    But 128K is still slow, after having a cable modem and unlimited monthly downloads, I cant go back! I mean cmon, 500 meg download limit? I do that in an hour on kazaa lite. :)

    'eye-witnesses' - umm, and you were one of those, eh?

    'Baby Bush' - dude, you are a re-tard. The USA is doing what everyone 12 years ago decided to do, only the USA has the balls to enforce it. OK, 12 years ago Saddam agree's to disarm. Everyone is happy, pats themselves on the back, and goes home. 12 years go by, and saddam is laughing his ass off as he builds up a weapons stockpile. Now the USA is calling on the UN to come back in and get the job done that EVERYONE decided on 12 years ago, and everyone is being pussies and sitting on their asses.

    Well, you know what, the USA will do the worlds dirty work. Because we believe in freedom, and you know what else?? Those are MY friends and MY co-workers out there risking their lives to protect SORRY ASSES like YOU from getting bombed in your sleep.

    So dont give me any shit about prisoners of war being mistreated while your sitting safe at home because of GW Bush and the americans fighting in Iraq.

    Yes, but wouldnt this constant exposure to these generally weaken the human body's ability to fight off disease itself? Also, this would help develop more resistant strains of bacteria. I think this is a bad thing, IMHO..

  10. Re:Server doesn't use XP interface on Windows 2003 Going Gold · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well, command line has its uses, for sure. I mean, you wouldnt want to put a GUI on a cisco router, but a GUI has a way of organizing information to present to you all at once. In a lot of cases, I can grasp a concept of how something works, or better work on a configuration on a service, with a GUI. Take a checkpoint firewall for instance. Checkpoint has TONS of options for setting up objects, encryption domains, etc. Having a GUI lets me see groups of options that are inter-related, where a command line leave's me wondering.

  11. Re:It's an excellent strategy. on Windows 2003 Going Gold · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Yea, but where do they guarantee they will continue to fix their old products forever?? IMHO they need to get their developers off that old shit (NT 4.0) and get them working on making sure new releases are bug-free (or closer too it)

    Sometimes you just have to let go...

  12. Re:Server doesn't use XP interface on Windows 2003 Going Gold · · Score: 1

    Just end explorer if you are that concerned. I run a server at home, an old box running Windows 2000 server, and its light on RAM. I just hit task manager, end task on explorer, and close out of task manager. Now all you can do is move the mouse around, or restart explorer from task manager again.

    Save the ram!!!

    Thats why I dont understand why ISP's dont get more involved in fighting SPAM, its costing THEM money. You would think that a big backbone like UUNET would spend a chunk of change to create 100% accurate filters and be pro-active on blocking out this bull-crap. It would only benifit them down the road.

    It would even waggle the magic word 'ROI' in front of the exec's, so why isnt it happening yet??

    Dude, I cut my teath on an 8088 doing basic programming. :P And we have 233's here that run phoenix just fine. And there is no excuse for having a 486 60 mhz PC now, I have bought and sold full 233 mhz+ systems for 30 - 40 bucks, and with memory as cheap as it is, I dont think developing for 2% of the population is what a web master has in mind when he's making his boring ass web site for those 300 lynx users out there.

    Actually, I use phoenix, and have yet to find a page that does not render properly. It handles css just fine, does flash, everything. And its tiny, and runs great on even slow PC's.

    If you care about speed, get a cable modem. If you cant get a cable modem where you live, move to where you can. If you cant move, then deal with the speed. It is not the responsibility of a web designer to make a page accessable to people who decide to use 4 year old browsers.

    Shifting responsability is a sickness in society today, nobody just stands up and takes responsibility for their own actions. Cmon people, if you want to look at a web site that was done with CSS, has flash, etc., then UPGRADE

  21. Well, they have to fight linux.. on Microsoft To Teach Undergrads About Secure Computing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It makes sense that they are doing this.

    Linux as a whole doesnt have so much money they have to give it away at an enormous rate, so MS will train the up and coming sys-admins into Windows and .net technologies, and the next generation will shun linux and MS will take over the world!
    This is the same diff as MS giving computers to libraries all over the world. Isnt it nice that they can copy a software CD for .02, and then donate it to charity for a $300 dollar write off??

  23. OK, here is my problem on Open Source for Dummies? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I am an experienced PC user (from 95% windows / dos background), and a sysadmin if a fairly large company. I am mostly self-learned, and the main difficulty I have with open source - linux is that most instructions assume a level of knowledge that I dont have, so I end up getting frusterated and dropping the project. Like, I am trying to get sendmail configured to act as an intermediary between our exchange server and the web, and filter out content. Well I have found some helpful guides, they all say something like 'compile sendmail' and I'm stuck not knowing HOW! I do phone support, and 90 percent of the time I just rattle off..

    'click start' then click settings' and click on the control panel... well, start is the button in the lower left that says 'start'... no, its not a button on your PC, its on the screen... yes, I am sure its not a button on the front of your computer...

    Anyways, you get the idea. Make it simple, or at least someone out there make a basic guide on things that most instructions take for granted! :)
