This is exactly what I was going to say. It is basically an overview of books with links to Amazon or wherever. I forsee reviews, quotes, and links on par with IMDB. Only there is a benefit of being able to have full-text books too.
I had a play with it and it is quite limited at the moment. I did manage to add a book, but there was minimal instruction on how to go about this, and uploading covers at the moment is not available (as far as I could determine in 5 minutes anyway).
1. I closed all open applications 2. I opened IE 3. I went to the site 4. I clicked on the link 5. I got an error from IE (about trying to open the link) 6. Firefox opened up a window 7. Firefox asked me to launch app 8. Firefox shows a blank tab 9. I see no cmd.exe running
So I guess I still must be doing it wrong. I guess you must enjoy trolling and assuming everybody else is as incompetent as you.
MSDN didn't work with Firefox for a while back in the 1.x days. I had IETab to fix that. Seems to work fine for me now though. The local Intranet at work here doesn't get the menus working right (they unroll in the top left hand corner of the screen, no matter where they were supposed to) which makes browsing the intranet a hassle. Other than that I have no issues either.
Most people using Firefox wouldn't be browsing MSDN anyway, and only IT people where I work would be able to have Firefox installed, so its not really a big deal.
Weird. On windows, with Firefox 2.0.0.4, and clicking on the cmd.exe launcher on the page that you linked to (and by creating my own html page) It just opens a blank tab. cmd.exe isn't launched.
Firefox 2.0.0.4 and IE6.
Doesn't even work from IE, just loads a blank tab in firefox. I guess I must be doing it wrong:D
Well, considering it LOOKS like a toaster and ACTS like a toaster, surely they can just put a couple of slots in the top so I can heat my bread in the morning. With all that power under the hood we are just a few steps away from Talkie Toaster. Howdy-doodly-do!
What the government SHOULD do now is create this fibre network and keep the equipment in public trust, by perhaps creating a NEW entity that Telstra will have to lease connection off. Then, this entity can be responsible for asking Telstra for higher wholesale rates than it sells to other business customers.
We should be able to recoup a whole lot, and perhaps introduce some competition into the marketplace in the meantime... It's not going to happen though. I'm still waiting for better than 1.5Mbps to get to my area. Apparently Telstra just upgraded one of the exchanges in this town to DSLAM. Shouldn't be long before I can get ADSL2 here (forcasting 3rd quater this year). It has been 3 years since it was first scheduled for rollout (before Telstra was privatised).
American Freedom and Democracy are also a joke to the rest of the world. Freedom because although your keeping on talking about it, you are still censored by your own governments, and this includes your media, not to mention you are also an extremely conservative country compared to many countries in the world. Democracy because although you try to spread it to the world, not all the world wants your kind of democracy, where money will buy you a presidency.
I'll probably get modded down for above, but simply the reason we have so many countries is because not everybody agrees that a certain way of doing things is the right way. It just seems like the adamant stance that the American way of Freedom and Democracy are pushed on the rest of the world more than others, which is why people turn around and ridicule.
I am by no means saying that any country is better than another, because here in Australia we are a lot like the Americans in terms of conservative views, government support of the war etc. Personally I prefer our Government system because having an idiot in power here is at least the fault of the people who voted for them, not due to the desire of that person to get into power by splashing their cash around.
Seriously, if we all believed in the same things then we would be living under a Galactic Empire or something.
I'd be sweltering if it was above 40, and Cold if it were below 15... Freezing if it were below 0. I guess numbers don't really mean anything until we include the units.
I had quite a lot of logins for sites that were active up to 4 months after I left my last job. I could basically log into the website and log a job with them, or log on to an affiliates website and order parts:D. I left on good terms so I never abused this power (although I did log into the accounts every month or so just to check if they were still active).
For all the remote sites that they supported? I have access to their servers still. I haven't logged in to them but I can connect to their session, and there is no way that any of these places would be changing their passwords...
You should also have a voice cutover that says "your call is important to us" and perhaps have it do a countdown such as "you are now fifth in the queue" all the way down to "you are next in the queue" then go back to "you are fifth in the queue"... That'd frustrate the hell out of them:D

Be careful! They might hurl a bag of milk at you to silence your insolence.
It depends how riled they are about being chased by a Snake as to how deadly these mushroom eating badgers are.
Debating on the Internet is like running in the special olympics ... something about loose ?
In the US, White-Out and in the United Kingdom, Tipp-Ex are used widely as a colloquialism for correction fluid

Over time I have become used to hearing their Logon/Logof Chimes. It is only fair that I repay the Microsoft Artists for their hard work.
Funny, working for the Government I don't get to choose my OS, but at least I can choose my Browser.
OK, seems like your the smartest guy here.

Fucking is only considered wrong to those on Slashdot who like to hear the sound of one hand fapping.

If it were still in Public ownership then yes, Telstra Mk2... maybe they could call it "Telecom Australia" or something new and innovative like that?
What the government SHOULD do now is create this fibre network and keep the equipment in public trust, by perhaps creating a NEW entity that Telstra will have to lease connection off. Then, this entity can be responsible for asking Telstra for higher wholesale rates than it sells to other business customers.

Let us hope that prices are somewhat better too.
You aint been around here long, have you?
So the FCC want No Fat Chicks? They should get a bumper sticker...

You must be still clicking endless Cancel or Allows...
Personally, I am waiting until at LEAST SP1 is released before I install it.
