I also just had to remove something like this from a friends PC. This was a Win 7 and what was interesting was that it was installed as a service. Had to disable the service, remove the folder then remove the service. It was quite well hidden and nasty not fun to get rid of.
Not only does it pop out which is not a problem, it says "Tap here to decide what to do with this". I am on a laptop with no touch screen. Would it have been so hard to recognize your hardware and put the approriate verbage? I have had people call me and ask how do they use that since they have tapped the screen with their fingers but it did not work.
They really need to do away with "touch" stuff if it is not a touch screen device!
Yep, still broken for me also. I have not heard anything back from the feedback email I sent also. Like you I really want that back it is so more convenient than having to page through more stories!
The old slashbox Old Stories that used to display on the bottom right side and showed the story headline and number of comments will not display. I made sure to check that box in my slashbox preferences, but no matter what I do, it will not display in either IE or Firefox. I did send an email to feedback on this but have heard nothing.
This was a great slashbox as it usually displayed 2 days worth of stories that you could quickly browse to then read or comment on. Hope they can get this fixed quickly.
I did check and uncheck other slashboxes and they seemed to work correctly, i.e. either showing or not showing.
I was able to get Vista Ultimate down to 10GB, which is still way too much! Running on a VM with a 18GB partition and 512MB memory out of 1GB on a 1.6GHZ Dell Laptop. After initial install and SP1 plus all security updates I was up to 12.7GB, unreal. There is a tool to remove the SP1 which basically makes it permanent but removes the updates from WinSXS, also turned off hibernation as I would not use it in a VM. Other cleaning got it down to the 10.1 GB but I still think that is too much for a new install. WinSXS should be self cleaning, I know it is the intent to keep you out of DLL Hell, but I remember XP only being around 800MB.
I totally agree that if being 'Abandoned' then they could make it 'Free'. I do not agree that they should make it Open Source as I am sure there is code which was rolled up or kept in later versions that are still sold and supported.
This may become very interesting. I live in a rural area, well really 10 miles from a major city, and since last Jan when Verizon bought a local provider (Cricket) my connection at home has been terrible. I used to connect to an Alltel tower in extended mode and had full signal. After the buyout I ended up connecting to the nearest Verizon tower which is 10 miles away and berely have any signal. All calls and emails to Verizon said they are looking into putting a tower up between us and another small town, that was over a year and a half ago and still nothing.
If this means that I can again connect to that Alltel tower, which is only 1 mile away it would be great! I have my doubts but I guess I have to wait and see.
You have entered the Slashdot Zone. It is "a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind," "a place of things and ideas," "between the pit of Man's fears, and the summit of his knowledge."
I would totally disagree. I have frequently been seated on a window seat with the shade up while flying on business trips and used the PSP and watched many movies with no problem. I usually carry a couple on UMD and also 3 or 4 on memory sticks. But the screen works just fine even with the shade up and the sun out!
I also find it very interesting that it appears that school funds would be used to what utimately sounds like funding private lawsuits. Isn't that one of the misues of funds that the blogger is talking about?
Failed to keep up with the market do to companies that bought and failed to improve the product to keep up with times, i.e. Novell and Corel. They ran what was the top product at the time in DOS days into the ground instead of keeping up with the likes of MS Word.
As to the Read Recipt feature, I never click Yes unless it is truly important. I have gotten far too many for general announcements, like a picnic, sent to everybody in the corporation, that wants a Read Reciept, what a waste of time and the use of the feature!
Because the judge said no in an earlier story are they now hoping the government officials will somehow help them? I do think they should have rights to see any information relevant as long as it strictly conforms with the trial.

I got an email from Garmin and did the required update and no problems.
His books are always very exciting and usually have may historical items. Great characters too.

Gee the world map shows Greenland to be just a little out of the way, now Russia maybe. So Geography was not your strong suit in school, eh?

62 here. Was a late bloomer and had to wait until I finally got something faster than 300 baud.

My my, how hard is it to 'right click' then select Sort by Name. Yep that is pretty tough.

According to Dells History: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/about_dell/company/history/history?c=us&l=en&s=corp They used 'wish lists' stored in databases for your choice of laptop, desktop or server, which debuted back in 1996. I would think that would suffice for prior art!

Yes WPA2 is supported in XP: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=662BB74D-E7C1-48D6-95EE-1459234F4483&displaylang=en This has been available since 2005. Simple Google found it. More FUD.

I think you can still find it out there. Worked great, one of easiest to use DB applicaitons and should work fine under dosemu. Good luck.

If you google for Univac and Census you will find that the Univac was used to pull geograhical and location information way back in 1952.
