The Master Boot Record is only 512 bytes. That's not so big. He isn't saying that it put the NT boot loader on his drive. He is saying that it rewrote his MBR to LOOK FOR an NT boot loader.

This is why I changed the port for it
OK, so you changed the port, wouldn't someone just be able to port scan your system and try connecting on other ports instead? I suppose it might keep the script kiddies out... for a while.
Don't know if you are trolling or not, but Sybase and MS SQL Server used to be one in the same, until MS SQL 6.5 I think. Then they split. I haven't used Sybase in a few years, but Sybase System 11 was pretty decent.
Anyone else notice that the document on the Timeline website that is linked to is titled "Elegent Memo". Kinda funny, they wrote it in Word XP (aka Word XP) using one of the built-in letter templates and exported to HTML. Didn't bother to change the title of the document. Just makes them look a little silly if you ask me.
I'm no expert on the CD pressing business, but I assume pressing a CD isn't more expensive than burning one, if you are pressing large amounts. The problem is, they then need to take orders for as many CDs as they press, otherwise they have a bunch of left over CDs and have wasted a lot of money. By only burning what they sell (plus 4 more for future orders, like the article says) they save money.
Do you have a family?... kids? Probably not. They're HUGE time sinks.
Yes, I do have a family. As a matter of fact I have 3 kids. I'm not saying I agree with blocking ALL personal use of the web at work. If you read my initial post, my point was how silly it is to say that "since I can't spend 5 minutes at work taking care of something, I have to take a whole day off work to do it instead," which is basically what the posting says. (Although if you read the actual article they don't word it quite the same as the/. post does.)
... but if I want my electronic mortgage payment to go through on that business day...order nephew's birthday present, I have to do it before the webstore closes if I want it to ship in time...
Both of these are examples of trying to do something at the "last minute". Don't procrastinate so much and you won't find yourself in these situations. Is it your employer's problem that you can't manage your time properly?
If you need to contact someone before the close of business in a different time zone, what would that have to do with surfing the web? If you really need to contact them that urgently, you should be using the phone. Web based support forms aren't all that reliable when you need something in a hurry.
...people have to take days off from work to deal with personal business that could have been done in a few minutes or hours from a work net connection...
If you can do it on the web from work in a few minutes, why would you need to take a day off to do it from home? The web is open 24 hours! Take a few minutes at home to get it done in the evening instead of taking the day off. If you don't have an Internet connection at home, go to the library. That's just ridiculous.
If you are using Evolution, then you probably have a lot of the base install of Gnome already, as Evolution is a Gnome app and requires certain Gnome libs. Wouldn't be too far of a stretch for you to try out Gnome.
And you need to do this in ASP because? You can just as easily automate it from a VB app. One thing I have done in the past, which is a little off the wall, but works OK, is convert the Word doc to HTML and then use CDO and VB (or C# or VB.Net) to create an email message out of it. Assign the generated HTML to the HTMLBody, then pull the text version off the Body of the message and discard the email message. It does a nice job of converting the HTML to text. Bullets become asterisks with tabs, tables get tabbed out too I think. Try it out, it might give you what you want.

You're showing your age :) Those Mr. Microphone commercials were pretty cheesy!
Heh, I'll bet the "average" person wouldn't know who Beowulf is!
That should have been "aka Word 10". I even missed it in preview.

Not really, My laptop has no floppy. I can buy one for it, but why?

Evolution is an Email client/PIM, not a file manager. Maybe you are thinking of Nautilus?
The XBOX is NOT very quiet. Fan and harddrive noise. Not too noticable when you have the volumne of your game cranked up though!
Funny you should mention that: MS FrontPage Restricts Free Speech II (It's True!)
Ever stop to think that maybe GE doesn't do the development on their website?
I'll bet he is talking about TQM: Total Quality Management.
You know, just because there aren't tags around his post doesn't mean he wasn't being sarcastic.
That is true on paper, but not on computer screens.

We should be seeing Ogg support on "dedicated" MP3 players soon, no?
Well, it has been modded up now, but it shouldn't have been. None of the software in that article will do what the poster is asking for: dictation.
