All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Software
Are you a computer Moron?

I honestly don't understand why your windows operating systems crash so much. My Windows 2000 advanced server only gets shut down when I switch hardware or if there is a lightning storm. My XP box has been on for months and other than it having a SCSI drive that is going bad it has no problems. Ocasionally I give the box a kick to get the SCSI drive spinning again but the OS itself has been wonderful. About a year ago I was heavily into working on a web site. 14+ hours a day for three months straight. Photoshop, Cold Fusion, Dreamweaver, WSFTP, notepad, frontpage, outlook, winamp and a few bulk mailers all running day in and day out with no problems.
And you people claim that yours crash on you just from using e-mail and the internet???
I'd blame Dell, Gateway, Compaq, your ISP and AOL for 75% of your problems.
I've had to re-install NT4 to solve problems but never XP or W2K
Again my disclaimer. No operating system is perfect, I realize MS is not open source and full of spyware.
This has not stopped me from getting pop ups while using Linux on the web or nag screens while installing linux software.

You need to install Squid proxy with Ad Zapper and point all of your clients to it. It blocks 99.9% of all advertizements and a lot of popups. Popups can be disabled completely in Mozilla and Konqueror (as well as all the other browsers on Linux that I am aware of).

You can kill the pop ups. Do a little search and you will find out how. This might help you. Galeon. It might be in Mozilla too i havent checked. Here is the nice part of it. You dont need to Dload another app to do it for you. Its built in the browser.
Plus you do some adjustements and you are worry free from scripts running on your web browser. IE has yet to fix problems like that 9even with security settings up high).

Virtually no one here uses Dell, Gateway, Compaq or AOL, so that argument is a bit moot.

And *nobody* here uses AOL. I would use it before I used MSN though.
