I expect Cowboy Neil to deliver the mail on Saturday.

Obviously the greatest sport never played. Javelin Catching!

Damn, where's my Cowboy Neil option? I'm sure seeing him vampire hunt would be hilarious!

I have had a Windows 6 phone and a Windows 7 phone. Windows 6 was basically a short screen version of Windows XP. One reason I had for sticking with Windows phones was their interoperability with their other products (such as MSSQL, IIS, Exchange, etc) and the other products previous versions. However, Windows 7 phones won't interact properly with certain older email servers at least without a patch to the phone.

And in my case, AT&T won't roll that patch out. In theory, this means I might have a beef with AT&T but I'd think that Microsoft would put better compatibility software from the beginning.

Next time, I'll probably go with an iPhone since I already know they work and it'll be easier on trying to track down accessories.

Here's the thing - I could spend another 6 hours troubleshooting the new 3rd party driver, or finding it, only to be in the same spot I'm at now. Or I could nip out to the local retailer, buy a card, slap it in, download and install drivers for it, and I know that'll work. The question is how much money is my time worth? Hence why the title of the post is 'Sometimes Yes You Do'.

Hence why 'Sometimes'

I have a MB with a built in RealTek sound 'card'. I also run Windows XP 64, cause I'm crazy. The RealTek system for XP 64 is notoriously unstable. When I played Champions Online, the game would disable the sound because it could and would crash the program. Borderlands took it the other route - you can run the program, but you will always crash when you hit level 10, due to the special level 'ding' sound for level 10. Solution? Get a sound card, or a new OS.

This is about business - if you write a book, you generally can't force somebody to publish it. Nobody can prevent you from writing it.

My own personal guess is that there's two reasons for this move:

1) The cost of containing damage from activist and/or religious hackers is higher than the income brought in by the offending site.

2) The loss of income from muslim clients is greater than the income brought in by the offending site.

Let's be clear - you have a freedom of speech in the US. And a freedom of religion. But you can't make Putnam Books publish to get your message out there.

More than just free email limits size. Size limits are one of the variables you can set in Exchange 2003, and I believe the default maximum email size is 5MB. Given that most private organizations do not have unlimited email space, setting a limit on size is just as important as monitoring the size of the Information Store. (Fair warning, I may be wrong about the specific default max email size for exchange 2k3.)

After seeing left 4 dead, and any other zombie movie/game you care to name, I'm kind of happy to see the lack of a Cowboy Neil option.

While the Lori Drew verdict was about legal responsiblity, there is a difference between legal and ethical responsiblity. Ethically, Lori Drew is responsible for a girl taking her own life. If somebody in that house didn't feel ethically responsible, they wouldn't have bothered covering it up.

We can do very little legally to protect our children from this kind of thing. That's just the way it is.

One issue brought up in the article is scientists don't know the value of the information they produce. The pieces of information created by scientists can't be divided up into portions of equal value because what is valuable to one scientist is going to be based upon their field of interest and research. The problem is that your "consumer audience" isn't a single market of half a million scientists, it's half a million markets that happen to be made up of scientists.
