Re: How to Setup Airport Express on AT&T DSL

David Ortez — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 19:32:13 -0000

JoJo,

You have two options. You can either A) Call AT&T and ask them not to block Port 25 or B) Change the port number in your Mail settings. I currently use 25, 465 and 587. To change your port number in Mail, select MAIL>PREFERENCES>Select ACCOUNTS tab and Choose one of your email accounts, then select OUTGOING MAIL SERVER then EDIT SMTP SETTINGS>then Advanced and select DEFAULT Ports.

I hope this helps. Your easiest solution is to ask AT&T to unblock that port number for you. If they are hesitant because of security reasons then request an alternative port number that is compatible with their network.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by John W. I agree, a debate about a topic where the parties cannot agree on a common definition or an understanding about the issue at hand is fruitless. It is appalling that people are willing to dismiss evidence because they BELIEVE something else ... it is ironic that the same people that are willing to discount a position because they do not BELIEVE in those facts are willing to believe everything about their religious architect without any evidence. To each their own.

I agree. If there is anything I have learned in my first semester is to learn the law by heart. You rarely get quizzed on a case holding. Thank you for stopping by and for the insightful advice.

Re: Ron Paul Reminds Us that He is Crazy!

Thanks for stopping by ... unfortunately that is not what I meant. Allow me to restate what I said ... "It is unclear how Paul came to this realization because the Constitution does not state what information the census should or should not collect."

Thus, I am asserting that the Constitution does not state what kind of data can or cannot be collected.

In no way am I implying the second half of your analysis that assumes "it means that any kind of information can be collected."

To the contrary, I would agree with Paul if some extrinsic and irrelevant information were collected but my contention with Paul is that he is making a fuss about 10 questions that you answer on a regular basis whether you are applying for a job, school or a loan application. I hope that clears up any misunderstanding.

Re: On White Privilege and the TEA Party

Mike,

I do not care to dance because doing so with you sir is like dancing with someone that has two left feet or would they be "right" feet in your case. All we would be doing is going in circles.

I recommend putting on your "thinking cap" this time around and read my post. I never once declared that the TEA Party or its members are racist.

Thank you ... come again!

Thanks for stopping by Greg from Seabrook.

I am not in the business of making stuff up. I leave folks like you on the right up to that because you are experts. You somehow convinced a nation that Iraq had WMDs ... LIE, that Iraq was responsible for 9/11 ... LIE.

I would provide links to groups of TEA party members that are idolizing but at times pages or websites are down due to bandwidth or removed due to violations of TOS.

As a thinking adult ... I highly recommend using the "google" to learn more for yourself. If you like being spoon fed here is the best I can do in one minute:

To be naive and not entertain "other alternative" reasons is detrimental to the issue at hand. Whether you think my assertions that racism plays a role in this scenario and its negative ramifications of "poisonous" are legitimate or not ... that is your opinion and I respect it.

I do not disagree that Fenway breeds the type of atmosphere that you recounted but as a Dynamo fan, I can tell you that our soccer fans do not behave in such a manner. In fact, the fans are diverse and include families and young adults of various social-economic demographics.

The majority of stadium fans are white but I may be wrong ... regardless it is my speculation that the Mayor and folks in Bellaire are not aware of this fact and assume that Soccer = More Hispanic people.

I highly recommend listening to Tim Wise but in particular his lecture on "White Privilege" that is interesting to say the least. Click on this link: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

@Ron,
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment. I am glad that you liked the ad. I did to because it was positive and informative.

Re: Hispanics and Higher Education

David Ortez — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 13:22:36 -0000

Joe,
Although I do not talk about money ... you bring up a good point about scholarships ... but what good are they when Hispanics students cannot take advantage of them?

I merely make the assertion that yes ... you can blame Hispanics students for their shortcoming but at the end of the day it is the State of Texas that has failed them ... is it no wonder that our Education Level is ranked so low out of all the 50 states? Who do you blame the students or the institution?
You sir .... have a limited, narrow, ignorant point of view and it would help you to expand your world and understand that this is a bigger issue than "Hispanics" not studying hard enough.

Re: Finally, We Acknowledge our Drug Demand

David Ortez — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 10:46:22 -0000

John,

Thanks for the clarification and I agree with you ... an unsecure border is an issue at hand but the demand would still override a secure border ... you cannot institute a border that is "secure" in which drugs are in demand and expect to see the demand die down.

Last time I checked ... a plane can manage to fly over a"secure" border ... a border that has a fortified electric wall with a moat from Texas to California filled with alligators and [insert animal of your choice] and 24/7 border patrol at every .25 miles

A "secure" border is but an illusion that can never be achieved.

Re: Abuse of Power: High School Admins Coerce Cheerleader for Facebook Password

David Ortez — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:21:22 -0000

Kirzen,

Sorry you FAIL ... how can you state that the Plaintiff does not have to prove that she was coerced? Her allegations are not considered facts until they are proven ... remember the Golden Rule: You are Innocent until you are proven Guilty.

Apparently you did not actually read the court documents and have come up with your own legal opinion without considering the facts.

Let me remind folks that 90% of lawsuits are settled out of court so perhaps this may not even reach the court room and thus arguments will never be necessary.

Re: Abuse of Power: High School Admins Coerce Cheerleader for Facebook Password

David Ortez — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 00:14:55 -0000

Actually the burden is on the Plaintiff to prove that she was coerced to provide this password ... if that cannot be established than everything else is irrelevant. As a Plaintiff, your allegations are not automatically accepted as the truth until you can prove the facts of the case.

Once the Plaintiff can prove that she was coerced then there is a burden that the act caused everything else. I find this to be an act that will hard to overcome if the School District provides competent counsel to the defendants which I do not doubt.

Sophia,
Not sure what to say ... I did my best to convey to others how to perform this tutorial and it seems that a large percentage of managed to follow along.

Did you reset it as I originally state that you must? If you have any questions along the tutorial let me know so I may clarify. For example you should have two Ethernet cords ... one connected to AE and one to DSL modem.
