If a company uses an outside firm to do blocking of non-work-appropriate websites, are attempts to reach blocked sites typically logged in any way?

(Today I'm using a computer our client lent us. It's connected to their network via VPN. I tried to go to b.org on it, but it was blocked. So I gotta switch back and forth between my two computers to go to b.org.)

I'm just being needlessly paranoid, right?

I can't answer your question, Tom, but if you want to avoid using two computers, try alt.buffistas.net.

Okay, serious Outlook form question - how the fuck can I make it stop putting my signature in the Message field???

(I'm not composing an email, I'm designing a form. A form which will be used by OTHER PEOPLE to send information TO ME. Having my sig there makes NO SENSE, OUTLOOK. ARGGGGGGGGGGGH.)

are attempts to reach blocked sites typically logged in any way?

I figure that will depend on the software and on the configuration thereof.

Tom, I decided I didn't want to pry open the Apple TV, so that's why I didn't go that way. Transcoding is just fine. It's not a killer app, exactly, but it is nifty. I think it could have stood more thinking out.

Welcome too the 22nd century, Sox. It's kinda cool, huh?

very.

I just met my sister's BF over Skype. I may not have a rocket car, but this is still cool, and a whole lot safer.

Can the AppleTV have additional Hard Drives attached (USB or FW)? If not, I'd lean towards the Mini. Then it's real easy to add additional storage space, you have your DVD player, and you can burn things from it too.

Of course, I have no AppleTV, so no clue what advantages it has.

so no clue what advantages it has.

I think the only real advantage is price, no?

You can rent HD movies on the Apple TV, but you can't on a Mini.

I can use Mac Minis to create a 66-screen video wall. You know, if I wanted to.

Does anyone know how I can make designing a form in Outlook less annoying?

not use Outlook?

I wish I could help, Jessica, but until your question I didn't know Outlook forms existed. It's very confusing that they call them forms, since forms means something else entirely on the web.

I'm going to throw this out in case anyone has ever figured this one out. I cannot install Windows XP updates because Update keeps giving me the message that it can't install Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130). I have done any number of things suggested online. I have turned off my virus and spyware protection. I have reloaded Update, both through the Microsoft site and manually, many times. I have made sure the ActiveX permissions can run. I have downloaded the validation tool as a separate program. Throughout all of this, I have done several diagnostics that say that yes, I have genuine Windows products.

I am actually usually fairly content with MS, but right now I hates them. My head hurts.
