On the front lines, computers are very >mission-critical. Talk about annoying the audience, a somewhat new trend in live local TV news broadcasts in Chicago and I'll assume elsewhere the last few years is to have a long shot showing the anchors in the foreground while passerby on the street are shown since it now seems to be the "in" thing to have a showcase studio at street level. Invariably some yahoo stares or just has to wave or jump or down or do something dumb, which in my options totally destroys the anchor's creditability making the news, suppose to be a serious show, look more like a circus. Even dumber is the director of CNBC's popular "Fast Money" show that features motor mouth anchor Dyland Ratigan and four "experts" giving stock tips each trying to out talk each other. While I find the banter often interesting, the director constantly makes fast cuts to show one of the experts not talking while you still hear the one that is. This probably was a accident originally, but now it seems to be a "feature" of the show with whoever the director switches to as soon as they're aware the camera is on them they ham it up, like smirk or roll their eyes or do something else silly while the other guy is still heard talking. I don't get it. |

Oh this is indeed interesting. If you're a true blue Microsoft fan you're trusting Microsoft crap like Defender and UAC to PROTECT you. Well not so fast. This issue and THREAT is due to how Windows in both XP and Vista handles executable files on the desktop, the most logical place you would have a link to a browser. Oh you remember, the very things Microsoft claims it wants to protect you from with Defender and UAC. Guess those things don't work too well. Surprise! Honest, you Microsoft apologists make be laugh so hard my ribs hurt. |

| Re: Microsoft Taking Official Petitions to Keep XP Alive Adam Albright is an online bully, who wanders from forum to forum trying to impress people with his vast knowledge and experience. He achieves this by ridiculing anyone who might know something that he does not: "My current job is to make idiots like you sound like crackpots." He is seeking the attention and respect that he is denied in real life, because no one, and I mean no one, respects a loser in real life. Even the chickens in the barn yard peck at the loser hens unmercifully. People can smell a loser like Mr. Albright, even through the medium of the Internet. Even if he knows as much as he claims, and I doubt this very much, it is all useless because he is a self admitted supernumerary, an outcast. He claims to have retired twenty years ago, but I think you're wrong about him being "too dumb to keep a job". It's his fulminating personality disorders that keep him from working with anyone else. The idea of making a petition to keep XP alive is silly though. They can put 8 GB of memory and a TB of hard disk in a computer that would have had 128 MB and 10 GB when XP was released. All that space is just begging for bloatware of the type that the Advanced Technology Group (if it is still called that) in Redmond cranks out. I remember them well. Guys with CS degrees and Indian surnames who worked on exotic products that never saw the light of day when I was there. Looks like their day has come now.

I infect my fridge and freezer with all kinds of stuff. Some of it HOT. I subject it to harsh cleaners and repeated slamming of the doors. The alarm clock/radio gets subjected to the weirdest combinations of button presses, especially in the morning. The processor in the clock keeps ticking. The same with the processors in the dryer and microwave. The power company subjects ALL my appliances to surges, spikes and brownouts. So far, they've all survived, with the clock setting in the microwave being the exception. That unit has no battery backup. The point dave was making is that the computer and it's software should be no different than a garden variety appliance. It should just work. The bloated operating systems out there now are so convoluted in their construction that even their makers have lost track of what's in the code. The finer points of quality and care in the finished product seem to have been lost in the mad rush to get unfinished work to market and more people are voting with their wallet and NOT buying. With all respect, I am now leaving this discussion. This can turn into a never ending debate. Please, feel free to have the last word. mike -- Due to the insane amount of spam and garbage, this filter blocks all postings from Gmail, Google Mail and Google Groups. http://improve-usenet.org/ |
