If the app is Microsoft certified (yes marketing I know but it does have validity in some aspects) for that specific OS the user should not have to be admin to run but installation is another matter. If the user needs to be then chances are it was never given the seal. Of course the inverse is not necessarily true.
Is it MS fault that a 3rd party app needs admin to run? Install yes but run? I would say so if all applications needed that permission. Lay the blame where it is deserved. The application developer not Microsoft (for once).
I used to do that at my last job with the old Altavista version. I had it scanning the drive and dumping it to a share and pointed the tool on the user's desktop to the share instead of the local disk. Handy as hell
Yeah but Microsoft has a better eye towards Security in 2004 than Microsoft did in in 1998 (not like that means that much). I suspect you meant reverse of what you said
I wouldn't say this insightful. Unfortunately there are people who think they are enlightened who actually have no clue. It is a measurement of risk. (course the fact I work for a place that has severe security due to people may die if certain information gets out might be part of the problem)
If so, the next time the vote happens I am definitely voting for them. I pretty much agree with everything he said. It may end up being a wasted vote but at least I will have a clear concious. Liberals are corrupt and the Tories are trying too much to make Canada into the US with killing the health system (granted they want to put more money into our military but come on Canada does NOT need an Aircraft Carrier)
If I pulled something like hook a piece of hardware from work to an external network (or vice-versa). I would be turfed. What is with these places that allow it? We have a strict "no external hardware" policy on the network and we are not allowed to connect to other networks with our hardware. Seems like common sense yet this is not the first time I have heard of this happening.
Tried to install it but it wouldn't run on an Athlon:(
Anyways I think people aren't "just" waking up to Windows being insecure, unstable etc. It's just that they are willing to live with it rather than investigate alternate OS
Did that and it doesn't make a difference. That is the nice thing of BitTornado, by default will let it through. I changed my ports to a higher level and that seemed to help a bit. I was getting about 200k after about 20 minutes.
Sorry this is Offtopic I have found though that for me, the download speeds using BitTorrent do not surpass http downloading. An example would be the latest BF Vietnam patch. I tried to download it from Bittorrent but it was going to take about 12 hours to get a 100+ meg file while going to one of the mirrors I was able to download it in about 3 minutes. This was over cable. I had the ports open on my firewall and forwarding enabled as well and I am using BitTornado and throttling back the upload a small amount. I like BitTorrent but I never see the speeds I expect out of it. Only around 40-80k while HTTP I would get 200-400 normally. Any ideas?
Mind you in this situation it would definitely been beneficial for NASA to use BitTorrent as a medium. (ok so it isn't that offtopic)
This question has been asked twice. Here is my response with a question. It is a time where they have FTL technology, what's to say that he didn't have a picture of him from way back when? Just because they didn't show it doesn't mean it wasn't there.
I agree with you. I never get sick (maybe once every two years) but my wife only needs to be within a block of someone sick and she will get it. She also won't touch anything that is over the due date and has sat out for over an hour without proper heating/cooling.
That's funny I thought that that album had done something to my hifi too as the the hihats sounded really screwed up. Then I realized it was intentional.
True but if you drive half an hour out of Ottawa (~1Million people) to Lanark there was no option until just recently which is wireless but it has a huge startup fee
I feel your pain. I had a flakey motherboard but didn't know it until I got Half Life. The game would start and go through maybe 3 minutes of the intro on the train and all of a sudden the game would crash. Updated drivers, bios, prayed to the computer gods, reinstalled OS. Did everything. Then decided it was time to get a new motherboard. Problem disappeared. Who'd a thunk
Personally, I think airplane hijackings are a thing of the past.
Pre 9/11 it was "don't be a hero" usually involving flying the plane somewhere and trying to get someone freed and no one got hurt. Now with the potential fact that they may want to fly the plane into building/ground/etc. most people would take the risk of getting injured rather than being sheep led to the slaughter.
This is insightful? I have found XP to be way more stable than 95. Granted there are more security issues but the OS itself has been rock solid even after SP2.
If you had to install the FTP server service off of the original cd that had not been slipstreamed (which I believe NT did not have inherently but could be hacked together) then yes

Since about 90-99% of all software, including games, require admin access just to be used, you're SOL there.
Can you show where you got this statistic? I would agree that you need admin access to install but to use? Not likely.

That make sense I may try that!
The thing I have found is that I seem to get the best through put if I set BitTornado to Dialup. I would set higher but then my download drops.

Yes a good irish name like Kennedy, who would be named that. I don't know how about McVeigh?

They have a sysadmin there. His main priority is ensuring the email is up that's it.
I have the laserdisc ones and they are in stereo it seems as my back speakers don't make a peep the entire time while watching them
I plan to pick up a decent vcr and try to pull them off and make my own
Four words:
Bittorrent Suprnova Laserdisc rip
Not bad quality

Dosbox = most old games will run on XP.
