Then why do they want you to type this when you re-set up your database?

Office 2010 is version 14. Where did version 13 go? I guess Office 2008.5 wouldn't work for their numbering scheme.
Reports of IE Hijacking NXDOMAINs, Routing To Bing 230
Jaeden Stormes writes "We just started getting word of a new browser hijack from our sales force. 'Some site called Bing?' they said. Sure enough, since the patches last night, their IE6 and IE7 installations are now routing all NXDOMAINs to Bing. Try it out — put in something like www.DoNotHijackMe.com." We've had mixed results here confirming this: one report that up-to-date IE8 behaves as described. Others tried installing all offered updates to systems running IE6 and IE7 and got no hijacking.
Update: 08/11 23:24 GMT by KD : Readers are reporting that it's not Bing that comes up for a nonexistent domain, it's the user's default search engine (noting that at least one Microsoft update in the past changed the default to Bing). There may be nothing new here.

Have you used VNC with 24-bit color? It's slow to refresh when I'm away from home.
NX is nice and all, but the "need to match color depth" is a show stopper. Even X won't let me run in 32-bit color. The best I can make it do is 24-bit.
Comment Will they fix the different per-bit color? (Score 1) 257
The one thing that keeps me from running NX is that it won't let me connect to my session unless both the server and client run the exact same color depth. With VNC, I can connect to my 16-bit color X session at home on my 32-bit color Windows client at work. With NX, unless both desktops are running the exact same color depth, it won't connect. If there's a way around this, Google's search hasn't shown me anything.

Idaho is very typically a red state, but if you go by any of the parties that get thrown down here for primaries and whatnot, you'll find that Ron Paul was better liked than McCain. I think it's the first time disgruntled democrats and gruntled republicans every agreed on someone in this state.
