I haven't played new pins for a long time, but I grew up on pinball where Williams and Bally had the most variety and fun. These titles may not resonate with a lot of younger folk, but... Flash (the strobe, the increasing pitch of the hum makes it my all time favorite), Silverball, Fireball, Firepower, Firepower II, Black Knight (1st multi-level), Space Invaders, Hyperball (too bad the gun always overheated), Joust (head-to-head).
I think most people who are reading about a story where "prices becoming a factor" and sees some prices will know from the context about whether it's less or greater than. Surely a lot of people have made mistakes from editing where they left in/out words before?
Long sessions in front of CRTs produce eyestrain, apparently even at high refresh rates like 85Hz from what I read. No study to back this up though.
But anyway the other problem is radiation. For the most part, the front is well shielded although some do leak out but the sides and back are not as good as the front. In some companies, as soon as someone is pregnant, their CRT is replaced with an LCD.
Of course, in the long run, LCDs save a lot more energy and that's a good thing by itself.
However... whenever you create a numbered list, and you edit it by deleting/adding items, you need to manually renumber all your items. For bullets (and numbered lists, too), if any item span more than one line, you need to redo the formatting otherwise it looks like it was typed by a 5th grader. The auto lists take care of all that for you.
Actually, under Windows, I would recommend that people reinstall over their existing version and clean up using regedit. In the past, I set Firefox as my default browser and when I uninstalled, all my icons reverted back to Internet Explorer. When I reinstalled Firefox my icons did not go revert even after I changed the browser settings.
But I would like to say that it's not really an "update" or "patch." It's more like an automatic reinstall under Windows. Install over 1.0.1 and go into the registry to clean up.
Rather than relying only on regular expressions, it would be beneficial to use regexps along with sed/(g)awk/perl. If the incantation that you use using regexps is obscure to you, how will the next guy who will support your stuff feel? Break up your uber regexp into a simpler combination of regexp(grep)/sed/awk combination.
With that, I almost always use anchoring via ^ or $.
Spells regulation and open standards. i.e. Before AT&T's divestiture, you can only buy a telephone from AT&T. Once VoIP is common place, I'm pretty sure there will be lawsuits that will allow VoIP devices to connect into the modem so they also receive the same priority.
As opposed to the first example where it can be edited by any editor, regardless if it understands XML or not. Seriously, just because an XML file is valid doesn't mean an application is guaranteed to understand it.
I very much like Apple's OS X approach. Separate files for each service/application. The problem with Windows's registry is that there are many entries that references other entries. If an application's uninstaller is not written just right, you will have dangling references polluting your hive. Apple's approach is very much like Mac OS. If you remove an app, you know that you can go to (basically, there are exceptions) System Folder:Preferences and remove the app's preference file/folder. With the Windows registry, you're never really sure since there are a lot of GUIDs like "{4D36E97B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}" where you have no idea what they mean.
As far as XML, it doesn't really matter if it's done using XML or the Windows.INI construct. Just don't make the damn thing binary. Even Apple's XML files contains encoded binary. Not very user friendly, but I suppose they've done that on purpose. You can be sure that information can be hidden, regardless of how it's implemented.

The Remote Desktop breaking happened to me with some versions of ATI's drivers under XP SP1 and 2003 no SP.
Backpeddling sure is fun. Your original statement was just plain wrong. Why won't you admit it?
Comments seem to indicate that it's a very old bug...

Quite sad and pathetic.

You don't have to check. Just go to gmail.google.com and the counter updates automatically in the middle of the page.
You'd also need to go into each user's hive and remove the old Software entries. Yeah, it's a pain.
I just tried it with Thunderbird and while the silent install works well, it doesn't remove the old installation from Windows's registry.
Well, if you really should uninstall before you update, why doesn't the updater uninstall before it reinstalls?

Yup. It worked for me this time. Yay.

No argument over here about managing your folders.
But your original message implied that GMail's POP is not for you because "I want it stored on a server that I can access from anywhere...."
You're confused about what options GMail's POP offers. You can keep messages on Google's servers.
Does Yahoo SSL-encrypt your entire email session like GMail? I thought not.

NeXTSTEP/OpenSTEP never used XML. Stuff was kept in a defaults textfile database. They have carried over the name Property List over to OS X but its contents format has changed. http://www.vorlesungen.uni-osnabrueck.de/informati k/shellscript/Html/Man/_Man_NeXT_html/html5/Proper tyList.5.html

Ha! Good luck trying to maintain your set of changes as soon as you have a bunch of your apps get rev'ed up.
