Just heard the newest Window update is cuasing people to BSOD

Just heard this on the news that M$ is telling people to uninstall the latest august update because its causing system crashes and the infamous BSOD.

Seriously Microsoft how many years have you been doing this? You would think they would have this down by now.

I updated two machines (Vista&W7) this morning and discovered that the Bing auto hiding search bar stopped working on both of them. I then applied Microsoft's so called fix and still had the same issue on both. I then uninstalled all August updates and things are back to normal. I am not an Apple Fan Boy, but I wonder if Microsoft tests and uses their own software updates before they are rolled out to consumers. Must not have with the August updates. Tracey Pretorius needs her butt kicked!

We got bit at work by a Microsoft Windows Update from August that just took effect Sept. 9th. Microsoft pulled an Apple and IE disabled your Java ActiveX component if it isn't up-to-date. This affects connections to computers that are outside your IE Intranet and Trusted Zones. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2991000

All fine and good but the one application we moved into the Cloud is (of course) the one that broke and is (of coursed) used by Everybody That Needs It Fixed NOW. Turns out it caught the vendor flat-footed as well. Corporate IT hasn't issued a statement yet.

The ironic thing is we do Windows Updates testing, but since this particular update did not take effect until Sept. 9, it wasn't caught in August. Likewise, any beta users were not the ones who use the application, so testing this month's patches went smoothly. Likewise, the testing cycle for Java Runtime Environment is even worse as JRE updates come out whenever. Plus, once they are pronounced Good, Corporate needs to create a SCCM package which also needs to be tested. Once that is finished, Oracle has usually come out with Yet Another JRE version to correct the exploit that was found in the current version.

SOx SUx.

Am I the only one that hates what Dish did to their mobile app?

I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

I'm not a big fan of the new layout, especially on my Apple TV. It used to look like the old Guide layout on the Hopper 3, but they changed parts of that, too.

NCIS

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.

I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

You don't like Tony, or Tony as the Director (he's only been there for 30 seconds now) or you don't like NCIS ?

No. Bring in someone new.🤔 Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.

I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...

Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)

Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.

Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.

It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Trailer for new Jim Caviezel movie Ghost Soldier

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

Project Hail Mary

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.

Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!

Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.

I've seen it twice. Can't recommend the audio book enough, Ray Porter's performance is amazing and there's so much more in the book than the movie.

Forgot to comment. I did watch when it first came out on MGM. I enjoyed it a lot. I think reading the book made it easier to watch. Several friends commented it was a little hard to follow.

I agree. That can go for pretty much any book vs movie. Back when I was single I would read any Stephen King or John Grisham book I could get my hands on. When you read a book you make up the scenes and characters in your mind.....the movie version always disappoints.

A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place. :eek:

After having experienced Gus Ferguson trying to call soccer games, I'm uncertain why NFL football analysts get hate. Even the "worst" of them are pretty good.
