Seriously, guys, Star Trek:TNG is off the air. You can stop writing like this now.

It's a public service, it stops the parents from ramming the other cars while stuck in traffic.
Not really. Compare the "PC games" section to any other individual console, excluding the used games (since you can't have that for PC), and you'll actually notice it of respectable size--especially since the games are packed in tighter.
Its apparently gotten so tight that the games have gone invisible. I went to two new Gamestops recently, one had no PC games, the other had 1 rack (3 shelves) with a poor choice of games.
It's about time Microsoft has started a "Games for Windows" push, but they have a lot to overcome.
Software stores have almost completely given up on PC games. Gamestop is a good example of this. What used to be a PC store has turned into 2 wire racks of PC games.
While Microsoft has pushed video cards into DirectX, audio fell apart. Games need both.
Microsoft hurt itself with the Xbox. It should have been simple to port games between Windows and Xbox. Microsoft should have encouraged Windows/Xbox releases, but they didn't do much.
Microsoft had a decent home brand, and abandoned it, several times. Bring back Microsoft home with a vengeance.
If they can overcome these hurdles, you'll see a comeback in PC games.
Like most poorly thought out policies, what they mean, what they do and what they say are all different. It still might be enough to get a lawsuit into court.
So now that hackers know there exists a backdoor to the windows update which will let them update a stealth patch to anything they want in the system because it runs with admin rights, this isn't a big deal to you?
Sure, all they need to do is forge all of Microsoft's digital certificates first. Patches are signed or else they don't install without warnings.
After Egghead on Maiden Lane went out of business, so did most home software sales in downtown Manhattan. You have a choice, J&R, Staples or travel all the way up to Waverly.
Your arrogance amazes me. If people like me are the reason why HTML coding sucks, people like you are the reason the entire industry sucks.
Service providers should provide service. You're advocating typical finger pointing crap, 'oh, not my problem, I won't fix it and I don't care if my customers suffer, let Microsoft fix it'.
Yeah, I'm dumb; I mistakenly believe that both parties should do something to provide a fix or workaround for the services people pay for.
And like I said before, I'll write in HTML strict, I'll even write XHTML strict, but if my users say 'I can't see your content' I'm not going to get on a soapbox and say, 'Blame Microsoft', I'm going to work around it. Anything else is just typical arrogance, the type that eventually puts you out of business.
think untested software patches in a diverse environment are fairly likely to break things. But then I've only been a programmer for years, so whatever.
Great, now, where did I say 'untested software patches'?
It's directly because of people like you that the html coding standards on the web suck so much.
Actually, I follow HTML strict, but if I have to break it to serve to 90+ percent of my user base, I will. The customer comes first, if 99% of my customers don't follow a standard, I will do what I can get make sure they get service.
Microsoft can author a 6000 page... blah blah blah, linux, whatever...
I see. The ISP should develop, test, and roll-out a third-party patch to their DHCP server, to work around a problem on some misconfigured client machines.
I said they should work around a bug, that would be part of their job. You implied that the clients are deliberately misconfigured, they aren't.
What if they screw up the connections of the 90% of people who aren't using Vista while doing this?
What if their router explodes and burns the bulding down? Don't be inane.
Why don't you just insist that Microsoft fix its software, to allow their customers to use the service they pay for... You know, that sounds familiar.
Good point, I suggest you re-read my message, especially the part where the ISP should try to work with Microsoft. You might have missed that part while thinking up your random "what if" (FUD) question.
Actually, why should the provider CHANGE their config which works perfectly fine with OSes that follow standards?
How about, to allow their customers to use the service they pay for?
If it's a small fix, you bend the fuck over backwards and make sure your customers get service. If it's not a small fix, you work with Microsoft to get it fixed, and you provide a workaround to get your customers service.
Otherwise, your company deserves to go bankrupt and the idiot trying to make a point deserves to be standing on the unemployment line. You NEVER, EVER sacrifice your user base to make a point with to a third party.
It's about choice. If IE meets your needs, then use it.
It does, but I'm always looking to improve.
Others have found that the extensibility and robustness of Firefox are useful, especially when combined with the fact that most malware is written for IE.
At the moment, you are correct, there is more malware for IE, however, with the extensibility and robustness of Firefox, I expect this to change.
why are you reading the nerdiest website in the world if you aren't interested in such nerdy things as fine-tuning and customizing your software?
Been using Visual C++ since 1.5, I customize quite a bit.
The people who passed with reasonable scores knew word processors
Unfortunately, the testers didn't. Pagemaker is a desktop publisher, not a word processor. They might as well have told them to write in Eudora, it's close enough.
And yes, I get the point they were trying to make.

Rename to GameStop, destroy service.
Actually, I know why they changed the name to GameStop, mostly because they stopped carrying quality games.
Seriously, the return policy might be why you don't have a large PC section, but please explain why you have a PC section with no quality.
Not really. Compare the "PC games" section to any other individual console, excluding the used games (since you can't have that for PC), and you'll actually notice it of respectable size--especially since the games are packed in tighter.

If AT&T starts policing content, then they have proven they have the ability and resources to police their network.
So, now the fun begins, since they have proven they can police their network, they now have to respond to any illegal activities or risk a lawsuit.

- swedish-community-cant-get-online/ http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/92823 3 Sounds like the ISP is at least partially to blame.

You're offtopic.
It was about the time when you started trolling.
How witty. Given time you might even be able to dress yourself one day. Perhaps you can compile a linux distro to help you with it.

Actually, I didn't list my preferences here, but Opera is currently my second browser.
I don't consider Safari for Windows to be usable yet.
Ok, not trolling:
IE is faster, fully supported by Microsoft and has about the same amount of bugs as Firefox.
Make the point for me to switch and I'll do it.
I'll start a journal entry if anyone wants to reply.
