    Hey now, be nice (as the same could be said for AIM).

    Have you checked out Pidgin? Also, think you could email a copy of the installer to me? I absolutely loved the customization features on the Mirabillis clients.

    What are you talking about? They only sold ICQ, an instant messenger client. They haven't gone out of business.

    Well, hate them more I should say.

    There are other reasons to hate Apple (ridiculously high prices, closed platform, etc.) but this one is the straw that broke the camel's back.

    Given that, then yes. Thanks BP is definitely the right sentiment.

  9. Ridiculous on Apple Raises E-book Prices For Everyone · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm really beginning to hate Apple. I'm in the process of putting together a manuscript and I would not agree to have it put in the Apple store just on this issue.

    Accidents happen. You'd be as quick with the "Thanks BP" if it were an Exxon or Shell or whatever rig.

    This is a catastrophe and all current rigs need to be fully inspected before another one happens (and it will).

    It is pretty nifty but yeah, this guy is going down (unfortunately).

  12. Re:Legacy apps on Corporate IT Just Won't Let IE6 Die · · Score: 1

    I stand corrected. I've never tested for that because I keep IE upgraded (though unused except for updates) just out of habit (I keep all installed browsers, no matter how little used, up to date).

    Then I imagine that after June this year, there will be no more support for IE6 (the EOL for XP SP2, which IE6's support cycle is based upon).

  13. Re:Legacy apps on Corporate IT Just Won't Let IE6 Die · · Score: 1

    It says specifically that support for IE6 on XP ends with the EOL for SP2 (June of this year). SP3 is supposed to upgrade to 7 or 8 (though I think if you're already at 7 it leaves it alone). There is nothing to indicate anywhere that I am incorrect in this assumption (nor to support it, hence it being an assumption).

  14. Re:Legacy apps on Corporate IT Just Won't Let IE6 Die · · Score: 1

    Support for IE6

    There will be no change to how Internet Explorer 6 is supported. The following operating systems have Internet Explorer 6 installed and will follow the lifecycle of the operating system: Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1.

    WinXP SP2 Support

    The support for your product will end July 13, 2010! To ensure that you will receive all important security updates for Windows after that date you need to upgrade to Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3) or later versions such as Windows 7.

    So my claim of anymore was hasty, but not (in the future) incorrect.

    Obviously you read only half of what I said.

    I said,

    Didn't The Guiding Light get picked up by a cable network (much like CBS picked up Medium)?

    Perhaps that clarifies it for you?

    But that's ok, I'll just go look for myself.

    And the answer to my question is a resounding: No. not that I care.

    I thought The Guiding Light was picked up by a cable network for new episodes (much like CBS picked up Medium).
