They used to call that feature "Yellow Box" back in the day. Everyone said iTunes was crap when it was Carbon based and wanted it ported to Cocoa. Apple ported it and people are still complaining its slow as a Cocoa based app!
The "Photos" screen saver caused the same problem in Vista. Use that screen saver and your machine wouldn't go to sleep. I don't know if they ever fixed that bug in Vista and they removed the entire screen saver from Windows 7!
Taxes on cars in Finland are crazy high. While he would have to modify the car from the US to conform to ECE specs, if the same car was sold there, it usually just needs the lighting replaced. If he wasn't staying long term, its likely he could get a wavier for the modifications as the car will be re-exported.
Most are made overseas nowadays with the exception of the super high end models. Still seems to be a quality product though, and the dealers I have dealt with have been very good.
Either ditch the knobby tires, or buy one of the many "cross" style bikes. The other problem is the weight of the bike. Anything cheap at Walmart is going to be pretty heavy no matter what kind of bike it is. A good bike pays for itself in longevity, my Trek is 11 years old and still works just fine.
Too bad they aren't registered beta testers that can submit bug reports. I was a beta tester for Windows 98, it had some pretty bad show stopper bugs in the RCs. I did my best to report them. Some were fixed, others made it to RTM, but were later fixed in 98SE (which was originally planned to be an OEM Service Release). Anyone remember "WebTV for Windows"? It was a pile of buggy crap. Testers told MS time and time again that it wasn't ready for primetime (no pun intended) in the beta newsgroups, yet they released it anyway. Luckily nobody actually used it, and MS quietly killed it off by the time ME came out.
16-bit apps should work on the 32-bit versions of Vista/7 without a problem. The WoW subsystem has been set in stone since Windows 2000 or so. Ironically Win16 apps don't have the compatibility problems Win32 apps have since the API is stable.
As others have posted, Microsoft can and will yank access to Windows Update in the future. I installed Windows 98SE and 2000 on a machine for testing, and WU no longer works on them at all. One has to rely on downloaded service packs and unofficial update packages to bring the OS up to date. I have no problem with MS no longer releasing new patches, but denying access to previously released updates is just evil.
That version is called Volume License Key activation. Microsoft actually made it more annoying to run then standard retail Vista/7 copies by requiring a business to run a "key management" license server.
It mostly eliminated those crimes of opportunity. Most of the people breaking and entering parked vehicles were taking them on joyrides or committing other crimes and then dumping them. Immobilizers didn't stop the professional car thieves, namely the ones exporting to Eastern Europe or stripping for parts. They resort to the low tech method of a flatbed.
Don't some of the major processor's merchant agreements forbid ID verification? They don't check your ID because they aren't allowed. A few of my friends think they are smart and put "See ID" in the signature box of their card... right next to where it says "this card not valid unless signed"!
How many stupid sub channels are they broadcasting in addition to their primary HD feed? All OTA broadcast stations get 6Mhz of spectrum here in the US, its just a matter of what they do with it.
What amazes me is that I regularly see NYC cabs running around Northern NJ, 20+ miles away from NYC. I guess that rule about "agreed upon" out of town fares is pretty profitable. The cabbie still loses out on return fares and the time to drive back into NYC though.

What the many folks who use Paypal? I have a feeling registrars are going to push back big on this one.
Try telling that to Microsoft....

That or lower the price of the current model a bit. I'm surprised its still around as it is now the sole iPod remaining with the dock connector.
I bet your college/university had quite a few CS grads that didn't know how to code too. *facepalm* I know mine did. It's all too common.
I've always suspected the IBM Model M was the keyboard of the deities...

The main Mapquest site uses Navteq by default for US maps. They have a separate site that uses the OSM data: http://open.mapquest.com/

What if the claiming "right holder" really isn't? When is Google going to fix THAT problem. Some background here: http://fairusetube.org/youtube-copyfraud

Wouldn't AVISynth (commonly paired with FFMpeg) be more like an ImageMagick for video?
It'll also open up long dead codecs like Microsoft Video 1 and IBM Ultimotion.

Most commercial settings are lit with efficient fluorescent tube lighting, and has been for a long time.

I had to look it up, but there is a Netware client for Windows Vista and 7.

Microsoft did release this to get people off Windows 9x: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Fundamentals_for_Legacy_PCs They could do it with Windows 7, perhaps an OS a step above the current 7 Starter that supports Active Directory logins.
Doesn't grinding it up defeat the time release the manufacturer boasts about?
