Welcome to C9 WBurggraaf !

Actually the Coffeehouse is famous for our boundary pushing conversations and you are most welcome to take part in any of them.

Many new people find that C9 is, for the most part, an easy community to become established in because we don't operate a 'star' system based on how many posts you have.

Their is no hierarchy here and it's really all about quality of contribution ... as long as it's legal, decent and honourable, it doesn't have to even be new!

Don't worry about English not being your first language either ... it's not a problem at all.

Anyway, you are most welcome ... if you have any questions, create a thread and share ... no such thing as a stupid question! ... or if you are a bit embarrased drop me an email, I'm happy to answer and questions regarding C9.

Install Firefox as admin. Run it as a limited user, you'll get asked whether it should be the default browser. Click Yes. Notice how it doesn't become your default browser. Enjoy this fun every time you run it!

Try it on a day when one of the non-optional updates comes out and the stupid thing won't run because it keeps failing to install it.

Try setting things up as an admin so that limited users can just use it (proxy settings etc) and not break things they shouldn't meddle with.

Um, I run IE as a non-admin user on a daily basis and have never had a problem with the updating feature, because it was designed to work properly in the first place.

Sorry but you are wrong, at least in the US. It has already held up in court that you own the media, not the music. If it was not for the idea of *fair-use* you would not even be able to media-shift or make a backup. Purchasing a CD only grants a limited use rights to the contents. Just like the GPL, the fact that you are unaware of your rights, does not grant you any rights. Jorgie

You have no clue what I said, and it is my fault, as I was not clear.

When you purchase a CD or DVD, you own that copy of it. You have fair use rights, such that you can watch and record the contents of it on any device that you own so long as it is for your entertainment (and perhaps your families' entertainment, as well as your friend's entertainment when they visit). You do not have distribution rights, the right to sell it or even the right to air in public, but you do have the right to do pretty much anything else with it.

In failing to seek clarification of what I meant, you made an overarching statement that does not apply. Now you probably feel foolish.

Part 2 is the most interesting, particularly the comments:

vladimir's blog wrote:I don’t think I’ve ever tested under non-admin accounts on XP (I’m not sure if our QA folks were)

This essentially reinforces something I've often speculated: that the FireFox developers seem blissfully unaware that you can even create Limited Users on XP and that there so-called secure software is just horribly, horribly broken in that scenario.

I really hope this finally encourages them to rearchitect the broken bits of Firefox, because right now it's shaping up to be a far less security conscious option, which is a shame when it's rendering engine is undoubtedly more standards compliant than IE 7 will be.

What's your killer feature, either present, or not,  in Vista or Longhorn server. WinFS is no longer a valid answer

Well I take "killer feature" to be the feature that kills my desire for the product, and you all know what that one is

<asp:RadioButton GroupName="Field_MyRadioGroup" Value="Foo" runat="server" />
<asp:RadioButton GroupName="Field_MyRadioGroup" Value="Bar" runat="server" />
<asp:RadioButton GroupName="Field_MyRadioGroup" Value="Baz" runat="server" />

I want more power under my hands with a windows that works, but is not heavy on the system. Hell I will put windows 98 in it just to fly with the winds. I hate hour glasses, I like things super fast.

Vista is faster than XP. Now, from my memory, XP was much faster than my Windows 98 machine..

Assuming my memory is correct, wouldn't you rather put Vista on it than Windows 98?

Hi all,

Don't forget, I've posted my direct dial phone number soliciting your feedback.  For those that would sit behind their keyboard and send flames and personal attacks, I do not believe you produce the results you claim to want - to have a 2-way conversation.

To those who have taken the opportunity to provide some real feedback on this thread, thank you and I encourage others to do the same.  I'm reading every piece of that feedback.

Best, MJ

A piece of work regarding internet phenomena? Or the internet as a powerful media? (Videos like that spread fast I presume)

That's my guess anyway.
