That any of my customers that bought computers from them that needed to downgrade, they would provide OEM cds for the cost of the media ($30) yeah, expensive cds, but they work for the oem computers..:)
Well, with that logic all politicians should be tasered too...;) We as citizens of the united states, the ones who the country is supposed to be about, have the right to ask questions, we don't have the right to answers, but we do have the right to ask the questions. It does not take 6 cops to remove one person, something else was afoot here.
Senator of the United States of America of the People, By the People, For the People. He is no more than a citizen that got picked (short straw?), by people in his state to represent their interests, lets not put royalty status on shit-heels, that would be like allowing trolls to post without calling them Teamkilling Fucktards.
And by the way, the word is "FUCK", if you need help I suggest watch Deadwood. You will also learn about politics;]
I ran it on "Modern Hardware" dual core intel with 2gb ram; worked fine at first, albeit slow for what I know the hardware could do. The more we learn about the OS the more we understand why this is, even trimming down and only running a base system, it is dramatically slower than xp on the same hardware. Thus my no longer using it. I will eventually run it full time on a machine, as there is I have to in order to become familiar with it and my client base gets newer computers using the new OS. If it weren't for Microsoft, I would probably have to get a real job.
The big question here though is of all the people using MS Office 95/97/2k/2k3/2k7 did you pay for it? If you paid for it, is the license you are using now the one you are allowed to use, ie. you purchased office while at college and now you are in the real world?? I knew a guy that signed up for junior college classes and never went so he could buy software for his business at the university book store!!!! When I told him that was not in line with the EULA he laughed and said they would have to catch him... (He does the same thing with the Adobe Suites)
This is what keeps programs that work like OOo out of the mainstream. That and the fact that even though it works and you can edit documents from other people and they can edit yours, people have this 'feeling' they are missing something because EVERYONE else is using MS Office
However if these people HAD TO PAY THE AMOUNT MICROSOFT wants them to pay, they would never do it.
If you are under the age of 50 you have never known the ESSENTIAL LIBERTIES of he spoke. We are now tracked from the day we are born 'til the day we die. They do not get all of the information unless of course you are REALLY stupid, but they get enough so that if you become a problem stirring things up, they can get the rest if they need to. So let's go out and vote for the guy you think will win from the only two parties that really matter anyway, then go have a beer and lose our initiative watching some lame-assed tv
Not Exactly, if you watch Bourne Ultimatum, you see them using Echelon to find data; that is not DHS doing it, it's the cia, so.... They only move on or let go of technology when they get something better, this is the case and always has been... believe it, they are still listening and watching. BTW what does Dead Hooker Storage need with that data?
Autopatcher was a windowy tool in the Microsoft mold.(you can take that either way) It was very nice and if you just needed a few things you could dig through the folders and find your toys, it did do some strange registry gymnastics that had odd results at times so I stopped using it in it's full capacity. But they provided you everything, as in, they distributed MS software. The Heise CTUPDATE however, does not provide you anything but a windows version of wget and a script to a) download all the latest updates and b) create an iso of the updates that will autorun and autoinstall all the updates. Very different, as they do not distribute MS software:)
Also, when I install updates via CTUPDATE windows knows they were installed and does not re-install the software on the next update, as opposed to AutoPatcher, where most times windows update re-installed most of the updates.
The lesson here, is HOW you choose to do what you intend to do. If AutoPatcher changed only gave away a script to download and compile the data then they would not have a problem.
so they buy a 500gb drive, hook it up to record for a few minutes until full, send to the court explaining this is x minutes of data from ram, we will need you to provide us with Petabox so that we may get a full hour of data for you:) IANAL, I don't think you have to pull the ip#s out for them; and if it is in machine language they will just have to get their own interpreter.
That punishes ignorant morons that have been elected when they attempt to legislate something they a) have no idea about wtf is going on, and b) are creating such legislation because they got a campaign contribution or an addition to their house...:)
Why don't they just offer the Microsoft Work At Home http://www.microsoft.com/Education/WorkHome.mspx ; after being told many years ago by the courts MS has now created a "policy" of "allowing" you to have software from work on your home computer:) but this is a special education license ahem..
Remember, when you graduate you have to pay for a FULL license to the products you purchased through your university bookstore:), or did you not read your EULA? I see this time and time again, people utilizing educational or purchased through educational means, in their offices. When I inform them that they need to get properly licensed they look at me like I threatened them, and still don't believe it after you show them. I tell them to CMA as I could really care less, I don't sell software, but as a consultant I apprise them of their situation, and as all consultants know, no one ever listens.
because in pdf format it is much more difficult to cut and past the text into turnitin.com, remember these are teachers, they have limited learning capacity... sigh.
I had this argument with a teacher and was told I was arrogant, didn't see what that had to do with the discussion.. . ahem. You must realize the teachers "think" they need to "learn" each new program (even though many of them know nothing more about MS products other than Stupid Office Tricks), and that trying to teach another product would cause them undue harm. I tried to get a school to put at the end of a class (last day/week kind of thing) a little "other products" lesson but they would have none of it, even if I did the "showing" of the other products. Even though for a school district, OpenOffice is free, and SO IS STAR OFFICE, (fill out the form and they send you a disc that ALL YOUR STUDENTS and FACULTY may use), they see they are getting a great value discount "from $500 to $84". It is the old, "but it was on sale" mindset.

all you have to do is wait for the right software install/windows update combo to do this for you :) /Nelson/ HA! HA! /Nelson/

read that as Dead Hooker Storage? I thought damn, someone has an array!!! An array of Dead Hooker Storage, would that be a plethora?
Balmer, stop posting here, and take your predilections elsewhere like the MSDN Forum.
