If she found the same info in the lonley hearts in the newspaper would she sue that paper? Of course not as they would take her to the cleaners by exposing her on the front page (well the british papers would). What about if you met someone in a nighyclub and same thing happened...
I've been using Joker for a number of years and had nothing but good service, polite staff and decent prices and then someone goes along and DDOS them. Hope they get back on their feet soon. Then again there is no such thing as bad publicity
As other comments have said it does seem you are doing this for the sake of doing it. As much as people on this site might bash Windows it does one thing very well (in most cases) and that for non-power users it just works. You install it, install the drivers, download a lot of patches but then it will just run and people can open Word and be happy. Want remote admin? Install VNC
...people will just have to twist their ways until it fits. "To open the CD-Rom you just have to press ALT+E+P with you hands then Num Lock with your nose and it will eject"
Thats what accountants and marketing people are for rather than us techies. I'm sure they will come up with something new that will once again raise the bar
99% of people just use the basic math functions and graphs of Excel. Basic layout in Word. All which can be done with free alternative. I really don't need the new C#.ASP.NET.COBOL programming interfaces. I just want something I can type letters on..
You mean it will ship in the year its for? Why can't people just do this. I've got some magazines on subscription and I get the March issue in Janurary. Way to confuse people. Can't we just realease the March edition on the 1st of March? What about newspapers? They come out on the same day and no-one gets confused by that
Taking the cost per GB currently and that most "small files" now are 10K+ does the overhead this cause by "wasted space" really need to matter. It still takes a hell of a lot of documents to fill up even a 250GB disk and as you can now get these disk for next to nothing I'm happy to get the extra performance
Whilst its all very nice having these great process which make for desktop replacements I still can't feel there is a market for a 1Ghz laptop, 512Mb RAM, 40GB storage and a good 12 hours of battery life in a relativly slimline case. The Sony TX1's come pretty close with 6 hours but a full 12 hours would mean you could just not have to charge up during a normal working day
I still think the old games had more playability (and though there are still gems like GTA) but newer games to me just seem to be more eye candy than anything else
"Falcon 1 Maiden Flight Update: Posted March 22, 2006
No major issues were discovered following the static fire, but, as a cautionary measure, we are going to take one more day to review data and verify system functionality. Launch is now scheduled for Friday at 1 p.m. California time"
Well good to see they are looking after safety
With a think phone, and you forget that its there does it break or is it ok?

Sudo vs. Root
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
As part of my day to day crap sudo can really help in running remote commands as root without having to login as root. We've got a few things setup which check system settings from a central node and being able to use a non root user, and then just using sudo/file really just helps keep things under control. Also with sudo you can fine tune which commands are allowed to be run. Overall a really nice toy
I do think the author is missing the point of Outlook in that for some people its just an email client and Thunderbird would work. What he misses is the shared calanders, remote mailboxes, offline working etc all which middle managers need to work. They stick with outlook as it has a good feature set for them. Users want things to "just work" and not have to worry about compatilbity or similar
Well hindsight is 20/20 but its definitly a grey area as it depends what "Pissy World" was doing to the PC. IF scanning for viruses then its feasible the files would be opened. If just being nosey...

Prehaps its following that old *NIX joke.

Honestly I can't think what else they could really add. IT works for 99% of people

I belive that it might also be a sex toy from what I last heard

Its an article about a survey of people who send out surveys. Almost rescursive surveys
