* Description: A developer has already run Visual Studio with elevated permissions and created a new WAP project on IIS. The user then runs VS without elevation, and opens that project using MRU list.

* Workaround: While there is no error message shown, Visual Studio needs to run with elevated administrator permissions even after the project has been created.

I leave firefoxes open a hella long time, but I'm using Debian in Linux and have only Adblock extension and no flash. I don't seem to notice horrible perf problems. Then again, I have 2GB of ram and use a stripped down interface (Fluxbox), no eye candy.
I was AT Microsoft, when I saw this happen. We got builds that required PIDs, but we could basically request an unlimited # of them. I remember the lab dude told me he didn't have to use PIDs because all the lab clients were identical.
I just realized something - exactly identical hardware doesn't trigger re-activation. (We used to use XP on a bunch of lab PCs and activation never kicked in because they were so similar. We were probably using something OEM-ish, but I think this stuff wanted activation, at least once.)
Have people realized this and formed clubs of exactly identical hardware to be able to reuse keys?
That's not true: they made massive tweaks to the kernel. Remember in the Win 3.1 days, when you could go to Help | About and see Free System Resources? Even if you had lots of memory left, if that number dropped, you had to exit Windows. Well that number went from 64K to 16MB in Win32, but you can still hit it. Every thread is either a "kernel thread" or can be converted into a "user thread" -- if it calls any functions in User32.dll.
Anyway, the kernel is still crap, but they are constantly tweaking it. I'm sure Vista's kernel will have back changes. There's something called Low Fragmentation Heap that came out in XP.
New Windows release are NOT just a new skin. They change bunches of code.
I don't consider that naked. Unless you can see boobs, you might as well realize that everyone around you all the time is naked at some level. Ever think about that? Billions of boobs and genitals of every variety are constantly standing like right next to you.
When I think about possible economic and resource sharing agreements between monkeys, and I hear about all the capitalism, communism, and all the other isms, it strikes me that we actually have a truly different resource sharing agreement structure -- the family unit. You don't bill your son/daughter/wife/husband for the food you dole out to them.
The hippies tried to replicate the family structure -- and that didn't work. The communists tried to do what families do -- and that didn't work. Churches try to replicate the family structure -- and everyone can plainly agree that that's not exactly the way a family works -- churches try to impose a pseudo-family structure on top of the existing family structure, and rely heavily on government favoritism for their economic underpinnings.
What would be really interesting if some sort of large scale structure could have the qualities of sharing that families assume -- but without the icky kum-bay-yahness of the hippies or the stupidity of the communists, or any of the other freaky not-family things that we end up with.
The way I use it to answer programming questions is usually to bop back and forth from web to groups refining the question. It's usually better to find it under web first, but if hits all come up as obvious usenet-wrapped spam pages (the worst is that experts exchange which hides part of the thread, AND fires off a popup), I zap to groups.
This is on-topic, because this week Google ajaxified their home page a little, moving Groups to an web 2.0-ey submenu that takes me 1 extra click to get to, and replacing it with the ridiculous Video web-2.0 ey thing. I view these actions as evil, because they are more about making Google money and less about what I want to do - which is quickly search groups for answers to programming questions. (When you ask a programming question on the web page all it takes you to is one of 40 spyware/spamware awful wrappers around usenet anyway, and if you just click to groups you see the exact same text minus the horrible ads and popups).
Google drifts evil every once in a while, and then to their credit they drift back, but currently they are drifting evil.
Okay, so, it's a little off-topic, but since there was no thread about Google's big change this week I needed to vent. (They also switched dictionary.com to answers.com which is more spam-mey and popup-ey).

The text-to-speech and voice recognitiion in the other Microsoft agent were pretty cool I thought. It was kind of fun trying to program the gestures.
Maybe they should make a 3d little dude that walks across the top of the Aero glass.
This one is pretty funny:

Its so casual and conversational.

Yeah - only exploits in the Word rendering engine!
That POS was the first one I played, although I saw some geeks playing Ultima I (I guess, or whatever) on the Apple IIe in the back of the classroom.
It was pretty fun as I recall.
Yeah, it's a real nice beta they released a few weeks ago. I can't wait to see the final release next year!
IE7 crashes after about 20 mintues for me.
Ie7 crashes all the time -- I just upgraded to it. It constantly crashes, several times in a few hours.
Yeah, but it uses the windows and quicktime dlls. The point still stands.
Plus I don't think I can play every quicktime trailer, though windows no prob.
There was supposed to be something called XP Reloaded, like 98 to XP's 95.
I guess that's what SP2 turned into.
I guess I'll get a +5 Funny for this:

You can't get a little bit pregnant. Debian is better n' ubuntu.
Either use stable stuff or don't.

Yeah, cause god knows you can't dual boot into Windows on a Linux computer! Thank god for bootcamp.

I'm sure there will be big changes in the kernel / memory management. They're constantly tweaking it.

I think about thinks like that sometimes.

I always found that mythology better.
The sun is a woman, and the moon loves her!
The phrase "don't burn your bridges" is a much simpler way to say this.
