Parah Salin is back in Alaska hunting for terrorists w


I guess the GOP told her they were an endangered species?

I've heard that someone from the 'nix universe has helped to tame the
UAC prompts in Vista -

For a moment there I wondered what a hi-res Linux Security Guru was!

UAC will no longer be a PITA in Windows 7. w

Actually I am fairly sure I was able to disable it in Home Premium - or when
I was setting that one up I'd probably have thrown the computer through the
window, eventually. I suspect that is where the name comes from and it was
just seredipity that the boxes one worked with in the GUI were kind of
window-like too. So if you can disable it in Home Premium - and therefore
Home Basic (?), one I have zero experience of - then what annoys the seventh
circle out of me is the attitude that puts UAC there in the first place.

And just in case anyone cares, yes Windows 95 original began blue screening
one AVG was half updated. And I spent all last night setting OSR2 up to it's
own drive as opposed to in VPC, and it was doing really well until the
keyboard went crazy. I figured the fact it is a USB keyboard (and mouse. And
modem if the router should pack up. Etc) then perhaps I should install the
USB patches, at which point the blue screening started in that one, too. I'd
already performed open heart surgery to remove the firewall drivers, to get
it booting again. So sad when for long periods (i.e. hours!) it was running
pretty sweet. Indeed, 98se goes much the same way if I try to install the HP
drivers. The only problem Me seems to have - apart from the glaring
security-related ones - is the old more-than-a-gig-of-RAM one that we know
how to fix. But I don't suppose it will be long before no modern computer
will run any version of 9x, not through any design of Microsoft, but because
the hardware is just too powerful.

So I bury 95, but take 98se some grapes (but eat them myself).
