You can download all those pesky security patches and hotfixes as a single update now. You can even download it as an executable install, and it's only about 2.7MB:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Note that this does NOT contain optional post SP1 software, like Media Player 9 or DirectX 9.0, but does have all the critical updates.
Just a note that SP1 isn't necessary to use this version of the download (9 MB). For those who already have SP1 on their systems, you should be able to get the 2.7 MB version by going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and installing critical update 826939. (And for those who don't have SP1 installed, what are you waiting for?)
Damn this cable modem, anyway. It only took a couple of minutes to download :oops:Originally Posted by Albert Woo

time for me to roll up a new slipstream XP disc....been meaning to do that + re-install one of my machines, seems to be as good a time as any.
ZDNET had a report quoting a Microsoft exec that they're moving SP2 up for release late this year. Microsoft had scheduled it for around April of next year, but the heat from all the security problems they've had is accelerating the schedule. Good.
And I saw a report that beta testers will soon be getting the first build of SP2 that has a lot of Longhorn-ish-like features. SP2 will start introducing some of the Longhorn building blocks.
The integrity of my system be damned, I'll choke on dog feces before I install any Longhorn components.
Does that count if I sneak in your house and install it for you?
Will you be able to install it when I hear the clitter-clatter on my keyboard, leap out of my bed, and throw a side suto into your windpipe?
Since you have a cute name for yourself, I can only imagine "side suto" is the name you have for your penis? So are you asking me if I can install it while giving you a blow job or are you just asking for a blowjob?
Sparky, do you think you could do the word "Blowjob" in Machfive's ridiculous graphical style for us?
:twisted:
Hey, do they have a version for W2K users? (Screw eyecandy!)
Look at me, I believe all the horror stories I read on rumor sites about how Microsoft technology is going to ruin my life! Longhorn has Microsoft Chase Kids Around The Block With a Snowblower technology! Its just hidden!
Yeah, whatever.
That's exactly it Chet. You got it! Blow me.
But what is a side suto?
A suto is a chop performed with the side of the hand opposite the thumb. It's quite effective against areas of soft tissue. A side suto has more momentum and force on than a front suto, so they're stronger, and I'd be more likely to leave dear old Chet here on the floor, clutching his throat, gurgling in pain from a crushed windpipe.
If he weren't a hideous mechanical robot, that is. :wink:
Oh, so it's a metaphorical penis.
If he weren't a hideous mechanical robot, that is. :wink:
'Caaaaaato..............?'
The funny thing about this MS wrapup package is, immediately after installation the Windows Update Service offered me four new critical patches for Windows XP...
I love little boys who talk all the kung-fu crazy based on what they read in books and saw in movies. Why not just say you are going to that Spock hand thing and how deadly that can be??
And before you do it - I don't care that you are a super purple belt from the YWCA. You want to name yourself after a cartoon car, so shutup, you are an idiot.
Chet
You do kind of sound like all those kids I knew in sixth grade who would walk around saying "I know seven ways to kill a man with one strike" and so on. Shoryuken!

Please don't use your side suto on me and leave me gurgling in pain or whatever.[/size]
What makes this exchange really hilarious is, although he has since pulled them down from his website, I know from pics that have been posted here that Machfive more or less resembles the pallid homunculus of Sean Penn allowed to languidly float in a sensory deprivation tank until his muscles completely atrophy. Likewise, I know from a certain famous E3 picture taken with Levelord that Chet is like seven feet tall and has a vicious, anthropmorphical dog's head genetically grafted to his shoulders. I'll let you guys infer from the wording of those sentences who I'm placing my euros on in the upcoming Qt3 Chet vs Machfive Battle Royale.
For last time,
;)
DrCrypt - You totally misused the word "homunculus." A better word would've been "pallid spectre." It combines nicely with "languidly float," and keeps a sense of weightlessness and lack of mass.
Chet - I didn't learn what I know in a book or movie, I learned it in a dojong. And yes, I am named after a cartoon car. The fact you sling that like an insult is what amuses me the most. It's not something I'm ashamed of, and it's pretty sad that's the worst derogative you can think of to throw at me. Why don't you go back to the drawing board and spend some time figuring out actual burns that might phase me. You get back to me on that, okay?
Which one is Sean Penn? They look so much alike.

I find it somewhat amusing that the only other reference on the Internet to "side suto" happens to be on some annoying kid's livejournal-ripoff thing.

Oh waitaminute....
Machfive, are you ever right about anything?
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=homunculus
If you don't fall into the category of "diminuitive human", I don't know what does. (EDIT: Physical stats quoted from Mach 5's website to better prove my point - Machfive's height: 5 feet 5 inches tall.)
Better quit while you're behind, before you say something dumb like "You talk about legally changing my name to be the same as a cartoon car as if it were an insult". Oh wait... you already said that. I guess you just side sutoed yourself, huh?
I don't think you understand how small this diminutive human is supposed to be.
It has to be small enough for them to be a half-dozen of them running around in your head pulling all the strings. We're talking pint-size. Smaller than Mini-Dr. Evil. Smaller than a cat. Smaller than a mouse. Weeeeeee.
If you say so man. I don't see the resemblence.
Not the one desperately trying to look like Sean Penn, so he can try and borrow an identity for his hapless self by denying looking like him.Which one is Sean Penn? They look so much alike.
XPav - holy shit. I first skimmed that and thought, okay so he wrote this when he was in the sixth grade, I will give him a break. Yow! He wrote that this summer.
By the way, in his fun facts: I'm a virgin, and damn proud of it.
He is 3 years outside of college, wants to name himself after a cartoon car and he is a virgin. And according to his fun facts: I love to karaoke
Machfive how can you be a virgin? How can that be? When you go up to Karoke in your Sean Penn self, why not do a few karate kicks and let the girls know you are named after a cartoon car? That will win them over. If that doesn't do it, show them your name analysis on your made up name.. oh i gotta stop... you are past worth having fun with, you have made me sad.
Chet
No, Chet, don't stop now! This is just starting to get funny. You're in the zone man. Keep going. This is good stuff.
