FYI
We're closing down our forums for about 30 minutes due to extremely high traffic. Our higher-capacity server is ready, and we will move to it in the next few days, which should prevent problems like this.
Thanks for your patience.
I just think that the new logo is pretty funny.. at first glance, It looks like Omega, or The End, or Death. ehheheh I can see the future of the company.. dot bomb.
Note that instead of steps 1-4, I simply type F:\ into any open Explorer window.
Click on 'Install'.
Quickly click again on 'Install'.
Drag the license agreement scrollbar to the bottom. Many new packages' installers require you to do this in order to sidestep some technicality in contract law.
Click 'I Agree'.
Click 'Next' to accept the default location.
Click 'Next' to accept the Typical installation.
Click the 'Use this program for BMP files' checkbox.
Click the 'Use this program for PCX files' checkbox.
Click the 'Use this program for PNG files' checkbox.
Look for a GIF checkbox. Fail to find it because of Unisys's discriminatory licensing policies. Give up.
Click the 'Use this program for JPG files' checkbox.
Click OK to finish.
Reset your double click speed dumbass.. that way you wouldnt waste extra steps on the lame "Quickly click again" steps which are just a copout becasue if its windows it must be evil. And you made your install on a WinXX box when the auther clearly states that most graphics people use macs.
if i had to guess, i would say that you're about 15 years old with lots of windows experience who thinks he knows everything about computers. don't worry though, knowledge comes with age.
Wrong.. 26, make a living working with windows, some linux and run 2 linux machines at home. And I know I don't know everything about computers. NO ONE DOES! Show me one person that knows EVERYTHING about computers, and I'll kiss my own ass.
Not that you care or anything, but a few years back, I was so anti-MS that I would ALWAYS suggest to the companies that I worked for that linux was the way to go for ANYTHING the company needed. Fast Forward a few years and now I don't CARE what fscking OS you use, just as long as it gets the job done, quickly and correctly.
just how clueless are you? for one, open source and free software have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
True they are not the exact same thing, but show me how many open source programs you have to pay for. And don't say RedHat Linux, or Suse, or Debian, because you don't HAVE to pay for them, you can download it. Show my EXAMPLES of OPEN SOURCE software that you can ONLY purchase.
also, 'dated' software is more typical of closed projects from a single company. why? because only their programmers can change it to make it better or more adapatable. with open projects, anyone in the world can make changes for adaptability.
I'll give you a few examples example, FreeCiv, Anything that Loki creates, Mozilla isn't even at a 1.0 release yet. What's IE at again? 5.5sp2? Get off your high horse.
Yea.. lets support antiquated CRAP and bloat the browser even more. Jesus, don't you want programs to evolve and get better (maybe not more stable, but better none-the-less) As long as we are on the subject of supporting older legacy systems, I want a version of netscape for my TANDY 1000 machine. Will that ever happen? No, why? Netscape is out of the browser business.. I guess they two learned that you can't have a business based on giving crap away for free. But alas, I forgot I'm talking to open source people who wouldn't pay for software because they can hudle together and make a free version of it, but by then, the product is so out dated that its' useless. (but then you'd demand microsfot support it. HA!)
"Being a security-conscious person, I try to stay updated with the latest service packs," he wrote. "Unfortunately, SP2 for IE 5.5 was a service pack with a hidden agenda. It may have had a security fix or two in it, but was also designed to remove non-Microsoft product compatibility."
But earlier in the article (cnet one)
Other popular software programs, including RealNetworks' RealPlayer, Adobe Systems' Acrobat Reader and Macromedia's Shockwave player, appear to work normally with the browser upgrades.
You mean that MS own's REAL, Adobe and Macromedia? So it disables quicktime, BFD... MS doesn't disable Quicktime on *nix so who cares! (yes I know that there is no IE for linux, but still.. IE for whatever flavor of *nux that it runs on doesn't support quicktime does it?) furthermore:
"Apple is aware of the compatibility issue between QuickTime and the beta of Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2, and we are working with Microsoft to resolve the issue," an Apple representative said in a statement. "There will be a fix for which more information will be made available shortly."
So before all of you anti-ms fsckers get all up in arms, read the damn story first. Apple is working WITH MS to fix it.
Its like when microsoft is mentioned on slashdot everyone goes nuts saying that MS is anti-(fill in the blank for whatever your supporting this week).
You dolt.. Movie film is a little bigger or equal to 35mm film, PROJECTED onto the screen. What do you think a movie theatre is a huge ass TV? All so you can get nowhere near a fp.
how about this (made a few changes to your script) (modified code at http://unearthed.com/email_codered.txt:
An analysis of our web server logs has shown that
Host: $host
on
IP address: $address
scanned us between ${targethour}:00 and ${targethour}:59 BST on $targetday of $month_name[$targetmonth] in a manner that suggests infection by a variant of the Code Red worm.
This is an automatic notification that makes an educated guess at email addresses of responsible parties. If you are not responsible for this host, please ignore this message and accept my apology for the waste of your time and bandwidth. If you do know who is responsible for this host, I would be grateful if you could pass this notification on to them.
If you are responsible for this host, you will probably want to patch it as soon as possible, as it is a severe security risk to your organisation.
