  1. Re:Since when can software only be installed by ow on Blackberry "Spy" Software Released · · Score: 1

    ON the former, I had to actually look in Options | Applications to verify that I indeed received the patch. On the Latter, I doubled checked and you are correct that it is a new Icon that invokes the BB Browser.

  2. Re:Since when can software only be installed by ow on Blackberry "Spy" Software Released · · Score: 1

    Most software and patches can be installed silently and remotely to a BlackBerry Device either from the corporate BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) or from the Cell Carrier. The Daylight Savings Time (DST) patch was installed by our BES Administrator to all BlackBerry users and Nextel installed a new GPS product onto all BlackBerrys using them as a carrier.

    The only action on my part was to turn the BlackBerry on.

    This is true. Retailers also rather not take the chance on hiring someone with poor credit or a recent bankruptcy.

    USD 1 Billion is used to signify One Billion United States Dollars $1,000,000,000 or $1 Billion is simply one billion dollars and could just as easily be Canadian Dollars as well as US Dollars.

    Well, all you need now is a laptop with Bluetooth and the know-how. Isn't that just as easy? I see it now, Java Applets on my BlueTooth enabled BlackBerry called Open Car Door and Start Engine

    Please tell me how the heck did you manage to copy the wab32.dll & wab32res.dll to the \Windows\System32 from the \Program Files\Common Files\System? Vista kept the whole \Windows\ Directory and Sub-Directories locked tight even logged in with FULL ADMIN RIGHTS! It was the first thing we installed the poor guys new laptop, so it was from the factory pristine.

    I guess Installing from the Install CD is the wrong thing to do even though it works just find when installing Office 2000, 2002 (XP) & 2003 in Windows 2000 and XP. In fact, we ended up removing Office 2000 and installing Office 2003, from the Install CD and it worked just fine, thank-you very much.

    I take it you have Vista at your Job were you can customize its configuration to let you do these things that I couldn't on a friends pre-installed consumer version of Vista.

  9. Re:This is one aspect in which I agree with Micros on Working Around Vista Apps' Incompatibilities · · Score: 1

    PATCH THE APPS. Distribute or make downloadable the patches and upgrades necessary to make it happen. Hell, it could be a quality way for Microsoft to improve their relationship with vendors of all types. They'll spend the money anyway.

    That makes way too much sense, so it's highly unlikely that Microsoft will do that.
  10. Broken Apps on Working Around Vista Apps' Incompatibilities · · Score: 4, Informative
    Vista won't even recognize older Microsoft Apps, like Office 2000, as a legitimate application. After finally getting installed, after a hundred Cancel or Allow pop-up boxes, Outlook was still broken. The fix offered at the MSDN Tech board didn't work, Vista wouldn't allow me to do it.


    Even if it did, every time Outlook was started, it wanted to do its final install and first run configuration. Same with the other Office Apps as well.


    Vista = Forced Obsolescence.

    I agree with the spirit of this comment. As part of Generation X, Web Forums and other Web-log precursors were the only voice that we had to espouse or ideals and that we were not a bunch of drugged out losers as depicted by the "traditional" Mass Media in the early nineties.

    So who was really being nasty and uncivil?

  22. Re:Flamebait? on YouTube Stays Relevant Despite Pulled Content · · Score: 1
    I have to chirp in and agree with you on some parts.

    I remember a particular case at a school I worked at. A Physical Education teacher was Administratively reassigned to my area then was not reappointed. He chased a student around the Football field kicking him in the ass in response to the Student yanking the Teacher's shorts down.

    The student got a few days in In School Suspension.

    Conversely;

    At the same school, a different Physical Education teacher was in a portable teaching Health. He had such great classroom control that he pulled out a Starter Pistol and fired it at an unruly student.

    The moral of these stories is that Teachers are supposed to be Professionals. When their behaviour mimics that of the very students that they are supposed to be in control of, then they are a stain on society as much as these kids of pathetic parents.

    The camera in the classroom is good not only for protection, but accountability on both sides. Like it or not, teachers and parents are role models, each accepted that responsibility when each became one. Now stop whining and live up to the job.

    Yes, there is still poorly written software written in this day and age.

    Glencoe Textbook Software, especially the Test Generator ©2004, insist on copying a DLL file from its own directory on the Root of C: (This location is hard coded into the software) into the \%system%\ directory everytime it runs. With-out Admin rights, it is unsuccesful ergo it will not run. (It doesn't matter that the DLL is already there.)

    MediaMax DRM generates an error if you do not have Admin Rights. You'll get this error even if you run once as Admin then try to run again as a Power User. Since you can't install/update/run the DRM, the CD will not play. There is a work-around, but to me it is not worth it. This is just another reason to not buy BMG products.
