I know some people in Houston would realy like a win tonight - the tickets are going for pretty good money lol, not to mention MLB would like as many games as possible, because it is all about the money baby!

Stick a fork in the Astros, they are done. Might as well get it over with tonight!

I saw the ball hitting the blue BMC Software sign, which is in play, not over the yellow line. When I watched it live, I saw how it hit off and thought it was a homer based on the direction the ball took. No one else (White Sox coaches or players) seemed to care where it hit and there is no way the second base ump could tell. At the time, I didn't think it would matter since we eventually were up 4-0. Boy was I wrong. I will say this, having only one hit since the 4th inning was poor. And yes, when I saw the fireworks in the 1st inning, I shook my head in disbelief.

I live in Chicago but I wanted the ASTROS to win, but hat's off to the ASTROS for playing hard and congrats to the Sox for winning it.

The Sox wanted it more than the ASTROS did, that's basically why they won.

This is our only championship for awhile since our Basketball team is not that great anymore and our football team stinks.

I have been a life-long die hard Cubs fan so many would not expect this from me, but congrats Sox!! I sure would love to see my north siders win the title in my lifetime, but none the less a title for Chicago is a title for Chicago. Here is how I see it though.......Red Sox last year, White Sox this year, Cubs in 2006! :)

Yea! Sox Win!

Lol, cubs... I also am a CUBS fan, but not die hard, I am not actually a baseball fan but CUBS > SOX. I think ANGELS might make it all the way next year, if they get ahold of KONERKO unless SOX re-sign him, which I know they will.

Yeah, Sox with definately re-sign Konerko. Winning a world series is something why a team holds player.

He is not the BEST player, but he is a very good addition. I think they won because of Ozzie being their manager. He was always great when I used to watch him play, and I think he knows what it takes to make a great team.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
