    I noticed that Rosa have a grudge against MS.
    This seems more a problems with UPS, or he is faking it, which is more likely.

    In reply to Has Anybody Used Bing to Find the Nearest Arby's? Whoa, Man. Whoa.
    I love Arby's. A lot of things I've found on the Internet tend to make fun of or insult Arby's and I legitimately cannot figure out why.

    I think they're delicious and I really haven't seen another fast food restaurant with quite the same style of food.

    @Platypus Man: I think there may be more truth to his statement though. I actually like Arby's food, but every time I've ever gone in one it was deader than a Taco Bell, and that's just odd to me.

    Two things I love about Bing. The bird's eye view in maps. It's amazing. And cash back. Saved me $150 on my 7D, another $100 on a lens and more in the past.

    Oh man. Arby's roast chicken sandwich is one of the best things I've eaten in fastfood places.

    Yet this dentally challenged man is right. I never ever go there.

    Maybe they'll be nice and send him the magical Jasper model!

    (secretly fears that his Jasper Xbox will fail the day after it turns 3 years old)

    I pity the fools who have to paw through these. I just finished helping out on a pro bono doc review for "an important civil rights case", and of the thousands of emails I reviewed (out of over a million in the project), I found two that were relevant - the rest were LOLCats, jokes, dinner plans and gossip.

    22,000,000 emails is a lot. Trust me. But how many people work in the federal government with these 'lost' emails? Say it's 50,000. That's only 440 per person.
    If this is 22,000,000 emails between Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Satan- that's a little more of a pickle.

    Isn't it still a feature on windows 7, although hidden? I believe that it can still be found if you have an enabled device.

    Once they release them though we'll never see it on any news network, that's for sure. Five years from now they're still gonna be humping tiger woods' leg for one more mistress story instead of talking about our worthless corrupt immoral politicians doing nasty things to nasty women.

    From the looks of the one pic with the box, it was the shipper's fault. The box looks like it got all kinds of messed up in transit. That might be a bit messy to resolve as MS may try to make him resolve it with the shipper and the the shipper may want to blame MS.

    @Nathan Obbards: Eh, judging from my experience with such things, Microsoft will likely work things out with the shipper themselves. He might hear from one of the two parties at some point, but chances are he'll end up with a new one with little or no hassle regardless of what happens.

    @MarcusMaximus: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised with that, especially with how well and quick my one RROD return went. I'm wondering who the shipper was though. Probably UPS.

    Ignoring any political commentary: The lack of redundant backups (and offsite back ups) from an IT perspective is just plain gross.

    Of course I don't know all the details in this particular case, but if you are supposed to back stuff, which clearly is the case here, then head to fucking Walmart and at least buy the $70 external hard drive and half ass back it up
