	I've only had to relogin once and have not gotten those mismatch errors.

	Welcome to the MSFN!

	Awww I liked Clippy.

	My best guess is that today is when MS starts putting together the mailing to send RTM media out and will likely get it by the end of the month. We won't know for sure until official word comes out.

				What's the deal with browsers recently?
Tripredacus replied to GrofLuigi's topic in General Discussion
You forget IE6 was released way, way back in 2001 (3 years before Firefox 1.0, fwiw). It was the most standards-compliant browser of it's day, with the only other real clients available en masse being Opera and Netscape (which was crap by this point). I'm not saying IE6 was perfect (like keeping the broken 5.x CSS2 layout, etc), but it was the most standards-compliant browser available in it's day, in late 2001. At that time no shipping browser really supported CSS2 in any real, meaningful way (other than IE, Opera had decent CSS2 support, but even then not as much as IE6), and DOM2 wasn't ratified until 4 months before the IE6 beta if my memory serves, meaning IE6 didn't have support for it either (and to be fair, it took a few years for the others to get support for it as well, Opera 6 or 7 in 2003, again if I remember; a little fuzzy on the versions).It's the 6 years Microsoft sat on IE6 without changing much of anything, and the fact that IE7 wasn't really a big leap in compliance with standards at the time either, that makes IE6 (and to a point, IE7) so "bad". Ultimately, I think people complaining about IE6 "sucking" and not being standards-compliant aren't complaining that it *was* horrible, they're complaining that it's still a pain to continue to support along with better browsers. I, for one, would love it if Microsoft would drop support for "old" browsers at 5 years (when the OS it shipped on leaves mainstream support, for example) rather than 10, because the way the web moves a 10 year old browser really *is* crap to have to support. Or, even better, treat it as a service pack - 24 months after the next one releases, drop mainstream (unpaid, non-premier) support for the old browser and "force" people to upgrade. I agree. I remember when only IE 6 supported XSLT. Then IE7 didn't support it which is why I never upgraded at home. - 
	
	
				Problems with applications through Alteon switch....
Tripredacus replied to oyvind_s3's topic in Networks and the Internet
The 404 Error is a response that comes from the webserver, so its definately not a problem of the clients not being able to communicate with the server. If the clients couldn't communicate, they would get a different message, and not a return code at all. Your webserver should be logging all codes. Check the instances of 404 responses and see what URLs or resources were trying to be accessed. - 
	Its possible. I have some eval ones from MSI, but they are totally unbranded. They are made for private label. I still like the EEE PC better tho.

	I haven't run into this Bluebirds thing myself yet. Congrats on your first system! If you go into My Controls (up top) you can edit your profile to put your OS in so it shows up on your posts.

	Hallo, We do not have any localised forums and English is the primary language at MSFN. When posting, use a translator like Altavista or Google or other service to post in English. We will try our best to read the translated post.

				MAG - Massive Action Game PS3 w/ 256 Players Online?
Tripredacus replied to Redhatcc's topic in Gamers Hangout
Hopefully it does well and it doesn't turn into a newbfest. I hate multiplayer games now because the players are a lot younger now then they were when I remember it being good. One downfall of everyone owning a computer or having an internet connection. - 
	Nope, the U100 comes with 2GB RAM, but its SODIMM. You can replace it if it goes bad. Unless you have some weird one thats different than what I use. I've got the MS-N0111X-044US (9S7-N01162-044), which is the barebone model. Perhaps the retail model (MSI sells retail and bareboard versions of all their mobile and integrator products) has this built in? Everything on mine (I have 3 atm) is replaceable, even the CPU. I would never actually replace anything if it went bad, because I could just RMA the whole thing. But you know what? I'm gonna take a look at mine and see for sure. EDIT: Hey sorry Zenskas, you are correct. That really sucks and I didn't know that before. I took mine apart and took a look myself. So I gotta go get this knowledge out to the dudes in sales.

	Hi Do not crosspost.
 - 
	I think its funny that the OP says top 10, but everyone just picks 5.
 - 
	I'm not sure how old that system is, but it used to be common practice to have onboard RAM. Of course the last system I encountered it on had 4MB onboard...
 - 
	Yep this is the place!
 - 
	Its not funny at all, its horrible. But let me add my own to this topic. - Laibach - Drvaza - Dead Kennedys - Holiday In Cambodia - Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science - Billy Idol - White Wedding - Iron Maiden - Wasted Years There's way too many, so I just picked the first few I could think of. SCIENCE!
 - 
	I agree. Its a big mix for me too. I now use Maxtor ATA and WD SATA at home, and at work its Seagate and WD.
 - 
	Please, PLEASE, let Microsoft Bob RIP

	The Final Countdown is done by a band called Europe. as for myself: Soulfly - Tribe

	I wont know about the Win7 PE until it hits RTM. I have the Beta installed but no time to use it yet. 2008 R2 isn't RTM yet. I'm not entirely sure, but you may be using the packages wrong. You may be adding WDS packages to a straight PE maybe... I haven't tried using those packages yet, but to do an unattended install from WDS you need two answer files. I have/had a project on this here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=130994 But until 2008 R2 is RTM i can't proceed further because I require DataImage to work.

				Using Python
Tripredacus replied to dosworld's topic in Programming (C++, Delphi, VB/VBS, CMD/batch, etc.)
Its true of most programming languages. I think the problem stems from the fact that we know multiple languages, and each one is a little different and we seem to forget this automatically. Its perfectly normal to have to look up syntax, because sometimes we just make mistakes. This is true even of things you may know very well. I recommend that you make notes of what things fixed certain issues, as this will help you learn it faster. Or at least it does for me. Also, if you are unsure of how to do something specific, see if you can find an open source or example program that does a similar thing. Take a look at how that person coded it and adapt those ideas in your code. - 
	In some cases it may be cheaper to get a whole new system, or if its an older unit, perhaps another of the same model.
