My experience is that programs that want to write to their own Program Files directory work fine in Windows Vista/7. Windows silently redirects the program's write write requests to Program Files (as well as the Windows directory) to what Microsoft calls the 'VirtualStore' in the user's directory. When the program reads back the file, Windows silently redirects the read request back to the VirtualStore. So to the program everything is working exactly like it did in Windows 9x, at least in this regard. A similar thing also exists for the registry.
In some ways, this is good as it allows these old programs to still run (as opposed to limited users in 2000/XP where the program would not run), but it's also bad because it enables lazy programming to continue. It also can cause confusion as the read/writes are not redirected if the program is run as an administrator which can be confusing, and users who are used to the old way get really confused if they are used to poking around those files in the application's install directory. Also, since the redirected files are local to the user, it can break programs that expect these files to be global to all the users on the PC. Programs that both abuse writing to Program Files and expect multiple user accounts on the PC are kind of rare, but they they exist.
The law is pretty clear that one does not park in a marked handicapped spot, and doesn't provide any exceptions for property owners, largest taxpayers in a given municipality, lots with more than the minimum required parking spots, or giant douchebags. What Steve Jobs did was simply illegal.
I think the point is to get people to buy fuel-efficient vehicles, not necessarily hybrids. If they wanted to do it right, the spots would be open for a 40+ MPG Honda CRX, but closed to vehicles like the giant 20 MPG Yukon hybrid.
As far as I know, the law specifies a minimum number of handicapped parking spots, but no maximum. So I would ask why the hospital simply doesn't increase the number of handicapped spots if they are needed.
I would guess more that the whole genre may find itself in trouble in the future. From what I have seen, it's the boomer crowd that likes Christmas music, while younger people seem to shun it as we're sick to death of hearing the songs used as advertising jingles. Even the contemporary stuff seems to be aimed more at older audiences.
Unless it's an open platform that I can create and install my own software on to, it's not really a general purpose PC. Most of your potable ARM devices completely fail in that regard.
Many McMansions aren't that well built. They may look nice, but often they are built by fly-by-night builders who cut corners any place where they feel they can get away with it. It kind of comes with the territory, as many buyers are impressed with how much house they can get with the money, not realizing that they'd be better off spending the money on a slightly more modest house that's built to higher standards and with better materials. Then again, a lot of people don't expect to stay in a house for decades anymore, so if you're going to be gone in 10 years who cares if the thing falls apart in 15?
The advantage with SQL Server is that when it takes a crap on itself, you can blame Microsoft. And assuming you paid Microsoft for a support contract (as in, you're not running the freebie SQL Server Express or whatever it is called), you can pick up the phone and bitch at them. Contrast this to choosing another solution where you have to support it yourself, and there is no expensive support contract that you can utilize if something goes wrong. Or in other words, don't under-estimate the ability to cover your ass.
One thing I don't understand is why the Republicans haven't kicked Ron Paul out of the Republican party by now. He stands for very little that Republicans stand for, and it's pretty clear they don't like him much. Plus, he openly endorsed a non-Republican for President in 2008 (the Constitution Party candidate if I recall correctly).
I'm pretty sure it's just a small gaff on Obama's part. If you look at the transcript from the speech, he says "Now, if you’re a family making about $50,000 a year, this is a tax cut that amounts to about $1,000 a year. That’s about 40 bucks out of every paycheck." This works out fine, with the unsaid assumption that he's refering to be being paid biweekly (or semi-monthly). However, shortly thereafter he did say "...we asked folks to tell us what would it be like to lose $40 out of your paycheck every week.", which is incorrect but probably just a small slip-up.
You know what's wrong with Israeli airport security?
Besides the institutionalized racial/ethnic profiling, It doesn't scale up.
Ben Gurion airport handles ~12 million passengers per year
JFK International* in New York handles ~46.5 million passengers per year.
People keep repeating this line, but never elaborate on why this it is true. So what is it about the Israeli security model that doesn't scale up? Sure, JFK has about four times as many travelers as Ben Gurion, so hire about four times as many security personnel and you should be covered, right? I don't see why the ratio of security personnel to travelers would depend on the number of travelers, so the system should scale linearly. Given the amount of money and resources the US is throwing at the current ineffective security model, this seems easily doable.
They aren't bad cars. They are simple enough that not much can go wrong with them, and they weren't actually built by GM so they weren't total shit. Their biggest downfall was that they were so cheap people considered them almost disposable so a lot of the used ones are in really terrible shape.
I see nothing wrong with that concern. In the colder parts of the US, you certainly wouldn't want to get stuck far from home during a snow storm.
Why not? You could safely leave the heat on without worrying about killing yourself with carbon monoxide like you do in a gasoline vehicle when the exhaust gets buried under the snow. Without the motor running, the battery should run the climate control and lights for a long time.
The crazy thing about it is that out of the other side of their mouth they say they need to implement a per-mile tax complete with GPS tracking because electric vehicles don't pay the fuel tax. Well, if they don't think electric vehicles owners pay their fair share in, the first thing they need to do is cut the damn tax subsidy. Most gasoline-powered vehicles aren't going to get anywhere near $7,500 worth of gas tax in their lifetime.
From what I have heard, the crashes come from the card clocking the memory speed up and down. This also can cause corruption and flicking on the screen when it happens too. The 'solution' is to go into AMD's overdrive utility and fix the memory clock to some value. I don't know what this does to the power consumption, and in some cases it doesn't seem to help either.
I must say I don't really care for either ATI's or nVidia's products, but when your only other option is Intel's integrated graphics you've got to pick on.
The difference between being jammed and being spoofed that is if they do the spoofing correctly the GPS will appear to still be working as opposed to it clearly not functioning. I would hope that pilots though don't blindly trust the GPS and check against other instruments and landmarks outside (in a VFR situation) to verify where they are.
Windows XP has slightly less than 50% of the Windows computers out there. It's replacement came out 5 years ago, and the replacement for its replacement came out 2 years ago. I have a feeling XP is going be around for a while yet.

I call bull. Name the city and the neighborhood.
Even if they were to have some crazy rule like that, they don't allow SUVs from Lincoln, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, Porsche, etc?

1. Place phone on "portable electronic device with a touch screen".
2. Pick up receiver.
3. Make call.
You have a 42" DLP TV that is only connected to a VCR?
Waterfall works pretty well when it must be absolutely bulletproof reliable, you have lots and lots of time to do it, and costs be damned.
It's anecdotal, but some specialized piece of equipment at work running a 486 and Maxtor drive from the mid-90's is chugging along just fine.
Actually, that would make Chrome a poor copy of IE7.
Apparently US citizens are a bit more generous: click
Besides, I doubt the FOIA applies to the British government.
