2012/5/18-7/20 [Computer/SW/WWW/Browsers] UID:54392 Activity:nil | 5/18 On my Win7 machine, I've been using a PuTTY ssh session to soda as a
proxy for my FireFox to bypass my company's OpenDNS when I visit
http://tv.yahoo.com and so on. It has been working fine for a long while.
However, in the past couple weeks or so, my FireFox would either take
several minutes to load the page, or failes to load it after several
minutes. I haven't changed any settings on my Win7 machine. Rebooting

version of Firefox will soon be vulnerable to online attacks." Are
they planning to turn off some security feature in my version of
Firefox?
\_ Not as such, no, but they're no longer developing this version,
so if a 3.6.x-targeted hack shows up, you're not going to get

2010/2/18-3/9 [Computer/SW/WWW/Browsers] UID:53713 Activity:nil | 2/18 Why is there now Firefox 3.5.8 when there was already 3.6 a month ago?
\_ Why is there Windows XP SP3 when there was already Vista?
Generally companies manage patches for at least two levels of
product. -tom
\_ I see. So Fx 3.6 is more like a new version than an update to
3.5.x. --- OP

2010/2/8-18 [Computer/SW/Apps/Media, Computer/SW/Apps] UID:53695 Activity:kinda low | 2/5 I like Adobe Flash. When written correctly, it scales along
with your browser size. It looks consistent on every single
browser. It is predictable. On the other hand, I'm not a big
fan of CSS/HTML, which for the most part, look wildly different
between browsers, and don't even work consistently or
correctly at times. So why do so many people (like Steve Jobs)

Will this make me a hozer?
\_ Possibly. I wonder if we should have another VM for that...btw,
I remember someone saying they're glad we're not on FreeBSD
anymore, but last I checked, a bunch of our stuff is on FreeBSD,
but our login server is not.

2004/9/2 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:33295 Activity:kinda low | 9/2 Hi, my old PC can dual-boot between DOS (don't laugh) and NT. It has
quite a few NT apps installed. Now if I install Win2k or XP onto the
PC, will I be able to dual-boot between DOS, NT, and 2k or XP? Does it
matter if I install it on the same or different hard disk? Also, will
I have to re-install all the NT apps in order to run them in 2k or XP?
Thanks.

2004/5/27 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:30447 Activity:insanely high | 5/27 Is there any way to get around the WinXP registration requirement,
besides re-installing every now and then? Has anyone tried this: set
the CMOS date to Year 2010 or so, install XP, then set the date back to
today. Would that work?
\_ Why don't you just get the corp edition and enter in a volume
license key?

All I see on the MS web site are patches for NT Server, NT TSE, and
versions of 2k / XP / Server 2003, but not NT Workstation. Thanks.

2002/6/17-18 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:25122 Activity:low | 6/17 I need to write an interrupt service routine to detect hardware
interrupts, under Win2000, but I don't want to reinvent the
wheel. Is there some place that offers skeleton code for ISR's
so I don't need to write one entirely myself? I searched the
msdn site but they only had a few help pages worth of material,
nothing else.

2001/10/25 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:22824 Activity:high | 10/25 NT was supposed to be much more stable than Win3.x. Then Win2k was
supposed to be much more stable than NT. And now XP is supposed to
be much more stable than 2k. Sigh.
\_ Thing is, Win2k really is more stable than NT. Sure, it locks up
occassionally, but not the seemingly hourly BSODs in NT
\_ Also, XP supposedly "does away with the decades-old DOS fundamentals
