View the Message Source in Outlook 2003

View the Message Source in Outlook 2003 ***New to Outlook 2003*** Outlook doesn't have a View, Source option like you'll find in Outlook Express. It has View, Options which shows you the Internet header in a small text box. But it only includes the Internet header, not the full message source. Using Outlook 2003 you can view the header and source together, if you edit a registry key. This works on mail obtained from Internet mail transports, not Exchange server mailboxes. However, if you access the mailbox using an Internet transport, you'll see the full source. Open the registry editor and navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\Mail right click on the right pane and choose new DWORD: Parameter: SaveAllMIMENotJustHeaders Value: 1 Note: This works only on new mail received after you create the registry key. You won't be able to see the source on messages already downloaded. "

Metaphor, Morality, and Politics

Metaphor, Morality, and Politics Liberals do not understand what unifies their own worldview and so are helpless to deal effectively with conservatism. Not only is there no unified liberal political structure, but there is no overall effective liberal rhetoric to counter the carefully constructed conservative rhetoric. Where conservatives have carefully coined terms and images and repeated them until they have entered the popular lexicon, liberals have not done the same. Liberals need to go beyond coalitions of interest groups to consciously construct a unified language and imagery to convey their worldview. This will not be easy, and they are 30 years behind.

Watch the language. While the one side talks about licenses with verbs like copy, distribute, play, share and perform, the other side talks about rights with verbs like own, protect, safeguard, protect, secure, authorize, buy, sell, infringe, pirate, infringe, and steal. link

Gore on democracy

I came here today because I believe that American democracy is in grave danger. It is no longer possible to ignore the strangeness of our public discourse . I know that I am not the only one who feels that something has gone basically and badly wrong in the way America’s fabled “marketplace of ideas” now functions. http://waterthread.org/?page_id=192

Space Elevator Interview

In my mind the Space Shuttle and Space Station are not valuable efforts. It’s not what NASA should be doing. NASA is using technology from commercial enterprises, or very old technology from the 70’s to try and do space exploration. If they are going to be a real premier space agency, they need to be pushing it. They should be doing stuff which looks to us like science fiction… link

The Observer | International | Armed and dangerous - Flipper the firing dolphin let loose by Katrina: "It may be the oddest tale to emerge from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

You Can Use an IPod to Move Music

You Can Use an IPod to Move Music Apple doesn't make it easy to employ your IPod to duplicate your music collection on both your work and home PCs, but you can do it. If you have a Windows machine, simply plug in your IPod, find it listed in Windows Explorer, and make sure your machine can view hidden files. Open the 'IPod_Control' folder and copy the 'My_Music' folder to your PC. Import those tracks into ITunes and put them in order there. Select Edit, Preferences, and choose the Advanced tab. Select a location for your music library by clicking the Change button, and then check Keep iTunes Music folder organized. Utilities such as the $15 IPodRip--available for PCs and Macs from The Little App Factory--can help automate this process."
