Reply to Gmail Makes Other Netmail Companies Cry... in Internet WinCustomize Forums

Zoomba - I am not afraid of Gmail...please - was that necessary? I was making a statement on what I see as an invasion of privacy that permeates our entire society as a whole, and the reason I don't use Gmail myself: Gmail just happened to be the "product" that was being discussed here. Goodness! please use whatever you choose - I have already

Reply to Gmail Makes Other Netmail Companies Cry... in Internet WinCustomize Forums

the only point I am trying to make: it is an invasion of privacy. I am not talking about the contents of the emails or trying to hide anything from anyone or that there are "secrets" to be gained by scannning the email, or even if it is going to sold to a third-party (or some alien overlord): I did not say/imply any of those things. Even by agreeing to the contract it is still an invasion of privacy: just because someone agrees to

It's amazing how our paranoia over security and privacy went wild with the growth of the web, when these issues have existed for ages already. Actually, I think people are waking up that were very complacent about privacy and security issues before. Just because these "issues have existed for ages" do

He's saying that his concern over the security of a free email service is minimal. with all due respect Zoomba, what exactly is minimal? any invasion of privacy is unacceptable. it is not okay to say "sure invade my privacy a little" then try to aruge for rights as Jafo points out when it no longer su

I think alot of this merger has to do with the up-coming release of a few different Microsoft products, one would compete with pdf, the other with flash. It worries them because they know MS will but their pdf like product into office which makes sure everyone is exposed to it. There version of flash on the other hand, its rumour

I am like Zero - I tend to be more aware of what I say and how I say it when on the Internet or Emailing...Zero accused me of being "too damn nice" the other day Of course, in a face to face I have a little less restraint in what I say and make it very clear how I feel - something I am working on - while it is good to express onesself, there are ways to do it that a

2) Disable windows firewall. You have a router! NOT a good idea... if one is using a router one should also have a firewall running on each computer connected to the internet. It is possible that two different pieces of software are trying to control how the networks are managed on the laptop:

I simply thought it was quite an interesting article and worth sharing, 3/4 of the corporate computing world is quite a large number you must admit. I agree the number is high. However, I stand by the fact that it is the ISV's responsibility to make sure their software remains up to date and they ensu

Reply to Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 deployed in only 25% of corporate PCs in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

As you know Zero, I too have had no issues with SP2. I don't think MS was "hiding" anything from the consumer, the reason that the corporate IT departments haven't rolled it out is because of legacy software and such - which I am sure you are aware. For the consumer this would generally not be an issue and there would be no reason for a consumer to test each individual update to ensure that it runs on their computer. I have been thinking abo

azdruid - yes I am familiar with Thurrott - that is where I get my info. And there is no indication that they have cut anything else, so no I don;t know that they have... why are you being so quick to bash something you haven't even used yet...? Raymond

You alldo know that gmail scans your emails and pops up targeted advertising according to what it scans right? yep...that is why I do not use it either...I do not need someone telling me what I should or shouldn't buy based on my email.

I too am anxious for Longhorn and was very disapointed when MS said they'd cut out so much. As far as I am aware azdruid the only thing that was "cut" was the WinFS and that was so Longhorn could meet its May 2006 Launch Date - my understanding is that WinFS will be released after Longhorn is thoug

No disrespect noted, at all.. I also was very surprised at my discovery and felt quite foolish when I made it. Now I am going to charge that MS is reading this board and they changed the updates just to embarass me! to get even for my labeling them the "Evil Empire" It coulda happened!..LoL Thanks..

azdruid - I meant no disrespect...really. I was simply pointing out that I have had no performance issues with any of my boxes (which I build myself) or my laptop. I have no problem with the speed of WinXP with the sys stats I posted earlier, as I said I run a lot of "eye candy software", Dreamweaver, Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro 8, and more. I like Outlook because as you point out it meets my needs. I work in a corporate environment and it allo
