WHy would they fis it, when they already KNOW theres a problem, and yet they refuse to admit it to the customers who have lost money??!?! If they were quietly REIMBURSING the customers, then i would agree. But they arent.
I had a telescope growing up, and it was great for a couple of weeks, then i lost interest, except for special occasions like comets and the like. My parents just got me another one, that i have never even used.:( Luckily it was a cheapo off the home shopping network.
Im 30, i have a 15 year old neice. Im her uncle whos a bad influence. She has a very chauvanitsic dad, and an old fashoned mom who goes along with it. SO my sister and I have taken to buying her science related presents, advising her on how to start drinking in college, I taught her how to sharpen a knife properly for the girl scouts, and have basically told her all the stuff that i wish i had known at 15. Sex hasnt come up yet, but she hasnt asked.
SO, i guess they have no problem with ME running a sniffer on all traffic on their network? I mean, since they feel its ok for them to do it, its ok for me to do it.
But look at those big keyboard style things that they try to use to teach chimps language. THe usually seem to be a big wall mounted thing with large keys to make it easy to press. Maybe you could find out where/how they get those made. Im guessing theyre modified from some other use.
Also, just dont think computer. Perhaps an old fashoned keyboard typewriter with bigger buttons glued on it or something. Morse code? Scrabble tiles?
I support windows, from 95-xp. THey have changed the interfaces around with every damn release, for no sensible reason. They just bury them under more obfuscation , for no other apparent reason then to keep my ass in business. In additon, with every release, their office products go through more bloat, and give less value. I just had an Excel XP spreadsheet, that would only open proplerly in EXCEL fucking 97. And open office. All the other versions would lose all of the graphs. Some fucking improvements. MS excel was the ONLy MS product i thought worked well. Well, i switched to Open office. Their own products cant handle their own spreadsheets as well as their competetors, ie open office. Yeah, OO is a little clunkier, but its free and it goddam works.
Can anyone explain to me why WORD 97 opes up 12 seconds faster on a pentium 300 then WORD XP on a fucking 1.8ghz box? I didnt think so.
After supporting WORD XP for a year, i can categoriaclly say that it offers the same features as word 98, for all practical purposes. Oh, as a fucking feature improvement, how bout if you open a word document from outlook, dont hide the fucking saved changes in a HIDDEN system directory thats erased when you log off. This has been a problem since word 98. Silly users, they think when they save a document, theyll be allowed to see it again.
Please dont mod this as flamebait, it is an honest rant. I have been supporting their crap for 5 years, and im tired of it.
Whynot transplant the speices thats being wiped out back to the invaders home territory? Would the opposite apply? Cane toads are wiping out the austrailian frogs, would transplanting the austraialn frogs to the cane toads native habitat work the same way? I konw it would be bad enviornmentally, but it would be a fun experiment.
I give it 25 minutes till its cracked, another 4 hours for the Windows GUI app to come out.

REally? A one time only cartoon movie/episode would make sense, but this is just idiotic.
Therefore everyone will have to buy the upgrade to office 12.

one right there to take your picture of the transaction, and one farther away, so they can see you when you cover it with a post it.
