Coffeehouse - Posting Old Memories

System — Sun, 13 Aug 2006 21:53:24 GMT

It is a tough one. Will there be contact details on the page? If not I would feel better about posting the pictures. If there is, then yes, some security should be setup. If you don't want the responsibility, then raise your concerns with the other parents. If they decide to post the pictures, that is their choice. I wouldn't though.

Coffeehouse - XBOX Live coming to Windows?

System — Sun, 13 Aug 2006 21:43:52 GMT

I'm an avid console gamer. I prefer playing consoles then pc's. No installing, and like martin said , no need to upgrade to play the latest games. I like the fact that I can go out, buy a game and play it straight away, sitting on my couch.

Coffeehouse - this is funny really

System — Sun, 13 Aug 2006 20:52:24 GMT

Very good! It apparently took him 6 months to complete. He must have a lot of spare time.

Coffeehouse - Road to Delhi

System — Sun, 13 Aug 2006 19:06:39 GMT

Very nice Charles!

That video was crazy! Just seeing them two people sitting in the back of the van waving, must be off putting to drivers. The mopeds would annoy me. They also drive so close to the other cars.

Coffeehouse - Charles: Be Safe

System — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 11:31:00 GMT

I second the science museum! A fantastic place to spend an afternoon. (especially when the weathers bad like today!) I hope you have a fantastic time here in London Charles.

Coffeehouse - New Channel 9: Any screenshots for us?

Coffeehouse - Anyone else playing Prey?

System — Sat, 05 Aug 2006 21:08:19 GMT

Yeah, great game! Loved every minute of it. It's a little short and some what easy, but shooting a guy whilst walking up a wall is just great fun!

I havent tried multiplayer yet because I have been too busy but will soon.

But yeah, I'll give the beta a try and let you know what I think

Depends on what is installed....we've seen in a few orders of installations (two betas and one GM) where it'll eat the CPU. We've seen where if you have AOL Suite and Safety and Security Center with Norton installed it chews the CPU, it's scattered....let me know what you got I can probably tell you why.

Cool, thanks! I have AOL 9 Revision 4156.5014, with Safety and Security suite installed and Nortan antivirus v 7.60.926. So I guess thats why it causes servicehost to hog my processor!

Coffeehouse - No price drop for Xbox 360

System — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 23:05:29 GMT

Well, Im really tempted to buy a DS, just because of new super mario brothers. It looks fantastic.

As fot the 360, I didnt expect them the drop the price so soon anyway.

Coffeehouse - ASP.NET 2.0 Menus and Logins

System — Wed, 12 Jul 2006 19:06:04 GMT

I posted this thread in the Techoff forum, but I really need some help and thought this would get more responses.

Im pretty new to ASP. I have a menu control on my webpage, and a login control. What I would like is to only show a menu item when the user is logged in.

What would be the easiest way to do this? I was thinking about using the IsAuthenticated() method, and if it was true, adding the line of code to the .sitemap file, thus showing the menu item. Would this even work?

Thanks

Coffeehouse - Office 2007 Slips

System — Fri, 30 Jun 2006 11:29:14 GMT

Im guessing thats going to mean vista slips back again aswell! Surely they cant release vista without office?

Coffeehouse - Browers and VS 2005

System — Thu, 22 Jun 2006 09:52:15 GMT

Is there a way to change which browser Visual Studio uses when debugging a web application? From what I read in the help files, it uses the default browser, however its not using mine.

I had BT Yahoo browser installed which was the default and so VS used, but I uninstalled that. Now when I try and debug the website, I get the error: "unable to start program 'C:Program Files ~ ybrowser.exe' The system cannot find the file specified."

Anyone come across this error before? IE6 is my default browser. I tried resetting the settings in VS without any luck.

Coffeehouse - World Cup News: UK's Owen Taken Out On Stretcher

System — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 20:58:19 GMT

Im one of those people! Everyone refers to us Brits as... UK folk, I like to say English once and a while.

Cant believe that game. First half was great, second was crap. We should of beaten them, I cant understand why we cant beat the sweeds?

Coffeehouse - Future of TV

System — Sat, 17 Jun 2006 17:32:24 GMT

HDCP is evil, but at least it doesnt invade my privicy and collect data about what I like to watch in my spare time and swamp me with adverts!

Coffeehouse - Send me that guy over (Xbox packaging problems...)

System — Sat, 17 Jun 2006 14:02:20 GMT

Why oh why do they make the packaging so hard to open? The controllers were a nightmare! Remember to have a large supply of plasters when opening Xbox360 products! And I hope your fingers are not too badly cut up that you cant play!

What's with that studio set-up? The interviewer had to literally turn in his chair to talk to Robert...talk about snubbing. That was totally unprofessional if you ask me.

I think most BBC news programs are set up like that. The screen off to the interviewers right, guests in the studio are on the left.
