Mod parent up!!
Half the other posts on here should be modded troll or flamebait. Buncha dumb-ass knowitall slashdotters...
For the record, I'm 30 years old and have never talked that way. Hell I wasn't even educated in the USA!
But since I actually have been outside of my home town a time or two I understand that different people look/act/talk in different ways depending on their background/age/social status etc. etc.
Damn, y'all, getta clue...
A 1st Tier manufacturer (e.g. HP, Compaq et al or anybody who uses proprietary mbd's) will also have a proprietary BIOS (with their name/logo if nothing else). When the BIOS is tweaked for their custom board the default settings are chosen at design time.
Any other manufacturer just uses the BIOS which ships with the board which is itself, you guessed it, setup at design time.
So it's a moot point. BIOS/CMOS settings are different for every model of board. There's nothing for OEM's to worry about on the production line...
Worst case is somebody screws up at the BIOS manufacturer and sets something wrong in which case the guys who write the install scripts have to do a little research and throw a few extra lines of code in to update the BIOS.
It is the top side, (which the laser never passes through), that is missing in the cheap CDR's...
The good CDR's do have a top layer of plastic under the decal forming a plastic "sandwich" around the media.
The only way to tell is to look at the edge of the CDR. The good ones have a seam where the plastic layers are fused together. The cheap ones have no seam and it's obvious that they are slightly thinner when compared to a good one.
...there was a "male pill" already being examined by the FDA...? Like it's supposed to be released sometime in the next year!
Anybody know anything more about that?
That's only a problem with cheap CDR's. The better CDR's have the same thickness of plastic on both sides. (That's how the cheap ones get so cheap, they skip the second half of the plastic sandwich and just slap a decal right on top of the media.)
If you buy locally, and look really closely, you can usually see well enough into the package to avoid the crappy ones.
Mail-order you takes your chances!
(Or buy a brand/series you already know is good).
I'm not sure what you're needing to do but the Mail app which comes bundled with OSX does all that out of the box. The mail spools for each user are under their respective/user/joeblow/Library/Mail/Mailboxes They're even in standard 'nix spool format!
If you need to use a different app just point it to the right folder and let OSX do the rest...
If you read a little earlier in the comments you'll see that in order to prevent his site getting slashdotted he very kindly moved it to a temporary higher-capacity server.
So yeah, maybe he didn't transition the site perfectly - just be glad you even got to see that URL!!
I have wondered if these guys would ever push a stressed out sysadmin over the edge and wind up with a wild-eyed Hagrid-lookalike on their doorstop wielding a.45 and the will to use it!
I'm sure he'd get off on an insanity plea. Heck, I'd probably contribute to the defense fund.:)

Yes and no. His training is to investigate the depth and breadth of a case and the associated caselaw.
Here he sounds more like he's angling for a political career!:)

This should be a Poll!!
How do you stop your sled?

Ah, yes, but if you actually have to import or export data manually to integrate with other systems that don't have connectors (probably because MS would rather not have you talking to them) then guess what Microsoft suggests? Scripting!
And you know what those scripts need? Correct syntax!
And how is the syntax determined? By the underlying structure!
So yes, computers are just tools to get a job done, but when standards are munged so as to make using those tools as difficult as possible, then hey, guess what? You get non-knee-jerk anti-Microsoft comments.
Interestingly enough I was a MS contractor for awhile and I was suprised just how much of the crappiness that comes out of Redmond is NOT willfull evil but simple incompetence coupled with poor management and overzealous sales people.
But that doesn't let 'em off the hook!:)

Did you know that RTF is a MS standard...? And that it has slowly been growing as crufty as the .Doc format?
Here in Seattle I can get a 10Mb (up and down) wireless connection for $360 a month. Haven't been able to justify it yet, but maybe someday...! :)

I just read your page - pretty amusing! The last missive from them is dated May 7th though, I'm curious to know what's happened since then...?
Are these scripts you wrote yourself? Or did you get them from somewhere? Either way I'd be interested in taking a look at them. Could you post a URL?
Thanks!

What kind of handle does your TiBook have?

- a sexy new TiHandle!

Is it just me or are a lot of his responses half-answers and/or downright evasive...?
Since when has Uncle Sam worried about cost? :)
I about fell off my chair laughing at that! Wish I had some mod points...
