"Time will tell. Had my first BSOD in years and lots of system and application errors." Wow. I've yet to STOP/BSOD on my notebook, even with all the crap I've done to it - and on my notebook the only STOPs I've gotten have been from my mobo (either from my RAID controller, or from the IDE on it not liking being overclocked - go figure. ^_^) <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 AL
I've posted a bit in the newsgroups, but just my 2 cents: This is the most stable, and so far most trouble free alpha of anything that I've ever run. ^_^ I haven't tried 3.9a yet - I've downloaded it, just haven't installed it yet (I was playing with blackbox and reliving my old Mandrake days. ^_^) <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddle" ALT="Powered by SkinBrowser!"
"I'm sure that somebody could have a full time job fighting warez. " Hey, I'm looking for work! Okay, I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Honestly, while this isn't a good thing at all, does it honestly come as a surprise to anybody? *sighs* I don't like it, and I was angry when I heard it (and I haven't even bought Toon-XP yet! I /do/ want those icons though... argh!) but it wasn't the slightest bit of a surprise to me. :/ <A HREF="https://www.wincustomize.com/index.asp?Cmd=full&New
It may be, but I'm willing to take that chance!
Erm, well, actually they're from Boston. ^_^ their music's hard to describe - they do about as well a job as can be done in their own bio, I think.
I could stare and be shocked that you've never heard of the Dropkick Murphys - but... no, I'm not the least be surprised actually. So instead, I just do this: http://www.dropkickmurphys.com/
Security and wireless/satellite is all /really/ big out here right now - especially with all of the gov't contractors.. Disgusting money in it. Heck, CSC pays their NT admins insane amounts of money. *sighs wistfully*
Okay - but I can't promise I won't take a peek at what may be in there!
DKM - Cadence to Arms! - Same CD as before! (Ah yes, this is just exciting, riveting news, isn't it? I know you're all sitting there, at the edge of your seats - your breath stuck in your throat just wondering... wondering... 'WHAT is kthxbye listening to now? Is it the same CD? Is it a new one? If it's a new one.. is it the same artist!?' These are the things great movies are made from, my friends!) <i
Night Shmoopy!!
/me looks at the tons of uncompleted skins, themes, & other pieces of digital-type art littering his notebook and desktop... Me? A slacker? Never!
Alright! The Shmoopy & ph00ey show! Need a groupie or roadie? ^_^
More Dropkick Murphys! Whee! "Road of the Righteous"
Hey hey! Yeah - I figured he must have - just look how often he's posting them! Man, he does more work at it than I tend to do at work! ^_~
Don't worry elvee, if it starts to die, we'll just get Ph00ey to start telling jokes here too!
That's the problem with Geocities links now, Kosati - you can't just click on URLs with 'em anymore. I /think/ cutting and pasting works - but I always wind up having to type the stupid things in by hand.
Dropkick Murphys - "Barroon Hero" - "The Singles Collection"
Oy - I remember laughing my butt off when my mother showed me that one. ^_^
It's not a colour scheme /I/ am overly fond of - but I don't think it's also not a bad wall, really. If you ask me, the important question isn't if I, or anyone else here likes it, it's more like: Do you like it? Did you enjoy making it? And... did you learn anything? ^_^
Actually - by default on XP, there's also an account named 'Administrator' - it's just hidden from the logon screen unless you boot up in safe mode. The account you create for yourself during installation is /also/ given Admin priveledges though, yes. ^_^ You can always try creating another user with admin privelidges and trying the same - or seeing if you can access the properties with the other account. I haven't seen it manifest like this, but it /could/ be possible you
Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Drugs and Kittens, I'll Drink to That - on Ska-Core, The Devil & More
At least you've gone through the effort of finishing something and uploading it, unlike other people whom I won't mention out of fear of incriminating myself! *coughcough*
What's it like, Boxxi? It's nice - really nice. I did it once. Unfortunately, it was a contract job, and a rather short one at that. *sighs* ^_^
Any luck yet, Sid? Sorry - I had to crash. If not - try reboot into safe mode, and then logging on as 'Administrator' - then try resetting the settings for user account. After that check all your security policies again (if you're running XP Pro. I know Home doesn't -use- local sec policies - but there's gotta be some way to check.) <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absm
Better get used to it, sid - they are, unfortunately, hundreds of them over there.