If this is an ISP that sells DSL or Cable Modem access, please shut off the offending IP Address's access to the internet. This way they will call Technical Support and then you can advise them that they are infected with the Code Red Worm and they need to patch their system. A headache for the user, but a godsend for the unaffected.
Details of the procedure for patching the server can be found at:

Though you'd like this... AOL has been hit by the Code Red worm.. Its unconfirmed wether its version 1 or 2, but Warner Brothers in the US and UK networks are down. AHHAHAHAHAHAH AOL SUCKS!
the shift to looking for a partner is not at all surprising given the current market.
So it's ok for this place to blame market conditions for needing to find more partners/money whatever, but for companies that file for bankrupcy and die, for them to blame market conditions for thier death is 'silly'?
Slashdot. News for nerds. Double Standards for companies we like.
Point 2./ If you are connected to the Internet in any way NEVER replace your firewall with a cross over cable. Basically at that stage you have your pants around your ankles, are bent over, with a big "Do Me Now!!!!!" sign on your butt!
While the crossover cable was active I broke into slashdot and stole the source code and I'm selling it on eBay.. Just look for open source slashd code.
Ok.. so AOL wants to have AOL 6.0 bundled with WindowsXP, but AOL refuses to spend the cash on Exchange/Outlook for mail? IS it just me or is this really odd?
AOL Time/Warner: We want to go back 4 years in email/imap technology and use AOLMail for email because we don't want to spend the cash on Exchange Servers and Outlook clients.
BUT, we want AOL in WindowsXP and Internet Explorer as the web browser.
My question is, what's in it for Microsoft? Browser users? I guess the AOL sheep will use whatever is put in front of them..
I really dont get AOL Time/Warner. I think the higher ups are on crack.
Use the best tool for the job. I don't care what OS or if its open or closed source, just hte best tool for the job. AOL Time/Warner doesn't. AOL mail for crying out loud. Outlook kicks its ass.
My girlfriend works at Warner Bros, and because the "Don't want to pay the fees for Microsofts Exchange Server", which they have already purchased, they are being forced to use AOL Mail for email, iPlanet for groupware + another program that escapes me at this time. Yes, 3 seperate programs, just so they don;t have to pay for Outlook and Exchange. So, no more syncing to palm pilots (visor's and WinCE), plus the cost of retraining THE ENTIRE COMPANY to use three seperate applications. Pardon my french, but it's fucking stupid. AOL is fucking up TimeWarner. I dount if anyone did the cost of productivity and money lost in training and using these CRAPPY applications.
Okay, I fixed your quotes and incorrect punctuation.. I hate question marks all over the place..
Sorry... that's a Netscape problem.. (at least on Linux. I see that A lot).. since I don't USE Netscape unless in in Linux.. Someone replyied to my post in Netscape/Linux and [']'s turned into [?]'s..
Remember the testimony during the trial about companies who would abandon plans for products just on the rumor that Microsoft would be entering that market?
Companies that shouldn't have been in business in the first place... if you have a better product that works on the same OS.. why run away.. weak people.. thats all..
Why can't OEMs put Netscape on the machine with IE, and let the user decide? Because Microsoft bullied them not to, that's why. I've heard that IE is really a better browser; I haven't used it. But even if that were the case Microsoft wasn't willing to let the consumer decide on the merits of the software. Instead, they used their OS monopoly to take over the browser market as well.
The user still has a choice...they can download the software or get the CD if they choose to. I used to use Netscape all the time, because it was the supperiour product, but now, it's not. I use IE. One, load time is a LOT faster. I don't want to wait an extra 3-10 seconds for the browser to open.
Y'know, if you're going to try to allay criticism of the holes in your argument by taking one or two counterpositions, you could at least pick something factual for the counterposition. Linux has just begun in the last few years to run more of the Internet - to be specific, Unix and open source made the Internet what it is today.
Linux. Unix. Same difference. But yes you are correct, I should have said Unix. I made a boo boo.. happy?
I care because half of the intranet pages at work only display correctly in IE
And a part of the other half only work in Netscape. I will give you this though... IE is TERRIBLY SLOPPY when it comes to HTML Standards... forgot a </td>.. not a problem.. forgot a </table>.. not a problem. That part I really hate. Another reason why I would like MS to comply to STANDARDS. I'm in no way saying that MS has NO FAULT, we know that couldn't be further from the truth.
You say the APIs aren't totally closed. True enough. That would work against them. But they keep moving the target, because that way they can keep charging for classes and certification and new books. And their application programmers can stay one step ahead of the rest of the world.
Exactly why I said that MS need to be held responsible for when they modify standards. They also need to PUBLISH STANDARDS. Make the playing field more level. I'm in NO way saying that Microsoft should be left alone... FAR from it.. but breaking MS up will not change squat! Do you honestly think they won't cut a hush-hush deal between the two companies? Of course they will.. All I'm saying is that there need to be some sort of checks and balances on MS..

For the first year that I was at eToys, MySQL was the database. Then they moved to oracle for my second year there.
Economic Downturn! HA! We ALL know that's a huge load of crap..err.. what? we like BSD stuff? Damn Economic Downturn!
