see? thats why its easy to construe CH9 as a farce:

Pretend Tom Malones post (above) was to be included in "whatever" release - if the idea was revolutionary - you couldnt include it - as the mary jo folys of the world are probably watching.

so i guess this is just a big bug report..

oh well - better than NO big bug report

Rampage:  I hope so

ps- the powers that be at channel 9 may also want to look at this ( off topic)

PROOF!

ok.

as stated above - SP2 is bugging me to reboot.  I let it as that is its default setting:

Its witching hour - late night - its bugging me to re-boot -- so after 3 "buggings" i decide to let it to do it - to help me prove my point: - please witness the following:

1. My desktop - - open coreldraw - draw a box - DO NOT SAVE

2. open msn mess and media player - open window and start pink floyd album

here is that:

it will at least not reboot - IF I FORGOT TO SAVE MY WORK RIGHT???


NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

poo on SP2 - i want a shirt haha

oops - just came across another one:

In service pack TOO (much)

when you let it manage your updates - it demands to restart your computer - regardless of work you have open.

If you are lucky enough - to still be up at witching hour - or rebooting hour - it bugs you over and over - "You have 5 minutes - and we are rebooting"  no option to say - DONT reboot till im done all my work.

Man i got like 18 windows open - FP, Corel, photoshop, word, emails .. i come down in the morning and WINDOWS decided to reboot!!!!!!!!

sorry but..  over riding Save? commands is bad - no no

poo on sp2

i want a shirt

Theres an old MS story - about hawks and doves ( Breaking Windows - David Banks - as well as - How MS won the Web - the story of IE)

In these "stories" - there was a basic rift between what was the Internet Tools division, and the Win team.

A major sticking point was java - or J+ and control of win interface - as well as open vs closed.

As i remember - Ben Slivka, Brad Silverberg, and many others were "the internet doves" and Mr Alchin etc were the Windows "Hawks".

Seems that after a long long long time ( ® George Harrison) that the doves have won:  This site for one. .Net's adam bosworth open arcitecture 2; & the sun settlement ( k thats a stretch) = J+2 ( hey ben!)

Seems to me - brad and ben were right all along - and not "communists" (billg)  after all.

Is channel 9 a commie?

jamie

but free as in speech?

the perpetual beta could at least give you "we're free too" ammo?

why be so -definate-

perception is just..that!

btw- vanlanbw - arnt you in the show 24? haha

That's not really in SP2... but I could see how you could be easily be mistaken by the removal of many user / client side things that were always there before but now have been disallowed.

Windows firewall - SP2 - enabled by default

send file on msn messenger - get following:

Slow file transferIf you are experiencing slow transfer rates in MSN Messenger, you or the person you are communicating with might be behind a firewall or network address translator (NAT) that prevents a direct connection to the Internet. If your Internet service provider uses a firewall or NAT, you might be prevented from connecting directly, even if neither of you is behind a firewall or NAT.

so - i should turn it off right??
lol

how can you go from being for the USER - into being SECURE without contradicting 20 years of MS stregnth? - allow user to DO WHAT THEY WANT unencumbered

sheesh
roll back
restore
oops -
cant
or no more winupdate
stuck
