Windows Genuine Advantage's newest setting: "you might be a pirate"



Although the Windows Genuine Advantage Notification tool is "optional," Microsoft is in the process of pushing out the tool as a "critical" and thus automatic update (affectionately dubbed WGA Notifications 1.7 KB905474). The update has been known about for over a month, but users are just now seeing it show up as a critical update to Windows XP.

I can't see that James Cameron has necessarily found anything interesting. It was on tv tonight that "Jesus" was a very common name & bearing in mind that Jesus's body was "removed" from the earth (according to the bible) I really fail to see how it could be him. Wait for the "follow up" to the Da Vinci Code LOL!

Students in an advanced Biology class were taking their mid-term exam. The last question was: "Name seven advantages of "Mothers Milk". Worth 70 points or none at all. One student, who had partied late the night before, was frustrated to think of seven advantages.

He wrote:

1. It is perfect formula for the child.

2. It provides immunity against several diseases.

3. It is always at the right temperature.

4. It is inexpensive.

5. It bonds the child to mother, and vice versa.

6. It is always available as needed.

And then, the student was stuck. Finally, in desperation, just
before the bell rang, indicating the end of the test, he wrote:
7. It comes in such cute containers!

He got an "A"

PUNISHMENT TO FIT THE CRIME



One day mom was cleaning juniors room and in the closet she found a bondage S+M magazine. This was highly upsetting for her.

She hid the magazine until his father got home and showed it to him.

He looked at it and handed it back to her with out a word.

She finally asked him, "Well what should we do about this?"

Dad looked at her and said, "Well, I don't think you should spank him."






CANDLE OF FERTILITY



A couple desperate to have a baby went to their priest and asked him to pray for them. "Next week I am going to Rome and while I am there I will light a candle for you," he replied.

Three years later the priest returned to his parish and went to see the young couple's house and found the wife to be pregnant and busy attending to two sets of twins. The priest felt very elated and asked the girl where her husband was so that he could congratulate him.

"He has gone away for a while," came the harried reply.

"Where has he gone," asked the priest.

She replied," To Rome, to blow the damn candle out!"



HAM & CHEESE



This man and this woman share a bunk bed with their son. The man and woman sleep on the top and the kid sleeps on the bottom. One night when the kid is asleep, the parents climb to their bed. The man says to the woman, "Say ham when you want it harder, say cheese when you want it softer."

All through the night the kid hears, "HAM, HAM, HAM, cheese, HAM, HAM, HAM, cheese!"

When the kid wakes up the next morning, he tells his mother, "Mommy, you got to stop making those ham and cheese sandwiches at night cause I end up getting mayonnaise all over me!"

TIME FOR A LITTLE SNACK TONIGHT

Restaurant creates 123-pound burger (there's no way you finish this one!)


Feb 26, 2007 - 9:20 PM - by Digital Dave
Oh... my... god...

I have to order one.

The sizable sandwich features an 80-pound beef patty, along with a pound each of lettuce, ketchup, relish, mustard and mayonnaise, 160 slices of cheese, up to five onions and 12 tomatoes.

It's topped with a couple of pounds of banana peppers, then sandwiched into a 30-pound bun. Don't forget the garnish of 33 pickles.

There's a pretty hefty price tag, too: $379.

Critical JavaScript flaw hits Firefox

Critical JavaScript flaw hits Firefox

Error could allow for remote exploits
Shaun Nichols in California, vnunet.com 26 Feb 2007

Mozilla has confirmed a potentially serious flaw in its open source Firefox browser.

Developer Michal Zalewski, who uncovered the flaw, described it as " seemingly pretty nasty, and apparently easily exploitable".

The vulnerability affects current versions of Firefox for all major PC platforms, according to Zalewski's report.

The use of a certain JavaScript instruction can cause Firefox to crash, allowing an attacker complete access to a system and the ability to run malware remotely.

