Yes, they expect you to have bought the ms office package.
Ever so often, I see a website where people put documents online in the ms office format, and I do everything possible to avoid dealing with the company in question. When they do that, there's something they have not understood about the internet which is important to me.
Don't be such a troll.
I don't know if you have ever worked with end user support. I have seen so many crashed word documents where a restore was the only possibility that this problem had it's own number in our user support registration system.
I go past a store every day that sell this phone, I have played with it a bit and the 384kbps video stream / internet connection really makes it a fun plaything. But since the mobile phone company we use at work does not support this standard yet, I guess I will have to do without. There's no way I pay the price for that bandwidth myself. On the other hand, the geek in me would love to have what compares to a slow ADSL, only mobile.
Try to be a domain owner, about 48 hours after registering a domain, the first 4-8 spam messages pr. day arrives from Japan to the email in the contact info. It is hell if you are forced to have email adr. available for harvesters and your company does not have any spam filters.
no, I couldn't care less about the money. I looked at their site and saw that I had to pay for a licence to run their os. But where I live, the site told me that I could not order the license online, only the download part so I had no choice but to do it this way. Had the same problem when buying software online from IBM. Needed that Notes sync software for my PDA. They only accepted US addresses, but since it was only 25$ I just ordered it online for download, and found a random US address with postal number and proceeded to download.
I might not be clear from what I wrote, but I contacted our usual sun reseller and when then were unable to help me in the timeframe I had, I contacted Sun, hoping to be able to talk to someone who would just sell me the damd license. But instead I got to talk with a lot of people redirecting me to other people and back to the reseller in the end.
it was not just their support line, it was also the people answering the phones in the first place, the reseller. All I wanted was to get the software and I was willing to pay for it, yet everyone I was talking to was giving me problems. I talked to our usual reseller who sells sun, when they seemed to have problems delivering it to me, i called sun directly only to spend hours still getting nowhere.
I needed a Solaris on Intel for a project. Tried to fight it but to no avail..
So I called the reseller and wanted to order a licence. Won't go into detail on how long it took them to get a pricetag for it.. think weeks.
I checked out their website and saw I could download it for 20$ online, but i would still need a license.
So I waited almost 2 months for it. When it arrived, I got a big box filled up with that annoying shock absorbing stuff and a piece of paper which were the license, but no CDs or anything just a big empty box.
So I called Sun and got tossed around in their phone system and they managed to hang up on me 3 times. The fourth time I managed to get through to a hotline or something and I was told that Solaris for Intel was free. "oh" I said, "your reseller has just sold me a license for 500$"... oh well "Now how do I get the
software?", I was then told that I could order it or download it from their site for 20$. Damn I didn't want to do that online ordering since I had to use my own creditcard and didn't want to go though the paperwork to get a refund for 20$ from the company, but after waiting almost 2 months now I needed the software and bought a download ticket.
This was my first expirence with Sun and hopefully my last. I would have expected a better service and that they would at least act like they were interested in selling something. Other people in the company have after all bought their SunFire 12k boxes for other projects.
It is clear that Solaris on Intel has little or no focus at Sun which also shows when trying to install it. It is easier to find hardware to install FreeBSD or any other BSD on than Solaris. And installing any Linux dist. is a breeze compared to Solaris. I'd say you really gotta LOVE Solaris if you want to run other than the Sparc version on Sun hardware.
I think the key word here must be parents. parents having a highspeed internet line and getting a webcam software to work sounds like a nightmare, if not for getting it to work the for all the support afterwards.
This money cannot be charged back to the customer.
True, I know that's what they say, but I have never fully understood it. Even though it may not appear on the bill, it will always be the customer paying it in the end, I guess it just gets included in the costs running the store, which affects the price of course.
I don't know, isn't it a "traditional" mail sender/relay? Most spam these days comes via open proxies etc. A spammer operating with his own mail server like SenderBase would be blocked by all anti-spam lists fast and would not be effective for long.
And lets not forget proper uses for the box. I sure would like an appliance box for handling the daily newsletters and etc. Sure it's fun to sit and tweak Postfix on a Linux box but if you were to setup a new system it might not be cheaper to build an entire system yourself, with the tuning, tweaking and scriptwriting, and the following maintainance like updates fixes etc.
I heard about this image a couple of months ago from some camera nut I know. I never saw it or knew that is was on a website, so is this a new picture or has the date in the top just been updated?
that I have on my ADSL, so I am happy that I am not living there.
Some ISP's have blocked port 25 on ADSL connections. But I would rather prefer if it was open and then they should be more than welcome to block it if people started to send spam. and charge 100$ to open it again.
Not many(none?), the internet is non-existent to the average citizen. At least that is what all news sources says. It sounds about right, it would be impossible for the current "leader" to maintain the powerful grip with no control over the flow of information.
I can only hope that MS doesn't insert some nastiness into the NTFS.SYS that would prevent it from running inside the framework described in TFA.
History has shown that they will do that if it becomes a competition to them. But I can't, with my limited imagination, see this happen in this case.
I have co-workers who are located in different buildings. So IM is great here. You can see if people are at their desk. it's somewhere in between a phone call and a email. Like whats that perl script you've got running on server X, it's eating up all resources! I just talk to them on IM instead of calling. but I can't wait for them to answer the email. and when you DO need to call somone, I always check IM first to see if they are at their PC.
True, you can play it alone but it really is best played with more than one player. I could imagine the auctions would be hell on a PDA. I just love to tease desperate buyers.:)
I've got it on my Nokia 7650. installed and run without any problems. Tested at couple of games and everything looked fine, even the old decompressing flashy screens. It sometimes however slowed a bit down when doing music.

I guess they could save a lot of storage space, bandwidth, and machines power at Hotmail, if they could limit the spam.
..It would be the best optimization next to switching to FreeBSD.. [rimshot]

Don't you think that thy just might use the names of ships etc for the names of their servers.
Screw that, I am waiting for Team Fortress 2.
A bit thin article, not much insight

That's just because every attempt to root it, always results in a bluescreen

So while we wait for some great games to make proper use of DX9, we can dream of games on DX10 and only dream of the wonders of DX11.
i remember the good old days where a single CD-ROM did cost 10$ and a bounci-bounci was one dollah.
