Reply to Poll Results: Target Iraq in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

"There was definitely a large enough sampling (1017 respondants) for it to be statistically valid." Valid for what? Online polls are basically only good for entertainment purposes. The networks gets tens of thousands (if not more) online poll respondents, and even they don't claim for it to be for anything other than entertainment value. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" border=0 ALIG

Stardock NewsServer down? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I haven't been able to connect to news.stardock.com since last night. Just tried connecting to irc.stardock.com and no luck there, either. No problem with www.stardock.com, though. Anyone else having the same problem, or is it a problem with my ISP?

I agree with most of what you said, Paul, but when you pay for something, I think it gives you the right to criticize it, when the product is not as good as you expect.

grayhaze - Yeah, I too thought that was weird that it monitors specific IP addresses instead of network connections.

I'm having redraw problems here. Every time I minimize with a news or discussion page open, when I restore, it briefly shows the proper page and then it all turns white. I have to roll-up/down or do something else to force a redraw.
