  1. Re:Bought some books... on The Art of The Farewell Email · · Score: 1

    That book seems to have brought him bad luck though. What's his point, spreading the love around?

  2. Re:Registry hack on Homemade PDF Patch Beats Adobe By Two Weeks · · Score: 4, Informative

    For myself I just used the REG.exe located inside the %system32% folder. in your logon script (assuming you have one), just add in the lines

    REG add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\JSPrefs" /v bConsoleOpen /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

    REG add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\JSPrefs" /v bEnableGlobalSecurity /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

    REG add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\JSPrefs" /v bEnableJS /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

    REG add "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\JSPrefs" /v bEnableMenuItems /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

    YMMV. REG.exe is not included on Windows 2000. Because this applies to the current user registry there should be no permissions issue. And make sure your path does include the system32 directory as by default.

    Seeing as this is a 1-way trip, sure he's spent 1 minute sampling the water, but what's he going to do with the rest of his life?

  4. Re:Not so hippocritical on Ballmer Pleads For Openness To Compete With Apple · · Score: 0, Troll

    Whereas you can sync your iPhone to an Exchange server perfectly, (and indeed even the address lookup works better on the iPhone than on a wm6 device), you can't sync a windows mobile device to Mail.app or anything. Makes you go "hmmmm"...

  5. Re:What scares me most on Pirate Bay Day 5 — Prosecution Tries To Sneak In Evidence · · Score: 2, Informative

    If the current administration believes that Sweden needs new draconian surveillance laws, and the general public does not agree, then wouldn't it be prudent to vote against the incumbent party? And who would there be to vote for? This is why any attack on the status quo needs to be both legal and political, so as to give the opponent no place to turn to. Under no circumstances throw the case, instead let them escalate it to the polls.

    I knew it! It's a conspiracy! Every link referring to precedence is from wikipedia!

    Me, I would have given her a call. If we're lucky it might even have been set to vibrate.

    Then get a treo, they're still on sale. Or a HP hw6915. Or a berry. All good stuff, all still there. Windows Mobile developers even know now to program for square screens as well as rectangular ones.

  9. Re:That's not how this system works on Half the Charges Against Pirate Bay Dropped · · Score: 1

    Nevertheless you have to admit that is case is very much political in nature - American politics more than Swedish though.

    You forgot the fertilizer. That's another missing part of the equation. aka "No Shit, Einstein!"

  11. Re:But will this work in your company? on How Google Decides To Cancel a Project · · Score: 1

    Vista's UAC was built on what the Internet community "likes", to use that term in the broadest way possible. People wanted security, they wanted some level of protection from accidentally hosing a machine. However it turned out that there was a huge gap between what the internet wanted and what users in general wanted in the first place. UAC is hideous by anyone's standard.

  12. Re:Where did you get XP from... on MS To Offer Free Windows 7 Upgrade To Vista Users · · Score: 1

    Nevertheless you should check if you have XP installed on a Vista Business License, a lot of computers have that nowadays.

  13. Re:Service Packs on MS To Offer Free Windows 7 Upgrade To Vista Users · · Score: 1

    Service packs have a way of drying up once the next product is out though. The exception being XP SP3.

    What would be interesting is if Cisco starts aggressively selling and marketing an "internet communications device" under the iPhone name.

    Many of the personal restrictions you mentioned are actually there to protect you, you know. Keep you from being blackjacked off the street, your neighborhood from being burned to the ground, your personal self from being ripped off, falling sick from what you eat, walking into a building only to have it collapse on you...
