Target, I would highly suggest you to avoid IONICWIND, their website, forums, applications because after all you get is grief!I think this indicates a mindset out there that is a little unseemly, programming languages are tools. No more and no less, it's one thing to be loyal too and enjoy a particular flavor/style, but it's another to be a rabid fanatic in thrall to a specific language and it's users and developer.
I haven't taken the plunge into trying out Microsoft's Vista OS yet. Mostly because I'm too cheap to switch right now plus I just really like WinXP pro.
But you can google "pros and cons" and find all kinds of opinions about this operating system and what people hate and like about it.
I've been reading more about personal experiences as opposed to what the major software writers have been putting out there.
The Elder Geek has a nice article on the practicalities of installing Vista but mouser at Donationcoder has some practical advice based on direct experience:
This is possibly a more recent update from the source linked above.Caught it before I did.Update: Word from Microsoft is that this problem has been fixed, and all users affected should revisit the WGA site and re-validate. There's no explanation as to why Microsoft was originally telling people to wait until Tuesday, but the good news is that the problem has been solved.
Thanks for the heads up Cpilot.-Eóin (August 25, 2007, 08:02 PM)
Wonderful! Thanks for alerting us to this, cpilot . I guess the best advice right now is to stay away from any downloads/installations that require WGA do its thing; it's too risky right now.There's supposed to be a fix by Tuesday (Sept. 28) but then again by what I'm reading M$ isn't sure what the problem is....so who knows?-Darwin (August 25, 2007, 03:34 PM)
Started seeing this being reported around the web. OS's affected are WinXP and Vista.
Well it looks as if the exclusivity between Apple and AT&T can't survive the world of cyberspace. Three seperate hacks for the iPhone are now available with 2 claiming to be software only.
Hey Cpilot, they have a code block for FBSL too (in case you didn't already know).No I didn't fowmow, I'll check it out.-fowmow
Yeah well, what's an e or a among friends?My point is that it's somewhat spacious for someone to go to anothers paid
spacious, specious - who's really paying attention... Certainly not me. I'd be the last person to start arguing semantics here!
Sorry, couldn't resist!-Darwin (August 21, 2007, 05:45 PM)
Let me add something i think is important for this discussion:The tools for the population to be informed are already out there if that population chooses to be informed.
Most of economic theory seems to be based on the presumption of a fairly rationale (in terms of their self interest) and informed public.
One of my biggest concerns about the world we live in is that the commercial marketplace has their hooks in every level of power in our society, and is set up to distributed advertising/propaganda/misleading information in an incredibly effective fashion, and leveraging every innate weakness of the human psyche.
In such a situation, it's my belief that the normal controls that a "free marketplace" might excercise are ineffective in practice. You don't get the benefits of democracy if most of your population is not informed about the issues.-mouser (July 13, 2007, 05:32 PM)
Today, however, collecting on old debts is a rapidly expanding industry. Aggressive companies can buy charged-off credit card accounts from the original lenders for pennies on the dollar or less. Then, they use credit-scoring and other new technologies to identify which debtors are most likely to pay. The players in this "junk debt" market range from fly-by-night outfits to well-established companies funded by Wall Street investors.
Good software. For all the people buying Dell and similar it's an excellent tool.Lots of folks ain't talented enough to roll their own, me I'm just too lazy , it's one tool among many.
Glad I buy computers in parts!-Lashiec (June 26, 2007, 01:15 PM)
