SFB Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 My favorite one was "Google was the best idea from Mircosoft in along time..."OMG, were could you even get an idea like that. I didn't even say anything back, I just went into shock... give me awhile to thing about what happened.I bet if you told them that MSN stood for Microsoft Search Network and Microsoft couldn't own Google because they already have a search engine that is compeating against it, they would be like nope why would Microsoft compete against itself and go on believing that google is owned by MicrosoftMSNBC = Microsoft Network with the National Broadcasting Corporation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I bet if you told them that MSN stood for Microsoft Search NetworkI believe that MSN just stands for the MicroSoft Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFB Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I believe that MSN just stands for the MicroSoft Network. yep your right...silly me, i'm like everyone else that wants a word for every letter of an abbreviation. i suppose soft is a word but yet it is part of another word. lol think how dumb it would sound to say "talk to you on MN" or "hey you finally got MN" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 or maybe MN would have been more obvious and people would have avoided using something for Microsoft Network...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 That's just Microsoft's convention, the same reason they called "their" disk operating system MS-DOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFB Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 That's just Microsoft's convention, the same reason they called "their" disk operating system MS-DOS.wow we are getting off topic but there is one more thing that factored into their abbreviation MSN. MN is the abbreviation of a state! the very state i live in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 MS is the whole reason this topic exists...if their stupid browser didn't execute garbage code then this situation would never have happened.Can;t wait for IE6 to gone. I am counting down the days til Vista and IE7 are released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Every single decently complex software application ever released by anyone has had bugs. It's not specific to Microsoft, it happens to everyone. There will be bugs, and people will work around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Vista looks like it will have a few new, cool features, but it is mostly just going to be eye candy. Requiring a 256Mb video card (512 recommended) a lot more horsepwer then previous versions of windows. Although I believe it "downgrade" automaticaly if you don't have hte hardware to support the nice graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caligo Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Well, Vista, IE or whatever else Microsoft can make/break....it doesn't matter, it's still really funny that myspace went down cause of one dude...with style at that :)though, i must admit, vista does look pretty cool, now to wait and see if they can make it work right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Well, they already cut most of the features I was looking forward too, like a database file system. That would have been really cool, search the whole computer in seconds. We'll see what they manage to come up with, I'm not sure if it's going to make a lot of people upgrade though, especially businesses that will have to upgrade all of their hardware as well. That's a good thing about XP, I can get a copy of that and install it on some of the older machines here and set it up to use the minimum amount of resources it needs, and disable a lot of useless services that are enabled by default, and it will typically run programs faster than Windows 2000.

aspnetguy Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 true, you are right, holes like this force programmers to be more aware of potenial problems and does in the end produce more secure applications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruud Hermans Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Every programmer should have read at least a few books about hacking applications and/ore websites a good book that deals with this subject is called "The hackers black books".Ruud hermans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
