Windows 7 (Pro and above) is licensed for a VM install of XP Pro. Microsoft even offers a pre-configured one for this purpose. Then you can have the app run like a normal one on 7, but its actually running in XP.
Well, the benefit of 2-3 days a week is 40-60% reduction in not-fixed transportation expenses (mileage, gas, wear & tear) - you still have the base costs of the vehicle, tabs, insurance - but you're not paying for gas for those days, and the commute time isn't there. (More time to work or play, depending on your needs and how you're paid)
So it can still be worth it - and a good way to get started and try it out, if your job can handle it. (Start with one day a week, or one day every other week - as a trial - if its intriguing to you)
Provide download URL, downloads file (you pick quality level, I just leave it at "best quality available")
Then as a separate action, you can convert a file you've downloaded. Convert to MP3, or various video formats (for mobile devices, for example) are available.
Free (not GPL free), works great. What I use for making HLSS clips for my Source games...(then have to convert the MP3 to the proper audio format for Source, but that's Audacity's job)
BattleTanks is the game/series you're thinking of. (They did at least 2, I played the 2nd one long ago when the console was still current, found a copy of the first one later when I bought an N64 on a nostalgia kick)
Anyone who calls a unit of currency the 'loony' or 'toony' can't be taken seriously.
No one will see their attack coming.

The Death of BCC

Perhaps email clients could be modified to highlight, or give a textual warning at the top of the preview/document pane/window (much like our browsers today warn us about a site wanting to install an addon, and whatnot) saying that "YOU WERE BCC'D ON THIS EMAIL."
Default this feature to 'on.'
Ideally built-into the client; an easy-to-install addon/plugin would work as well but guarantee most don't have it.
Interesting...how long does it take to scan the folder structure? (If say, you wanted to run it *right now* because you'd made a bunch of changes to commit notes on; I'm curious on the performance of said system)
I wonder because I like the simplicity of a basic file structure, but the ability to add metadata of some sort without risking the file structure...this seems to be a (relatively) simple way of doing this...
Now only if it could be kept current real-time, without storing the files in a funny system...
We in America tend to think that we should keep as many jobs as possible here, no matter how crummy. And yet we complain about the monotony of some jobs, and the poor pay of unskilled labor locally. And... the bar is being raised ever higher. Software Engineers, IT, Help Desks, and Call centers... It's tough... But we have to realize -- and quickly -- that we are "competing" in a global labor economy. If there is another group of people in the world that can do the same job for less money, and the government structure is more favorable to business... then we better be a lot more efficient, offer some tangible benefit that the overseas people can't, or be prepared to go to war. That's just life!
The problem isn't that [Offshore-location] is cheaper. The problem is that those making the decision to outsource to [Offshore-location] aren't looking at everything. ALL they look at and ALL they care about is the immediate cost. They're not looking at efficiency, quality, or any other tangible benefits. As long as the outsourcing doesn't result in products directly killing people or a massive boycott, its considered a success - regardless of the reduction in efficiency, quality, and customer/end-user happiness/loyalty.

You'll now find yourself able to uninstall that, and any previous versions of the Java Console that have been left behind by numerous updates to that piece of software as well.
Because in 7 (or 14, or 28) days the article disappears forever and anyone coming upon the discussion later is SOL on the topic. That, or pay $20 for access to their "archives." Combined with the other commentator's mentions of paywalls, content laid out with two sentences per ad-laden page, etc.
The difference between Forefront and MSE is the corporate management back-end. MSE is Forefront's client with that feature removed.
(If its really removed, I don't know; maybe just disabled? Would be interesting if its Group Policy capabilities were still there...not that there is much to change in the way of settings)
Checking within the app to 'Upgrade Security Essentials' didn't find a new version; so I grabbed the 2.0 installer and ran it. It prompted me during the upgrade if I wanted to opt-in or not. I unchecked the box for now. Still need to reboot for the update to finish; finishing up some other things first before kicking that off:-D
Would depend on why they dropped out, really. Parents were helping foot the bill, one suddenly lost ability to help, yet couldn't qualify for loans that weren't oppressive, grants etc; job offer that turned out really good & required full-time-plus attention, whatever.
Maybe they did what this VC is hoping people will do. They dropped out to do something awesome, sold out (or that opportunity ended) and they want to move on to something else.
So if they listed it, I would perhaps ask why. The reason may have been worthwhile, and insightful into the individual. As long as you've got them sitting in front of you, what's another 5 minutes in an interview? They've made it that far.
I know! My general rule is $100 - I don't buy the Phenoms or other "high-end" models. Last time went with the 2.8GHz quad (Athlon II X4 630)
I could picture buying the same as a Phenom if the L3 cache would make a big difference for what I ran, but it doesn't make enough of a difference when gaming to be worth the cost.
I also love how both articles are from PCMag and nothing linking to AMD directly.
Put it inside an enclosed shelf. Large for cool air, but maybe open on the back. Or just behind stuff so the sound doesn't travel forwards. Worth a shot if you can try it. Or consider upgrading to one of the newer models that draw less power and thus run the fan less. (Sell your old one, or keep it around as a spare or for a gift for someone)

I didn't study much of biology, so there may be obvious things I'm missing.
BUT
If we can turn it on and off again, isn't this a step towards curing cancerous cells? (Telling them to self-terminate, or at least limiting their tree of spawned cells?)
At least it is proof that we can manipulate the cells at that level, now just to work on the side effects...
That's what I was thinking - yet again, I can think of two potential issues.
I've hit a few that were not a standard length. Some are 8, 10, 12, 20 character length. So you chop it to fit.
Then they change their policy, increasing it to a new limit. One might have to keep a list of domains and a single number to signify the length of the password at time of last change.
What do you do when the site limits the password length, or doesn't allow certain characters in the password? (That may have been generated by your SHA1 encryption)
This is always the problem I hit with this idea, and thus haven't implemented it yet.

EFF gets anything not used in his legal bills, as he stated long ago.
When re-use of a device is impossible, you don't design for multiple uses...

Firefox 4 lets you at least disable plugins; haven't played with it enough to figure out how to remove 'em.

No adapters exist for HDMI->Analog 7.1? They probably do.
Warranties become a matter of distinction, as they are now. Some places offer it as a 'bonus' others don't, but its cheaper.
