Something To Enjoy....

As I understand the tag, it’s a proprietary MS addition to HTML which Opera have decided also to implement, but as it seems to work by calling the WMP dll, it may be platform specific, i.e. Opera probably won’t play the sound unless it’s running on Windows.

Crappily written web page
might of been FWF my friend-but the presentation was nice 8) i just started this thread something to enjoy if anyone found something we would or must ::) ??? of us would enjoy put it in this thread like the interesting thread but different of sorts.
I went to this site using Firefox and couldn't hear the music
and RoRo didn't have any trouble with my firefox-that's what i was using when i saw the site and listened to the music.

Just to show that presentation and coding are entirely separate, I hacked the page about a bit so it is standards compliant and cross-browser compatible. Not too difficult ever for a bodger like me. You can see the result here.

My modified page uses a JavaScript to add either a or a tag according to the browser.

As Firefox is a web browser and not a media player, and not tied in to the OS, it requires a plug-in to play embedded music files. It won’t use WMP. A discussion of the issue here:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92110

An alternative version of the page which lanches the default media player if no plug-in is installed is here.

Strictly speaking, neither nor is standards compliant. The tag is part of the W3C standards, and both Firefox and Opera handle it OK. Needless to say, IE can’t. An example here.

Girlfriend 6.0 vs. Wife 1.0
A Comparative Trial

Last year a friend of mine upgraded from GirlFriend 6.0 to Wife 1.0 and found that it’s a memory hog leaving very little system resources available for other applications. He is now noticing that Wife 1.0 is also spawning Child Processes which are further consuming valuable resources. No mention of this particular phenomena was included in the product brochure or the documentation, though other users have informed him that this is to be expected due to the nature of the application.

Not only that, Wife 1.0 installs itself such that it is always launched at system initialization, where it can monitor all other system activity. He’s finding that some applications such as PokerNight 10.3, BeerBash 2.5, and PubNight 7.0 are no longer able to run in the system at all, crashing the system when selected (even though they always worked fine before). During installation, Wife 1.0 provides no option as to the installation of undesired Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw 55.8 and BrotherInLaw Beta release. Also, system performance seems to diminish with each passing day.

Some features he’d like to see in the upcoming wife 2.0:
a “Don’t remind me again” button
a “Minimize” button
an install shield feature that allows Wife 2.0 be installed with the option to uninstall at any time without the loss of cache and other system resources
an option to run the network driver in promiscuous mode which would allow the system’s hardware probe feature to be much more useful.

I myself decided to avoid the headaches associated with Wife 1.0 by sticking with Girlfriend 7.0. Even here, however, I found many problems. Apparently you cannot install Girlfriend 7.0 on top of Girlfriend 6.0. You must uninstall Girlfriend 6.0 first. Other users say this is a long standing bug that I should have known about. Apparently the versions of Girlfriend have conflicts over shared use of the I/O port. You think they would have fixed such a stupid bug by now. To make matters worse, The uninstall program for Girlfriend 6.0 doesn’t work very well leaving undesirable traces of the application in the system. Another thing – all versions of Girlfriend continually popup little annoying messages about the advantages of upgrading to Wife 1.0.

Bug Warning

Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources.

Bug work-arounds: To avoid this bug, try installing Mistress 1.1 on a different system and never run any file transfer applications such as Laplink 6.0. Also, beware of similar shareware applications that have been known to carry viruses that may affect Wife 1.0. Another solution would be to run Mistress 1.1 via a UseNet provider under an anonymous name. Here again, beware of the viruses which can accidentally be downloaded from the UseNet.

Tech Support Suggestions

These are very common problem that is complained about, but is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 6.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a Utilities & Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is indeed an operating system and designed by its creator to run everything.

It is unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 6.0. Hidden operating files within your system would cause Girlfriend 6.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so nothing is gained. It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 6.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this.

Some have tried to install Girlfriend 7.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original system. Look in your manual under “Warnings - Alimony/Child support”. I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and deal with the situation.

I suggest installing background application program C:\YES DEAR to alleviate software augmentation. Having installed Wife 1.0 myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Partnership Faults (GPFs). You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur, regardless of their cause. The best course of action will be to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE. In any case avoid excessive use of C:\YES DEAR because ultimately you may have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the operating system will return to normal. The system will run smoothly as long as you take the blame for all the GPFs.

Wife 1.0 is a great program, but very high-maintenance. Consider buying additional software to improve the performance of Wife 1.0. I recommend Flowers 3.1 and Diamonds 2K. Do not, under any circumstances, install Secretary with Short Skirt 3.3. This is not a supported application for Wife 1.0 and is likely to cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Best of Luck,
Tech Support

Dan,
I got “Girlfriend 6.0 vs. Wife 1.0 A Comparative Trial” from another forum. I posted it here to get your thread on-topic about computer software & security.

Have you tried Wife 1.0 on your computer? If so, did it run smoothly?

If it crashed your computer or other serious problems, I heard of a good software than can clean all traces of Wife 1.0 off your system. It’s from a Mexican company called SouthoftheborderSoftware. The newest version is Divorce 10.5. The price is very reasonable & the software is fast. ;D

I think he is referring to the initial post ‘link’ to boogie.htm something is detecting it ‘what, he didn’t say’ but I believe xiaochugang needs to investigate this as a false positive detection by what ever it was that detected it.

No detection by Dr Web link checker.

:)This FP thing sure weakens the malware fight, we never know for sure wheter its a malware or a FP until we got a chance to investigate it thoroughly, which can or cannot be instantaneous… 8)
