  1. I tried this myself and.. on Dell Refunds Vista/Works With Two Emails · · Score: 1
    When I bought my laptop recently, I was told I *had* to have works with it. Of course, I really didn't want it but I got it anyway. Thanks to the article poster's success, I tried getting a refund today. This is the result:

    Thank you for reaching us at Dell Asia Pacific Customer Center (Dell APCC). I understand that you would like to exchange your Microsoft Works. Kindly note that the licensing policies differs by region and we are not able to comply to your request as this is an infringement of license agreement between Microsoft and Dell. Thank you for your kind understanding and have a nice day.
    I wonder what the licensing policy is... "We will force MS works down every customer's throat, whether they like it or not". Anyone want a free copy of Works?
  2. Re:Reads encrypted zip files on Gmail Messages Are Vulnerable To Interception · · Score: 1

    Encrypting a zip file only encrypts the data inside the files, not the filenames... so google can easily look at the file NAMES inside the zip, just not what they contain. Solution: use rar or any one of the 10+ better archivers than zip

  3. Re:Uninstall first! on Is Firefox 1.0 Less Stable than Firefox PR1.0? · · Score: 1

    Definitely, I had all sorts of problems because I was installing nightly builds without uninstalling the old versions first. When I uninstalled firefox and did a clean reinstall, everything worked perfectly and has continued to do so ever since. I don't recall a single crash.
