Notice the molding on the "H-Suit" worn by the male model. Will the female version have a bust molded into it, and be missing that raised portion on the cod-piece?
In Exchange 5.5, you can't have a 20GB priv.edb. You have to buy the "Enterprise Edition" for stores, priv or pub, larger than 16GB. It does say, or did a few years back when we bought Exchange, that starting with version 5.5, the limit was done away with. But, if you read the start-up messages for Exchange in the Application log, it states that it is limited to 16GB.
I can't comment on Exchange 2000, since we have no plans to update anytime soon.
Yes, you can. The package is called Back Orifice 2000, and freeware alternative to SMS. Don't install McAfee VirusScan though, as it IDs BO2K as a virus.

Yeah, but thank God there isn't someone handing you a new piece every 2 seconds!
Perhaps they should. We could have a blind-folded laptop rebuilding contest like the carb-building contest on the Dukes of Hazzard. The winner would get five positive moderations on/. as a reward.
He wasn't the only one. Most of the "official" presenters I heard yesterday were not giving well-rehearsed speeches, and sounded like they were leaning on the prompters pretty heavily. I listened to a spokeslady for, IIRC, the State Dept. on my way home, and her delivery was punctuated by the sounds of large sheets being turned/flipped/moved. I figured they were using flashcards, instead of spending extra time and expense getting teleprompt equipment set up.
Really? On the Desktop? I never thought about that. I've been saving my stuff in the filing bucket named Recycle Bin. It keeps my files together, and I am protecting Mother Earth by recycling.
No, that's self-defense. The presentation of one's cause through the terrorizing of others is terrorism.
To put it another way, if the people are unable to fight back, what is to prevent the government from controlling the news at $WEAPON_OF_THE_DAY-point, and extracting abject obedience from the people at $WEAPON_OF_THE_DAY-point?
But this strays from the topic at hand, even farther than before.
True. "Back of the plane" could be anything, including the passengers forced into the aisles and as far back as they could go. Please bear in mind that this was WIBC. For those who aren't familiar with WIBC in Indy, (and I was shocked to be reminded tonight), it is a VERY isolationist station. Their premier talk-show host, and the one taking calls tonight, is exuding a VERY racist slant, seemingly advocating the closing of the US-Mexican border to stop the "immigrant invasion" of America.
Since Q-95 was playing music again, I was listening to Emmis (WIBC's parent) for presentation of today's events.
A person I worked with at a prior job related the following to me: His brother flew on a commercial airline with his shotgun in carry-on luggage. He wrapped it in a few pairs of sweats, then in a couple towels and packed clothing around it in a duffel bag.
Aside from the fact that this should not have been neccesary, it is not hard for a determined person to circumvent the airline restrictions.
Thanks. I found out tonight that we host accounting and payroll for part of the military here, too.
Nevertheless, I'm still scared, and I would be no matter where I was, whether in Indy, Shithouse Falls, ND or Washington, DC. I think that America is the target, not just specific strategic soft spots.
In poor taste, but at least if they bomb Lilly, the dust cloud will make me so high I won't notice anything else.
I was in the car taking my daughter to daycare. I turned on Bob & Tom here in Indy, and they had Dr. Will Miller on. I usually turn them off when he's on but the first thing I heard from him was that, "The country needs to recover from this shock, and regain its sense of security," or something closely along those lines. It sounds trite and immature now, but my first thought was that some celebrity had committed suicide, or that a "reality TV" show had taken an odd twist, the usual banalities that America seems to hang baited breath on. Then they announced what had happened, and I began debating turning around and taking my daughter home. When they announced that no evacuations were taking place in Indy, I went ahead and took her to school. It sounded fishy to me that NOTHING was happening downtown, but I decided that if things were not to the point of evacuation in "target" areas, then I could take her to school. That decision tortured me all day, and still does. There were no attacks here, but my imagination and and worries are still in hyperdrive. I accomplished close to nothing at work, and am thanking God that my godmother got out of NYC OK (she wasn't near WC, but still), and that my family is safe, for now. Still doesn't alleviate the worry, I don't know that I can sleep tonight. Where is the next target? After today, nothing seems "impossible."
BTW, I am planning on going down to Camp Atterbury this Sunday for target practice. I definitely want to put some more rounds through my M1 before I am really comfortable with it. Seems more imperative now. Any/.'ers in the Indianapolis area want to come? I'll be checking this de-spammified address: die_goober@spammified.hotmail.com
for replies.
I usually maintain a minor case of paranoia, and trips to Atterbury have a veneer of the same to start out, but we generally have a damn good time and strike up some provocative conversations with other folks on the range. We may be a bit more subdued this weekend, though. Still, unless circumstances intervene, I intend to be at the range improving my aim, and having the best time possible.
According to reports here in Indy, on WIBC, the pilot on the plane that went down outside of Pittsburg was in the back of the plane with the passengers. The story was that the hijackers didn't have to force the pilots to do what they wanted, they simply relocated them, and flew the plane themselves.
