All the more reason to use Acrobat.com's Cloud. Wait a minute.......HEY!

SoundExchange

If you want a lesson in how never to provide CONTENT (I am no guru on visual design) on a website, you need and try to read the flash-only, non-zoomable text web site of SoundExhange. I need say nothing more.

they have re-designed it since I last posted by this date, and yet they still insist on crap-coding - look how their flash-only scroll bar shoves 5% of the left AND right of the whole page out of the window frame! Part of their logo is chopped off on the left, and their contact info to the right.

Morons - and they want even more money from small internet broadcasters! They don't deserve the regulations they have "fought" for.

Who owns Purehost.com ?

We think it might now be CrystalHost or CrystalHosting.com

So now you ask, "Who cares, and why are they all in one list?". The Answer: Because their Backup & Restore policies are IDENTICAL - which is fine, but unless they are violating copyright laws through rampant plagiarizing - unlikely - then they are (and in fact are) all one corporate umbrella. But the policy?

Answer:

"
Backup / Restore

1. WhomeverIsInTheAboveList.com does not maintain backup copies of Customer Web sites or e-mail.
2. WhomeverIsInTheAboveList.com cannot guarantee that the contents of a Web site will never be deleted or corrupted, or that a backup of a Web site will always be available.
3. We ALWAYS recommend that Customers copy all content of a Web site to a local computer and strongly suggest that Customers make an additional copy (on tape, CD, multiple floppies, another desktop, or elsewhere) to ensure the availability of the files."

Identical, as in all other parts of any one of these companies' agreements. Also identical is engineering, Level 1 2 and 3 Tier support personnel and companies - all shifts. 1st shift is outsourced to India (what a surprise), 2nd shift is outsourced to a company in California, and 3rd shift happens to be handled by Purehost.com itself - for all of these companies - the corporate alliances have changed a bit from whence cam PureHost via SprintHost via DellHost (remember that nightmare?)

iPhone Unlocked + Apple's iPhone update 1.1.1 = APPLE is a MORON

iPhone Unlocked + Apple's iPhone update 1.1.1 = iDoorstop or the iBrick (there has to be more) and a damned illegal thing for Apple to have done to its iPhone users! Yes, it is actually illegal (it's punitive).

DO NOT UPDATE YOUR iPHONE with 1.1.1 if you have "unlocked" your iPhone* and installed any 3rd party apps on it, which is, by the way, legal for OWNERS of iPhones to do - the Supreme Court said 3rd party apps installed on devices is exempt.

UN-INSTALL all 3rd party apps

RE-LOCK your iPhone to "day one" status (if you unlocked it properly, you WILL be able to do this!)

THEN update with iPhone update v1.1.1

THEN RE-UN-LOCK your iPhone.

THEN Re-Install your favorite 3rd party apps.

WARNING = this is LIKELY to work and still leave your iPhone usable and with your added 3rd party apps re-installable.

The method above will HAVE to be re-done for EVERY future iPhone update.
------------------------------------

You WILL have to update it anyway, just do it right. If you do it wrong, or if you do not update, then parts of your iPhone will stop working before your very eyes.

Ah, and Speaking of French Apple Pie Waste:
(were we?)

It seems the French company Vivendi is complaining of Apple's iStore charging too much for songs.....give it up, Frenchie, you know you can - you are experts in surrendering. So, surrender to your Bitch-master, Vivendi, and wine no more.

I am not french.

ustream.tv

How dare you, ustream.tv ? How DARE you?

Using java (just to have a chat) is stupid.

Your signup page does not work.

Your servers suck (only 650 simultaneous users and then CRASH ? Come on!)

You advertise "

• ZERO tolarence for Inappropriate Behaviour

Huh? If I PAY for a service, I will be the judge.

How DARE you?

(BTW, learn how to spell please - you'll do muh better. Almost every page on your site has horrible spelling errors)

Should I pick Modeling, Campus Safety, or User Support Tech for my new career?

