The day to day ramblings of an IT Professional and Community Leader
Oh man, a Microsoft (M$) MVP! What should I expect from this kind of person. Man, get a life and read some books, you are just a damn piece of the Matrix!
I thought the problem with stealing is that there is an injured (or stolen from) party. The music industry is doing great, 90% of music downloaded is done so illegally. Money is still being spent on music. People are going to more concerts and the music people are downloading is stuff they would not pay for anyway.
There is a video from the editor of wired I watched on their website, if it's not their it'll be on youtube somewhere I'm sure, he's also wrote a book about it. going into detail about the above.
This situation is very different from stealing a car. And as a Canadian judge ruled, is far more like photocopying a page from a book in a library.
Back when I was a computer support technician I used to carry a binder of CDs and DVDs, including (but
My wife’s 17” HP Pavillion laptop broke; when I say that it broke I do not mean that the OS crashed or
I think this article is screaming for a picture of the damaged laptop
I might hav taken it as I have two busted laptops at home both unusable and one of them happens to be an HP that I would have jimmied the MoBo into if it fit.
Hey, I was wondering if you could add OS' like 98se, XP and so on that do not have 'identifiable Operating Systems' when trying to import the ISO images... If you know of a workaround that would be fantastic
Mitch, you are doing some amazing work--sorry I missed you on your last trip to the West Coast.
Very valid rebuttal. That's why you're an MVP! You certainly know the technology.
a good, well thought out article and hits almost all nails on the head. However I do disagree on one point, that being the UI being no mean hardship for a user past ten minutes. You obviously have never watched a pensioner who struggled but endured xp attempt to adapt to the new UI.
To not have a "classic option" dotted in the relevent places is a little unthoughtful really. I'm more the adept with using various operating systems and for the most part have dealt with the UI change. While I prefered a classic start menu I am okay with the new style. But to not at least include the tickbox to disable program scrolling miffed me. It's not a lot to ask really imo.
Remember some people struggle like hell with computers, it's like an alien concept to them. Microsoft could cater for these people a little more sometimes. I was equally disapointed in this regard when they started shuffling the UI and folder locations in Vista because to me it didn't render them more accessible, it was just something else to remember everytime the computer got turned on. For me a minor gripe but for older generations it's a huge turnoff.
Mitch,
4MB footprint! Other than that, perfection!!!!!!!!!

What a great feature! I have not been able to try this out yet but as soon as I get Bluetooth for my PC I'm going to use it! Thanks for sharing this fantastic tip!

I had to deploy a new DC at work to take advantage of some of the management capabilities supplied in Server 2008 R2 (Powershell Active Directory Modules) but wanted this DC to be Special. Yep “Special”. I wanted a REAL DC. CORE. Secure. Restricted. Bet
After i update the deployment share i create a new media and the result is a list of empty folders with no content. what a i doing wrong i followed the instructions to the letter added windwos Xp and windows 7 along with their tasks.
I guess it proved, as I predicted, to be not so essential after all. Microsoft attributes the discontinuation to "new IT trends" but the product is less than two years old and the trends were taking shape long before that. In fact, in the post linked
