Anyone out there have a link to the last known "good" version? I haven't used it in a while and would like to get the penultimate uncrippled version. For the archives, yeah, that's it, the archives...
I even RTFA (!) and I couldn't determine whether or not Firefox is vulnerable or not. Based on things as usual, I'm assuming it isn't but I really cant tell!
A good place to find such items is Hamfests, or electronic flea markets. They have been rendered nearly useless with the advent of eBay and the like, but they still exist and nowadays, they are more computer junk than radio junk. There are typically lots of vendors there with tons of old computer boards. Most of the stuff is terribly outdated and people rarely buy anything, but you may find your jewel in the rough. Look to "Nuts & Volts Magazine" (they probably have a website) or do a Google search for "Hamfest Calendar" to find any scheduled fests in your area. Good luck, and YIAAH.
The Beatles formed Apple records and broke away from EMI, and later that freak Michael Jackson bought their whole catalog at one point. I remember being sickened by the thought. I think Jacko had to sell the collection to pay for his legal troubles, if and to whom I don't know.
I'm pretty sure the list given is just current (living) EMI artists.
I believe the Rolling Stones used to be one of theirs, also.
Russia has had a history not announcing space flights until a successful landing had occurred, so that any failures could be quietly swept away. I'm not sure if that still is the case today, but that and the fact that most were boring unmanned ISS resupply missions means the general drooling public just can't be distracted from who the latest American Idiot^H^H^Hol is this week to give a crap.
The Russian officials said that the launches of spacecrafts will be lesser than what this year has been seen.
This must have been literally translated from Russian. Most other languages are hilarious when literally translated without changing cases or tenses - "Throw me down the stairs my hat".
The phenomenon has also been called the "Spring Effect" because from the aerial view of "Choppper 4", the waves of idiocy propagating back down the line look like the expansion and compression of a spring.
Your post makes no grammatical sense at all. Are you trying to organize your thoughts into coherent speech? If so, try harder. Oh, and it's spelled "retarded", not "retarted", speaking of the devil.
I don't get why you think I'm being pompous, when it's the VP's that are doing that. We support them the best we can. Or was that just me misreading your thoughts because of the embarrassing steamer you call a post?
Finally, what does this have to do with Crossover? Just because you got bitch slapped for running an unsupported configuration, don't blame me. I think that was the thought you were trying to squeeze from your brain, like a giant constipated turd.
Well, the bank I consult for happens to have several VP's who have IT install custom programs for them, but they call the companies' tech support lines themselves. This is because the IT folks there have never seen nor know how to support those utilities.
Sounds good, but the luser on the tech support line won't know the tech that installed it checked "OK" when it was installed. When that luser happens to be a corporate VP, then the fun starts.
What might work in the shop adequately may not be robust enough for general use. We take OS faults in stride...
Back on topic, I've suspected artificial version lockout on many occasions, stuff that will install on XP but not 2K, even though they are almost identical "under the hood". Seems especially common on high end A/V editing/processing programs. I'm interested that TFA pointed to the Orca editor, that sounds like an quickie way to see just how many of these programs will _actually_ run under win2k.
The device was probably a "GemPrint" machine, a device that makes a laser scatter-graph of the diamond's reflection profile. Each cut makes each diamond provide a unique pattern when you shine a laser into it, and they use these to profile, catalog and serialize the diamond. You can see the scatter-graph of your diamond yourself by shining a laser pointer into the face of the diamond directly while pointing the diamond toward a wall (to avoid blinding yourself). The resulting pattern is very pretty and, of course, unique. One of my old roommates used to work for GemPrint aligning the machines, but that was a while ago - this sounds like a smaller more portable version.
Well, I have a busier than average life, and I don't have time to sit through all the congressional drool-a-thons on the CSPAN's.
It's a simple choice for me - either TDS or local "news". Because I don't have time to get ALL the viewpoints, I picked one. Either a half-hour of doom & gloom FUD news, or a half-hour of entertaining news.
I tend to think there are a lot of others in the same situation where TDS is entertaining enough to make people give a shit at all about politics and world news.

I'll take mine with cheese, thanks!
The lights go out, 5 seconds of silence, and roll credits. Journey plays in the background.
Did the Morgan Hill rep get whacked or not?
Yeah, no shit. Must be "Mods on Crack" day...

How about a public service announcement:

I think "was" is the operative word here.

I wonder what degree of "Road Rage" the BSOD's will evoke!
fp?

Not only that, it had a nice rack... (bah-dump)
Thank you, you're too kind. I'll be here all week - try the venison!

My, what a vicious troll. OK, I'll bite - yes, it is relaxing to not have to sort out fact from bullshit on what is purported to be the "news".
With TDS, I don't have to ask myself "Is this a joke?" - because I know it all is.
It would seem that you've gone overboard on that being an asshat is a good idea.
I get all my news from The Daily Show (and now, Colbert).
I can't be more succinct.