Yes, inside of Cheyenne Mountain, IIRC. In Indy I heard mention of THREE planes that no further mention was made of. Supposedly in Akron, OH and Cleveland, OH there were liners either forced down or shot down by the USAF. There was supposedly one circling DC with a huge fighter escort that communications were "not good" with. That was at about 11:30 EST.
but it'd be a natural target for scaring the US.
At my office, people were upset about the whole thing, but expressed relief hat we are out in the middle of nowhere, and not a "prime target". I kept thinking that Indy is one of the larger cities in the country now (Top 20 I think), and from a psycological point, I would put us up high. If an enemy can strike into the (roughly) center of the country, they could strike anywhere. The world had to re-assess the possible and impossible today, so nothing should be ruled out. These are guerilla tactics so what could be next? One of our national landmarks has fallen with a tragic loss of life. Could destroying Fort Knox have an impact? The Disney parks were evacuated, they certainly would seem to be targets, if a high casualty count was the key. Mount Rushmore? The Alskas Pipeline? Certainly the loss of life would be less, but it would still be a psycological attack on our national pride and spirit. Maybe the Goodyear blimp is the next target, and the SuperBowl will be hit.
On the surface, some of these seem wacked out, and paranoid, but the more I think about them, and the terrible things that happened today, the more plausible these possiblilties sound.
I suppose I should put a closing rant tag here, but I am scared to dribbling tonight, and what I just wrote helped. I am scared for my family, my wife and year old daughter, since most of the certainty has gone out of out lives today. I spent some time this afternoon making sure that my personal weapons, such as they are, are in good order, for just that reason. I am going to be sleeping very lightly tonight, if I can get to sleep at all. It's a thousand miles or so from where my wife and little girl are sleeping tonight to where people dead and dying, are trapped by who knows how many tons of debris, are risking their lives to help the victims of this attack, but there is no way to know if my town, my house, my family is the next target.
Today is over here, it is almost 23:00 EST. All that means to me is, I can't see what is outside, what is in the sky. If a plane flies over my house tonight, I will hope that it is flown by an ally. I am not afraid of the dark, but rather what may be in the dark. Today's attacks were not against New York, or the White House, or the Pentagon. They were attacks upon America, and everyone in America was targetted, whether physically or spiritually. I cannot begin to imagine the loss and suffering of those who were harmed or had loved ones harmed today, all I can say is that I am scared.
There ain't no scalping Redskins no more (just peaceful ones locked up in Reservations). That war was won long ago, but that was the reason for the oft vaunted "right to bear arms".
Hate to jump into a tangent like this, but that is a bit off. Read the papers and journals of the founding fathers. They express fear and concern about a federal government growing too strong, and the Second Amendment is one of the primary checks against the that happening. Many of the men who drafted the Bill of Rights argued about the first and second Amendments, not about their validity or neccesity, but about their order. The Rights acknowledged as belonging to the People against the Gorvernment by the Second Amendment are what protect the Rights acknowledged by all the other Amendments, and as such many felt that the right to "Keep and Bear Arms" without infringement should be the First on the list.
You should report that to the Better Business Bureau, and especially to the Governor's office. O'Bannon has apparently made a statement to effect that the Indiana Government will not tolerate price-gouging at the pumps, and will prosecute stations doing so to the extent that they can.
I just walked in the door. The Marathon @ 86th St. and Ditch was charging $1.91 for 87 octane. I don't know if that's unusual for them as I don't trade there. Speedway at the same intersection was charging $1.57. They had their signs half-down as if they started to change them, then stopped. So did Shell across the street. Speedway employees were on the tarmac doing a half-assed job of directing traffic, and making a big show of checking their tank levels.
I just spoke with the Northside branch (Range Line Rd in Carmel) and was told they will stay until they have served all donors that are there by 20:00 EST. I am number 163 in line, they haven't reached number 100 yet. They recommended to me that if I didn't want to wait until who knows how late tonight, to call back tomorrow (or go in).
One station here in INDY raised its prices to $3.60/gal. for 87 octane, due to a misunderstanding. Seems that a clerk overheard a conversation regarding high prices elsewhere, and unilateraly raised prices. When the manager returned from lunch, the prices were returned to their proper level.
No name was mentioned on the report I saw, and I don't wish to speculate based on the shot of a wall they showed.

If you can't give blood, please give money, if you can. The Red Cross needs funds, and there is a PayPal account listed above.
Thanks. I found out tonight that we host accounting and payroll for part of the military here, too.

God bless. Know that they are in our prayers here in Indy, those that survived, those that didn't, and those that may not.

AFAIK, Building 7 housed the BATF and OSHA.
