3 alternative ways to get Windows updates

Jean, I don't see any uls file for SP3 up there. Is there something I'm missing? Also, is there a way one could automate the creation of these files so that I can update them myself to the latest patches available?

AT&T announces iPhone 3G pricing plans

Good Lord, no thank you. I pay under $90 for a FAMILY PLAN, and that _includes unlimited data_ for one of the phones!!! I can't put enough exclamations on there. I've been very pleased with Sprint's pricing.

You people who pay this are nuts. :)

Enterprise wikis?

Apr 29th 2006 10:21PM (Download Squad)
At my company (Fortune 10) we have a CMS that has a publishing workflow that is so tightly regulated and over-complicated that well...I don't actually know how to add documents. And its in my job description. Reading isn't too bad (Livelink engine).

But I came to the conclusion that the tool just discourages people from writing documentation, which is a very bad thing. A wiki would be an obvious knee-jerk fix. I don't know however if the total lack of enforced structure would work in many corporate environments. But the lowered barrier to entry would sure help. Well who knows, maybe the people who today manage the workflow of Livelink and our change management process would instead be lurking 'Recent Changes'...

The thing I don't get is that Lego supposedly lost a quarter billion due to their software division tanking. Anybody know what the deal is? I really like their games, good for me and the kids to play together. (As opposed to say, GTA ;)

Get ready for more Office 12 hype

The company I work for is a big MSFT partner and I've been invited to do early user trials. I'll be sure to let everyone know how that goes. :)

Ask Download Squad: What's the best alternative to Microsoft Office?

Jul 22nd 2005 12:10PM (Download Squad)
I'd like to extend the commentary to include Project, OneNote, and Visio. They are a part of the Office Suite, but not typically included. I like OoO a lot, but haven't used it enough to really compare it to Office 2003. I use Office for work, and in particular we use Project and Visio quite a bit. OneNote is just something on the side that's very unique. Project I don't care for, but Visio rocks. I require the ability to use Visio stencils because that is the standard in my industry. (http://www.visiocafe.com/) Do I even have an alternative? I don't know.
