What Is It? game 221



It's once again time for our collaboration with the always amusing What Is It? Blog. Can you guess what the pictured item is? Or can you make up something interesting?

Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many guesses as you'd like in separate comments. Post no URLs or weblinks, as doing so will forfeit your entry. Two winners: the first correct guess and the funniest (albeit ultimately wrong) guess will win T-shirt from the NeatoShop.

Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don't include a selection, you forfeit the prize, okay? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?

For more clues, check out the What Is It? Blog. Good luck!

Update: the unidentified object is now identified as a billiards pocket (found on eBay). The first correct answer came from Berhard, who wins a t-shirt! Of many funny answers, the funniest was from Lord_Dissident, who said,
It is actually the iron mask that was used to hide the face of the man in the iron mask. The front was opened only at feeding time, food was placed into the bowl, and it was slammed shut again. That is why he never ate soup again after he got out of that mask.

That certainly deserves a t-shirt! Find out the purposes of all this week's mystery items at the What Is It? blog.

We run the server edition here as a service for our exchange2003, and while this error probably wont occur at the server/serice level. It sure is annoying to see, like that whole HP/Winupdate pulldown menu fiasco.

Altho from time to time the service will just shut off for no reason, and then the bosses call and want TPS reports on the why they got 300 junk mails. =D

I ran into cloudmark issues when the workstations had Nod32 installed. The combination of Nod32, Outlook Express, and Cloudmark just did not blend. Fun times…

I had this same problem with Outlook Express crashing when you create,reply, or try to fwd email. It would appear to be trying to create multiple emails *(ghosting), then lock up and crash. The error report was showing the problem being the ntdll.dll. I exhausted all suggestions
1.Resinstalled SP2
2.Reinstalled IE7
3.Removed all anti-spam programs
4.Tried applying every patch I could find on the microsoft web site that might apply
5.Repaired database
6.Created a new identity
NONE worked,
THEN I ran across a forum that mentioned a bad signature file or default stationary set in OE, or 1 that is no longer there.

SURE enuff..fixed it immediately. I had a signature
in mine, and had reinstalled windows, that carried over these settings.
