More sites need to do this though. Really. Detect the user agent as IE6, and pop up an annoying message telling them to upgrade. Or better - simply use modern css, refuse to fix the rendering errors in IE6, then put a message on the page telling them that this page will render in any browser made in the last 5 years. IE6 was not. Please upgrade.
Simple and effective - but everyone is too afraid of alienating the end user - even though you can instantly point them to stable and secure browser targets.
Why constrain yourself to 6? I mean why make your life difficult?
Live a little! Just ditch all IE version for a day. See what happens. What are people going to do? Flood your support lines? Oh - right, you don't have any support lines.:)
If you say so. I'm at a military manufacturing facility, and there are no plans to move away from XP ever. In fact we're more likely to move onto Linux than go to Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Makes me wonder - how many chinese don't just import the phone from elsewhere and unlock it?:\ China freaks me right the heck out. Breathing soon to be illegal, breeding semi-illegal, looking at government employees funny, illegal...
The thing that gets me is that this only covers half of the story. They ignore the white hats.:)
When I'm at a hotel for example, I'll usually bring a pair of Airport Express units. Take one, join it to the hotel's "paid" wifi, then nat over to the other in bridged mode via cross-cable, and create a new network with the ESSID "Hey look, free Wifi!".:)
Then again, my hat might always start changing colors on you, so watch out.
The same person that thought it was good to have automatic voicemail notification. Most modern GSM phones have a special set of binary SMS that come through for various purposes, one being voicemail notification.
Well, Resveratrol isn't a "med", it's just a compound found in red wine that may very well have beneficial side effect, but it's unproven in humans (at least, so far).
It's still sleazy as all get out, but just to be fair - resveratrol is perfectly safe as a supplement, but it's by no means a "med".:)
Free, because just like Vista, we won't be running it at the office, and I'm not running it at home. I hope they like selling downgrade licenses for XP and lying about their deployment base, because they're going to be doing it for some time to come.:P
Hey, they're simply (continuing) to live up to their name!
When I was in college (went to a small christian college in IL), the students were doing a self-led 10pm worship that was nothing but singing. I was the only guy on campus that owned an accoustic bass guitar, so I was asked to play along with the other guitarists, and agreed. We basically sang whatever praise and worship songs people started singing, and the guitarists went along with it and ad-libbed.
Well - about 2 weeks after we started this, the college got a letter from ASCAP demanding performance payments. I kid you not - someone on campus turned us in. For doing praise and worship in a private group. The girl scouts around a camp fire at least is a large enough organization that I can almost see it, but someone on campus was just feeling spiteful, and even after explaining the situation ASCAP would not back down and threaten to sue us if we continued.
So we couldn't do it anymore.:(
Absolute idiocy. If ever a group was aptly named, ASCAP has done themselves a service at least in that department.
Seriously. I bought a 2G iPhone when they first came out. Unlocked it, put it on T-Mobile. The 3G came out, and yes - wireless data service is undoubtedly faster, and you have real GPS. Otherwise our phones are identical.
So now the 3GS is out. Voice recognition seems to be the killer app here - but otherwise, you already HAVE a 3GS. Higher res camera and voice recognition are missing, true - but I have to think the voice recognition is in the software.
I haven't missed out on not having a 3G iPhone so far, and I sincerely doubt you guys are going to really miss out on much by not being early adopters of the 3GS. It won't be jailbroken right away, it's not unlockable (unless you import it, in which case this thread means nothing to you), and to be blunt, when it comes out, you have the superior product in your hand already.
I just don't get it. Someone want to clue me in? The metal casing on my 2G is starting to get beaten up enough for me to consider getting a new phone for that and more disk space, but by "new" I mean a used 3G once people start buying the 3GS, since the 3G is unlocked - but since T-Mobile's 3G data service isn't compatible, it's mostly getting an upgrade due to wear and tear, not for a new toy.
Seriously, fill me in on why you guys really care.
Run as stripped down and minimal of an install of windows as feasible. Install their "trojan". Establish your network connection.
Then install VMWare server, VirtualBox, or whatever. Use a NAT network connection, and install Linux inside of your VM. Problem solved.
The other option is to grab a POS PC, install their trojan on it, enable Internet Connection sharing, and slap it in a closet, hooked to a switch. Hook your "real" machine to the switch. Again, problem solved.
Yes, and on a new first down I'm not forced to run the same play over again so that the other team knows exactly what is coming. I'm not entirely sure I want to keep up with this analogy going though. I'm not sure I like where it leads...
Yes - but he never came off as spiteful in those situations that I can recall. Quinto came off as spiteful (whether that was his intent or not is debatable)...
You're being modded funny - but that's actually what I've been thinking. I saw it opening night, and again yesterday with my wife (she couldn't go opening night), and the only thing that's got me concerned is Spock's characterization. Even before Spock's encounter with "new" Kirk - for a vulcan, he's brash and has serious (not to mention ironic) emotional issues that are apparent. By the time we see Spock TOS, you'd think he really was purged of all emotion. At bare minimum, this Spock is prideful, even BEFORE anything serious alters "his" world. I don't think TOS Spock ever showed that trait.
So now we have an emotional Spock. If they ever were to make a full-on TV series based on this timeline, that gives them something else to play off of, but I can't help but think it harms that character more than it helps.
What I find funny is that we're talking about this like it's present-tense.
"...which lay about 200 million light years away..."
This didn't happen recently. It quite literally happened 200 million years ago. We just now noticed is all.;)
Either that, or we *really* don't have a clue, this just happened, and now we're going to have to send Bruce Willis up to clean up the mess, just like we always do.

I have to apologize for the mods around here.
That a freaking HILARIOUS mental image. :)

Right. Rouge servers. They're red. Did I miss something?
*whoosh*
So I'm building a new system for my wife and be sure that I'm going with Ubuntu.
There, fixed it for you. :) You really gotta learn to spell that right. It isn't that hard!

Where's my -1 "Bot Response" button? Ugh. This same response, littered all over the comments...and it isn't even true!

That said, McCoy is freaking DEAD ON. :D
It's been broken over all for years now. I'd try to do:
use strict;
and it always fails. WTF? :P

Eh - why not? Edit /etc/passwd and re-populate /etc/shadow. Does that not do the trick? (I'm not trolling, I've honestly never tried...)
Also - wasn't thinking clearly. We had two upstream providers, and WERE peering. That's why this was so infuriating. :(
