What if the ball were in a dark room and you had not previously seen it? Feeling the ball would tell you that it was a sphere but you wouldn't know the colour. At that point could you not say that the ball is definitely more spherical than it is blue? What if you light the room with light containing no blue to reflect, the colour would change but not its shape? Of course if you were to stamp the ball flat it would remain blue. So what should we use to define "most", is it lastability, perception, accuracy or something else?

My bad, it is spherical (in every day language).

This isn't really a puzzle as there is no answer but it's generated an interesting line of debate before... I have a spherical ball. It is made of plastic and it is hollow. It is also blue. Is it more blue than it is spherical?

That might work. Launching appwix.cpl usually gives an cannot open this file error that if you cancel takes you to the old style add/remove dialogue.

If you can't access your control panel then that might be difficult to do.

I've been a computer professional for 12 years now. I started off with the usual monkey stuff, building PC's, installing and troubleshooting Windows, building HTML pages, setting up the odd LAN and DOS/batch files. I then progressed to LAN architecture, WAN, network protocols and NT/AD infrastructure. This was all well and good but still not much use without an understanding of why and how companies use network resources. While I was doing this for a living I learnt PHP, ASP, .NET framework and concentrated on building web applications rather than just building odd sites here and there. This lead me onto learning how to configure IIS and Apache for hosting along with Exchange server (incredibly complex on a large network). Then I started to learn the standards for building and supporting networks in a corporate environment including things like app dispensers and correct permission grouping to allow for growth and security. Currently I'm an admin for a network that includes over 40,000 workstations and more than 500 servers used by a VERY large media company (any guesses?) - I'm sure this is obvious but at this it point goes somewhat beyond plugging a few cables into a hub and configuring IP addresses. I also consider myself an authority on Windows and DOS - I started on Windows 3.1 and have resolved pretty much any problem that it can generate. Well that's my background, now a few thoughts: 3 years of learning is nothing, you'll find that as you learn more you will look back at what you knew and realise that it was a tiny fraction of what there is to know. Linux. Good old Linux. The cry of the forum masses! Linux has its uses, certainly as a firewall, router or webserver but it is nothing on Windows as a client. Everytime I hear somebody say "Windows is crap get Linux" it makes me shudder. Windows is where it is for a reason and that is because it is good at what it does. Linux is a mess in comparison. Yes, it may do some things well and it's certainly got a lot of Geek Cred but roll it out to even a small userbase in a REAL network environment and watch everything fall apart and get ready to look for a new job.

I would delete the second version of XP that is on there and re-install again over the top of the first, broken version. Just rename the directory into which you install it back to the original one and it will replace the corrupt files. If you want to keep you personalisation move the profile folder in C:\documents and settings while you do this and then replace it when you are done installing. you'll need to set up another account to be able to replace it though.

That makes the HE used in the exploding targets as specified by their inventor in the patent documents.

Well clearly not you looking at your previous posts about how to post!! Don't be rude, it just makes you look brainless. Look up US Patent Number 4498677 - although you do make me question the easy availability of guns and explosives.

From the link in my signature: It would be interesting to see how far the Web would have stretched had it been licensed by CERN.

No problem - I think he is a man whose contribution hasn't been recognised throughout the world.

I assume you're using a crossover cable? It's quite a big question to answer without more info really. Once you've got the machines physically connected through their NIC's you will need to configure a LAN. You can either do this manually or if you are using Windows XP you can use the network configuration wizard (spit!).

"Sad" as in America closing it's doors on international entries under the guise of needing it's own rocket as the Russians are charging them too much for the use of Soyuz. Reading between the lines this looks like an attempt to catch up in the space race again (since the problems with the Shuttle) at the cost of International relations and possibly the quality of the product. America's favourite toy is broken, he won't share with any of the other boys so he wants a new one all to himself!

Each planet is held in orbit around the sun by a variety of factors including speed, mass and distance from the sun all balanced to keep the planet on its course. It's not purely governed by the gravitational force acting on the bodies in question. For example, the space shuttle when in orbit does not go up and down to increase and decrease its distance from the planet, it slows down and speeds up. The faster it goes the higher the orbit until such a speed is reached that it leaves orbit entirely. I'm not really qualified to comment quantitatively on this so I'll leave that for someone else but IIRC the attractive force of gravity is in oppostion to the centripetal acceleration (or is that angular momentum) acting on the body as a result of its velocity.

Which is rather a shame really, the worst customer service I have ever come across and now on my growing blacklist of companies not to touch with a barge pole (and all it would have taken was an email from a human to keep me happy).

This seems to be a slightly sad attempt by America to beat the Russians once again. Why not open this competition to the world in the interests of technological development?

Not really. By it's very nature load balancing itself doesn't prevent a dedicated DoS attack. As the name suggests, the load is balanced, but if the number of requests is high enough it's still going to go down no matter how many channels are available, it may just take longer.

It's not loading for me either. Even the big sites go down, if they are very big it's often due to a DoS attack.
