also, keep in mind that if the user was able to access the attachment and open it, patches won't help. Getting the user to tell you he/she opened the attachment is near impossible sometimes, though.
Outlook Express 6 blocks damn near EVERY extention (even emails forwarded as attachments are blocked) but you can get to them by clicking forward, then opening the attachment in the forwarded email before you send it, strangely enough.
And when I asked for a copy, I meant a plain-text copy zipped.:)
they have reportedly shipped 250,000 copies of the DVDs so I think they're assuming that most people that would watch it have already bought it and that a new version is the right thing to do. Of course, I expect the original to re-air within a week of the sequel.
$2000 a year for a desktop OS user? This should be marked "troll". $300/user for XP Pro (assuming no volume discounts) and a call to MS every month (anyone that had to call MS that much for support would probably be moved to an easier job) still only adds up to $900 but like I said, nobody calls MS 12 times a year for a desktop on a single machine.
I spoke to a banker a few months ago (I live in a banking city) and he explained to me that Stock Brokers are supposed to be seen in the same light as used car salesmen. He said it wasn't always the case but is now and that all consumers should know that and, if they don't, then it is their fault, just as if they believed everything a used car salesman told them.
okay, I know all about the U.S.'s spying on us and the changes to those practices afer September 11, but I don't have a clue about Russia's practices of spying on thier citizens, please point me to where you learned every method and practice they use.

you were either reading from the OEM EULA or just trolling...
well, first off, there has only been 1 service pack for XP
second, I don't have the service pack installed, so I can't confirm your quote from the EULA, but I was able to find that quote in the first paragraph of the EULA from the OEM version of XP.
Can you paste the entire quote from the TRANSFER section?
I am hired to do a task, questions arise regarding related matters, I study the business and the question, I give them an educated decision, they decide that it is their company and they make the decisions and go with whatever thing they were already planning on. sometimes to serious detriment, sometimes I just shake my head in wonder...
yes, that is the way it works. Activation keeps you from running it on more than one PC at a time, but you can use it on other PCs when you trash/upgrade the old one. I gave a boxed XP Pro to a friend and he's reactivated the same copy at least 5 times in the last 14 months due to upgrades/replacements/giving away the POS it was originally on, etc.
OEM versions only allow a single install on a single machine, which is why they are so much cheaper.
In that article (Schneider S. & Rasool S., "Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide and Aerosols - Effects of Large Increases on Global Climate", Science, vol.173, 9 July 1971, p.138-141), he said "We report here on the first results of a calculation in which separate estimates were made of the effects on global temperature of large increases in the amount of CO2 and dust in the atmosphere. It is found that even an increase by a factor of 8 in the amount of CO2, which is highly unlikely in the next several thousand years, will produce an increase in the surface temperature of less than 2 deg. K.
However, the effect on surface temperature of an increase in the aerosol content of the atmosphere is found to be quite significant. An increase by a factor of 4 in the equilibrium dust concentration in the global atmosphere, which cannot be ruled out as a possibility within the next century, could decrease the mean surface temperature by as much as 3.5 deg. K. If sustained over a period of several years, such a temperature decrease could be sufficient to trigger an ice age!"
Schneider also had this quote on the back of Lowell Ponte's book "The Cooling" (Prentice Hall, N.J., USA, 1976) "The dramatic importance of climate changes to the worlds future has been dangerously underestimated by many, often because we have been lulled by modern technology into thinking we have conquered nature. But this well-written book points out in clear language that the climatic threat could be as awesome as any we might face, and that massive world-wide actions to hedge against that threat deserve immeadiate consideration. At a minimum, public awareness of the possibilities must commence, and Lowell Ponte's provocative work is a good place to start."
In Scheider's own 1976 book "The Genesis Strategy", he predicted that falling temperatures would cause major crop failures by the end of the 70's.
I am not saying that any of the above statements regarding global cooling are true/false or that the statements regarding global warming are false/true, far from that. I am only pointing out Schneider's global cooling stance. I stand by my answer, Stephen Scheider, one of today's Global Warming proponents, was a major voice in the Global Cooling scare of the 1970's.
Yes, that is Science 101. However, once you leave class and enter the real world, you may decided that you can develop tests that prove an idea you like and ignore any data that proves otherwise. Global warming is the hot new thing these days, all the cool kids (I mean scientists) are doing it. It reeks of a bandwagon to me.
it would be possible to get around it, of course, but how many of the people that get these CDs would know how or even know to do it?
However, this would totally change the way things work today (and yesterday) because most of those free advance CDs are given away to friends (partly because most of them are crap, others because "you've got to hear this!" or as a way to make the friend shut up and stop his/her begging). After giving away a CD or giving it to a used CD store (it isn't hard to find "for promo use only, not for sale" stickers on CDs in used CD stores), the tracks will eventually find their way online and will be tracked back to the magazine writer, radio station, etc, that the disk was originally given to. And then no more freebies for the friends of the rivileged.
neither matter. What matters is the electoral college's votes. We have a system that prevents, for example, the entire states of NY, TX, and CA from voting for one candidate and and winning due to the popular vote even though the other 47 states (with lower turn-out) voted mostly for the other candidate.
unfortunately, this causes a lot of people in a lot of states to not even bother voting because they already know the outcome in their state (for example, not a single one of my presidental votes has ever mattered in the slightest), which makes the popular vote mean nothing at all but doesn't prevent idiot chicken littles from running around acting like the popular vote in Gore's favor means anything.

you should also report this to Symantec, they also say that the patch required was released March 29, 2001.
do you have a copy of the email/script? If so, can you email me a copy?
what flaw is this? Everything I've found regarding bugbear says that it exploits a known and patched hole in old versions (5.1 and 5.5) of IE.
(quote from one article: "Microsoft addressed the issue in Service Bulletin MS01-020 and issued a patch for the vulnerability in March of 2001.")
if you're in charge of the systems infected with the bugbear, count yourself among the idiots.

ah... I missed the "5 licenses" part. My apologies.

I took economics 101. $400 for MS Web Server 2003 doesn't seem "obscene" to me. The cost of the Standard Server may be, but not the web edition.

my theory:
it was damn cold during the last ige age and has been getting warmer.
but that sounds too easy and doesn't sell magazines.

so it's like an ice age with heaters? I never thought of it like that.
Stephen Schneider
in the 70's, many of today's Global Warming researchers were claiming that the Earth was falling into an Ice Age.
