They can be dynamically added to the fonts folder if need be

Steve Jobs and Abhisit own your brain... therefore you can't seriously claim ownership of anything, furthermore, as Steve knows, it is exceedingly easy to own you.

but you can't do everything through the network, MS tried a few years ago and it failed, loading profiles and registry onto a central server created nightmares for the poor IT staff, files would get corrupted, it was slow etc... another reason why the Thin client envisioned by Sun has been a big failure.

anyway, plug-in, fonts, specific apps etc... basically what constitute a dynamic desktop experience, may it be personal or corporate, is not compatible with the kiosk idea that some are advocating here with DeepFreeze

Dude, I think it's clear that both mc2 and Chupacabra are made from the same cloth -- substanceless, bullshit, and total lack of experience in real world situations.

Everyone else on this thread has more experience (which could be taken as an insult, so, it's not meant to be), even you do.

Not even - he thinks more like some DeVry's 'graduate' who's been overdosing on reading the 'advice' columns in 'Computer Shopper'.

why are chubbies lights out? Well gone would be good news.

Hmmm... makes you wonder, eh?

Maybe he got bored looking at all the reds...?

Looks like he flounced:

sounds like he might be back as midnight rambler. Another strange bird.

Turn your PC into... 09-07-2010 09:09 AM chupacabra Actually, first time I installed Deep Freeze I uninstalled it the first day. Don't tell anyone :-D

Odd - he seems to have sent that same PM to *everyone* on this thread, to see who would publish it first.

Yeah, the guy's mental. Must be leading a pretty lonely life, to be so desperate for acknowledgment.

So Chubs, how many PCs/Users do you support?

You honestly think that's real? That was a green in response to a red someone gave me.

ODD. Because I only sent it to one.

Let's try this:

You have a population of 300 users -- 140 of which are high end graphic artists, who produce the life-blood of your company's main revenue streams. The other 160 are clerical users (copywriters, proofers, managers), and supporting users to the graphic artists.

The artists some standard tools (like CS5) while also using a variety of tools and applications that each prefer; this extends to various plugins and supporting applications for their graphic applications. Fonts are an important criteria of this ecosystem, as are a variety of printers in use in different locations.

Go for it - tell us how you'd handle this, since I doubt you'd answer it any more than you'd answer HB's questions.

Let's see, the betting continues : 1000 THB that you won't provide an intelligent and reasonable reply to my query, and 1000 THB that you won't provide an intelligent and reasonable reply to HB.

English is your first language?

Was that a yes?

I just want a yes or a no. Then I will answer.

I have the solution Quack Quack, just tell the fuckers artists to use one standard computer or they will be deepfreeze !!!

Sorry, I don't play kids games. If you don't want to answer the question because it makes you look like a complete c*nt, fair enough.

^ Yep, nailed it.

So, how many folks on three different fora has he been 0wned by so far?

I'm struggling to think of one department that might need frozen computers.

Maybe HR?
But even they might have a need to install something to read different document formats not supported by their Office Suite.

I know:

Welcome to Iceland Foods Ltd.

It's probably handy on public library computers as well.

Fixed that.
