XP SP2 RC1

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

KC Lemson was kind enough to point to Jeff’s post with some details about changes that will be coming to Internet Explorer with Windows XP Service Pack 2. I like what I’m hearing here about the popup blocker and the Active X controls. If it works as advertised it’s definitely a step in the right direction!

On a side note, Angela’s site is currently in the process of being moved, so you may have some funkiness and it may be unreachable for some people. As with any DNS change, give it a couple of days, hopefully by the time we get back from Richmond on Monday, it’ll all be back to normal!

    Reading Medley I noticed an interesting quote from LWN. So what do you think? In light of the fact that you can use a Sharpie to circumvent copy-protection, when should we expect the RIAA to sue marker companies under the DMCA. It will be interesting to see if this develops any further or if they…

    Forget what I said in the last post, Yahoo has apparently decided that new groups get the ads at the top. Big old flashing, intrusive ads too, yeech! So I deleted that group and started one over at Topica. Same deal, you can subscribe over there in the left margin. I’ve set the list to…
