Not me either. I haven´t deleted a post since a repeated racist remarks in FL forum and the troll-threads years ago. I absolutely HATE deletions - I usually only edit out offensive stuffs and put a public warning about why the post was unacceptable. If everything else fails I lock the threads - and I can unlock them when other mods find my actions too harsh. Deletion is the equivalent of capital punishment, a death sentence - a mod can never undo it.

ROTFL! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> happy birthdady from me <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

I googled around and found a solution in microsoft.com. Here it is just in case any of you find yourself in my position <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>: <font size=1 face="trebuchet ms"><BLOCKQUOTE><hr size=1 noshade>SUMMARY This article describes how to back up and restore your messages, Address Book, mail accounts, and news accounts in Outlook Express 5 and later. If multiple Identities are in use for Outlook Express, these steps should be repeated for each Identity and the backup data segregated accordingly. This will facilitate restoration of each Identity. MORE INFORMATION To backup Outlook Express data: • Copy mail files to a backup folder • Export the Address Book to a file • Export the mail account to a file • Export the news account to a file To restore or import Outlook Express data: • Import messages from the backup folder • Import the Address Book file • Import the mail account file • Import the news account file Copy Mail Files to a Backup Folder To make a backup copy of your Outlook Express e-mail message files: 1. On the Tools menu, click Options. 2. On the Maintenance tab, click Store Folder. 3. Select the folder location, and then press CTRL+C to copy the location. 4. Click Cancel, and then click Cancel again to close the dialog box. 5. Click Start, and then click Run. 6. In the Open box, press CTRL+V, and then click OK. 7. On the Edit menu, click Select All. 8. On the Edit menu, click Copy, and then close the window. 9. Right-click any empty space on your desktop, click New, and then click Folder. 10. Type mail backup for the folder name, and then press ENTER. 11. Double-click the Mail Backup folder to open it. 12. On the Edit menu, click Paste. 13. Close the Mail Backup window. Export the Address Book to a File NOTE: This step is very important when multiple Identities are in use. A .WAB (Windows Address Book) file is used by Outlook Express 5.x and 6.0 versions, even if multiple Identities are used. The individual data for each Identity is stored in a folder, by user name, within the .WAB file in use. Exporting this data, while logged in to a specific Identity, is the only means of segregating the Address Book data. If the .WAB file becomes dissociated from the user Identities, the data can only be exported in total - not folder by folder. Another reason to export the .WAB file to a .csv file is that if the .WAB file is shared with Microsoft Outlook, the addresses are stored in the *.pst file in Outlook. When you export the file from the Outlook Express File menu to a *.csv file it exports the correct contacts. If the Address Book is shared with Microsoft Outlook, you are not able to export from within the Address Book on the File menu. This option is dimmed or not available. To export your Outlook Express address book: 1. On the File menu, click Export, and then click Address Book. 2. Click Text File (Comma Separated Values), and then click Export. 3. Click Browse. 4.

Anybody knows how I can save all emails archived in my Outlook Express?

Drive C has 2.68GB free space. But I decide to format and reinstall. I´m currently backing up my por... I mean essential files <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Why won´t Windows Backup allow you to backup into a magnetic tape, but not cds?? this hacking my folders and files into 700 mb pieces have taken me all day.

Spybot, MS AntiSpyware, and Adaware (all up to date) confirm zero spyware existence. Tweaknow Regclean and RegCleaner also ensure me that nothing bogs the registry. It´s actually doing fine now (that´s what I meant with &quot;erratic&quot<img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> but it still pisses me off that I need to reconfigure my Firefox.

According to Halo: First Strike, the surviving Spartans are: 1. Master Chief 2. Fred 3. Will 4. Linda The four of them raided the Unyielding Hierophant, an event prior to Halo2, I think 5. Kelly, who was drugged and kidnapped by Dr Halsey just before the raid All other Spartans were incinerated on Reach, with the exception of THREE of them who were posted too far away to respond to Reach´s call for aid. So I assume there are eight surviving Spartans up to this point.

I didn´t know that they get hazardous pay or not, but probably because it´s a disaster area with diseases aplenty. I have no problem with you saying that there are terrorists here. I´ll be the first one to admit that. But your wording &quot;Indonesia is/was harboring terrorists&quot; is a big difference than saying that &quot;there are terrorists in Indonesia&quot;. There are definitely terrorists cells in USA, UK, Russia, Spain and perhaps every country in the world, but does that mean these countries/governments HARBOR terrorists? see the big difference between the two statements? The forum rules I was referring to is the no-politics rule, a rule I have broken twice <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> EDIT: Regarding hazard pay for Marines deployed in Indonesia, the stricken province of Aceh was plagued with insurgency by separatists - the Free Aceh Movement. There are risks of weapons contact, but with guerilla separatists, not terrorists (although Sri Lanka has her the Tamil Tigers, I don´t know how that works out). Which is a good thing - tens of thousands of marines and soldiers are already there trying to quash the rebellion and when the quakes and tsunamis hit they were the only standing structure in the area.

