In XP, there is no edit button to make changes, and the need to exit the edit dialog, go the advanced dialog and then come back to the edit dialog; is gone.
Um, no it's not. In XP, it's an Add button and it still doesn't work if the permissions are inherited. It'll let you add the person, but the moment you click ok, it'll error out telling you the permissions are inherited and that you have to copy them or remove them first. So you still have to go to the Advanced button and copy the permissions over before adding/changing any others.
Sure, if I picked up on the fact that the check boxes were greyed and so inerited, I'd save myself the headache; I don't see why it's necessary in the first place. Let me do my edits and ask me to allow admin rights when I attempt to write them back.
As I said, XP doesn't even attempt to do this. And how would it know if you want to add new permissions or just completely change the inherited permissions? Sounds like you want a computer that can read your mind and not one that will do what it's told. Maybe you should just learn to realize that greyed check boxes are inherited permissions.
I believe that many Christians might find dropping "the book" (aka Bible) in the toilet to be just as demeaning and degrading to them.
As a Christian, it wouldn't bother me one bit. My faith is not defined by the state that a copy of the Bible is in. Flush it down the toilet all you want. Burn it, piss on it, I don't care. At least not enough to raise a huge stink or claim I'm being "tortured".
What really gets me is that the bug was discovered 4 years after the OS was released. (Note the date on the KB article.) Apparently no one, including Microsoft, thought an uptime of less than two months was abnormal.
Or, no one ever bothered to keep a workstation on that long, so the bug wasn't discovered until that time. Windows 95 was not designed as a server OS. Hence, an uptime of more than a day (how many people really leave their computers running 24/7?) wasn't necessary.
He didn't seem to have a problem not even attending communion mass once the local priest said that people of high station should be setting an example. I think you put to much weight into the power of the Church, just like a lot of people around here do.
Said person that upgrades a lot should not be purchasing OEM licenses. They're cheaper for a reason. They're meant to be used on one complete system, one time. Just because you don't understand MS licensing scheme, does not mean it doesn't work.
If you upgrade parts so damn often that the OEM version is crapping out on you, spend the extra cash and get the full version of either Pro or Home. Yeah, it costs a little more, but it saves a whole hell of a lot of time when doing upgrades and it keeps you perfectly legal.
For the people buying pre-built systems, have them contact their vendor for a reinstall CD. They are required to send one (they may charge a nominal fee, like $10, not sure on that though). More often then not, the people that ask me for help with their HP, Dell, etc, etc have had the system for less than a year and are just to stupid to bother calling support. Unless it's family, I always tell them to call tech support since they will be able to get it running before I have time to come over.
No asshat, they use XP Pro, which is a superset of MCE. Why get MCE when XP Pro has everything built-in, plus it'll join a domain, which I don't think MCE will.
I think that's his point. WordPerfect use to be THE word processor to use. Now, here we are in 2007, where pretty much everyone uses Word. To say the MS won't be able to penetrate the market that Adobe currently owns is nonsense. And even if they make mediocre products, at the very least their price might come down.
When IE first came about, everybody said it couldn't take over because HTML was a standard. But since FrontPage and FrontPage Express used broken html that IE could read just fine, IE began to take over. Of course, it helped that it was shipped with every copy of Windows, but I think you get the point.
Forced my ass. Nobody makes anybody go into debt but themselves. It's more like a generation that doesn't know what "NO" means. Those of us that do know what "NO" means actually have a savings account and nearly no debt. Our children will also know what "NO" means because they won't be getting everything they ask for. When they get old enough, they'll be able to buy they're own stuff and learn how to save, just like we did.
So what you'll have is a class of people that know the value of a dollar and know how to save. Then you'll have everyone else that's in debt up to their ears, teetering on bankruptcy. The first class of people will be making money off the second since the second class is to stupid to learn anything.
You know you can just copy the contents of the i386 folder (can't remember the equivalent on the 9x line right now) and then redirect it in the registry. Hell, if you do it right, you can install it right from the i386 folder that's now on your hard drive and it'll use that as the install location if you ever need to add or change anything.
Or you could just vote absentee. That way, you can fill out the ballot during your offtime and at your leisure. Maybe do your local initiatives one day, house and senate another day, then everything else on another day. That's what my wife and I do and it works out wonderfully. I think the absentee ballots come a month before they're due (you can even drop them off at the polls on election day), so there's plenty of time to fill them in.
