And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

so no clue what advantages it has.

I think the only real advantage is price, no?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Ginger, I'm not sure if the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility will help with installing XP updates, but I have known it to help with other installation issues in XP, so it may be worth a try: [link]

how foolish am I to try and connect an OS9.1 mac to my little network to offload files to wipe the old machine before disposing? It's wanting AppleShare, which I don't think OS-X does anymore
