Steam continually updates for me and I can't get to the point where I can install the game - big frustration - I'm about to return the box as it is obviously "Not of Merchantable Quality".
I don't blame you. If it is unpredictable then by definition it can't be predicted, the best you could manage would be an educated guess. I guess they can really only predict the stuff that's just mindbogglingly difficult to predict.
If it really can predict the unpredictable, let's see it try to predict which atom in a radioactive element is going to decay next. Then I'd be impressed.
I'm not sure I like where this is going...are you saying Windows patches all the componentes I don't have installed, so that in the event I turn one on its is fully patched and ready???
Yeah, I'm scared to run that update - if Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool works as good as it sounds, it'll probably remove half my Windows installation for me.
I have four updates to install right now. Out of the four, one is for Outlook Express which I don't even have installed. Another update is for Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, which I never install and in addition always tell it not to bother me with any more updates but they still keep appearing.
I guess the problem is control. If you want to retain control of your machine, you end up fighting against the system and have to watch it very closely. The alternative is to drink the kool-aid and allow updates to take over your machine ceding control to Microsoft. For me, I'd rather try to retain at least the semblance of control over the machine I use on a daily basis.
Is the fact that if you don't use any of your Skype-out credit in a 6-month period, they'll hoover up the balance of your account. I know it's in the TOS, but it's still a nasty shock when they clean you out.
is also Windows only. Telus refuses to accept the existence of anything other than the Redmond OS.
It's possible to set everything up without Windows boxes, but the process is such a PITA that I wouldn't go through it myself, just glad I have a suitable laptop to use.
A friend sent me a link for his Facebook profile. The link wouldn't work unless I was registered with the site myself. What a crock of shit I thought, as I declined to join.

I'll just go and try to find where I put my trusty British Thornton
To get everyone to upgrade to Excel 2008. Out soon!!!! Lots of new, er, features...cheap!!!
You got that far huh?
We got BSOD on multiple XP boxes when printing, so we had to revert back to the bloated Adobe Reader.
This should help Kenny Blankenship avoid getting clocked over the head by Vic Romano all the time.
Actually, 8.86613 U.S dollars at the moment.
...have prior art in this case.
That would be Hugo Weaving. I had the same problem.
You're outnumbered, Aragorn. Or should I say 'Mr. Anderrrsssooonnnn'.
Yes you can. See here for one method.
Then I'm all for it.
Did it go bamalama-ding-dong?
It's there, you just have to look for it.
Right-click a program icon after you click 'Start'. 'Run as...' is in the context list.
Hold on, you can shoot with these things? Or is that for the US market only?

I'd gladly take a 50% reduction in my cable bill if it meant putting up with a couple of commercial-free channels.

Funny you mention it - I just sent that exact cut-n-paste to someone I know who works in IT for a large company.
