Huh. There is no "Services." I wonder if only the administrator can do it.

Hmm. It might be that your mail server is configured so you can't make changes like that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, one of our servers has been moved to a DMZ, so I can no longer get to it by mapping it as a network drive in Windows Explorer. Because it's in the DMZ it's no longer part of our domain.
I'm fairly clueless when it comes to Windows networking and all that Active Directory crap. So, do we have to make this server be its own domain controller (with active directory) or can we make it still be part of our domain even though it's not on the same network as our other 'puters? (The way it is now I can't map to it because it has no domain controller.) I have tried telling our domain controller where to find the DMZ'd computer but couldn't get it to work.
eta: Or are we stuck with FTPing to this computer?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm not an expert in securing Windows servers, but enabling file sharing or AD on a DMZ system sounds like a bad idea.

vw, I'm pretty sure you can change it in the account information. On my version, that would be Tools | Options | Mail Delivery |Accounts, then double-click the account.

Yeah, it does kinda.
Actually, I only need file sharing on it because it's not set up properly to let Visual Studio .Net maintain web pages through HTTP. I suppose that's what I really should be fixing....

So, I have a bootleg copy of some evil empire software that I'm trying to install on my sister's computer, and it tells me I need the current version of EvilEmpire Installer to install it. So I go to EvilEmpire and download the latest versino of the installer.
And it still won't install the software.
Argh!

In another entry for the I'm-always-the-last-to-know file, apparently online retailers offer different prices to different people online depending on factors like whether you surfed a price-comparison shop previously or not.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From that article:
More than two-thirds of people surveyed also said they believed online travel sites are required by law to offer the lowest airline prices possible
I'm not saying it's right to fleece people, but come on -- don't make it so tempting!
"We don't let ourselves be tracked that way in any other facet of our lives. Why would you want that to happen while you're shopping?"
Don't we? At the very least, I know Barnes & Nobles and I have reached an agreement -- they know what I buy, I get some money off. I'm cheating Ralph's, but they certainly are still profiling my purchases and offering me coupons based on the pattern.
