Thanx

Well, today's my birthday. Nothing but good news... First time EVER!

Anyways, I guess I should announce that I have been posted to the U.S.S. Excaliber.

Big surprise? Didn't think so.

::starts singing Happy B-day to self::

Yes, they are sort-of long, especially the personal ones.

I have two cats, old. But are fun to play with.

They look cute A9, made a good choice there.

Ah, politics has got a hold of good old Paramount, eh?

It's a good idea, but no.

Disclamer: No offense is aimed at Paramount Corp. or Viacom.

I would like to have "Reaching out into the future." As mine please.

Still, It's kind of a hassle.

Well, you have a good idea. But what about us poor souls who don't have UPN? (I'm speaking for the people, not myself, though I don't have UPN.) We rely on the descriptions so we can see what's going on. Plus, we won't remember the description anywho when it comes out in syndication.

Grom didn't lose interest. He's just lost in the boards, that's all

I dunno, it could have been 4. It's been a while. My regraduation took a bit longer.

but very, very, very, very (did I say very?) few graduate after only three. ;)

unfortunately, I did it in that time the first time ::hides himself::

It reminds me of ChatSpace, evil and graphic.

Rule #4 of acquiring information: If you cannot find it on the resource Internet pages, start looking on message boards.

Here's an Idea, watch two series a day and when you're done with that, then do the movie marathon. Easier to digest.

Himilayas? Well, I guess I should save up my money then

When people read this, I ask for a moment of tribute to his "miracle working".

All hail our great engineer.

Listen to the Yeti. By the way, are we supposed to go to Canada to play these sports?

Well, I'd be interested in about 6 months when I start looking for a new e-mail. But, I'm happy with my 100MB Yahoo inbox thank you very much.

I hope Picard will be all right. Oh well

And we still have a mini-version of it today in XP systems. I remember having a computer with only Windows 3.1 (It used to have 95, but viruses eventually made me switch to 3.1) and DOS 6.22 and only 8 MB of RAM.

Ah, good times, gooood times.

I think you know my position already. See Windows XP SP2 on the boards.

But I also miss DOS, it was so easy to use.

Welcome to the grinder Sketti.

And on that academy note...can we please have a Academy sim at 7:00 CDT, please?

I disagree with that. WinXP SP2 is an important security update that fixes basic design flaws (not "bugs," which are introduced inadvertently, but actual purposeful design flaws) in the operating system and some of its components. One of those was including a firewall, but deactivating it. Another was defaulting Outlook Express to run any attachment that came in email. Another was allowing IE components to be added without the user's knowledge. Other design flaws in XP: Windows Messenger... ActiveX... The "Universal Plug and Play" server (used by few, on by default). All of this from a company that patented the insecure web browser (I'm not kidding, go to The US Patent and Trademark Office, look up patent # 6,662,341).

Most of those you listed are security fixes, and I agree. It won't stop spyware. But, it will stop most Microsoft-oriented virus attacks.

And, Atragon, I guess we are double-geeks.
