I've had complaints from people about some CF-Talk threads that veered away from being technical and cordial into what amounts to name calling. It seems to involve the same players. I'm going to say this once and once only. STOP! If I have to start moderating threads then I'll do so. I've

Common sense would dictate that you just maybe want to get this info from a system that actually runs in the os and not a client-side solution. Ok so what runs on pretty much every OS and integrates with coldfusion? Well hopefully even you can figure it out but here is the variables you'd

This has gone on for far too long. This kind of behavior / language is completely inappropriate. People come to this list to learn CF and ask for help, not to be witnesses to this school-yard level of bickering and insulting. If you have nothing good to say in response to someone's post, please

Well, windows only runs on Intel, and it states 32/64 bit in the user agent.  Linux usually has an architecture in the user agent.  OSX is a wildcard, but universal binaries make it no big deal if it's PPC or Intel. Keep in mind that this might not be entirely reliable anyway. For example,
