    question Mobile Phones

    Willingness aside, let us know how it performs when it happens. ;) I did not use any cover for my 3GSs and te case got a bit beat up and I eventually cracked the glass. The back of the iP4 case is glass so I couldn't chance it. That and the antenna problem practically requires a case.

    Best movie you've seen

    Not being familiar with the comic book character and long since read the Norse Mythology, I have a question. Is Thor a "god" personality like superman? Yeah so he gets knocked 60 feet into contrition and then the hammer comes alive and he gets his armor. What the hell happened to all the...

    Outlook PST Hell

    I never had a problem that a back-end mail archiver did not solve. Probably because I had common sense limits on email size.

    Outlook PST Hell

    FWIW, I have installed and supported over 50 seperate exchange/outlook installations with a maximum outlook user count of ~200. In 10 years I can count the number of problems I've had with exchange that required googling something on both hands, half of those required a call to MS. Every problem...

    Your home Stereo/sound system/s? What did you buy, how much, and why did you buy it?

    I mostly use the HiFi speakers built into the laptop. They are a very old design and have always worked well for me. Many laptops that were once outrageously expensive use the same design so I'm pretty happy with it.

    You want a solution in which the recipients opt-in and out so that the list is self maintaining. Google or Yahoo groups will work.

    East Tenessee storms

    Well, the numbers given may be an indication of who needs to be concerned about the possibility for the purposes of insurance etc. (which is what we were talking about in Japan) but it is very unlikely that all of the plants and therefor all of the people will be affected by a single event.

    Cloning a 32 bit laptop Vista and converting to 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate?

    Exchange with very little data in it should not be that disk intensive. Not that I have tested the scenario.

    So I'm reading through my insurance documents when I discover that I am excluded coverage for nuclear hazard including radioactive contamination. Were it not for Japan last monto I'd probably not have noticed it.

    Boot from backup

    It is difficult to understand what you mean by "release the drive letters" and what your procedure was the second time through. Did you uninstall/reinstall Bounceback after the recovery?

    End of the World As We Know It

    @time I'm glad you enjoyed the irony. :) I don't have time to do much more now but one thing I was trying to differentiate is that inflation may help you pay your bank note whether it be a mortgage, car, or business loan(middle class) but it makes it harder for anyone to pay for stuff who's...

    End of the World As We Know It

    time, I'm glad you know the definition of inflation. Now think about the implications of daily life if price goes up by even 10%. It will trickle back to the very loans you are getting help paying off as your neighbor has to take out a higher value loan (comparatively) to buy the same thing as...

    Inflation is nobody's friend. It costs everyone more to buy everything. Is China holding treasuries any worse than China collecting and holding wads of devalued cash until the cash has value again? Inflation may have a useful downside for some people but those people won't be the ones who need...

    They were saying on the radio that although they have more tornados in tornado alley when they occur in the southeast they tend to be stronger winds and stay on the ground longer. I bet we are also bet that hey have more resistant construction standards too. I heard the death count was up over...

    Keep up the QE and you run the risk of inflation. And it is simple hubris to think that a group of men can track and predict what the economy is going to need. You don't need to be an ideolog to see this.

    Tuscalussa, AL was hit pretty hard by a Tornado. And much closer to me downtown Ringgold, GA was just plain destroyed.

    95,000 meters without power around my city (not AL). Some/many of the homes in my area (6 mile radius) date back to 1870ish. Mine is only a couple decades newer and we do love our trees. The one that fell on my house has a trunk of about 4ft and stood maybe 60-75 ft tall. My house has a new...

    Move Windows 7 partitions to new drive

    I was really hoping for better results from BounceBack. I had read in the past that in order to boot from the USB drive the first step is to remove the HD from the external casing and install it into the computer. It is bound to get complicated with a mix of ATA/SATA/SSD. Can you comment?

    It was not an anti-jew thing as much as it was a "let's get everybody on the same page worldwide thing." And even then it has taken 2000 years to agree on a calculation.
