You cannot divide both sides by a-x because a-x = a-a = 0. Can't divide by zero. Every programmer knows that. ;P I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.

Maybe Microsoft deliberately broke NSIS installers to make Windows Installer look better. I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.

I think it's great. Very fuel-efficient. However, I think it's a tad too big. 555 seats? That is a bit scary. I would much rather like to see a leaner (200 seat or so) jet that can reach supersonic speeds. Plus, I don't think the A380 is very different from a Boeing 747 other than the fact that it has a greater capacity. It has a smaller range, in fact, than a Boeing 747. And I believe the A380 is more computerized which is not necessarily a good thing. I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.

My company is currently developing an MSI installer similar to InstallShield which will support all of the features you listed. If you're interested in beta testing this product and making your voice heard, you can sign up at http://www.dacris.com/betasignup.aspx[^]. In this beta program, you will be able to provide not only bug reports, but also feature suggestions and suggestions on licensing/pricing. You can find out more about this upcoming product at http://www.dacris.com/actisetup/atlantis.aspx[^]. Personally, I find InstallShield very difficult to learn and use, and unintuitive in its design. Not to mention it's very expensive. Visual Studio .NET is very limited with its deployment projects, and the freeware installers don't have very good support/documentation and do not support MSI.

I agree. I hope web application development becomes easier in the future because I feel it's decades behind desktop applications. Perhaps Longhorn could change all that. I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.

If you will permit me a small shameless plug, have a look at http://www.dacris.com/netxp[^]. It also contains an Outlook bar. Again, I apologize for the shameless plug.;P I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.

Definitely Seinfeld! I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.

I don't know but I got my P4 2.6 GHz in December, 2002, and IIRC the highest CPU speed back then was 3.0 GHz. So if we've only advanced about 0.4 GHz in 1.5 years, then Moore's law has indeed been broken. Intel has some explaining to do... I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.

I absolutely LOVE playing Stairway to Heaven! ;P I would really like to learn how to play the solo in it though... I can play it but really slowly, I can't play it fast or with fancy effects :( Oh, and I also like playing Thunderstruck.

Worst song of all time: "Oh Lord, won't you buy me, a Mercedes Benz, my friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends. Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends. Oh Lord, won't you buy me, a Mercedes Benz?" Do I need to go on? ;P I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.

Wow, "You're a top grade cynic - in fact you've turned cynicism into an art form. You greet almost every piece of news with sneering contempt. Loosen up a bit." And I thought I was only a moderate cynic. :omg: I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.

Wow, that is totally new to me, and I've been a 2K/XP user for almost 4 years now. I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.

OK. So what do I set the Proxy property to if I'm not using a proxy server? Would it be the IP address of the router? And what about the login information? :confused: I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.

Some methods have nothing to do with data access. I've even tried Google's APIs. Heath Stewart wrote: Is this web service behind a proxy, or is your client behind a proxy? The client is where the problem occurs, but the client is not behind a proxy. The server doesn't matter. As I said, I tried Google's web service, and it too does not work. The error message is the same. Heath Stewart wrote: In some cases, SOAP messages will not work through proxies if not configured right (the client request, that is). How might they be configured incorrectly? Heath Stewart wrote: you can increase the timeout by setting the Timeout property to something higher than the default (which is, oddly enough, 100 seconds). I've tried this to no avail. I tried a timeout of 300 seconds and it still generated the same error message. I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.

When I try to use a web service on a computer that connects to the Internet through a router, I get this exception: System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed-out. at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream() at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters) at WebTest.com.dacris.www.DBAccess.Select(String query) at WebTest.Form1.button1_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) Does anyone know why this might occur and how I could fix it? Thanks in advance. I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.

Why not use online activation? That way, if a key code is stolen you can immediately invalidate it so that no one using it will be able to activate. That's what I do, but I'm not sure if it has adverse effects on legitimate customers. I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.

It's interesting to see how animal names have remained Anglo-Saxon while their meats are from French. Let's see: pig -> pork (Fr. porc) cow -> beef (Fr. boeuf) And there are many others but I don't recall them. I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.

It seems that in Old English, all possessives had an ending of 'es'. So the correct form would actually be captaines. I have a symbiotic relationship with my computer.