Zalewski said that the attack could be carried out by convincing a user to access a specially-crafted HTML file that hosts JavaScript code targeting the vulnerability.

Bugzilla, the error-tracking system used by Mozilla, classifies the vulnerability as 'critical', the second-highest priority.

The vulnerability has only been demonstrated as a proof-of-concept code and there have been no reports of active exploits.

The disclosure comes on the same day that Mozilla released an update for Firefox, which does not address the JavaScript flaw.

Mozilla and the US Computer Emergency Readiness Team urged users to mitigate the vulnerability by disabling JavaScript in Firefox.

My bitch, my best buddy Brandon has been in and out of home since he got kicked out. Got into a nasty fight with his mom and she tried to choke him. He kicked in his bedroom door and it came off the hinges.

He had been with a girl who already had a kid and they were going to stay together, now he broke up with her and is with another one.

We all think he got her pregnant and we all don't know what to do, I'm hoping she's not... hes 16 and still in a remedial school and my best friend.

Man, I'm worried sick about him.

I might get to see him on friday if all goes right and really talk shi* out.

Edit:

I've also been having home problems. Been lying to my mom about homework and got into some serious trouble with the cops. Got it sorted except for homework. I'm trying to catch up so I don't repeat the 10th grade.

@Estuansis

Hang in there for your friend. And learn when to party and when you need to study. Just takes a little discipline to achieve that balance. Sometimes it means you're home alone studying /homeworking while buddies are out partying. Sure beats repeating a grade tho!

a note to ye,do not tailgate a woman,reason she's a bad shot...


Woman allegedly pulls out a handgun and shoots at the tires of a tailgator

HARRISON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - A woman who told authorities she was fed up with tailgaters pulled out a gun and shot at the tires of a pickup that got too close, police said. Officials believe the bullet missed the pickup, and no one was hurt. Bernadette Headd, 39, was in rush-hour traffic Wednesday in suburban Detroit when the pickup pulled behind her, police said.

Headd changed lanes and fired one round from a 9 mm handgun, police said. The driver followed her and flagged down a deputy, who stopped her and found the weapon.

"She said she was tired of people tailgating her," Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said.

Headd, who had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, discharge of a firearm from a vehicle and use of a firearm during a felony.

She was ordered held on $50,000 bond.

Neph, the cop trouble wasn't that serious... but it got me a nice fine.

I guess I'll tell.

I had smoked up the night before and after cleaning out my pipe I was too blazed to get up and put it back and threw it in my pocket just so it wouldn't be laying on my floor(parents don't care but it pays to be careful.)

But I wasn't careful enough and put the same pants on the next day cause I woke up late. It fell out of my pocket in the locker room after gym and the teacher saw it.

I was lucky to get off with just a fine for drug paraphernalia. $109 which I paid out of my own money and a months grounding for getting caught.

Don't get me wrong. I'm no pothead or druggie. I've never tried hard drugs(crack, dust, meth,) and I never will. I get high once or twice a month, luck permitting.

And the home work situation is improving by far. I fell to a D+ average but brought it back up to a B-.

So no ass whooping needed Neph :)

EDIT: I'm still missing a few assignments and such but I've been getting them in almost all at once now :)

No real complaint today my new job is going well although I don't like getting up at six to go to work it is good to get off at 2 instead of working nights like I did with my old job.

Plus I got to pick my own schedule when I got hired which is awesome considering most places say "Hey you want to work for us? Good while here is your shift" and you don't get a say in what your hours are.

Microsoft to charge for Daylight Saving hotfixes for older products
Posted by Mary Jo Foley @ 10:52 am Categories: Windows server, Corporate strategy, Office, Exchange Server, App Compatibility

5 votes Worthwhile?

March 11, the new date on which Daylight Saving Time (DST) will take effect in the U.S. and a growing number of other countries, is fast approaching. And Microsoft is working overtime to get the message out that users need to patch a bunch of their Microsoft products, from Exchange Server, to Windows Mobile, in order to head off date-change headaches.

