Why I Dislike Symantec (Oct 15 2003 01:59 GMT) - So, I just got off the phone (a little while ago now) with Symantec Technical Support, and I sit here in front of my computer with a renewed dislike for everything the company does. I don't want to say hate, because I don't really feel like ranting today. I am however, extremely disappointed at the whole mess I went through today. It basically started because one of my clients' wife installed Norton Internet Security 2004 on her home computer. |

cotte : Petit clin d'oeil et tape dans le dos (Oct 15 2003 01:56 GMT) - Ce soir j'étais invitée chez Marcelle_ et Daniel_, en tant réparatrice des petits couacs informatiques qu'ils rencontrent en ce moment. Petit clin d'oeil à Marcelle_ qui, malgré une certaine crainte face à la machine "ordinateur" continue d'apprendre et d'apprendre à son rythme. Grosse tape dans le dos à Daniel_, son mari, qui malgré la soirée cahotique que nous avons passé à essayer de réparer ses problèmes de micro-coupures de réseau depuis son installation ADSL ne m'a pas cassé son ordinateur sur la tête, quand plus rien ne fonctionnait ! 9 heures à bidouller pour en finir à la situation de départ, belle performance malgré tout !!!! J'ai appris ainsi, grâce à ma soirée, outre l'humilité et la prise de conscience de mes nombreuses incompétences, à côtoyer des amis que je n'aurais jamais eu la chance de connaître sans l'utilisation de l'informatique et de tous les petits désagréments qu'il crée quand il n'en fait qu'à sa tête et qu'il plante magistralement dans les moments où on en a le plus grand besoin ! |

Browser Wars (Oct 15 2003 01:56 GMT) - I made the switch to Mozilla and love every last thing about it except this bug, in which Mozilla reuses an open browser window when I click on a link from an email or try to launch another web site with a keystroke. There is no way to turn this behavior off through the user interface. Several workarounds posted in the notes and the one that works |

Compass Mobile Phone for Muslims (Oct 15 2003 01:55 GMT) - Muslim Faithful have used a short messaging service for years as a digital muezzin, texting them to prayer five times a day from the cellular towers instead of minarets. Now, taking the concept further and pointing Muslims towards Mecca, LG Electronics (LGE) has developped a GPRS mobile phone equipped with a compass and programmed to indicate direction, according to eTech Korea via MobileBurn.com By setting the -5300-compass to the north and inputting their location information, Muslims can now easily find the direction of Mecca. With this feature, the handset positions itself as a specialized functional phone in the Middle East market. In particular, it is expected to spur a boom in the region because the compass may be used even where GPS services are unavailable. |

Turn That PC Into a Supercomputer (Oct 15 2003 01:55 GMT) - "The new chip is a parallel processor capable of performing 25 billion floating-point operations per second, or 25 gigaflops. According to the company, the chip has the potential to bring supercomputer performance to the desktop. An ordinary desktop PC outfitted with six PCI cards, each containing four of the chips, would perform at about 600 gigaflops (or more than half a teraflop). At this level of performance, the PC would qualify as one of the 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world. 'That's a supercomputer on the desktop,' said Simon McIntosh-Smith, ClearSpeed's director of architecture. |
