The mention of seroquel was a hint for something you might want to look into for yourself, or perhaps a nice slow acting benzo like clonazepam.


You're so concerned about those things that it bothers you even when other people don't use an anti-virus program!

Sorry, I only use mind-altering drugs for recreational purposes. You, however, must either take those things or know some crazy person that does to be so familiar with the subject.

I tried to find you some medication to cure you from being a douche-bag, but such a thing doesn't seem to exist yet!

I laughed really hard at the above post.

Having worked in a state pen for 5 years tends to lend one to becoming very familiar with heavy anti-psychotics considering the % of the inmates with severe mental illness.

I'd say you've gone beyond recreational. Have you had an evaluation to confirm the permanent neurological damage you suffer from?

It bothers me regarding AV/security only in so far as your behavior affects other people... infected machines infecting other peoples machines. There was a recent spate of hotmail account hijacking going on caused by users with infected computers and their lax attitude (or willful ignorance) regarding security.

And thanks but no medication needed. I am and will always prefer to remain an a$$hole.

Back on topic here, IE9 is a huge turd. I went back to IE8 here at work when I noticed it doesn't work correctly with all of our Sharepoint 2010 sites.

I wouldn't say it's a huge turd for us, it fixed numerous thread lock issues with IE7 and IE8 with an in-house IE-based application. Runs vastly better now.

That hardly makes it a 'huge turd'.

I am very happy about this news actually.

I am a web application developer for a major company that slowly accepts newer technologies mainly due to cost. Currently I must have testing make sure IE6-IE8 still works since our company is centralized to Win XP Pro and we have 300k+ users. They are major pusher (thankfully) and funder of FireFox.

The saddest thing about IE8 even is the debugger is absolute garbage in it and no one seems to have a decent one. Web developers use FireFox or Chrome to develop/debug not IE.

IE6 can be painful but modern programming toolkits make it pleasant with minimal fuss to have full functioning rich apps that I doubt they even dreamed of in 1999 or so when IE6 was written up.

Is that with customized SharePoint or off the shelf stuff?

You're about 10 years out of the loop on that meme.

All I can do is rave about XP as a Great stable OS with no real problems along with this IBM. I will miss using XP along with this solid and dependable, last of the line, original IBM's, when their retirement comes soon.

Too bad IBM is out of the laptop business because this machine is the best I've ever had. I might look into Lenovo as a replacement, when the time comes, if their quality is as good as this IBM has been.


They are the best by far. I keep recommending people Lenovo T-series because they are the predecessor. They are excellent as well. I bought my mother a T60P used earlier this year and the thing is great. Good build quality and stable as can be. It is branded "Lenovo"

Since XP is no longer supported, there is no need for it to run IE9.

I went to Win 7 when it came out, and haven't looked back.

Though, for nostalgia, I still have win 95/98/XP/Vista.

And IIRC, XP wasn't all that great when it first came out either.

 

[JoeWGauss]

Windows XP IS supported until 2014 by MS.

 

[Trajan]

I didn't know that. Good to know.

Oh no! The anti-virus police is also the loop police! So many self-important organizations are out to get me! I must buy aluminum foil and pharmaceutical medication to prevent the demise of myself and my ancient computer!

Definitely a +1 on the medication for you. You seem to have some issues. Have you thought about therapy?

Ignorance is bliss.

I was one of the many long standing holdouts and refused to switch from XP to Vista after seeing the results my brother had with it. Then when 7 arrived I was hesitant once again. I had built a Core i7 system last year with 6GB of RAM and wasn't able to take full advantage of everything my new system had to offer because of the limitations XP imposes on the user. I finally talked myself in to moving from 32bit XP to 64bit 7 about two months ago and still want to slap myself for wasting so many months sticking with XP. People like what they understand and know but have no idea what they're missing.

It's pretty funny to see how hostile some of the responses are in this thread.
