That breaks the Web." so, by extension, ANY web page should never be erased? Or do blogs enjoy some sort of special exempt status? I don't think I agree. What is the next step, a web page should never be edited? 2007-01-17T17:04:29.311+01:00 2007-01-17T17:04:29.311+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=acidzebra&conv=367469&comment_id=5158083 Michiel "Compare that to Shakespeare who only wrote 884,647 words" yeah, that doesn't sit well. What are you saying? That you choose quantity over quality? That in a few hundred years time people are going to be learning these blog posts in school and performing them badly on stage? (Bwahahaha!) And with all due respect, what meaningless statistics. How about top word frequency? Most egrarious spelling and grammar mistakes? (Personally, I hate the 'But, ...' start of a sentence which you do frequently, very ugly) Least used letter and/or word? If you are going to statistical analysis you might as well get some fun facts. 2006-12-31T04:33:47.741+01:00 2006-12-31T04:33:47.741+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=acidzebra&conv=363174&comment_id=5043985 Michiel Thank you for that 101 ethics class; I wish real life were that simple :P Anyway a) BUTT-ugly notebook with the little ferrari logo, I wouldn't be seen dead with it b) a very strange tactic to promote your new OS c) a lame move to backpeddle like that if it is true d) not much else to see here Anyway, since I manage a considerable fleet of XP workstations I decided to review the lifecycle policy on XP here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle/default.mspx Hey, that is weird, I am sure that it said something different last time I checked. Lovely, a variable end-of-life policy? That is what your customers want! So thank a random deity for archive.org: 200501: http://web.archive.org/web/20050106090308/http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle/default.mspx 200601: http://web.archive.org/web/20060105060245/http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle/default.mspx 200606: http://web.archive.org/web/20050601085951/http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle/default.mspx It changes every time! Here's our corporate change plan: We won't. XP delivers what the business needs: a relatively stable unified platform for people to do their goddamned job on. We turn off all the XP bells and whistles through group policy so it looks similar to and has all the configuration options in the same place as windows 2000 (whoever thought 'redesigning' the control panel was a good idea should be shot). 2006-12-28T14:39:42.800+01:00 2006-12-28T14:39:42.800+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=acidzebra&conv=143529&comment_id=1831188 Michiel Heh, I just realised I said marketers and wise in the same sentence. I slay me. 2006-09-01T23:56:52.818+02:00 2006-09-01T23:56:52.818+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=acidzebra&conv=143529&comment_id=1831181 Michiel Wow. So much hate over a startup sound. If Microsoft's marketers are wise they would take a good long look at this thread. fun items: - there are still people that spell Microsoft as Micro$oft. How lame. - People complain that it would be bothersome when the startup sound goes off when booting in a meeting. To you I say: boot a friggin' computer in MY meeting and I'll smack you good. We're in a meeting. - The guy who cut the wires of the speakers. I actually did this in the DOS era because of the annoying beep. Well, I took the connector off the main board. Seemed less destructive. Anyway, people seem quite passionate about having a choice about a startup sound. It reminds me of a domain policy one of our admins once pushed out that forced a corporate background and screensaver; nearly started a riot. Seems people really cherish these little modifications. Like fonts. :P 2006-09-01T23:54:18.302+02:00 2006-09-01T23:54:18.302+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=acidzebra&conv=143529&comment_id=1726626 Michiel "A spiritual side of the branding experience" *puke* 2006-08-25T07:30:06.957+02:00 2006-08-25T07:30:06.957+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=acidzebra&conv=8572&comment_id=14510 Michiel I would just file all that noise under 'various artists'. But that is because I would be REALLY reluctant to add 'sesame street' as an artist ;) Your server is really getting hammered with the Digg today... 2006-02-20T23:23:27.124+01:00 2006-02-20T23:23:27.124+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=acidzebra&conv=2356&comment_id=4495 Michiel Fascinating stuff. RIAA and MPAA execs should be forced to read this blog, instead of learning about the eeeevils of piracy from equally clueless consultants. 2006-02-09T14:38:01.242+01:00 2006-02-09T14:38:01.242+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=acidzebra&conv=597&comment_id=1162 Michiel Yeah, it would seem you're a tad behind the curve on this one: http://del.icio.us/acidzebra Then again, it's not WHEN you discover a service that can make your online life easier, its how you use it! :P Here are some interesting visualisation experiments using del.icio.us you might enjoy once you have some content: http://www.ivy.fr/revealicious/ http://www.zitvogel.com/delicioussoup/ http://www.siderean.com/facetious/facetious.jsp http://hublog.hubmed.org/archives/001050.html http://hublog.hubmed.org/archives/001049.html http://maps.pietrosperoni.it/delicious/makemap.html http://kevan.org/extispicious.cgi ps. man this cocomment stuff rocks! 2006-02-06T07:49:45.464+01:00 2006-02-06T07:49:45.464+01:00