And of course you just have to have the latest Linux distro on the day of release. Can't wait a week for it to get distributed to the mirror sites now, can we?
The only thing Skype did wrong, which the summary doesn't mention but someone else did, is that they didn't include a copy of the GPL with the phone.
The court said including a website address to where the source could be downloaded wasn't good enough. I'd like to know why that wasn't good enough. Is it only because the text of the GPL wasn't included?
This doesn't look like a win for the GPL. This looks like a major pain in the ass. I didn't even know that distributing a copy of the GPL was a requirement. I've never read it fully, but I guess I just assumed that as long as you make the source code available, everything is fine.
Bull. We don't need more people sitting behind a keyboard ranting away threatening "REVOLUTION!" at every thing. What we need are people that aren't sitting behind keyboards and are actually doing something about the problem.
If you want to fix it, stop ranting on/. and get involved in your community. Otherwise, you're nothing more than another anonymous voice on the intraweb.
The problem isn't large population centers. The problem is large population centers that have a history of voting one way. If you get rid of the EC, then California, New York, and Florida will essentially be deciding the Presidential election. If any of those two go to one candidate, then it's game over. Those three states have such huge populations that historically vote one way.
The popular vote would essentially put all the power into the hands of 3 States. Thanks, but no thanks. I live in California and I'd rather not see the EC go away. If you think your rights are being trampled on right now, take away the EC. With almost no one to answer to in any other state, rights would disappear fast, and the socialists and communists in NY and Cali wouldn't have a single problem with it.
Because innovation rules the net, and any packet could be made to look like any content we want, the only way to tier the net is on an IP to IP bases, not packet to packet, and this would amount to a kind of internet segregation where those who want to/can afford to pay more, go faster. A network structured that way will either be ordered dismantled by the courts, or simply have few subscribers where there are other competitive offers.
This is already the case though. People who can afford 10 or 100 mbit links to the net, which go faster, pay more. People who can't (or don't want to) get 8 meg cable all the way down to 768k DSL. This system hasn't been dismantled by courts or had anything really done to it. There's no reason to. If you want a faster connection, you pay for it, period.
If you get new deadbolts after seeing your neighbor burying bodies then you're quite clearly doing the wrong thing (or at least the wrong thing at the wrong time). The appropriate action would be to first call the police, then arm yourself, then change the deadbolts. I might even take it a step further and attempt a citizens arrest.
No it wouldn't. None of these uses count as public performances, broadcasts or copies.
You can't usually display a copyrighted work in any of those situations anyway, even with fair use. Take a movie for example. Fair use says you can make a copy or watch it with your friends. However, it's illegal to take that movie to a large public venue and display it there. The only way you're legally allowed to do it is with the copyright holders permission. But those situations have nothing to do with fair use.
Unbelievable. As a parent, not only would I have turned off both machines, I would have no problem either 1) cutting power to the room or 2) forcefully removing the child from the machine. The machine would then be disconnected entirely and put in storage (for the 360) or be severely disabled (for the computer).
Why aren't you allowed to play right now? Because I said so. I am the parent, you are the child. Parents who actually argue with their children about a game are just asking for trouble. If it's a single player game and it can't be saved, pause it, turn off the tv, and go to bed (another poster mentioned this). That's what we did when I was a kid. We left the Nintendo running all night and into the next day. When we finished dinner the next night, we finished the game. I think that was the one and only time our parents compromised. They flat out turned it off more than once.
If you want to be with your own kind, go hang out with your friends IRL.
When you jump online, chances are you won't find a group of "your own kind" right away. Any random group will be made up of people from 12 to 50. I play DoD:S on one or two servers a lot and that's about the age range of the 20 or so people that play on the same server. Sometimes the kids get made fun of for a little bit when they're playing during the day and everyone else thinks they should be in school, but it doesn't last that long. And chances are, any cultural references you make will be understood by at least half the people playing.
It's generally quicker to have team members calling out the location of the enemy. It's even quicker when it's necessary to call out grenades or anything else that might be about to explode. I've noticed that it doesn't matter if a team is chatty or not. If all the players aren't focused on the same objective, you're going to lose either way.
Personally, I use voice chat for 99% of communications. The other one percent I use team only text chat where I don't want the other team to know what I'm telling team members.
