  3. That's some keen fucking reporting on Vista SP1 Update Locks Out Some Users · · Score: 5, Informative

    Echostorm writes with word that Windows Vista SP1, which began rolling out via Automatic Update, has left some users' machines unbootable.

    A forum post from last month about issues with the Vista SP1 Release Candidate (prerelease code, just to let Echostorm know). SP1 does not go out via auto updates until next month, and is only officially available to select system builders and beta testers now.

    It's unclear how many users are affected.

    I counted 5, including the guy who yanked his power cable and trashed his filesystem.

    So far there is no word on a fix from Microsoft.

    It might possibly be fixed in the RTM version of SP1. Who knows? Certainly not Echostorm, who is having a poopie because he hosed his own PC and is trying to drum up a whine-fest about it. Definitely not kdawson either, who posted this because, well, it's kdawson.

    This is taking slashvertisments to the preschool tantrum level.

    Overpriced, burnt coffee AND two whole HOURS of free shitty Wi-Fi! How can we lose? Do they offer an extended warranty to go with it?

  6. Re:Never mind the physics on Physicist Calculates Trajectory of Tiger At SF Zoo · · Score: 1

    A shotgun slug won't penetrate well at all (it's a subsonic round and has a high cross sectional area).

  10. Re:Beer advertisers should be ashamed on Microsoft 'Open Value Subscription' is None of the Above · · Score: 3, Funny

    You're doing it wrong. YOU are supposed to provide large amounts of beer to the beautiful women; so that THEY think your fat, lonely and depressed self looks like the hunk on TV.

    Public folders have gone away in Exchange 2007

    They are in there, just disabled by default. If you use Outlook 2003 or older they are required, so Exchange 2007 includes them.
