Ya, I tried that before. Sure, I can install the update manually and it reports back a success. However, later on I get dialog box stating that I still need to have it installed. When I let it, I get the same crap message of it failing.
Whatever, I'll just wait till MS re-releases a fix. In the mean time, I've left this pending patch unchecked.
You sure it's not related to patch KB935807? On three seperate computers running Vista, I could not get this patch to install. It would try to install, then after a reboot or two, it would report back its status as failing. After doing a quick google search, I soon found out that I'm not alone!
And yes, I've tried downloading the patch file and installing manually. No go.
I remember saying in a post on this site maybe 7 or 8 years ago that they would ultimately destroy the industry rather than give up control. Putting all the internet radio stations out of business is a scorched earth move...
Agreed.
Scorched earth is good! The whole damn industry is rotten to the core. But like scorched earth, eventually life returns stronger than ever with a fresh clean start to populate it. So too shall the music industry rise from the ashes like a phoenix.
They no longer need to actually attack to distrup the lives of hundreds of thousands, the mere mention of the possibility of an attack or even a new attack vector is enough...
True enough. That doesn't mean we should wash our hands of the issue however. Sure, these terrorists have won battles in the past, and no doubt to continue to do so in the future. But this doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to be on the overall winning side of his war and struggle against dark and sadistic ideologies.
Some would simply like to compare terrorism to just another natural event like hurricanes and traffic fatalities. That is to say, it's inevitable and there is nothing we can do to curb the problem. That might be well and true. But know this, with terrorism, the stakes are much higher. We've already seen what it does socially and economically post 911, and we're seeing the near fall of Iraq from al-qaeda insurgancy. It doesn't take much imagination to foresee the potential ramifications. As such, terrorism is something we much take very seriously. I do, and I hope the Slashdot community does as well.
My brother-in-law got one, and it's badass! Not only is the phone beautiful, but very well constructed. The amazing part is how friggin easy it is to use regardless of the fact it's packed with features and gizmos.
I *really* want one for myself. But damn, i'm stuck with Verizon (though they do have the best network):(
With this new scheduler, I'd better expect a very responsive GUI with silky smooth motion. Unless however, the KDE or Gnome is the limitation in this area.
A few of my customers located in Pasadena, TX also had an outtage on that day (June 29). I was able to contact tech support through the business class support (as that was they account they have). Turns out their LDAP servers bombed out from the switch over. We've also experienced some strange DNS issues too. I suppose it was to be expected honestly. A switch over isn't always going to be flawless. Good news however, our customers and myself haven't noticed any more issues after that day.
Those of us living in Houston, TX should keep a sharp eye on Comcast. We used to have Time Warner, but this month the entire network has been switched over to Comcast. The before and after service analysis will be interesting.
Again, keep a sharp eye open. We can't miss this opportunity.
I blows me away how Sony missed out on the opportunity to use the MD format for data storage. It could have been the perfect 3 1/2 floppy drive replacement. How aggravating that they wasted the chance!
If a 17-year-old gets punished for having sex with a 15-year-old, it's a gross injustice, but when adults look at images of naked 15-year-olds they're loathsome basement rock spiders that need therapy? That is a completely absurd double standard!
No it's not. The wider the age gap, the more implicit authority the elder has over the younger. Psychology 101 would teach you this.
Even "real" pedophiles (attracted to pre-pubescent children) aren't harming anyone just by looking at child porn.
If it's virtual kiddie porn, I would tend to agree. That said however, your still not providing pedophiles the professional help they need. Giving them more of this garbage would be equivalent to giving a crack addict another rock to smoke. It's a quick "fix", but doesn't solve the issue.
On the other hand, if you mean real kiddie porn; you're delusional! This crap wouldn't be so widely available had it not be so profitable. When pedophiles seek out the real stuff, they're encouraging this industry. And yes, it IS an industry. A very nasty, evil industry!!!
I for one am GLAD they're spending cheaply for this pork barrel project.
I guess they spent all our money on Iraq. Almost a trillion dollars worth of it.
Yes, it sucks ass. But that's the price of being Human. Waging war and preventing it have always been part of our race's legacy. On the other hand, think of all the technology that has resulted because of war. Aside from loss of life and human suffering (not to be taken lightly of course), war isn't such a bad thing after all in the grand scheme of things so long as we put this technology to greater use.
Sometime in October 2001, someone overseas donated 2 grand to some 9-11 fund (Red Cross I think) and purchased ten Palm Pilots using my CC account. Interestingly, this happened a week after purchasing an auto part overseas.
Obviously, I must be a stereo typical "Rich American" in there eyes. If only that were true... None the less, I will NEVER give out my personal information via phone or online to someone overseas. I've been burned once already, I'm not about to be burned a second time.
Incarceration doesn't provide anything good except to keep the offender from harming others. For non-violent criminal activity, we should submit them to community service. This accomplishes three things.
1st, it's humiliating. 2nd, it keeps them from leaching our tax dollars. 3rd , it provides something productive for both the criminal and society.
Most important overall, it teaches a lessen you wouldn't forget. If your set to rot in jail however, it becomes a non-reforming way of life and ultimately punishes society as a whole.
Ahh...another clueless European that doesn't know jack about American government. Do yourself a favor and read about the Legislative, Judicial, and Executive Branches. You'll quickly find out that the president doesn't have the kind of power you THINK he has.
But as long as we're bashing Bush, who cares right?
Day Traders would agree...if they weren't so busy chasing each others tails. The vector to gaining the swarms attention is money, and lots of it all at once!
Not only would you be executed, but your immediate family and relatives would be killed as a lesson to others. Unluckier still, get sent to a concentration camp.
I know the parent was trying to be funny, but N. Korea is truely hell on earth!
Big Oil is the world's largest price-fixing cartel
I guess I'm part of the cartel then, because I personally own stock in Big Oil. I'm not alone, millions of other citizens own stock too.
Also, oil is fungible because the market is global. It's all about selling the black substance to the highest bidder. And guess what! Each time you fill up your gas tank, or purchase a new TV made out of plastics, your collectively BIDDING on the price of the product. That's right, as an American, my purchase is in direct competition to the Chinese and Europians.
Oh damn, I just explained capitalism again haven't I? >:-p

Yes.
Download the latest BIOS for your motherboard or PC vendor (Dell, HP...etc). This will contain updated microcode.

Which is why I would never have a MySpace.com account.
Brings new meaning to a "floater".

Would the brain classify as a swarm of neurons?
I'm suprised Herzog Zwei or Star Control didn't make the list.
No, but the user sufferx when they have to upgrade the CPU and RAM just to handle the code bloated protection. Without it, their machine is 0wned.
Pick your poison indeed!
Correct.

Just wait till Microsoft releases the "Z-Phone". Yup, a Zune Phone.

Yes, I'm cranking on the rumor mill...
