Some time in 2003 I discovered Stardock and wincustomise, then I discovered Joeuser, since then the addiction was complete, or as my wife says the other woman. Although she does admit that it has widened my computer skills and gives me another tool in my IT kitbag, she has now name ther whole it thing Lucy and has resigned herself to share her place with My job, whi
I know this will outrage all DC fans, but here goes. I my mind the music industry has become flooded with boring, factory produced, formulacic crap, based solely on whatr the industry will sell. It has reached a point where most performers now all sound and look the same. Just take a look at Idol and X Factor. This decade will go down as even more boring than the 1980's. Sadly DC is one of these acts,, Boring boring boring. I know this has
I was reading an article the other day in Australian PC Authority, about Google and its competitors, and lo and behold there is yet another search engine on the market, but searching a different way , I have loaded it and am trying it at this stage it seems to be worth a look, the name is "blinkx" and you can get more info at blinkx.com, it is free to use.<!-- Ju-Anch
I recently read an article in an australian computer publication re: comparing security suites, and found that they rated Nortons as average, the one that took the prize for best overall suite was a newcomer, called F-Secure, which you may or may not have heard of, I took a punt and spent the $116 AUD and gave it a try, it is every thing the article said it would be, I suggest if you are looking for a suite that really does secure your system, with too
Firefox plugin delivers HTML-style audio and video browsing 9:30 AM February 13 Australia's CSIRO research organisation has developed a Firefox plugin named Annodex that allows browsing through time-continuous media such as audio and video in the same way that HTML allows browsing through text. The organisation said in a statement issued this morning that "unlike other recently released video search tools, an Annodex search delivers actual video c
No problems with this guy going to prison, just a shame that those in charge get off scott free, and in some cases are fronting up to the media with their fiened disgust.
This is just one sad fact of this disaster, quite possibly the most repulsive is the increased activity of pedofiles, some reports have come in of children being kidnaped right out of their hospital beds, some people are just disgusting.
I have to admit a fopar of my own, when starting my new role at a large accounting firm as Project Manager of IT, I forgot that the firm was an accounting firm and had to keep checking my accountant jokes were a little less insensitive, thankfully all were taken in the spirit of the humore for which they were intended, and of course I am still wearing the payback , and when you do the sums I maybe up for a bit more yet, 400 accountants "V"one Project m
..... You ungrateful, hopelessly romantic sack of shit. Why don't you just go....... Love the opener, and it has spured me to start so blogs myself none finished yet, but I suppose I do need to be a little more proactive.
I have to admit that maybe I was a bit over the top with my DYING comment, I do think that while the Politics section is not as thought provoking has it can be, and in a way this is a good thing for me as I have begun to spend more time reading other section, I do however enjoy a good stoush when it comes to politics, maybe I just lamenting a bit to much and maybe initiate the debate more often. To be fair I have begun to enjoy more some of the lightr
Just one more point, Patents should not apply where there is obvious conflict with normal day to day thought and activity, eg: paten or copyright you code, or any product, not the underlying idea or concept, take for instance the use of windows by microsoft, or word, they have every right to the name MS and its products and associated logos, not windows, for a start they did not pioneer the phrase windoes, in the sense of the GUI, yet they proscute an
I should add That I fully support people's right to copyright and patent protection, if someone does the hard work, then they deserve to reap the benefits. As for software should not be copyrighted, we have already an open source industry, we also have many people building products which they then copyright, and so they should, it's thier money and time that produces the product, if we lost this protection we would not have this blog site, notr would w
I know this is a bit off the subject, but I am glad you mentioned Disney, this is one company that agressively protects their intelectual property, but has littke or no regard for that of others, and have the legal mucle to circumvent these small irratations. I find it hard to have sympathy for many lage corporations which complain about copyright/patent infrindgement, while being in many cases the worst offenders. An example being Kimba the white Lion
When it comes to lawyer jokes, or accountant or any other most are generally light hearted, but as you said dharmagrl, it was the fact that they persisted that got them into hot water, even if the said lawyer was being thin skinned, humor looses its point when you go past that point of being funny, not matter how harmless the joke, if someone says they are offended, do the right things and recoginise that you've reached the point where you should stop.
In regard to the UN, while the public face we see of the UN is a political one, and is not a good on, Just as its predcessor, League of nations, however there are many parts of the UN that do a lot of good work and we never or rarely hear of it. Personally I believe the security council is not worth "2 lumps of rocking horse shit', why? because of the beauracy that runs it, and the fact that it is generally deadlocked along political line. So yes get r
For a long time now I have been an avid reader of JOEUSER, to the point that I would consider it to be my No: 1 favourite Blogging site, however some where along the line the high quality of debate has gone and been replaced by very narrow, unintelligent name calling banter, no debate just people critising each others political persuasion, personally the reason I star
Its funny you know when you read blogs, then the replys, why, I hear you scream from accross the Pacafic ? Well because a majority of replys again focused on thinghs which had not relation to the blog, like the same old argument I see every time Left 'V' Right and who can spell the best, whether I agree with Dr Guy on most subjects or not is not important, what is the point that I though he was making about the insensitivity of these people. Having sa
.........You must not be a US citizen. Enviromental whackos hate conservatives even when they support the whacko agenda. So whether this guy is mongolian or Tibetan or what, he is a Lefty in the US. I will ignore your obvious ignorance this time....... I really wonder how intelligent, (and at this stage I am making an assumption here, as I do not personally know Dr Guy, however gettting back on track), can make such statements, firstly I re
[Look, how many criminals---drug dealers, theives, rapists, murderers, child molesters (oh, sorry, that one's a "lifestyle choice", right?) here in America get off on technicalities even though they, and we, know they're guilty as hell? They get off and go out and do it again...and again.....and again....] This I agree with whole heartedly, and nothing makes me more pissed of than to see these people walk because of laws put in place to protect thos
Sorry I forgot to say if there is one X President who shuold be doing the job I agree that Mr Carter is the one obvious choice, maybe he didn't want the job maybe he didn't get asked, I don't know, but what I do know now is probaly not the time for analysis, and I believe it is a great opportunity for western countries to show that we are good caring people who want to help because we can instead of arguing over small issues such as who goes who stays,
You know if there is one section of the community I loath it is News Media, why?, because of the fact that to them disasters are nothing more than fodda, an excuse to go into frenzy, and look for as many ways as possible to attack just about everything except themselves, Since the earthquake on boxing day I have found the entire coverage of the media to be its usual goulish santmonious self, so it comes as no surprise to me that they have gone on a wit
Murder in any for is repulsive, when it happens to defenceless children, and to do it in such a long painfull and cruel manner is something that disgusts even the most hardened of hearts. My reaction and that of most is to want these people dragged through the street and be put through the same torture they put their victims through this is a normal reaction. However comments like the following tend to make one wonder about the author, [They're both i
I have had this problem, and have found that those who use zone alarm or CA Etrust Firewall or CA Vet, will be able to fix in privacy settings, by setting ad blocking to medium, hope this helps.
Its hard for any cairing human to be objective when it comes to the murder of defence less children, yet it happens way to much, are murders insane, this depends on whether you use the states version of this or you consider all mental illness as insanity. Most countries consider a person insane when they are no longer are able to tell the difference between what is right and wrong ( taliking from the oint of view of the law and murder , medicine and it
[What we Americans get sick of is people like you who crap on the US for not doing enough and then when it's pointed out that it is doing far more than anyone else we get "quit denigrating other countries".] Firstly, I have not once critised the US in any in its efforts towards helping in this situation, I have critised your comments as being unfair in the extrem and arrogant, you seem to think that you critise whomever you like and yet cann
