Yeah... Microsoft carefully tests all of their bug fixes and updates. That's why things like this never happen:
>I installed directX 8.1 and my direct3D is now officially hosed!!! Any ideas?
>Error msg is: >Direct3D test results: Failure at step 8 (Creating 3D Device): HRESULT = 0x887602eb (error code)
I had the same Problem with my Geforce4 MX and DirectX 8.xx. The Fix was kinda strange. And only works on Windows 2000 and XP, not to shure do.
Go and start Netmeeting, in there click on Desktop sharing. It will come up with a wizard go trough it all and when done, Go there agan and now select Disable Desktop sharing. Not go back to your DxDiag tool and you will see, Problem is gone. It seems that Desktop Sharing from Netmeeting is turned on at install and needs to be stopped. You can most off the time also notice this by looking at your icons. Thay will be 16Bit and not multi-color.
"I should be making more money", instead of "I'm so glad I have a job".
"My house is too small", instead of "I'm happy to have a roof over my head".
There is a lot that I take for granted. But I stand where I am at and reach for more. There is something to be said for taking time to appreciate all of the "blessings" that we have, but it shouldn't stop us from dreaming of more.
1. It shows that you have never created a SSL certificate with OpenSSL. The snakeoil stuff is defaults. No big deal.
2. Trust the certificate. Just don't send any information you want kept secret. It's just encrypting the request/reply, not installing anything on your computer.
Bringing to terrestrial communications what satellite comms have had for years: Demand Assigned Multiple Access. The article is a bit short on technical details, but it sounds like a very similar concept.
This is just another step...

Our military is already rather technologically advanced. In the Gulf "War" U.S. losses were (statistically) miniscule. How many anti-war protests have you seen recently that site danger to our military personell as reason not to fight?
Complie a list of the countries where the prevailing opinion is anti-USA.
Compile a list of the contries that activly request assistance. Don't include those places that are getting aid whether they want it or not.
I'd be willing to bet that you won't see much of an intersection.
Saying that we we will keep the monetary outlays is an empty argument. It will never happen. It would make for a really interesting experiment though. How interesting it would be to have the ability to look into theoretical alternate dimentions.
They fear basic human rights because it is the specter of equality of the sexes that threatens to unleash the pent up anguish of the long subordinated and denigrated women.
Check. Glass ceiling, old boy's network. True, it's not the same scale, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
They see in America and Israel obvious scapegoats to heap all of their society's ills upon.
Check. Plenty of scapegoats. It's the commies. It's the terrorists. Whatever.
They fear education because it threatens to undermine their monopoly on wisdom and knowledge.
Check. How do you explain a 75% aproval rating for the current President? Ignorance and chest beating is how I choose to explain it. It fits with my agenda.
The West glorifies everything that scares them the most.
s/West/terrorist nations/ Check. This seems to fit in well with the whole scapegoat thing. Give a dis-similar group a common enemy, and watch the complaints of normal life (insufficient health care, traffic congestion, poor educational system, etc.) just fade away.
They keep their subjects as dumb and seething as possible in order to legitimize their power. By giving their subjects a target, they have sown the seeds for terrorism.
Not all of us are dumb and/or seething. Enough are that it doesn't seem to matter.
Yeah. It's flamebait. Maybe even tinfoil hat propoganda. It's not intentional, just seemingly unavoidable. Moderate as you see fit.
Apparently Sten Guns were not very well made, or well liked:
Ode to a Sten Gun By Gunner. S.N. Teed
You wicked piece of vicious tin! Call you a gun? Don't make me grin. You're just a bloated piece of pipe. You couldn't hit a hunk of tripe. But when you're with me in the night, I'll tell you pal, you're just alright!
Each day I wipe you free of dirt. Your dratted corners tear my shirt. I cuss at you and call you names, You're much more trouble than my dames. But boy, do I love to hear you yammer When you 're spitting lead in a business manner.
You conceited pile of salvage junk. I think this prowess talk is bunk. Yet if I want a wall of lead Thrown at some Jerry's head It is to you I raise my hat; You're a damn good pal... You silly gat!
I found that odd myself. Here is a whole article claiming that the computer system is "nearly silent", and that the movie is available in "three languages".
It turns out that you never get a chance to "hear" the silence of the computer, and the only words are written descriptions of what the components are. IMNSHO the video is a complete waste of bandwidth for anyone who has put together their own computer. I was hoping for something along the lines of a documentary, or (dare I say it?) an infomercial at the worst. What I got was a waste of my time. Bleh.
They are (apparently/somehow) protected against computer-to-computer copying, but
...Universal has decided to let buyers burn the files onto conventional CDs in unscrambled formats, meaning they could be copied or moved freely from that point.

Do you have something against the ability to trace the original source in the case of wide spread distribution? No, really. I'm curious.

Not that I'm holding a grudge or anything.
Isn't that our nature?

There's a Pepsi in the fridge, right next to the urine sample (Bud Light, prune juice, etc.). Hope you can tell the difference. Bleh!
It's two years old, but here is a really nice composite of world light polution, and a "brief explanation written by a professional astronomer."
Just use some of the converted energy to power flood lights.
Duh!
Yeah. I understand completely what you mean. Perhaps it is purposefully "unscrupulous sounding" to encourage people to change it.
Seems that it didn't work here.

This is just another step in the same direction.

Send it into space, it will be really hard to retreive.

Ya know, that's how I feel about my computer much of the time. "You are a piece of sh*t, except when I really need you."

How does one business line generate more than 100% of a company's profits?
How the hell does one business line exceed 100% of a compannies profits?
Guess it's not really a legend...Yet.
How about a patent on the method of swinging sideways on a swing as seen in this story.
Well said.
No really, I'm curious.

So wherein lies the problem exactly?
