I looked at this, but it appeared really really out of date. Mozilla release official MSI packages, so you can generally alter the MSI using Orca to do much of what you need to do.
Was just having a discussion with the boss, in that what ever we do, we need to start changing the applications people use to things more cross platform. When it becomes feasible to change the underlying OS, then the change won't come as much of a shock to the users.
Depends on the vendor. If the business demands MS Exchange, then OWA in "Light Mode" is all you get in FF. It becomes very hard to justify a browser change if it's going to cost $$$ making a system supplied by $vendor that has a major business investment in it or even changing vendors when what comes with Windows "works" (term used very loosely there).
I prefer the "Best of Both Worlds" approach. Free to deploy our browser of choice and no fighting with vendors that will state that IEx is a requirement so bad luck.
It will also make pathways towards using more cross platform software, anything that can break the dependencies is a "Good Thing".
Enterprises support IE because it runs ActiveX controls. Until FF does this, it will not appear in desktop builds for the majority of Corporate America.
Get the best of both worlds, pretty trivial to add sites to the list of IE sites and it all happens automatically. Been building a plan to migrate to FF completely in my spare time. Build your own browser will make a huge difference as currently I'm relying on some custom scripts to make the app deployable and maintainable. It works, but I hate to admit that it just aint as easy as using the registry or belting links into the favourites folder. Unfortunately all the native text processing tools in windows suck, so managing things the *nix way just doesn't work!
Yeah, they are sneaky pricks. I got handed a "Free Relaxation Technique Session" at some show, thought well might as well take a look, as the ticket was pretty blank with nothing ominous on it, I rocked up, saw the Dianetics book and the logos, ripped up the ticket and sprinkled the paper on the table and walked away... Hang on that was actually relaxing, so maybe I did get my free Relaxation Session!
How much do you get paid an hour??? It really doesn't take that long to put a PC together. Personally I can't justify paying someone else to do something so trivial. Sure if your buying an Email machine any old Dell/IBM/HP etc box will do, but go find yourself a pre-built gaming rig... IME they are generally put together with crap parts and expensive. Mate of mine got one like this as he didn't want the fuss, ended up with a vid card that was passively cooled and the whole machine would like up during gaming unless he had a desk fan pointed at it and the side of the case pulled off. 8 Trips to the shop for warranty and no fault found...
I'll take my chances building one myself, it's hardly rocket science.
...don't have medical drills for that very purpose?
Small country towns aren't always as well equiped as the bigger cities (Maryborough has a population of about 7000). I'm not surprised that Dr Carson pulled this off, he's an incredibly skilled/gutsy Doctor. He actually delivered my little sister, who came out tangled in the umbilical cord and a nasty shade of blue, according to my father the proficiency he showed in the removal was nothing short of amazing.
SZ Series was my first experience with VAIO notebooks and will be the last. They are the biggest pieces of garbage under the sun. Light maybe, but very flimsy. The driver support is useless (XP shop still) and the actual usability was worse. Managed to convince the powers at be to go with the X300 range of Lenovo's and haven't looked back. Very nice bits of kit!
I dunno how that works, if I didn't want I wouldn't have had to drop to a terminal at all for the last couple of releases.
What's so hard about right clicking the network icon, selecting "edit connections" and pressing "Add" on the "Wired" tab? To me it takes less mouse clicks and far more intuitive than Windows...
Couldn't agree more, I've been using IceTV since 2006 and here's some stats since January 2008.
Title | Recorded | Last Recorded
TEN Digital | 188 | April 21 2009
7 Digital | 40 | April 20 2009

Sure there is a bit of a bias to Ten Digital as My partner enjoys Neighbours, but still I regularly missed recording/watching shows I might have otherwise watched if it appeared in my guide data. I also still watch a lot of LiveTV, so they really don't miss out on that much AD revenue.
Well IceTV to get around the previous ruling, IceTV only posted what could be "predicted" to be scheduled. So quite often you would see "Channel 9 and Affiliates only" or something similar. So what I meant was, I wonder when they will change from "Predicting" to doing what they do for all the other channels.
Yep, been using it for a few years now, got really tired of tweaking my grabber every couple of weeks when it broke or some provider changed the way they displayed information. IceTV has literally been, pay money, download grabber for MythTV, follow the basic instructions and leave it alone.
Wonder how long till they start populating the data properly?

Is it sad that I could hear the UT voice in my head when I read the subject? Oh the hours spent fragging on UT!

I mentioned this in a post above, but IE Tab is your friend.
Enterprises support IE because it runs ActiveX controls. Until FF does this, it will not appear in desktop builds for the majority of Corporate America.
Then they need to find: IE TAB

Yeah we administer AD using IDM. Everything gets done in eDir, which is much faster and less frustrating, then it flows onto AD automatically.
2nd'd, I too learnt the lesson the hard way. Hey a 9v doesn't hurt, how about phone wires bzzzt!
Choosing and Ordering: $96
Puting it together: $96

Here LMGTFY, found some interesting links, here's a standout Multiseat Linux - One computer, multiple monitors, mice, and keyboards Probably lots of other ways to do it as well.

Actually Canonical Close To $30M Critical Mass; Should Microsoft Worry? If anything, I'd say the spiral is going up, not down.

Why the hell not! :)
WinXP is a nice system and the best OS M$ has ever produced.
Not by me. The first tyme I used XP it froze while booting up, on a brand new PC. The best version of MS Windows I've used was NT4.
Falcon
**Shudder** NT4 **Shudder**
We used similar cameras to record our last road trip, several of the Road Houses we stopped were recorded by accident. Did get a good laugh from us.
Certainly save some space! I add 10 - 20 mins (sometimes more if it is following a show like "Rove Live). Not so bad now that I have 3 tuners.
Their website is atrocious, so very very busy.. glad I don't have to go there anymore Nine
