While I was aware of the expression, I must say that I didn't know that the original "Larry" was a boxer. He was actually an Australian called Larry Foley apparently, and the phase originated there rather than in the UK. He boxed in the late 1800s, and apparently never lost a fight!

I finally managed to get also new versions of Basilisk work on windows NT 4.0 with my kernelex, now they work new versions of firefox too (up to 52.0 for now). The first release will be in the fist term of July.

Yes. We've noticed that issue with all attachments, since MSFN came back online. xper is working on it, and surely the downloads will be working again. Sorry for the inconvenience!

"The Taming of the Crap" A neighbor has an HP laptop with With 10 and yes, he thought that all his computer world was lost. The normal desktop was gone (The Sky is Falling!). Just a normal bit of crap. Tablet mode on a non-tablet PC. However, the OS had never been Userized. Win update had faulted trying to go to 1803 from 1709. Some original app software that came with the new PC was blocking the update to go cleanly. Housekeeping to clean out the offender fixed that. Brought in other browsers with Ghostery to start the PC lock down. Removed other outdated apps, ran Malwarebytes and Windows Defender and surprisingly both ran error free. Added several apps to the Taskbar for easy user control. Updated to Version 1803, OS Build 17134.81. Then went into Settings and turned off most of the info gathering and free roam app software (Run in background stuff). Helped neighbor understand how to use his now locked down PC. He was happy that he didn't lose his pictures and stuff. Yes, would have done the Win 7 thing but that was not an option so his Win 10 is now good enough for his needs. Now, on the home front. The MacBook of late 2006 vintage was a BootCamp Windows Insider test laptop. Did put an SSD in it but it is maxed out at OS X 10.7.5 and it runs faster than most of the Dell laptops also used for Insider testing here. However, decided to "Retire" the BootCamp Windows 10 to the released 1803, 17134.81. Used Media Creation Tool to bring down what I thought was the released Win 10 but it installed as 1803, 17134.1. Found that there is an update, KB400403, which I downloaded and installed. Now it is at the normal 1803 release level. Did all of the lock down procedures from above as well as a CCleaner run. Now the challenge is to withdraw the PC from Insider mode. I'm led to believe that the withdrawal procedure can take a few weeks. Just another adventure on "The Crap Trail." PS: Windows 10 Insider Preview releases ran the cleanest and fastest on the Apple MacBook.

One of the few, if not the only, things MS has always been consistent with, AFAICR, are the so called "cumulative updates", which, nowadays, apply almost only to browser updates, but once applied to othe components, too. Now, KB4019276 is not cumulative, but both KB4316682 and KB4230450 are so. Hence, KB4230450 ought to supersede both KB4316682 and KB4109276, because it must include updated versions of the files and registry entries from both KB4019276 and KB4316682. Of course, there's then Murphy's law, and this one might be the feather that breaks the camel's back, so to say... one never knows unless we check (and then Schröndiger even goes on to say that even after checking we cannot really know what was there before...) so, just to remain on the safe side I'll state YMMV.

I can be wrong but (as far as I remember from deleted posts) You need to use /overwriteoem switch while installing kernel updates on one of Your systems.

YOUTUBE starts on KM74-Goanna on Win98 First I had only that endless spinning icon too. Then googled for Youtube+Palemoon, gives some good results, like this: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=17443#p127757 Different users needed different solutions, but all seem CODEC related. So messed around with codecs and settings. Finally it started playing. On my box that means about 1 frame/5 secs, exactly like Opera12.02, but it does its best ;-) ==== What I need or youtube keeps SPINNING ===== UNINSTALL in K-Lite Codec pack "DirectX mpg4 decoder" (page3) Roy's Lav codec pack into KM root folder (had it already, just in case / PS: my cpu has SSE2) Useragent must contain "Firefox" media.autoplay.allowscripted = true permissions.default.media = 1 (all) javascript.enabled = true kmeleon.flashblock = false (bug? this blocks html5 too, even if flashblock.html5video.blocked=false) 3rd party scripts can remain blocked. And no XHR needed, no cookies, no referer, no popups, no DomStorage, no Objects A working UA example: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:38.8) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.8 (PS: Separate threads for KM and Palemoon would be much handier, less 'disorganised'...)

since PM28 is still in alpha stage, it is still sneak peek release here.

What I do now is ignore this crap called an OS and stick to Windows 7...I spend enough time fixing customers computers with it installled.... This latest update starts with tons of questions and many of my customers are freaking out because they just don't understand what to do...and even if I try to expalain on the telephone...doesn't always work.... Shame on Microsoft with all this crap!!! bookie32
