What the $^@# is Wrong?

It looks like Jonathon Seidl, who write’s for Glenn Beck’s site The Blaze, decided to take a bold step and wrote an opinion piece on Reddit.com. (Article)

If you are unfamiliar with Reddit, it’s a social news site similar to Digg.com, but without the crap.  I personally switched over to Reddit from Digg after the Digg v4 fiasco and I’ve never looked back.  With Reddit, you can personalize your front page by “subscribing” (+frontpage) to categories which are called subreddits.  You can find a subreddit for almost anything, because subreddits are user owned, operated, managed, and content driven.  That is what gives Reddit such a dynamic feel, and you can make it give you the exact content that you want to see. What amazed me the most about Reddit, is that one person was running the whole operation, and just recently, he hired a second person.

That being said, Mr. Seidl’s article focuses on how you can find adult material through subreddits and how there is offensive language on certain subreddits. What a revelation… there is porn on the internet /s.   This is nothing new. It’s not on anyone’s front page by default, and you would have to actively go and look for it to find it.  Just like anything else on the internet, if someone wants to find it, they will find it. Mr. Seidl, have you used Google lately? Rumor has it you can find bad things on there too.

With all subreddits, there is a subscriber count so people can keep track of a subreddit’s popularity.

(numbers are as of publishing this article)

/r/jailbait has 14,739 readers

/r/porn has 1889 readers

/r/ni**ers has 175 readers

Compare these to the subreddits I subscribe to

/r/funny/ has 584,007 readers

/r/WTF/ has 521,997 readers

/r/science/ has 517,763 readers

/r/politics/ has 484,832 readers

/r/IAmA/ has 199,633 readers

/r/todayilearned/ has 183,355 readers

/r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu/ has 121,620 readers

Are these numbers that anyone needs to be concerned with in the grand scheme of things?  I don’t think so.

Here are some of the “best” comments from Glenn Beck’s site.  It still suprises me how painfully ignorant these people are.

And here is what I would imagine Reddit’s response to be

So, I heard you have a sinkhole..

I know what can fix a sinkhole… Photoshop CS5′s Content Aware Fill

There…  good as new.

Running Outlook 07 on Exchange 03 hasn’t been an issue here until I had to setup a new employee.

I setup the profile, configured Outlook 07, and tried it out. The client was always saying “Disconnected”  This setup was the same as all others when I went to Office 07, except they were all using Office 03 before and I migrated the settings to 07.

The local firewall wasn’t blocking communication.
There were no errors in the Event Viewer on the client or the server.
No error message from Outlook
Remaking the Mail profile did not help.

I started searching online for an answer, and I came across this post.  Similar symptoms, but my user is a domain user, not a local user.

Issue: Outlook 2007 not able to connect to exchange server 2003 under local user account to setup email account once Office 2007 SP2 update is applied to your computer.
Solution: There is no such fix solution for this problem at the moment. You can still setup an exchange 2003 email account on your computer if you are logged in as domain user. If you want to setup an exchange email account on outlook 2007 when you are logged in on your computer as local user, then you need to make sure you don’t apply office 2007 SP2 update on your computer.

I figured I would give it a try.  I setup the person’s e-mail account using Outlook 2003 on my laptop with the roaming profile, and then went to the new employee’s laptop and logged in, had Outlook 2007 migrate the settings, and it worked.
