I would not blame Windows or Microsoft Office for this. They are still in beta.  You know what type of software is in beta. The one that doesn't run, but we still want to share the executable.

Since memory only constitutes part of the System Resources, articles like the following come to mind:

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

Good point, although I haven't run into a legitimate case of resource exhaustion since pre-Windows NT.
As it turns out, what the error actually meant is, Internet Explorer could not directly open this file type from a Sharepoint site, so download and open the file manually.

because they are based out of Prague. Nice of my bank to be looking out for me, but what a pain in the asss!!

As annoying as it is, better they err on the side of caution, though a quick call or text to you might have prevented the payment being stopped.

Well, that, and because they are cracking down on criminal activities. I'm surprised you dare show your white kitty stroking self here. You tried passing yourself off as that nice Donald Pleasance, or Max Von Sydow or Telly Savalas, but we're on to you Blofeld.

Well, I didn't want to say he was stroking his white pussy. I know how people get.

I don't understand. What does being based in Prague supposed to imply?

Most of the banks in the United States, not all, have blacklisted online purchases with companies in "hacker rich" territories of Russia, Ukraine, Czechoslovakia Czech Republic, etc...
All I have to do is tell the bank that this company is alright and not criminal, then they will white-list the company and let me place the purchase (this takes like 15 minutes to do). Good for me, just a pain in the butt if you are in a hurry.

It's only been 22 years since the dissolution. That's nowhere near long enough for people who don't live there to get used to using the new names.

Czechoslovakia ... was a sovereign state in Central Europe that existed from October 1918, when it declared its independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, until its peaceful dissolution into the Czech Republic and Slovakia on 1 January 1993.
For 16 years of my childhood, it was called "Czechoslovakia".
It's now been over 22 years since it became "the Czech Republic" and "Slovakia".
And I still sometimes find my self about to refer to it as "Czechoslovakia".

I bought some concert tickets in Venice (italy) online, and 10 minutes after, I got a call from my Credit card company asking me if I really bought them (I'm from Canada).
I think they are becoming, maybe, more pro-active when trying to detect fraud.
I'd rather be phishing!

The banks actually do seem to be more paranoid lately...I sent my Dad some money via Interac last week, which I have done many times, and this time it got blocked for 'security reasons'. Took a couple of phone calls and some days to sort it out.

Never gonna work. I will eat my hat if it does.. and also register a perpetuum mobile device one day later. But I'm not planning on it anytime soon. Why can't people understand that it violates the basic laws of physics - thoroughly tested laws of physics?