There's one bit of DST fine print that Microsoft isn't sharing quite so readily, however. (I discovered it by wading through a slide deck that Microsoft is providing to analysts to get them up-to-speed on the company's DST guidance.)

Page 20 of the deck mentions that Microsoft has decided, due to the number of customers and products affected by the DST 2007 changes, to "amend the regular Extended Hotfix support program." If you need to patch older Microsoft products that already have moved from "Mainstream" to "Extended" support phase, Microsoft will give you a chance to buy the hotfixes you need ? for $4,000.

Microsoft explains:

"For products that have entered into the Extended Support phase, Microsoft will provide customers with the opportunity to purchase the DST 20007 hotfix at a reduced price of Four Thousand Dollars (US $4,000). Customers will only be charged a single fee of $4,000 to obtain all hotfixes, for products in Extended Support phase, needed to update their systems for DST 2007.

"For customers who have previously purchased DST 2007 hotfixes for products in Extended Support, Microsoft will reimburse the difference to them under the new pricing category."

A Microsoft spokesman said that the $4,000 price represents a substantial discount.

"Originally, all the out-of-support patches were $40,000 each. However, we realized this hardship and lowered the price to $4,000 for ALL THE DST PATCHES for our customers best interest. The $4,000 is to just cover costs," he said.

Windows Server 2000, Exchange Server 2000, Outlook 2000 and a number of other Microsoft products are currently in the Extended Support phase. The full list of Microsoft products affected by DST 2007 changes is here.

Thats probably the dumbest thing I have ever heard, MicroRich, I mean Micro$oft, charges you for them to fix something they broke? After you buy a $300-$3000+ operating system (~$300 for Windows XP Pro, more for the real business OS's)

They expect you to pony up $4,000 to fix something that they probably broke on purpose just to get themselves more money?

@Neph, its very true.

My bitches:

Gas mileage, my truck gets about 10 miles per gallon if I am lucky I can get 12-13. I love my truck and it looks nice for the most part.

The sucky thing is as much as I love driving a truck as people seem to be nicer to you in traffic due to your size, I hate what it does to my pocket book having to put gas in it two or three times a month depending on how much I drive.

Bitch deuce, thick-headed people. I know that everyone is thick headed at one time or another but at work today I had one person (ok more like 3-4, unluckily all in a row, but one in particular) that I had to repeat a "rebuttal", aka a lawyer approved statement, about seven times before they requested a supervisor who said the exact same thing about four times before the person finally got it and said they would call the representative they had talked to back and said good bye.

After days of searching for the case I want...I finally find some from Falcon Northwest that will do...I phone them...they have two that they will not use in their current builds...they no longer use the case that I want...They are used and have damage...they send me pictures and the price for one of the cases...Over the years I have steered many a customer to Falcon Northwest for their custom painted cases...with-in 5 minutes of the first E-mail...I Receive a second E-mail stating...

Needless to say...Falcon will never receive another endorsement from me...I guess its time to just go to one of the local custom car shops...and have my own case painted...I am sure I will get a better job...done exactly to my specifications...at a cheaper price...I just did not want to have to wait for the process to be done...

@Lp531, that is very poor customer service. Especially after they said you could get one only five minutes before.

A local body shop could do it for you but it would probably be kind of expesive but it depends on how detailed you want it. If you have drawing skills or can get multiple angled shots printed from an online design they could do it for you easily.


Peace

What pisses me off is...they have not sold this style case in the last 3 years...these were used with a scratch...its not like $500 was a deal on the case...I bet they still have those cases lying around in 3 more years...

Falcon does not even paint them...they sub it out to smooth creations:
http://www.smoothcreations.com/pilot.asp?pg=system-avatar

I just do not want to ship a case to Oregon...and wait a month or more to get it back...One nice thing about being in Modesto...Lots of Custom Hot Rod Shops with unbelievable painters...From now on if a customer wants something custom...I will have it produced locally...
