That directory is currently 7.35GB on my Vista 64 machine. I've seen it about that same on Server 2008 boxes too (they are based off the same code base, so...) Basically, it's a folder cache of DLL files in case the OS needs to refer back to an older revision should an application have trouble running properly.
And NO, you can't just delete the folder nor run a command to purge it properly. It's to be treated like the registry hive in that your not supposed to touch it. Oh well, at least 1TB drives are cheap these days.:-/
I'm running Vista 64bit with 8GB of memory and VMs running in the background. It's rare, but sometimes I'll leave it running for more than a month. The only time it gets rebooted is when there is pending security updates that require it. Otherwise, it just lock my workstations (Windows Key + L) and turn off the monitor.
So long as you've got good hardware and mature device drivers, Windows XP and Vista will runs just a rock solid as Linux. Just don't install a bunch of 3rd party crap that tags along with shareware and you should be fine.
You can thank our public schools and academia for that.
I welcome the Great Depression II that this administration is leading. It's a welcoming bitchslap back to reality that America so desperately needs. Maybe then people will realize that America wasn't so bad after all in years past. Now THAT'S change I can believe in!!!
Even north koreans don't respect their government, they fear it
No doubt, many are brainwashed with a daily onslaught of propaganda, but just how many more fear their government. It's the population ratio of fear/respect that I'm interested in.
If NK did decide to wage war, it would be out of desperation. Think of it as a form of "suicide-by-cop". When your a militaristic nation such as NK, it would be better to go out in a blaze of glory than wither away into obscurity. It's all about saving face/honor and all that stuff.
In order for NK to be pacified should the need arise, it might required entire NK cities to be annihilated by whatever means necessary. We are not talking about some piss and Iraqi Shock-and-Awe, we are talking about a vast amount of brainwashed population spanning many generation dieing. Think Hiroshima and Nagasaki all over again.
For the sake of humanity, I truly hope it doesn't come to war. Human nature and history tends to repeat itself however.
In socialism, the government controls the industry. In corporatism, the industry (the corporations) control the government.
One offers a kick in the balls. The other, a punch to the face. No matter the direction (left, right), it's the common man who ends up losing freedom and liberty.
Did you really think government officials abide by the same set of rules as everyone else? Oh hell no!
All of a sudden, internalhost.yourcompany.com resolves on the public internet
I get what your saying, but using a.com for your private network is generally a *bad* idea for this very reason. All internal domains ought to be ending in.local. You'll save yourself unncessary DNS butt ache by adhering to this rule.
I paid for the game too. And now they sneak ads in many months later? FUCK THAT! I want them turned off, or have some sort of credit reimbursement. No warning, no nothing. This is seriously wrong on so many levels.
It's been about fifteen year or so since I last heard this. It's been my understanding that air pollution was (still is???) so bad in Mexico City, that the government mandated that all vehicles had a sticker that stated what days of the week you could drive. The idea was that if you drove less, you would pollute less.
Here in lays the unintended consequence of this law. Rather than a single family owning once nice car rated with good emission standards, they instead own two shit-boxes that bellowed smoke. The idea was that by owning two cars of lesser quality for the same price as a single nicer car, they could alternate driving them throughout the week.
It's a classic example of taking one step forward, three steps back.
I wouldn't exactly call adhering to the National Electrical Code and Fire Code to be something trivial. Planning and routing conduit for 220v and maintaining public safety is not to be scoffed at.
Ya, cool...that's nice and all. But could someone please tell me where the apartment dwellers are supposed to charge their cars at? Unless there's some sort of metered charging pole (via credit card swipe), I doubt they will let us leech for free. Also, will there be charging poles at designated parking areas while at the office?
I'm not opposed to electric vehicles, but there is some serious down-to-earth questions that need answered first.
Ya, I've gotten that a few times too at mom and pop convenience stores. Something to do with not being able to dial out from a shitty phone line or something.
They play the top 10 in rotation with a healthy dose of ads in between. Basically, they're computer automated acoustic drive-by billboards. Tune in my friend. Tune in...*sic*
CD used to be worth buying prior to the RIAA getting greedy and homogenizing the music into bland Muzak. To make matters worse, all new and re-released albums suffer from the "Loudness War" mastering. So before all this crap happened in the industry, CDs were about quality and hi-fidelity.
FYI, I treat my old stock CDs like faberge eggs. Priceless!
It's been my understand that these machines would prompt the customer with "out of order, your transaction has been refunded" or some such message. They would walk away with a peace of mind while their account info has been recorded. But yes, I would have bitched at the front counter asking them when it would get fixed. That at least would have called some attention to it.
Saying they're good cars is intellectually dishonest.
Relative to some of the cars people drive who do *not* qualify for this program? I'd say "good cars" would be an applicable statement.
The replacements these people are buying are not free
That is correct. We are all paying for this program with our tax dollars. It's government micro-management at its finest through taxation. Nothing new here.
A tank of gasoline costs about 35 bucks right now, and topped 55 before the markets collapsed
Oil is fungible. Had the federal Gov not placed restrictions on drilling and refining in this country, the over all costs would be lower. Again, just pointing out how incompetent our government is.
I have a better idea that makes much more sense! How about we trade in these "clunkers" to China in favor of them knocking off some of our debt to them. I've been to that country five times in the last five years. I KNOW what kind of shit-boxes they drive. One of our clunkers replacing one of their POS machines would be a huge environmental advantage.
Did I mention how incompetent our government is? I thought it would be worth repeating. It never gets repeated enough.
That's the same kind of illogic that allowed businesses to buy SUVs and then write them off their taxes (during the Bush years). I expected such things from the SUV-loving Republicans, but not from the Green Democrats.
I just don't get it. I really don't.
At least here in Houston, I see more Obama bumper stickers on SUVs, BMW, and Mercedes then anything else on the road. In other words, it's the wealthy urban socialites that vote Democrat. So tell me, where the hell does this SUV-loving Republican mantra come from? As a voting Republican, I've never purchased a new car in my life. In fact, my current car is a used 99 Mazda Miata that gets 25MPG city and 30MPG HWY. So would you forgive me if I drive a gas guzzling SUV and voted Democrat?

Rather then jam the signal, why not instead hi-jack the phones through a special cell transmitter? This way, all attempted outbound and inbound calls would be blocked with an automated message informing those effected. With the exception of 911 and other emergency numbers.
It could be that you have bad RAM or the timing is incorrect. Have you ran memory diagnostics (through Windows or Memtest86) yet? If not, I highly recommend that you do so.
Most of the incompetence can be blamed squarely on the Democrat controlled Congress. Exponentially so with the new administration and even stronger Democrat controlled Congress.
I'm actually happy how rapidly they are fucking the nation over (too slowly, and people would not raise a fuss). The sooner states start succeed from the union, the better. The Federal Gov has become one hell of a tyrannical corrupted cluster-f**k. It won't be long before the stars start falling off the flag.

Hey man, don't bitch to me. Bitch to our federal Government.
I'm not the one making the rules, only point out that they exist and can become a major stumbling block.
Am I serious? No, they are. Take it up with them.
I wouldn't exactly call adhering to the National Electrical Code and Fire Code to be something trivial. Planning and routing conduit for 220v and maintaining public safety is not to be scoffed at.
Doable? Sure. Trivial? Hell no!!!

Hey, it takes two to make it happen. Do you really think it's the woman's fault for spreading the clap?
That's what I mean when I said "sexist". What the hell kind of brainwashing are you talking about?
Women are from Venus. Men are from Mars.
Perhaps that's why an STD was coined "venereal disease". Sexist, I know. But just a thought.
