I think the MS Paper Clip needs to make a comeback. A smiling little paper-clip saying, "If you would like to fire an ICBM at [random country name], click here. If you would like to use a cruise missile instead, click here. Have a nice day."

So I just got my SP2 download via automatic updates tonight and do a search for it on the board to see if anyone has had any problems and whaday know i find the most recent one here in GD where i've found all of of ABSOULUTELY NOTHING to tell me if i should or shouldn't use it.
j/kes. Funny thing is when i normally get my updates there used to be an option to get info about what the files were this time there were none. M$$ tried to slip it past me! I had to select custom install, those sneaky rats!!!
In anycase kermit or uber gave this link of stuff that wasn't working. They mentioned some programs I have on my system. Not being Anti Moneysoft but it looks like the list didn't really shrink. Supposedly they have their own firewall???WTF, how you gonna build a firewall when you can't even patch/protect your other products. *sigh* I don't wanna m$ bash, but they are way to big. M$ needs to remeber where they came from. They need to go back to their roots. They need - espeacially bill - to search their souls and find the true geek in them and embrace it. Then and only then will they get our hearts as well as our wallets.
and....SCENE!!!

I have no knowledge of the security of their firewall, but I'd imagine that they'd at least be able to make a fairly decent one. In fairness to them, it is easier to has purpose-built software that works properly than to integrate the functionality into an already very large and complex/diverse system.
Having just advocated Windows, I realize this is quite self-contradictory, but you'll see plenty of examples at www.thisisbroken.comYou're comparing Windows to a broken instrument. How is Windows broken?
Howdy,
I'll bet it works great for them, load propritary software, they limit access, cover holes after they are a problem, charge a lot of $$$ sounds like a marriage made in heaven.
Of course they could use Linux, close down the sub fleet while all of the navy learns a new OS, hire a group of teenaged hackers to develope apps, modify the kernel to do as little as possible...

No, I know you were joking. My point still stands.

Good thing though, they could always ctrl+alt+del to stop a nuke from firing
"Sir the nuke program is frozen in fire sequence, what do we do?"
"CONTROL ALT DELETE!"

wow, good example
I loathe pointers
Howdy,

Then ofcourse.. it would crash and send an error repot to microsoft and then bill gates would have top secret militaty inforamtion and would truly own the world.
He's getting there... he's getting there.

What is C++?
i guess in this case a blue screen of death means a huge wall of water entering the sub.
oh, i forgot. a huge wall of water entering the sub because of microsoft.
Microsoft caused hurricane Ivan.
El nino was caused by a memory leak...

There are certain instruments that are of a much higher quality and thus allows the musician to reach a level they would not be able to obtain with a lesser quality instrument.Nope.
Windows in general is like a musical instrument... there are no good and bad instruments, only talented and untalented musicians.
And the best musicians will have a difficult time making an instrument that is out of tune sound decent.
