If I had a million dollars we wouldn't have to eat Kraft dinner
"But we would eat Kraft dinner."
"Of course we would, we'd just eat more."
"And buy really expensive ketchups with it."
"That's right, all the fanciest Dijon ketchups."
Many ISPs have a (Windows only) quick setup disk, which communicates with the modem/router and sets the username and password for you. Usually you can get around this by going to the IP of the modem in a browser, logging in with the default information and set it yourself.
I suspect that, as she believes that MSWord is the only way to type up documents, she wouldn't know how to do this. Rather than ask someone with a brain, she's gone all media on us.
Windows has this kind of customer as well. There's not a lot you can do about it...
Using the castle wall analogy, the wall isn't intended to stop you from being attacked, it's intended to stop you from being swamped when you are attacked.
Nonsense. I started constructing castle walls at the basement door with my peanut butter and jelly crusts last summer, and haven't been attacked even once!
I think it takes up more than that? I installed it yesterday on a dedicated partition and it's using 6.7gb. Haven't installed anything else substantial to the partition. Mostly just added a few junctions to program appdata stuff on my XP partition.
Windows folder itself is over 8.1 gb (yes I see the numbers don't match, but that's what it says, checked it twice... maybe it's counting symlinks twice).
That's weird. Windows XP works the other way. On an 80GB drive, Windows XP could tell you that there's 50GB free, but the total size of the files and folders on the disk is only 18GB.
If you don't have permissions to access system protected files (such as the System Restore folders), it won't give you the size of the contents.
It makes sense, but it makes some things more difficult...
I wish they'd fix this usability flaw already. If you use FF/Greasemonkey, you can use the script in my.sig to help prevent it.
It's really just a stopgap though.
Dear CmdrTaco: I'm no html/js expert, but I fixed the issue in a couple of hours. Feel free to copy my code if you can't figure out how to do it yourself.
I have customers who have bought laptops with Vista, and regretted it. Going back to the Windows Classic theme has increased GUI responsiveness on every single one, no exceptions.
Actually, we can use the differences to out advantage. Whoever is smart enough to fill the forms out correctly obviously isn't human, and therefore should be blocked.
The issue here is that websites might decide they prefer the intelligent discussion that you get from bots to the discussion you get from real users.
Option #1:
<bot1> Grow your penix! Make the ladies swoon!
<bot2> Genuine fake Rolexes, at discount prices!
<bot3> Good day to you my frend. I relise this message may come a sa surprise too you, but I am in true, a prince of a small provence of Nigeria...
Option #2:
<4chan user1> Check out this pic! So ugly!
<4chan user2> I bet you hit that every night! Get some man-love!
<4chan user3> Dude, that's his mom. So you're probably right...

I don't know. The mods are on crack again. Just go with the flow.
In fact, parent and I are both losing karma for this. We are getting modded up Funny (+0 Karma), and then getting modded down (-1 Redundant/Flamebait/Troll). So even though the resultant post scores are high, we are actually going backwards.
Sad to read this. Have had several Abit mobos in the past, always good quality reliable boards.
I had a BE6 R2, which was, at the time, the best overclocking board around. I have no complaints - attached to my Celeron 466, it was beautifully stable at 525, and lasted about half an hour at 581 with the stock HSF. I still have it lying around somewhere.
The only thing I didn't like about it was having to load the Highpoint IDE drivers off a floppy for XP...
I started BASIC (C64 and Apple) at 10 or 11 years old (the first time I really had access to a computer AND a book describing BASIC programming). I often wonder when I would have started if I had had access at an earlier age...
More importantly, I think the government has no right to tell us what we are and are not allowed to take into our own bodies.
And here's where you (and a lot of drug users) are wrong. Unless there is something in the constitution that says that the government specifically gives up that right, it has it. The government grants you rights, not the other way around.

If I hit the lottery I'd still buy their stuff, and of course Kraft mac'n'cheese.
You aren't the only one....

I think drewzhrodague is allowing for wifi. Of course, the only way to guarantee 6 inches of air will block wifi is a product demonstration...

Either way, please fix it.

I was going to say the same thing about /. dupes...
Actually, it doesn't say anywhere that it applies to 10.5.0. It says 10.5. - three times, it says that, in fact.
The question then becomes whether you can legally construe the registration for the major version to apply to the minor versions as well.
We need to grow smarter users.

Do you happen to use Debian by any chance? It may only take 4 or 5 tries...
;)
That means that you haven't been attacked by a portscanning bot yet.
That or they got the password right...

Meh, I have karma to burn

I wish I had a mod point for you...
It also has a bit to do with your search history... *cough*
At the end of the day, putting Scientology and stupid together isn't much of a stretch...
It is common knowledge that this is only because breath mints are difficult to find in the Himalayas.
I don't get how they actually got the name. Did it have a label on it when they found it? Did they ask it what its name is?
Seems to me that that should read "Now, a US research team has discovered a sixth region, and have called it the warm plasma cloak."
The reason that nobody Rs TFA is because the answers are so bleeding obvious.
It has nothing to do with O2 - the deaths are caused by Yetis.
Like many guard dogs, they will happily let you onto the property. They just don't let you back out again.
Yeah, I hate that. Why can we not have a "Confirm" button?

It doesn't much like 150MB SQL dumps, I'll tell you that...

I regularly have 25-30 tabs open at a time. What are you trying to say?
