don't get me wrong but isnt vista business like 800$ retail by itself so how much tax will we have to pay on this ?

Vista Business is only $300 (its the successor to XP Pro), you might be thinking of what Longhorn Standard Server will cost and no idea about the tax.

OK, so the three webcasts I chose now changed from "pending" to "completed". What happens now, am I supposed to get an email confirming everything went ok ? I don't see where it says congratulations or anything like that as some have posted. If you do get an email how long after the webcasts are marked completed should I expect the email?

WTH!?

its says its sold out!

i only watched two of them so far. so does that mean theres one for me or that im too late?

edit: this is for only Windows Vista. anyone know the answer? this is really starting to bug me...

edit2: i think that it is reserved for us. if you look into the vista biz page it says continue watching ur webcasts. i dont think they expect everyone to watch all of them in 2 days especially the live ones.

Im hoping the OEM version that i get from toshiba can be installed on my desktop (since id rather have home prem on that then on my laptop)

^^ I'd imagine the cd key they will give you for the OEM copy will be Toshiba specific...as in, you can only install it on a Toshiba computer.

I have a copy of Win XP Pro that came with my Dell laptop that I never installed (because I started testing Vista), and it will not install on anything other than a Dell if I using the supplied cd key.

Just a heads up.

now the weird thing is, when I ping http://vsd.powertogether.com/ ...it literally does not. It doesn't even time out, it just doesn't do anything until it says "cannot resolve" ...hmm... any ideas?

can someone give me the IP that it resolves to?

in firefox it says that the Connection was Interrupted by the site.

so this is intentional i believe.

i have a hunch on how to get around this...

unplug ur router. and go directly though ur modem. im at a uni rite now, so its not worth unplugging the router here lol.

    • Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 Ergonomic Office Chair review: The Ikea of chairs

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Huh? I have an Aeron Remastered and the backrest cannot go up or down (only the lumbar is adjustable). Yes, the Doro C300 Pro V2's backrest can be locked, but the locking mechanism is so weak that when you recline and lean back the backrest moves with your body. I think the whole purpose of this chair is that all of the moving parts (except for the rocking, which can be locked in place) are supposed to move with your body, as you shift your weight, that's why I couldn't get used to it. Some people might like it though. Its redeeming factor is the price, I mean it costs like a quarter of what a new Herman MIller (Aeron) costs.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      I notice how you dodged the questions I had about the racism shown by ignorant, gullible, cowardly people when the Poles, like your partner, were the immigrants. Ahem. I wonder how you'd feel if native born Brits suddenly treated you as "dirty crooked immigrant" for being half Trump-American? If they ordered you to leave and "go back to your corrupt country" (on the other side of the Atlantic), would you go? The truth is based on facts as supported by evidence. As requested in your previous posts, I have used the facts in your own post to show everyone the truth.
    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      US citizens are paying to their government, who could use that to fund healthcare and tuition and relieve the costs of these for citizens instead of making tax breaks that overwhelmingly favor the rich. I'm not saying that tariffs are the correct solution, but what else would they be used for? What else could Trump have in mind for wanting them, if he hasn't figured out that labor costs are higher in the US?
