Gene - Nah, JU is cool. I wanted to start up an alternate blog for some time over here. Just another place to mouth off because I do it so readily, as opposed to actually doing it well. You know how it goes, though: Blink, and the next thing you know, months have passed. And yes, I've been keeping and eye on "Stevie" since I showed up. He looks like he'll make a nice after-

Travel, they say, broadens the mind. (I, for the record, hate traveling. I read a lot. That tends to do the job for me.) I blogged elsewhere for about two years and some change. Over time, I lost my way. Grew discontent. I never accumulated a vast audience; this was never my intention, though. The small handful of readers I had were among the best pe
I am not following you on this one. I am running Vista RC2 (5744) and Office 2007 - legally for free. Have you paid for these for some reason (other than shipping or the bandwidth fee)? I suspect that unclerob's talking about the oft-mentioned (and arguably meritorious) notion that Microsoft tends to
You guys are loosing the argument. Rush's point is clear if you just listen. The argument is non-existent, or at best one-sided; Limbaugh seems interested only in misunderstanding, hyperbole, and name-calling. Hardly traits worthy of the so-called standard bearer of conservatism, these. And hardly the
Oops. Sorry, Dr. Guy, and thanks for the correction. I'm suffering from a newborn baby girl, which affects the memory at times. Still, that makes the point even more clearly, no?
How about we dig a little deeper into history. Does anybody know how many conservatives sat at home after Gerald Ford beat Ronald Reagan back in '76 for the Republican presidential nomination? Here's why I ask. What happened after Carter defeated Ford in that general election? Four years of embarrassment and ineptitude from the White House, and a discussion over the kind of leadership that would best serve the country. This discussion ev
A very impressive release! This is decidedly not your pappy's ObjectBar. Tinkering with all of the new features and stuff gives me plenty to do in the silent moments between my five-day-old's bouts of crying and hunger!
look we have laws here in Europe and M$ has to follow these laws like Europe has to follow laws from the US that Europe doesn't like..... Ah, but the European Commission, one would think, has an obligation to fully disclose their requirements to Microsoft prior to Microsoft releasing their product, wo
Activation tends to make more work both for the customer, and for the company.... Stardock's activation process, as Kryo points out, is as unobtrusive as can be. It doesn't make anymore work for me. And as I said earlier, if the extra work load on Stardock's part makes the activation process a worth
LittleHalfPint - My wife and I are ODNT subscribers; we've installed various bits and bobs of Object Desktop on our two main computers, and there's never been so much as a peep out of the software about activation difficulties. We've upgraded, downgraded, formatted (I killed my desktop one day about a month ago, just don't ask ), reinstalled...you name it, we've done it. There's never been an issue. Not a
Slick. As. Can. Be. I think it's a keeper!
My computers names are mostly all named after Egyptian gods. (I'm into Egyptology. Sue me. ) My desktop is Ra (the sun god and kinda the head man of the outfit), my Tablet PC is named Thoth (the god of scribes and...well...it needs a stylus to work, right?), my wife's lappy is Sekhmet (because that was the first female one who came to mind when I needed to name it on the network), and our web serve
No problems to report here, and I'm turning on features left and right on my capable-but-old machine with only a minimal hit to performance. I swear it feels smoother than 2.x did. How do you folks do it? Yet another fantastic effort!
