schestowitzI installed curlOct 27 00:00
_goblinI agree about the testers giving favorable reports, that seems quite plausable, but then not to know how bad Vista really was...I think it was a case that the realization came after the point of no return.  I believe MS released Vista knowing fully how bad it was but knew that lockin and MS dependency would make a return and they could always say "it will be better next time"Oct 27 00:00
schestowitzI guess i need the php 'version'/wrapperOct 27 00:00
schestowitzhttp://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-init.phpOct 27 00:01
_goblinmaybe the best example of why the software proprietary model is so wrong in respect of your OS.Oct 27 00:01
oiaohm_goblin: vista also was late _goblinOct 27 00:01
oiaohmSo developers were rushing to complete stuff.Oct 27 00:01
_goblinyeah...i know, maybe to patch up the most serious of issues for at least basic functionality....Oct 27 00:01
oiaohmLot of code poor users got never had been before the beta testers either.Oct 27 00:01
_goblinI suffered with Vista for 1 month.... :(Oct 27 00:02
*merriam has quit ("Leaving")Oct 27 00:02
oiaohmand the nice result of that is broken massively.Oct 27 00:02
oiaohmNote the beta testers never had UAC _goblinOct 27 00:02
oiaohmIt was added in the end of the release cycle.Oct 27 00:02
_goblinalready looking at Windows 7 issues, the cracks are begining to show...Oct 27 00:02
oiaohmYou agree UAC was the worse feature of Vista.Oct 27 00:03
_goblinand was UAC as much of a problem as simply not being compatible or stable and being incredibly slow and bloated?Oct 27 00:03
_goblinin respect of those Vista issues I think UAC was a moot point.Oct 27 00:03
oiaohmBasically Vista was very poorly tested.Oct 27 00:03
_goblinagreed.Oct 27 00:03
*merriam (n=merriam@wmerriam.gotadsl.co.uk) has joined #boycottnovellOct 27 00:03
oiaohmAnd poorly tested means you have no clue how good OS will be.Oct 27 00:03
_goblinbut then anyone who's used it will know, you don't have to test it for its problems to show...I saw them on day one.Oct 27 00:04
oiaohmyou are taking a huge leap of faith.Oct 27 00:04
oiaohmVista was pure incompetence in the development system.Oct 27 00:04
schestowitzOct 27 00:05
oiaohmLot of the open source projects are adding larger and large test suites to prevent a vista like mess.Oct 27 00:05
schestowitz[00:02] <_goblin> already looking at Windows 7 issues, the cracks are begining to show...Oct 27 00:05
schestowitz_goblin: post about v7 coming tomorrowOct 27 00:05
schestowitzMany pushbacks start showingOct 27 00:05
schestowitzIn blogsOct 27 00:05
oiaohmIts like the MS file and printer sharing _goblinOct 27 00:05
_goblinand I am wondering if that was not partially intentional....Microsoft didn't count on OS competition so released a half assed OS in order to milk more money three years later.....Oct 27 00:05
oiaohmSamba was giving the internal docs MS used.Oct 27 00:06

schestowitzAnd no real advantagesOct 27 00:06
oiaohmSo samba developers accused MS of creating fake documents _goblinOct 27 00:06
oiaohmTurned out MS did not even have a test suite.Oct 27 00:06
schestowitz_goblin: yes, many games won't workOct 27 00:06
schestowitzWIth or without xpmOct 27 00:06
oiaohmTesting was just plug into network with other windows machines do a few basic tests if it worked it was fine _goblinOct 27 00:07
schestowitzI enjoy seeing reviewsOct 27 00:07
schestowitzVersus Microsoft PROct 27 00:07
_goblinAs I always say if you want a new OS with XP compat, consider linux/wine....its a better choice than 7/xpmOct 27 00:07

fewaso yeah, you are probably rightOct 27 06:32
fewait was only an allegation, i didn't researh itOct 27 06:32
DaemonFCfewa, I paid $18 at WalgreensOct 27 06:32
DaemonFCI have no insurance thoughOct 27 06:32
DaemonFCthe $18 was a better investment than trying to fend off another $10,000 in hospital bills if the swine flu takes me down as hard as I've seen it do to othersOct 27 06:33
DaemonFCfewa, It's $15 if you can find any place that has the shot, that's what runs out firstOct 27 06:34
DaemonFCthey have tons of the nasal spray version, that's $18Oct 27 06:34
DaemonFCrumors going around that the nasal spray doesn't work means a lot of people won't take itOct 27 06:35
DaemonFCfact is that it's just as effective as a shot, and some studies have suggested, more effectiveOct 27 06:35
DaemonFCthey believe that the FluMist nasal spray may offer some immunity to subtypes of flu other than what the vaccine is made forOct 27 06:36
DaemonFCit is worthless in old people thoughOct 27 06:36
DaemonFCthey say don't bother if you're over 49Oct 27 06:36
DaemonFCfewa, My name is still on the waiting list for the shot at the health department, so I'm tossing around the idea of maybe taking that tooOct 27 06:37
DaemonFCcouldn't hurtOct 27 06:37
DaemonFCI think people are just skeptical of anything new, that's why they are refusing the nasal sprayOct 27 06:38
cubezzznasal spray isn't that new :)Oct 27 06:40
DaemonFCcubezzz, 2003, so about 6 years oldOct 27 06:40
DaemonFCpeople have been getting the shot for over 60 yearsOct 27 06:41
cubezzzI'd rather get the nasal spray than a needleOct 27 06:41
DaemonFCcubezzz, I wouldn't bother unless it's all you can findOct 27 06:41
DaemonFCthe shot doesn't even hurtOct 27 06:41
