DonkeyKongerko

Could have been an easy 6 there.

FUMBLEROOSKy!

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 07:20 PM) The patch seems to be an .exe file that you double click on, it installs, and then restarts your computer. I haven't found where the thing is so that I would need to do anything more with it. I'm still looking though... The patch has been examined by a number of security experts. That's the only reason I felt confident enough to run it. You shouldn't need to do anything else after you restart to be safe.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jan 4, 2006 -> 03:35 PM) That quote right there raises the red flags for me. I remember Matt Franco being nothing but a utility man in the MLB, now he is better than anyone on the Sox not named Konerko. Bull s***. The "otherwise" means if they had not used the statistics translation which they performed.

Yeah, the patch has been recommended by the Internet Storm Center and GRC.com so I think any individual can confidently install it. I fully understand how an organization would have its qualms about a 3rd party patch but calling this vulnerability severe is an understatement. This is the first time the ISC has ever recommended installation of a non-Microsoft patch for Windows and they don't hand out recommendations lightly. When MS finally releases theirs, you can always uninstall this one and install Microsoft's then. For those interested, this vulnerability has been around since Windows 3.0, but perhaps ironically, Windows XP/2000/Server are the most vulnerable operating systems because of the Microsoft Image Previewer that pops up (you can see it in the video). Also, a file with any extension like .jpg or .gif can actually be a .wmf file in disguise that Windows will still be able to open so consider yourselves warned. I got a weird IM the other day from someone I don't talk to linking to a random .jpg file. It was before I knew about this WMF vulnerability, but it may have been the same thing. Fortunately, I was using Firefox which was unable to open the image and just displayed a bunch of gibberish.

I wonder what the record for most missed GW field goals in a game is.

MLB.com has to have the ugliest and worst-moderated boards in the history of the internet.

When do playoff tickets go on sale?

http://www.grc.com/sn/notes-020.htm This thing is reportedly pretty nasty and tons of machines are vulnerable. Visiting a website with one bad file on it can infect your machine with tons of spyware even if you dont click on anything. Microsoft isn't releasing a fix for this until next week and it's recommended that you install the WMF patch utility here before then. I also found a video showing how easy it is to get.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 30, 2005 -> 12:32 PM) I'm not an XBox 360 fan. If I had to chose between XBox and PS3 it rests on a single point. PS3 will play the Nex-Gen DVDs (Blu-Ray) that are capable of High Def. 360 only uses regular DVDs but it is still very much capable of producing high definition video. It just requires more discs to store it all. Also, that March release date may be pushed back. Or this could just be another industry smokescreen although I typically associate those with that other console manufacturer.

Nice pics, I don't feel like searching but we had a thread like this before.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 1, 2006 -> 09:37 AM) This service depends on the following system componants. LexBce Server Remote Procedure Call (RPC) This might be where the problem is. That LexBce Server, that wouldn't be something left over from a Lexmark printer would it? I'm trying to install an HP printer now. Yep, that's exactly what it is. LexBce Server should also be in that services.msc list. Try to stop and restart LexBce if you can. Otherwise check the dependencies that LexBce has. I googled some ways to uninstall LexBce, but it sounds like Lexmark likes to make things difficult. More info here.

In services.msc, right click on the Print Spooler and select 'Properties'. What services are listed under the "Dependencies" tab?

Yeah this is pretty old but when I first saw it, there was a ton of free real estate.

Start->Run Type 'services.msc' and hit enter. There you should see a service called 'Print Spooler' and you can set it to automatically start up all the time.

Soxtalk is gonna have a heart attack soon if we keep eatin all this stuff. I had pot stickers.

I like to make it loop endlessly by drawing some connected shape out of plant surrounded by spouts and then setting the plants on fire. The fire travels around burning up the plants but the spouts keep creating new ones.

I think Peter Angelos' toilet has been clogged for a while now.

I never thought falling sand could be so fun. http://chir.ag/stuff/sand/

Wow loss estimates for just today are at $400 million. The estimate for this whole week is $1.6 billion.

I like Bobolitt too even though the Carver looked fatter.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 03:37 PM) How do you figure? Do you own a PS1 and PS2? My only guess is it was just an anti-Microsoft flame. Considering we know a little more than jack about the PS3 and less about the Revolution, I would say right now 360 is the best console out there.

It's common sense but the earlier you bid, the higher the final price is likely to be. I almost never bid on auctions with more than an hour left.
