    I did a clean install of Feisty a few days ago using your method. Worked like a charm. Thanks!

    Oh and I forgot about the second part of your question. I don't know about Outlook, but with Thunderbird I share my profile with Windows and Ubuntu. You can also achieve this across your network.

    To set all this up you just have to be able to read/write to the location where the profile is located. Then you just point Thunderbird's profile manager to that folder. (thunderbird -profilemanager)

    Good luck with everything. If you need help with anything else, check out the Ubuntu forums... everyone is very helpful there.

  5. Re:Dual-boot on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you download the Alternate Install CD, you can choose where to install grub. Install it to a floppy or usb drive and you can use that file with the windows boot loader. This way if you want to remove the Ubuntu partitions in the future you won't have to worry about fixing the boot loader. It's been a while since I've done this, but this looks about right: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=56723

  6. Re:Will this really make a difference? on F-Secure Calls for '.safe' TLD · · Score: 1

    In addition, with all the trojans and viruses around people should worry about their computer being '.safe'.

    As others have says all the .safe does is give a false sense of security, and it would probably be better to just teach people .safe computing and educate them about phishing.

    Competitive in the sense that they are competing with YouTube.

    This is the one that I used when I took these a few years ago... probably a bit out dated now that they have the Written section. http://www.amazon.com/Real-SATs-Third-College-Boar d/dp/0874477050

  11. Re:No Fly List. on Flying Faster Without ID · · Score: 1

    If you don't have a passport, consider getting one. They used to make a phone call when I went to the counter to check in my luggage and obtain my ticket (I couldn't print online because of "special processing" necessary for my ticket). I recently obtained a passport to fly to the Dominican Republic for spring break... I no longer have any problems at the airport.

    Completely unrelated, the security at the airport in the Dominican Republic was actually better than the security out of EWR ...go figure.


    Even more unrelated... they sold booze EVERYWHERE throughout the airport. I'm talking at least 20 different kiosks LOADED with everything from Dominican rum to Johnnie Walker Gold Label and El Presidente to Budweiser. There were also bars in the waiting areas.

  12. Re:They don't believe so strongly as to walk away. on Canadian Music Stars Fight Against DRM · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You see, it's not that easy.

    When they sign these record contracts, they are at the will of the label, and not the other way around. The label invests money in them, and oftentimes give advances to the artists. Artists are obligated to fulfill the terms of their contracts, and they can't just "walk away" from their record contracts.

    Just to address the throwing around of "the consitution"...

    I don't remember there being anything in the constitution about pornography, smoking, or alcohol... except for when they decided no one could have alcohol and then they changed their mind. In any case, you bring up a good point.

    Synergy isn't just some buzzword:

    synergy: [noun] a mutually advantageous conjunction of distinct elements

    Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).
    (I have no stock in this software, I just think it's useful.)
