How Are Those Back To The Future II Predictions Looking?

As we approach 2015, how close are we to the future imagined in Back to the Future Part II? You may be surprised at how prescient that was! Gamma Squad takes a look at five technologies from the movie that are on the verge of becoming reality, if not already so. Like TVs:

There’s also sorts of strange TV technology in Hill Valley; displays you can roll up like a piece of paper, multiscreen TVs, weirdly shaped TVs. And believe it or not, out of all the technology featured in the movie, this is easily the one most likely to be completely true by October 2015.

Why? TV manufacturers are desperate. 4K, despite the hype, is largely selling only in China and if you’re not buying a new TV, TV manufacturers can’t make money. So they’ve been looking into new, strange technologies, no matter what they are. Flexible displays are already starting to become commonplace in phones, as they’re less likely to break. And new technology allows TV companies to essentially make a TV or a display in any shape they want, and surprisingly thin, too.

The rest has to do with flying cars, biometrics, and of course, hover boards. Not bad for a movie that came out in 1989!

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.