<font size=1 face="trebuchet ms"><BLOCKQUOTE><hr size=1 noshade>Indonesia is/was harbouring terrorists <hr size=1 noshade></BLOCKQUOTE></font><font face=´trebuchet ms, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica´ size=2> That statement is dangerous and false, and already against the forum rules. I can accept anyone saying that our counter-terrorism efforts are lacking or underfunded and understaffed, but to go and say that my country as a nation-state harbors terrorist is simply fallacious, and a disservice to our efforts as your ally against terrorism. The recent presidential election saw secular, nationalist parties trounce Islamic parties without even breaking a sweat. Our police force has &quot;racked up impressive records of arrests against terror suspects&quot; - Newsweek´s words. Yes we caught less than we want to, but give us a break. Those that we do catch we hold on to, and we have actually been bending basic human rights by detaining some of them longer than we´re supposed to. Indonesia has a long history of fighting besides United States against terrorism and before that, communism, despite the occasional lip-service that we were officially a non-bloc country. Read books by Ken Conboy about Indonesia for details about this. I thank you for your 350 million. I´d still thank you if it were 10 bucks. I don´t care how much Florida got - it´s your country and your money and you get to decide how to spend it.

<font size=1 face="trebuchet ms"><BLOCKQUOTE><hr size=1 noshade>They say that the covenant didnt expect humanity to be at earth, which is why the fleet they attacked with was so small, they went there for another reason, one that Regret obviously went down to the planet for. it could be another artifact link, im not sure. There is a reference to New Mombasa in I love bees but its just a passing reference. What annoyed me was the way Halo 2 contradicted &quot;First Strike&quot;, First Strike established that at Unyeilding Heidrophant (sp?) the covenant were building a massive arsed fleet to goto earth with, which would explain why the fleet is so small when it arives, however, cortana should have known that because she was part of the assault on it. <hr size=1 noshade></BLOCKQUOTE></font><font face=´trebuchet ms, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica´ size=2> So after getting their fleet of 500-odd ships and the Uneven Elephant kicked hard in the backside by Cossack admiral with Texan drawl and a junior lieutenant, the Covenants just shrug and decide to invade Earth half-assed with whatever remnants of that fleet anyway? And how does the Covenant social structure work? not their military structure, their social one. Do they know economy at all? why do they have all that massive fleets and millions of soldiers with no dangerous enemy to face? (before they met humanity and Flood, I mean) I know they keep expanding and converting races, but their gigantic military machine is still a bit of an overkill, isn´t it? who pays for all the stuffs? who MAKES the stuff? And considering assuming that Cortana had some sense to steal Covenant techs from Ascendant Justice, and perhaps even kidnap some of its Engineers, it´s very possible that the war can start turn around - seeing how humans can wield the Covenant technologies even better than the Covenants themselves.

<font size=1 face="trebuchet ms"><BLOCKQUOTE><hr size=1 noshade>now i have a more pressing question. if the rings were fired 100k years before the game how coem humans are still alive, also the coventant? obliviusly the rings arn´t that effective <hr size=1 noshade></BLOCKQUOTE></font><font face=´trebuchet ms, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica´ size=2> Obviously humans´ evolutionary ancestors were not sentient enough to be wiped out by Halo. Halo destroys only sentient lifeforms. So Halo has two functions: 1. preserve, contain and study the Flood 2. kill all Flood food, IF they escape And I think the Floods quarantined inside Halo are immune to Halo´s own destruction.

The books also emphasize that the Covenants steal and borrow their technologies from someone else. And the Covenant AI yelled &quot;Heresy!&quot; at Cortana when she performed a slipstream jump so close to a gravitational source (Threshold Gas Giant). Why would such a thing considered heresy? indeed the Covies NEVER jump into a planet´s atmosphere when they in fact can do so. They always choose the hard way - by having to deal with planetary defenses, even when they can bypass them.

I´m having a minor fever (thank God no runny nose) and am consigned to sofa and tv. No alcohol for me tonight or it may get worse, and only my parents to accompany me. I´m grateful I have cable and I´m avoiding local channels and CNN because all they show is carnage and how we should tone down the celebrations out of solidarity. This has not been a good change-of-year celebration. But don´t let me bring you down. Happy New Year to all of you, and may the best of your past be the worst of your future!

Thank you for all the donations you and your countries have given. We will not forget this (but of course we will, we´ll be back to the usual programme of &quot;death to the west thing&quot; in no time - USA can´t play World Police, but now the locals are demanding that they play the World Doctor. ****ing hypocrites). At least I won´t forget this. Volunteers are actually no problem here, at least in quantity. Perhaps there are even too many. Most are volunteering without any proper qualifications at all (all they are good for are collecting bodies), and will actually just burden the qualified ones by demanding &quot;proper&quot; food and lodgings!

Thunderbird´s and OutlookX´s address books has been causing me headaches. Both are great clients, but why are their address books so sucky? why can´t I organize my contacts into groups by simple drag-and-drop? can anybody help?

This is FF and I´m okay. The quake and tsunamis were too far away from where I live (I live in the center while the quake was on the western edge of the nation). Thanks for your sympathies for my countrymen, and I offer the same courtesy to those from other countries.

They can say whatever they want, but these so-called physicians won´t even live to a fifth of Gollum´s lifetime. Ha!
