  1. Re:Another Get Firefox day coming soon... on IE7 to be Pushed to Users Via Windows Update · · Score: 0

    I have similar needs, but I use the Google Sysnc application which remembers all my tabs and opens Firefox in exactly the same fashion. Plus you can selectively choose the tabs/windows you want to open so that your intranet stuff does not bother you from your home computer.

    Lol, a rabid fanboy who is also statistically challenged.

    Moron, the foot refers the length of the ball which is a foot long :-)

  4. Re:Copying Dashboard on Google Adds Widgets to Homepage · · Score: 0

    Because, moron, there are people who work from different computers and would like to take their widgets with them when they travel :-) yes because who wants to just press a button and have all their widgets instantly fade in? we want to have to open a compatible web browser, load the page, look up all the widgets, download the data... can someone give me an example of a widget that is better in this way because being used to Apple's Dashboard widgets and using them many times every day it's hard for me to imagine why you would want them to be "...on the internet" except for their obviously patentable new nature.

    Good points - Lets hope they have their backups in a different location.

    Dude, losing a datacenter is more than a minor inconvenience, even for a school. Think credit card numbers, transcripts, etc. My question was that if someone takes the trouble to build out a new datacebntenter, why do it in such proximity? We just completed building out a third datacenter (I work for a Fortune 10 company)and one of they key considerations in deciding the location was geographical separation.

    Why in the world would anyone want to build their data centers 1.4 miles apart? Any decent Entreprise DR (Disaster Recovery) plan provides for Data Centers to be located logically as well as physically apart.

    According to the NCES stats, the hisghest enrollment among any University in the country is 57K. Apparently your University has at least 15,000 zombie students that you might want to purge from your highly redundant data centers 1.4 miles apart. Moron!!
    Let me preface this by saying I'm the Enterprise IT Manager for a large, Big-10 University. "Enterprise" means I am responsible for all servers that run the University, not just a small department. My userbase is 70,000+ students, and somewhere between 15,000-20,000 faculty and staff.

    Actually, considering the problems Mercedes has been having these days, yes I would pity you. Especially since as a neighbour I would be looking at your Mercedes from a Gold colored Lexus GX 470 :-) If I were your neighbor and drove into my driveway in a brand new Mercedes, would you pity me? Mercedes-Benz has about the same market share in autos as Apple has in personal computers. They also make similar profit margins. Just because I have a better computer than you have doesn't make my comment less worthy.

    I've been using Paypal since 1998. As a seller and a buyer. I also have my iTunes account hooked up to it, and also use their ATM/debit/Mastercard. Transaction amounts have ranged from as little as $1.00 to as high as a couple thousand for a laptop. You are a liar - PayPal started in 1999, and did not catch on till 2000. Fukkin shill :-) http://searchviews.com/archives/2005/06/google_wal let_e.php

    Yes, the do believe that the convergence war will be won by Microsoft. I love my 6315 and my Axim - way better devices than the Treo or any Palm based product - IMHO.

    but English has evolved and degenerated so much that in fact there are now at least two english languages: American english and British english, with different spelling and grammar rules LOL - Thats why I have to use a dictionary when I visit London these days. Your dual citizenship has alos doubled your stupidity :-)

  16. Re:Word Perfect for Windows was horrible on Novell vs. Microsoft, Again · · Score: 1

    I have very little idea about WordPerfect since I have never used it. But I did work in the same buildings you mention above during 1999-2000 and must admit that WordPerfect treated their employees fabulously. 2 to a room, superb conference rooms, and almost everyone had large picture windows. I almost wonder how you guys got anything done - I know I did'nt :-)
