I would also like to know if Microsoft Internet Explorer will ever support XHTML completely. More directly I would like to know if it will ever support the MIME type application-xml
If not then how do they expect to compete with browsers such as Mozilla Firefox which does support it. |

Alright Ready...you are a god and I wanna have your baby.....
now that we got that out of the way.... does Vista really suck? or is that just my retard friends messing with me....(this is year three of me having a pc...so I am clueless since everyone else has had them for friggen decades. my IMPORTANT question... I have several photo editing programs... Windows Paint...obviously Roxio PhotoSuite...on my black berry... Digimax Master...for my cheap assed Samsung camera... that free Kodak Easyshare crap.... WHAT IS THE EASYEST WAY: to cut/copy part of/or overlay part of one photo onto another photo? I am not sure the correct way to even ask the question....all I know for sure...all that between all the fruitless efforts...(copy/paste/size reduction with transparent background carryover)....No matter what I try, it just doesn't look right when I try to make it look like I am naked beside Queen Elisabeth or trying to poke my penis into Hillary during one of her endless campaign snap shots. help a brother out if you can. Seriously, any photo tweaking tips you got will be greatly apprecieated. Thanks! |

Seriously, any photo tweaking tips you got will be greatly apprecieated. Thanks! Try Gimp2 it's free and a pretty good image program. Not a pro on it but I know you can add an image to an other image you can pace/copy/morph/paint/modify + a lot more. |

There is an free AVG but you can also upgrade and pay small amount. Norton seems to slow down the computer too much. Well to start with, it is probably your PC that has the issue, as i am running Norton 2k9 on a P3 600mhz with 256mb of ram, and my machine flys.. no issues.. however, again, AVG will not protect against active Trojan viruses, or variant worms.. Thus i would just not bother with it.. I have tested about 30 different AV's... The Tops for home.. Norton Antivirus 2009/2010 "360 was to much of a killer of system performance. Sophos - provided almost as good security as Norton, but it isnt as polished.. Kasperski - Best protection, but a pain in the *** when it comes to configuring it.. Vipre - Strong performance, but not as secure, contains no firewall Panda - removes virus, trojan, spyware, worms, but doesnt use the normal naming convention, so any manual removals are kinda like guess work. Best for business Symantec endpoint 12 - best.. hands downs.. Trend-Micro, Good protection, not great but provides a great reporting service to help track down where the virus came from Vipre Great, and easy to modify to improve system security Worst anywhere... AVG - cant find worms or active trojans CA-Etrust - no antispyware. firewall, and support is in india Mcafee running this on an identical machine next to norton 360 it made this machine look like a p2. Avaira - cant find trojans Eset - if you thought norton slowed you down try this... what's your take on NOD 32 - I find it's faster and easier to use, not a fan of Norton. Nod32 is Good but not great, if you use Nod32 i would still use www.malwarebytes.org to do occasional scans to make sure you are clean.. I have used Nod in the past and found it works well, on manual scans, but misses locked directories on its auto scan that should be scanned.. Malwarebytes will do this... |

More directly I would like to know if it will ever support the MIME type application-xml If not then how do they expect to compete with browsers such as Mozilla Firefox which does support it. Microsoft as far as i know will not support MIME or XML ever... Unless IE9 has it in development. I am not a Architect so i really don't know. But i know that firefox will not support ActiveX or .Net frame work so for now you will need both to do different things on the web if you run windows. The only people who WILL have major issues with this are the people in Europe who do not get IE packaged with Windows 7. |

Seriously, any photo tweaking tips you got will be greatly apprecieated. Thanks! Ok first.. Yes windows vista does suck.. I am a certified Microsoft Engineer, who does mainly security type work, but i am also a College drop out who was in school for Industrial Engineering, so i know a few programs that are good for photo editing.. Now their are free ones and their are paid ones, and of coarse expensive ones... Depending on how real you want things to look and how automated things you want to seem depends on what you will want to use. Photoshop is not cheap, but will do all of this, but it is also hard to use if you do not have a book, or want to take a class on it. My family uses this to make images, but i cannot figure it out, as it uses cells and graphs to match up images.. Their is also Quark Express which will also do photo-editing, as well as 3d rendering, which makes photo's pop.. Their is also Corel Print shop X2 which is designed for Vista, it is about 50 bucks and can be found here... http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1207602307920?trkid=NASEMGglDI#versionTabview=tab1&tabview=tab0 You can download a free trial to check it out their as well... if you want to try HP photo smart software try.. http://www.hp.com/united-states/consumer/digital_photography/free/software/index.html Ultimately for photo type software you are still Better with a MAC, and it kills me to say that, because i hate them.. |

I would stay away from Picassa, and from Easyshare, the kodak software, as they open ports on your machine which make you more susceptible to viruses... |

any good tips for admin passwords into bank of america or citibank? I just wanna test their security, that's all.  Don't would be the best tip... Within 15min i would have Fed's at your door.. It takes me 30 seconds to get your IP address, Mac address, Your IP route, and another 2min to your ISP.. At which point they give me your Name and address... and i contact your local gov office.. |

Yes, I need a new computer. I do not use my PC except for forums and to research things I am interested in. Not ready to buy a new one yet....the economy sucks right now.  I have a variety of machines that i use in my home.. On the forums right now i am using a C500 Dell laptop, It is a Pentium 3 600mhz It has 256mb of ram It is running symantec Endpoint 11. I have no issues with slowness... If you spec out your machine I will give you a full detailed list as to how to make your machine faster... The only machines i cannot make faster are the celeron based processor machines as they use a bottleneck design that will not allow tweaking. If you simply want a cheap used machine, The company called Microcenter or www.microcenter.com sell machines off of corporate lease. They are generally XP pro machines and under 500 bucks.. I have picked them up for as low as 99.00 dollars... |

