You heard right, not so long after boasting about how secure Vista is, Microsoft had to release an emergency patch for security loophole!!!Originally posted by the Bear:hey, we're still using MSIE6
we can't use FireFox or Opera because they're "unauthorised and therefore vulnerable"
heck! when we were running win98, my PC was full of stuff which made the PC run better than the stock PCs... i was using Star Office, Opera and a lot of other things which the IT fellas didn't know about... you know.. open source or free stuff
best part about it was that i was opening stuff from all the different places which they could not open with the stock programs (microsoft stuff)
and i became the guy they went to...
the programs were all free, while the organisation was paying a crapload for the MS licences and i wasn't using any of it
so, i still think that the locking of xp and vista now, is just a conspiracy to wring more money out of stupid organisations whose management don't know any better...
there was a flyer in the today about dell computers.Originally posted by av98m:You heard right, not so long after boasting about how secure Vista is, Microsoft had to release an emergency patch for security loophole!!!![]()

probably not important to them. its a matter of what you want and your targets. if the person thinks opening of horizons and perceptionis not important, then it is useless for him/her to read nonrelated newsOriginally posted by the Bear:to laurence.. see the Food topic for Soup Spoon started by me..
to hisk.. again, general knowledge isn't for "tangible benefits" but the advancement and opening of person's perception and horizons
to fudgy... some wield ignorance as a bludgeon and are proud of theirs...
to av... vista? my sister's company is uninstalling vista because it doesn't work

They actually think that seeking general knowledge actually 'crowds out' their academic knowledge from their brains.Originally posted by av98m:and this kind of attitude can come back to bite them in the ass when they least expect it![]()

what brains, in the first place?Originally posted by fudgester:They actually think that seeking general knowledge actually 'crowds out' their academic knowledge from their brains.
Some of them go so far as to say that I'm worse off by wanting to know more things.
Not trying to brag, but somehow I still thrash most of them at the exams though.
So much for the 'crowding-out' theory.![]()