Should I pick Modeling, Campus Safety, or User Support Tech for my new career?

OK, putting a computer in my hands is like putting a loaded gun in Barney Fife's hand, I know how to walk a runway, and I don't go for ladies much under 25 years old.

So I guess I will pick User Support Technician. I don't know why - it just seems like a good direction. (On the plus side, I can be my own boss. "Be your own boss?", you say, "Yes. Be my own boss", I say back to you - although being your own boss is kind of like being your own uncle - I can be my own boss, because no one is going to tell me I have to "ghost" someones hard drive when I know all I need do is put in a bootable linux device and change one or two registry settings in Windows, Macs are even easier to fix, and then reboot; thereby saving an administrator's hard work saved for years)

Illinois State Agency Web Standards do not work

There is absolutely zero excuse for the following website to be down:

http://www100.state.il.us/iwas/


The page we get:

Server Error

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

JRun closed connection.

-------------------end

HA! Unbelievabull. Who is their ISP? Idiots anyway - FIX THE LICENSING ISSUES MORONS! GET THE CORRECT VERSION AND YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THIS ERROR.

The page is supposed to inform us of Illinois Web Accessibility Standards (talk about your handicapped websites)

First of all, IMHO, CLC should have an injunction against Illinois as to our "agency" status, until our "agency" status can be proved or disproved or NOT approved.

NO college should ever be considered a "State Agency". Gavoyabitch, you IDIOT!
(I would be more vocal, but I am not registered again, but will be soon all because Ron Lackey is running for CLC Board of Directors - Lackey and Lumber or Lackey and Barb O,, just say no to Lumber AND Barb O).

If CLC is considered a state agency, then web standards of the state for everybody, but NOT UNTIL THE DAMNED WEBSITE WORKS THAT IS SUPPOSED TO EXPLAIN WHAT THOSE STANDARDS ARE! Sweet, sweet irony, folks!

Trillian forum support vs. actual support

The amount of ad-hominem heaped on DanKirkD by this amoeba character is not to believed:

I'm not violating any of the numerous NDAs I've signed to provide you with any more information than I've already provided. The fact that I've had conversations and I've posted in this thread should indicate (not cause perception ) that this problem isn't being ignored.

The bug isn't a game but this thread has turned into one. I can tell that you're the kind of person who'll continue badgering the issue until you get the answer you're looking for as opposed to being satisfied with an answer. I've posted a number of times that your implications are unfounded and I've conveyed the fact that I've spoken with Scott about the problem. The fact that you're continuing to question me is getting old.

Bottom line (and last word) is that the bug has been posted in this forum. I've also made the development team aware of it (and posted that they're working on resolving the problem, which is the answer). As I've said several times now, once a fix is in place, it will be made available.

MSN Reconnect - Why isn't this fixed yet?
Regarding this bug: http://forums.ceruleanstudios.com/sh...threadid=76781

Why isn't this fixed yet?

I'm a developer myself and the fact that a bug like this can exist in a commercial piece of software for a year and a half is totally unacceptable. If this was a bug in a piece of code I'd written, I'd expect to be fired or at least severely bitched out for not resolving it sooner.

Amoeba's answers in the other thread just skirt around the issue at hand instead of providing a solid reason as to why this bug still exists. DanKirkd provided a valid workaround as a temp hack, yet Amoeba ignores that and attacks DanKirkd for bringing the issue up.

So, the question at hand... Why isn't this fixed yet and when can a patch be expected?

If you guy's aren't able to reproduce the problem on your side, let us know! Work with the community instead of providing halfassed "we are working on it" responses. I'll gladly help with debugging as I can guarantee that the time I'll spend on that is less then I've spent manually reconnecting every ****ing time I've moved my laptop for the last year and a half.

Well. I am at a loss for words. [That should be a shock to anyone who knows me]
