I remember Symantec had some Install/Uninstall tools sometime back. I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to merge their AV and the installer. Just what I want, something like NAV grafted into MS Installer. Good luck getting the application vendors to play with it.
It may not be hard to teach, but how many of them want to learn. It's only a computer. Microsoft makes it user friendly, so why do I have to learn all this extra stuff. I just want to use 'The Internet.'
Once you lower the bar, there's no raising it back up again.
Why use your own machine? Use their demo machines. Ask one of the helpful sales staff if he can sell you a machine that can play your presentation. And make sure the speakers are good and loud.
IntelliCAD was made by Visio. When Microsoft bought Visio, IntelliCAD disappeared. This was around the time Autodesk dropped support for other OSs and embraced Microsoft platforms.
Try the mining industry on Australia's east coast. The west coast is all Microstation. These are all contract requirements from the client. Industry standard means it's standard across the industry, not that a standards body has anointed it. AS1100 may have had some AutoCAD specific references but it's been many years since I've had to look.
Some of that was fixed with Microstation 8. Conversion that looks mostly right is not too bad. Wait till you get spec fascists with automated checking tools trying to make sure that every element is the one true color, type, level and son on. We could spend an hour converting a DWG to DGN that was perfectly usable for manufacture, but to get it compliant we almost had to redraw the stupid thing.
There's at least one structural package that people prefer the cracked version of. The damn thing checks the dongle before every command so the cracked version runs a lot faster.
Microsoft kept sending us stuff about 'Software Asset Management,' and how we should protect our software assets. I wanted to call them up and ask them if we could on-sell, rent or give away our software like any other asset.
Bad flashback. We had accountants/ auditors who made us depreciate annual maintenance over four years just like software. It drove me nuts having to explain that annual maintenance was only good for a year.
They stopped using dongles during R14 which was about 1998. R14 needed a dongle as well as a code from AutoDesk. They went to pure software licensing on R15 (Acad 2000.)
A lot of places liked the dongles because license management was easy. They got passed around when needed.
Funny side story, one of our offices got burgled. They unplugged all of the connectors from the back of the machine including an AutoCAD dongle. They took the box and a 40 kg monitor but left the most expensive item on the desk.
Corporate ADD: build something cool then forget about it. It's better than an endless line of mediocre sequels. Actually, I could go for a nice space sim about now.
Everybody remembers Battletech and Shadowrun but I was hoping FASA Interactive would produce more for Crimson Skies. It was the usual Fasa game: a really cool, well developed background and a clunky, heavy rules system. The first computer games was pretty good, but I was hoping for more. There were even rumors of a movie, but I doubt this will happen.
The Order of the Phoenix game is often compared to Bully, as in "It's like Bully, but at Hogwarts." In other words, a big sanbox with some quests thrown in. This whole 'article' sounds like someone doesn't get it.
Well, looking at two of threads in question, the moderators of the forum were removing some posts all along. The reasons supplied included mention of personal attacks. This would seem to preclude an ignorance defense.
At the same time people claiming to be the heads of support and sales for the company were participating in the discussion. This indicates that they've known about this the whole time.
Slashdot Mirror
It's almost like the had Agent 86 running the joint, but even he had more brains. The board was meeting under the cone of silence.

Fiber and copper. Let's see how vendors screw this one up. USB 1, 1.1, 1.?, ?.?, 2, 2.75, 3...

Well you should start DOSing it. You should also report the owner to their ISP. They might cut it off until it's fixed.
Also check to see if he's sharing any porn. You never know. You might have similar tastes.
People bought the 486SX. Heck, how many people know what's in their machine. No, slashdot is not an acceptable sample.
Piracy is worse than cannibalism. :(

If the hinge problem persists with Windows it wasn't an OS problem.
My first thought was that he ran over the extension lead.

Turn it off? If you're the man in the middle you should embrace it and extend it to your needs.
MS is probably using https and the rest that makes caching these things difficult.

... or company decision makers who've asked us about ISPs for home. I've sent at least two MDs and one financial controller there for information.
