  1. IP is resolving, but nothing is passing through on GoDaddy Goes Down, Anonymous Claims Responsibility · · Score: 1

    My company's Exchange server's correct IP is resolving, and I can use OWA to send mail to internal recipients, but nothing sent to mail.{mycompany}.com is arriving.

  2. I still love my Jarts! on The 10 Most Dangerous Toys of All Time · · Score: 1

    When my father-in-law passed away a few years ago, as we cleaned up the garage, we found an original boxed set of Jarts. They were a little scuffed up, but all the pieces were there. I thought about selling them on Ebay, but what the heck, they might still be fun!

    So, I took them to a NASCAR race at Richmond, where you tailgate all day long waiting for the night race. Guess what? Drunken red-necks love dangerous toys - they were the hit of the horseshoe set! A wild horseshoe gives you a bruise. A wild Jart gives you a story for the boys back home.

    I hate it when I'm right.... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artic le/2006/11/22/AR2006112201857.html

    FWIW, now that the game has been in the house for a few days, I kick their butts at bowling.

    Can't wait for the second generation of motion sensor games, the golf game only has 3 clubs.

  4. I don't have to read the article on PS3 and Wii — Head To Head · · Score: 1

    Here's some anecdotal evidence why the WII wins. Family: Husband 50, wife 55, children 20, 17, and 14. We own: Xbox 360, PS2, Gamecube, N64, original Nintendo (and we still play Tetris Attack on it), and probably 8 different variations of Gameboys, I've lost track. I don't want to know how many CD's and cartridges we have, I could probably retire a year earlier if we hadn't bought them. Daughter kills me at RPG's. Younger son complains about Mom's ability to crush him in all Metroid variations. Elder son has worked at Toys'R Us R-zone for two years, it's his dream job. He's the pimply-faced kid that every mother loves to talk to, he knows everything about all the systems. We're baby-boomer upper-middle class, we can afford a new system or even two. So where's the excitement around the house? WII, hand's down. It's all about the play - Mom, Dad, and the young ones agree.

    Whatever. It's the same as the typically obscure *nux command line.

    Actually, Threni, if you make a little REG file, like this:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.EXT\PersistentHandler]
    @="{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"

    Replace the EXT with your extension, and text search works.
