Quote:I would argue that people have been trained to do this long before the UAC ever made its way to the world.Originally Posted by Schismatrix
The problem is that UAC trains them to do that by being too sensitive and popping up redundant and irrelevant windows constantly. i was helping my boss set up a new system the other day, and for one application i was installing it spawned at least six UAC windows in a row when starting the setup for a single piece of software.
It's the equivalent of calling the police and screaming into the phone every time you any noise at all outside. After a while the police are going to start ignoring the calls.
Prime example, how many people do you know have extra garbage on their computer that they don't know is there because they were just clicking "next" and installing everything that came with some freeware player or some such?
EDIT: Also, holy thread jack. -

I have nothing against the UAC. I understand it's use and why people not as familliar with computer would like it and use it. I personally disable it first thing but I won't bash it simply because it's there. It's actually pretty useful when your not sure whats going on with your computer but I think it's just a bit too restrictive. Yet at the same time people can get "afraid" of the message thinking that whatever they tried to do will destroy their computer... I hope i'ts been improved in win 7
The UAC was a good idea, but the problem lies in that most people are trained to "just click next" without actually reading what they're doing. -
Quote:I just now read that and realized that it probably came across a bit quippy, sorry. I just hear too many people blame the UAC for everything. >.<Originally Posted by ElectroHawk
yeah I didn't realize he was in Program file so I assume it was the UAC message he was seeing...
"My hard drive burnt out the other day. Damned UAC." -
Quote:The zone was full for the first one as well wasn't it? Or am I getting mixxed up?Originally Posted by Celestial_Lord
I just want to thank everyone that has come out to my first two weekly Rikti mothership raids and made them a smashing success. I don't recall ever seeing as many people at a mothership raid as we had last night. The Rikti War Zone was actually full.
Two down, many more to go.
But yes, last night's raid was nice, my team managed to get a second bomb before the shields came back up. -
Stormies are nice, I just don't trust myself with mass KB, so I rolled Cold Dom instead.
Grats. -
Quote:Bingo. When copying stuff from folder to folder manually, you can tell it to go ahead, but if you're saving from inside a program, it /typically/ won't allow it (there are ways, but not worth it, trust me).Originally Posted by Star_Fire
Somebody suggested to me this morning that Vista won't let you save to program files, so that might be it.
The UAC isn't the cause of all life's problems, this is actually related to the NTFS permissions.Quote:Originally Posted by ElectroHawk
ah the great UAC of Windows Vista hits once

They did help, but not with network load.
It simplified the amount of costumes your video card had to draw. Things such as capes and auras require particles and physics effects that increase the load on your machine, not so much your network.
EDIT: This is why a lot of people complain that Thermal or Cold shields lag them out, they require more particles to draw than bubbles and put a heavier load on the person's graphics card/CPU. -
Wait, the servers have been down recently?

Quote:Np, all I did was add some transparency around it so it wouldn't stretch, takes 5 seconds with the right software.Originally Posted by Star_Fire
Not quite perfect --> but much better than what I had.
Thanks much! : )

Why's it not perfect? I can probably fix it

I'd settle for getting my avatar to look acceptable on these forums.

Server's up
-
Correct, unless there's a delay between when your game account goes inactive and your forum account does.
-
32 and some odd seconds by my clock
-
More than likely. One thing I've learned is that if they say they expect 2 hours, they usually mean it.
-
Shouldn't, unless there's something much more sinister happening. They're just basically uninstalling the patch they installed this morning.
-
Server status page has been busted for awhile, anytime the servers are down the date at the bottom is wrong.
-
Servers are down anyway unless they've managed to come back up already and I haven't noticed
-
Right in the middle of a great Rikti Raid too

Quote:Instead of using the image upload thing (shot in the dark here, but I guess that's how you're trying it), try just using the [ img] tags in the textbox.Originally Posted by WhiteHotFlash
People haven't gotten around to reloading or loading new ones yet. That's part of the cost of moving to new software.
Speaking of loading: I've got a siggy pic that I've been trying to upload. I put it on photobucket, same album where my avatar resides, but it's telling me I have an invalid URL. I copied the link that the pic provides, just like the avatar, but it no workie. Any clues? It's the right size and everything, so that's not the problem, no animated gifs or anything.
