One cause for this error is when the authentication setting on the ExchWeb\bin directory is Integrated Windows Authentication. To change this setting, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Internet Information Services Manager, and open the properties for the ExchWeb\bin directory.
2. On the Directory Security tab, click the Edit button under Authentication And Access Control.
3. Deselect the Integrated Windows Authentication check box, click OK, and click OK again to close the dialog box.

Spelling checker should now function.

Considering I am not the exchange admin, I cannot test this theory as of yet.  I will try to do this on my home computer and see if I get the same resolve.  The tech note stated that this error occurs on computers outside of AD (check) and works fine on computers within AD (check)  I just need to verify this is the case since I cannot check the exchange settings….

Ever wonder how you would do during a Zombie outbreak?  A quiz has been invented for such an occasion!  You can then change your life based on how you do!  I wish you luck, for the zombie invasion is on its way.

Also, here is a note from the developer:

This must be too easy! Everyone’s getting Z+!
First I’ll explain the grading system since so many people worry their Z+ is meaningless:

Your final grade is this:
Final Rank = ( Physical Score + Mental Score + Experience Score ) – Emotional Score

This system is purely based on a strictly survival situation where emotional attachments and feelings could get you killed. Having a negative (F Rating) Emotional Score is ideal, as you will gain score instead of losing score.

There are still people who have submitted reviews who have gotten a score of A and below. My own mother scored a C or D.

Another game please!  Surely, here it is!  The game is Wulfgar!

I really liked this game but found it rather buggy.  The first boss, you beat him by attacking him with different moves.  Also, avoid the zombie clumps.  If you find you are in a swarm, use the thunder attack.  It will kill all the zombies in sight.  The sword will flash when you are ready to thunder.

I had a lot of issues getting past the first boss.  At one point, I had the boss in a corner and wouldn’t attack me.  I couldn’t attack him, and the game just froze there.   If anyone has any suggestions on making the game less buggy or how to beat the bosses, I’m open to know.

The playoffs are in the air at SimYard.com, with single elimination wildcard playoffs leading into tomorrow’s quarterfinals. SimYard went live at the beginning of February with the goal of simulating a full season of baseball each month. In February, we have succeeded.

Hundreds of teams were created and thousands of games were played. Fifty-three of those teams made the playoffs. Some of the teams used all their pitchers at the end of the season to get their spot and now face a tired bullpen. There is a lot of excitement in the air.

Every two hours, there’s another round of games. This gives your bullpen a bit of time to rest leading up to a hectic 20 minutes of 48 teams all facing elimination at once in the first round of the playoff wildcard tournament. The top 5 teams get automatic entry to the quarterfinals, guaranteed to have their pitchers rested tomorrow when they start. The next 48 teams have to win four straight to get the same quarterfinal spot.

We’re going to do this every month.

Well, I had fun with Wii Tennis, I figured I would give Wii Bowling a whirl.  Considering I actually know how to bowl, I find Wii bowling to be very simular to actual bowling.  I find that my average in Wii Bowling is pretty close to regular bowling.  (180ish just in case you were curious)

The Swing
Take some time to figure out how you swing the wii-mote. Don’t do any aiming, just swing. After awhile, you will notice a pattern with your swing.  Use it to get the ball to hit the head pin.
Once you have the basic concept of your swing down, you should then proceed to playing with the angle.  The goal is to either hit the head pin on the left or right.  If you hit the head pin dead on, just like real bowling, you will end up with less than desirable results.

The Ball
The color of the bowling ball you use is based on the gender of your Mii. Boys get blue balls and girls get pink balls. The pros get to use a start studded ball!

When the game starts and fades to black you need to hold the control pad on your wii-mote in one of four directions to get a ball of a different color:

• Up – Blue
• Down – Green
• Left – Red
• Right – Gold

Parlor Tricks

If you swing and release the ball so it goes behind you all of the Miis who are watching the game will jump up in surprise!

If you move all the way to a gutter and then spin your aim over you can throw your ball so it lands in lane other than your own!

I didn’t know such a thing was possible.  I am so oblivious.  Apparently, digg allows you to do a bunch of bizarre things on it.  I have never been a huge fan of the networking sites but I dig digg as you may say.  Well it turns out that someone has become my “Digg Fan” 

For those of you that don’t have a clue what that means, myself included, here is an email provided by Digg when such an honor occurs.

Hey there! GROUPIE  is your latest fan. She became your fan because she likes what you are up to on Digg and wants to see what you think is interesting. You can either leave her as a fan or add her to your own list of friends. Check out her profile here:

Cheers,

The Digg Team

It is such a weird feeling when stuff like this happens to me.  I don’t know, I suppose this is just a continuance of the road I have started and hope that more groupies will continue! 

Want another side scroller to play?  I know I do!  Its a good thing I found one.  Oh yes, SUPER TANK!

 http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/426958

Please note that this is a work in progress!

Level 1 main boss – run over the little switch to defeat him

level 1 completed – you can jump higher

Level 2 main boss – jump over the tank after it trys to ram you.  It will lose energy when it rams into the wall

Level 2 complated – you can now sheet with the A key!

Well, I am kinda curious on the ranking I will get on google with this.  I have purchased a Wii and have forcused my time on tennis.  I have found the following tips, tricks, and whatever on various searches on the internet and my own devices.  Good luck!

Power Serve

Time a quick swing once the ball gets to the highest point. Have the controller be angled forward and down, to simulate an overhead smash. Note that there is no way to aim this serve.
Super Slow Serve

Do not serve the ball until the last possible second. You will have a very slow, high serve, which is hard to return.

Topspin Shot

Swing the controller forward, from low to high.   Rotate your wrist a little forward as well.  Adding topspin enables you to aim for sharper angles.

Backspin Shot

Swing controller forward, from high to low.   Rotate your wrist a little backwards when making the swing. Once you get this technique down you can add crazy sidespin, and really fast backspin so that the ball will quickly skip off the surface.

Lob Shot

Move the remote in an upwards direction, lifting it, without forward movement.
Shoot at the Bots

When you hit directly at a bot in the backcourt, it will often miss-hit. The bots will not know whether to hit a forehand or backhand, and will miss.  This works better for bots in the backcourt.

Make bots sweat

Have long volleys between the bot and yourself.  As the volley goes on, you will notice the bots begin to sweat.  At this time, it makes the bots  tired and their reaction time slower.  This effect will last the game, but the bots regain their composure for the next set.

Standing at the net

Flailing the controller back and forth at the net works more than one would think…

Hitting net on purpose

Hold controller straight up, and chop quickly down with wrist movement.   The ball will hit the top part of the net and fall down.

If anyone has any more techniques that I missed, feel free to share.  Enjoy and good luck!

So, I sent the following email to my boss this morning.  I have received a job offer from my last company that will pay me signifigantly more money and would be stupid not to take it.  This job I am at now is not going anywhere and barely even stimulating my time.  Well…without further ado, I provide you with the email I sent to my boss!
