Marriage is all about what past events a partner can bring up in a fight in order to force the other to admit defeat.
Example:
Wife: Why didn't you take out the garbage? Husband: I was in a hurry, couldn't you do it for once? Wife: For once?!?! Let me tell you what I have to do...
and so on until...
Wife: And what about this damn engagement ring... it's not even a diamond.
At this point the husband has lost.
So, buy the diamond, don't sleep around and you may win a fight now and then.
And how hard is it for a guest to get make themselves administrators?
Step 1. copy musrmgr.exe over the top of logon.scr Step 2. reboot Step 3. when the logon screen appears just wait for a while until the screensaver kicks in and poof... up comes the user manager. Step 4. Make yourself an administrator
So I should have changed my subject to Takes Imin plus reboot for me.
Damn... even MS exploits require you to reboot these days!
At my work most of us developers have a task manager window running, executed using the 'at' command. This means the task manager is running as LocalSystem and can kill practically anything. Especially good for bugs which cause endless warning boxes to appear.
Go to file|new task and run cmd. Do a whoami to see who you are now 'NT_AUTHORITY\SYSTEM'.
Now I believe this one is wholly an MS problem. Their OS, their at command, their task manager.
Since Mozzie 1.0 I've never had it crash on me. IE6 on the other hand has crashed on me several times and while viewing some of most simple of pages. I now only use IE6 when tesing out my web application.
In fact all governments other than the US governments looking at OSS are non-US governments. Hope we all have this straight now.
As for the do we really want software from another government. If MS stopped exporting to a country then wouldn't the country simply start/encourage MS software piracy if it wanted to use MS software so bad. I'm sure the French would anyway.
If you are going to go with a linux box to do the traffic shaping just pick up an old Pentium/Pentium II from somewhere. You don't need a monitor or extra gadgets, just a box with appropriate networking capabilities. You could even borrow the mouse and keyboard from your computer to help get it up and running. Once it is all configured you should be able to just tuck it away in a nice cool place and forget about it.
Before everyone starts screeming, "Why only development for Redhat!" you may note that John Gilmore (evidently a Redhat guy) donated the money for this project. I don't know why Redhat didn't just hire the guy.
Read a bit deeper next time, keeping in mind Microsoft's track record and current distaste for the GPL and similar variants (i.e. any license which says they can't steal it for their very own).
Quote 1: They're offering to license their IP under reasonable and nondiscriminatory terms; will license rights to the extent necessary, provided a reciprocal license is granted to MS. So basically they will control the extent of the license and will also dictate the reciprocal (probably less instrusive) license granted back to them.
Quote 2: Microsoft suggests that other bodies have licensing terms that are more effective in a corporate sense, and we should look at adopting some of those terms. Interpret this as the licensing terms should exclude GPL cause we can't make money out of it.
It was obvious from reading the minutes what line Microsoft was pushing. The only contributions they made to the whole meeting was 'we've got IP and this is how we want you to license it'. At least Dell had the balls to say that all the licensing stuff was currently irrelevant.
You have absolutely no experience then. Here in Australia we call it Australian Rules Football or Aussie Rules for short. And in my experience most Irish do say "Gaelic Football" so as to differentiate from football (a.k.a soccer).
Oh, so if the Japanese and *probably* the Koreans, both dripping in football history, use the term soccer then it has to be an international term. I mean, that's like 1% of the total number of nations who attempted to qualify for the World Cup.
So Canadians play a version of your football, American football would still apply since they are an American nation.
... Brit, South African, Kenyan, Zimbabwean, Pakistani, Indian, Sri Lankan, Bangladese, Malaysian, Indonesian, Australian, New Zealander, Jamacian, every other Carribean nation (except for Dominican Rep)
Oh dear, just a quick search of the internet could have saved you the embarrasment of discovering that Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, South Africa, The Carribean and Mother England have been competing in a World Cup for quite some time now (one-day cricket) and most of these teams have been playing test matches against each other for over a hundred years. There are also other emerging teams like Zimbabwe (hard to call them emerging now though - their actually quite a decent team), Bangladesh, Kenya and even Canada.
But just in case you were wondering we do play baseball down here in Australia and we actually won a couple years back a sort of baseball world cup. Yes, the US, and Dominican teams did not field any major league players (I think) but we won none the less.
It seems the Tan & Tan Lawyers (the bad guys solicitors) have an Free Legal Advise By Email page on their website. Who's up for flooding them with questions on the legality of spamming?
How much do you want to bet that 45 percent gap is freeware and/or open source?
I bet most of that comes from Winzip, Winamp, ICQ and probably Acrobat Reader as well. If you check out tucows top downloads you'll probably add Irfan View and Norton Anti-virus to the list. Yes the above list is prodominantly freeware but it's not open source.
Open source has produced some great software but your average Joe is not using Mozilla to view his local website written using Open Office and served up by Apache.
Tell me why you are doing something, not just what you are doing
Just a little example:
intVariable += 1// add one to the variable
Well duh! I can see that. But why are you adding one to the variable. Any fool can see that we are adding one to the variable, that is the only thing that doesn't need commenting. What I want to know is why you are adding one, is it a counter, some sort of index?
Yes, sometimes an explaination of what you are doing is required as well but the big question is why. 'What' can usually be figured out without too much hassle but 'why' is what we all need to know.
just my 4 cents (I'm dealing in $AUS so I gotta double my 2 cents)
Here it is in a nutshell. Michael posted a link to the story (we'll call this the 'news') and then added his opinion (or 'bias' as you like to call it). This is how/. has operated since day one.
If you disagree with his opinion, offer yours. If you don't care about his opnion then just read the news and be done with it. But he's running the show and posting the story and in a round about way, he gets fp.
And like I said before, his 'opinion' was actually based on news.
Here goes the anti-anti-Microsoft rave again which is almost as common as the anti-Microsoft rave. The only problem here is that michael actually has a valid point which simply isn't just his anti-Microsoft view.
Microsoft do have a "we control everything" approach (open your eyes if you can't see that). Is there anything particaularly wrong with this attitude. Sometimes yes, sometime no, but in this case, michael points out that this approach may impact on the number of games available. Is that an anti-Microsoft rant and rave? I don't think so. Just an analysis on how he feels game makers would react to Microsoft's need for control.
Next time try turning down the sensativity on your anti-anti-Microsoft warning buzzer.
Oh and your "I'll take the karma hit..." is classic Karma whoring, we see right through it. And yes, outing your karma whoring tactics is karma whoring itself, so sue me.
"We try to keep a complete list of all the people killed or otherwise maimed because of legalized abortion"
If the poster had read the website and followed the links he would have realised that they were not referring to abortion doctors but women who have been injured or killed as a result of a dodgy abortion.
And for all those who modded him up without checking it out for yourself... well done, it's guys like you that keep/. readers well informed.

Using IIS I presume
Well I stand corrected. Being an Australian AOL != Internet here.
Maybe so, but in this case they guys were in totally different states. Do you honestly think they are both going through the same proxy server?
Before everyone starts screeming, "Why only development for Redhat!" you may note that John Gilmore (evidently a Redhat guy) donated the money for this project. I don't know why Redhat didn't just hire the guy.
Since someone tries to sue the game manufacturers. You can get off your high horse now.
