i've heard wonderful things about this software, and ive got it running on my work machine right now. who better to protect their own software's holes than microsoft themselves. unfortionately their attempts to release this as a very inexpensive or free bundled application is only going to open themselves up to antitrust suits from mcafee and symantic for 'trying to push the other antivirus vendors out of the market'.. look for microsoft to r

Reply to Administrators Vs Users? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

may not be your fault, but.. think about it as simply being your job to answer the repetetive calls and do the silly things that get everything running again. we've got two guys in our IT department who kill themselves for us, and 80% of their time is wasted dealing with people who don't follow instructions. picking up after human errors. its just the way things work. all you can do is post some signs.. "this doesn't work? check a. the cable is connect

Reply to Newbie Graphic Designer in Requests WinCustomize Forums

an after though.. are you doing an associates program or a bachelors program? i ask because i began in an associates program, switched into a much larger program, and the difference in the education is astonishing. that does not mean a 2 year associates is goign to make you a bad designer. i do know good designers who didn't even go to school for it. but it means that if you really love what you're doing and you want to be the best you can, you should

Reply to Newbie Graphic Designer in Requests WinCustomize Forums

i'm gonna thank Horizon for making some very important key points, mainly: 1. Don't think computers is the important part of graphic design. and 5. Don't break rules unless you know why you're breaking them. 6. Take typography as soon as you can, it's just as important as, and actually is a graphic element. graphic design is not about the computer you use or the programs you use. i was sort of taken back seeing the first

so, is anyone here 'My Spacing'? in Community WinCustomize Forums

so i was wondering how many people here had MySpace accounts. i thought it would be neat to get some of us together (like the late night IRC crew or the stardock staff - clusters of us who chat) on MySpace as friends, and create a Stardock group for everyone to mingle in to. having a Stardock Group would give us an additional message board, and everyone just by signing on to MySpace is given a personal blog area. sure we already have both of

i find it annoying when i run across a site that says it DOESNT support internet explorer. why not? what extra bells and whistles has the developer added that i NEED to use, which i can't use in a basic browser? why does my bank and all my credit cards use sites that explicitly require explorer? ..

Reply to Media Players - What Do You Use and Why in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

i use iTunes. but i don't like iTunes. more on that later. windows media player 10 is a terrific player. i have 30.5 gigs of music (its a little more than 2 weeks of constant play) and media players handles it all very well. i like the ease of browsing the library, expanding by artist, album, and so on. its easy to rate your music, if that's what you like to do. WMP uses such a little amount of resources that you can have it open while you're

Reply to Is alpha transparency worth it? in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

remember that longhorns new graphics engine will be realeased earlier, for XP. maybe things arn't as far off as they seem. i can not WAIT for vector graphics in the windows interface. overall things would be sharper, edges smoother, and with transparency skinners could do funky things to their skins. as you said, vectors would also be faster. i can see how users would struggle learning how to draw in vectors, but once its been mastered it is m

if you're after a pc notebook with the works - ie a great color screen, going around 17", with dvd burning and especially if you want something thin - you're going to pay the same for a PC than you will with an apple. look at the difference between the mac modles and pc's with wireless internet, harddrive size, and memory. if you're going for a desktop, different story. pc's are easily cheaper. how about your software? will you have