OK...OK... So I had a brain-F**t...  This emachine T1150 is 6+ years old, and has been left on 999.99999999% of its' life!!!!! Got my money's worth for sure....  I had just forgot about "Msicuu.exe", because I didn't have it on my thumbdrive...  I just did a "Clean install"...(Only the 2nd time in the life of this emachine!!!!)  Thanks,.... U DA MAN!!!... Glad i can help.. Emachine is Gateway.. one in the same like lexus and toyota.. Leaving a machine on, as long as you have a good surge protector, and do not have the printer plugged into the same strip will actually prolong the life of the machine. The only time it is bad to leave a machine on, is when you start to notice a loud fan noise, which usually indicates the power supply is going.. This is an issue due to the fans keeping things cool running at a slower rate, another good way of keeping the machine running for a long time without failure is to use a can of air and blow all the dust out of the case, and away from the power supply gills that allow air to circulate.. I have machines that i have been running since 02 without ever turning them off... They run Linux, so it is not necessary. Running windows; You should reboot atleast once every 2 weeks, to clear your virtual memory, your machine will actually run faster with the memory cleared.. A good software to help this is... www.Technet.com Do a search for pagedefrag it is part of sysinternals and is a great tool to keep your page file clean... You will instantly notice a performance increase.. |

What are the differences between the academic versions of Windows 7 and the retail versions of windows 7? When I say academic versions I am referring to those that are currently being sold for $29.99 online to students with valid .edu email addresses. I would also like to know why Windows XP home was removed from the market but yet it is still being sold by companies like best buy as the OS that is installed on their nettops and netbooks and they do ont offer upgrades to Windows 7 for free when you buy one new after the release of Windows 7. To be honest from beta-testing this version of windows till the release.. I was lucky enough to be at the conference in Vegas a few years ago, and got the beta about 9 months before Microsoft released it.. I would wait on installing it.. Their are WAY to many bugs in it to upgrade yet.. General "Geek" recommendation is to wait till SP1 at least, or SP2 in business... Windows 7 Home is the "Academic" version, it does not have all the features of 7, nor will it run everything, or use all the visual of 7. Its like XP home was.. Which they stopped releasing in desktops, because it was lacking security, and it was not able to be added to domains, which in my world indicates it is crap.. XP homes Core windows was Windows ME with a New start button.. (XP pro used Windows 2000 and 98se hybrid) They use it on netbooks because it is very light, and will run much faster on a netbook then 7 or vista, or even XP pro will... also the licensing is much cheaper, which keeps the cost of it down.. Honestly after heavy testing i still think XP is much better then Vista or windows 7. Windows XP will run on anything, Windows 7 will not.. Windows Vista has issues with drivers, which windows 7 also has... so in turn, XP is still my best OS from Microsoft.. The server version 2k8 is actually better then 7 and runs on anything.. to bad Microsoft wont wake up.. |

I feel it only pertinent to point out the version of Windows & they are selling students is NOT the Home version. It is in fact the Professional version of Windows 7. I am unsure though if it is the upgrade or the full version. I am also unsure if it is the upgrade if you can upgrade from XP home to Windows 7 or not. It may require XP pro to upgrade it. They are also offering Office 2007 Ultimate for 59.99 as well to students. Is it the same as the retail version or did they limit things like database exporting in access? Basically, what I am trying to find out is are the versions they are selling to students in any way cripple ware? I am very familiar with how Microsoft uses the word Domain as well. Will this student version have any issues connecting to a Microsoft Domain controller? I have worked on Microsoft boxes a long time and while the .net platform is probably the most concise in the world it is also the most bloated software out there as well. I will stick with open source and non Microsoft for all my web server needs. HTML, XHTML, XML, PHP, Java, JavaScript, AJAX, Perl, MySQL are all great languages that meet most of my web needs as a professional web developer. I can always revert to C if need be even if it is Microsoft. It is no wonder that the majority of the web servers in the world are not IIS. here is a great fact to remember. Apache HTTP web server has been the most dominant server since 1996. |

Hey bro! Thanks for the heads up on Kodak Easyshare...I am uninstalling it as we speak....besides...most of my work is far to raunchy to post in thier gallery.
As far as Vista sucking...I will have to take your word for it (apparently everyone elses too) But, I am 41, this is my first pc and I am just trying to teach myself..(besides, the life of a dung beetle ain't bad if you don't realize that there is more out there than just a lump of crap) I dig learning new things. Obviously you know your stuff man. I really apprecieate the info. If you got a minute, go to Arts & Crafts and check out "Krupa's Bizzaratorium"....it is what I do without a pc...but now this pc thing is giving me new tools to work with. Oh yeah....stupid question....How the f*** do I turn of this damned spell check thing? It always assumes that Krupa should be (crap, crappier or crappiest) I hate that friggen thing! |

MSIIS has way to many DCOM issues... and is a pain in the ***.. 2. Their is NO direct upgrade to windows 7. their is a beta tool, but it is not that good.. Their is an upgrade from vista to 7, but not from XP anything.. Im not certain if it is full or the upgrade from vista, i would say to check www.technet.com or, if it turns out to be an upgrade, i'll ftp you a vista trial... which you should be able to upgrade to 7 full... |

It can run from; Office Open Office, Pidgin TGK+ front end Firefox plugin IE Plug in or others... each have different places to turn it off from. i would suggest, just typing out your name, and adding it to the dictionary.. that should fix that issue... Make sure you spell it correctly, and use a Capitol.. |
