Fortunately Microsoft has addressed this problem (as of April this year, so relatively quick in Microsoft time) so that the WinSxS folder can be cleaned up.
How did Microsoft address the WinSxS problem last April?
On the other hand, we now know the complete value of Pi to enough digits that we can encircle the entire Universe and be accurate to the NANOSECOND. How accurate is enough?
You probably mean nanometre here. Nevertheless, I remember an Asimov essay saying that given the radius and even just a few dozen digits of pi, we could calculate the circumference of the universe to a small fraction of an electron. I think he said 70 digits would do.
Win + "not" and Enter on my machine brings up something different called "Sticky Notes"
It's not until Win + "notep" that I get Notepad. Nevertheless, I'll agree that yours is the right way, if Notepad isn't on your Quick Launch [or whatever it's called]
I don't think your keyboard is connected correctly.
Honestly, it's hard to take you seriously - even if what you say is correct and pertinent - when you consistently misspell simple words. It's "lengTH", which ends in a "TH" sound as in "THis" or "THat", not an "HT" sound as in "unenligHTened". Not to mention "yields", "remember", "numbers", "though", and "polynomially" [although I just did].
10c each way for text? Luxury!
My Rogers plan charges 25c each way. I text so little that I pay less than what a texting plan would cost, because I use the iPhone texting whenever I can.
My coffee card is made of cardboard, and the cashier crosses off a number with a red pencil each day.
I don't feel like they're tracking me, the coffee is great, and I get some free too.
You've endured mockery because of this requirement, but here's what I use:
http://www.wallpaperdownloader.com/ is a free utility that downloads daily Bing images and rotates them as wallpaper. Come the holidays they will show up as wallpapers also. It's completely automatic, and you can choose to keep the images to build up a nice collection of pretty pictures, as I have.
i use it with my mom who can't teach honors calculus but can't figure out changing desktop icons
What *can* she do?
All mocking aside, I'll give another upvote for LogMeIn. Unfortunately, they are switching to a limit of 10 computers in the free edition, so I'll have to trim back a few of the older ones.
Firing lasers at the moon from Earth means it runs into a couple hundred thousand miles of various gases before it reaches space.
200,000 miles of atmosphere? I think you might be off a bit there. That's about 84% of the distance to the Moon.
The Karman line, commonly used as the boundary between atmosphere and outer space, is at 100km. Even shooting a laser at the Moon on the horizon won't come close to your number.
Yes, I see, it has limited merit, and is inferior to impactors and suited only to the bag of orbiting gravel and very long time frames because it is so very very weak.
Thank you for that admission. However, your level of condescension detracts from that markedly.
I would like to see a ssimilar report that rated other methods in more detail
Then why don't you get on that right away, Bill? With your superior brain, they should be done in no time. Please post them here when they're ready. And I promise I won't call them "fool's work".

And if anyone asks for the number on the back of your credit card, with Amex it's the number printed on the front.

I just went to candyland.com on a whim.
You would be surprised at what I found there. It's Hasbro, all right, on a search page with "0 items found".
I guess the irreparable injury of 1996 has passed, and now they don't care.
I was confused by this also. Perhaps he meant "long" as a verb, as in "So, long for our constitutional freedoms, which we once had."

As I saw on the CBC
Leader: What do we want?
Crowd: Evidence-based decision-making!
Leader: When do we want it?
Crowd: After peer review!

Sheesh.
Yes he is, and don't call me Shirley

Spray yourself with WD-40 and do a dozen Hail Stahlmans.
I read this as, "Spay yourself with WD-40 and do a dozen Hail Stahlmans" and fell out of my chair laughing.
I read this as "Spay yourself with WD-40 and do a dozen Hail Stahlmans" and didn't even smile.
This particular test only got to 325 feet
This particular test got to 325 metres, a considerable height greater than 325 feet.

I don't see how that answered the question.
Only if the thrusters are bolted onto the massive craft. They could be 10km away, cradling the probe with cables.
Think outside the box that is limiting you.

Honestly.
Props to Valve for slightly improving their product and some how getting news websites everywhere to recognize this as revolutionary.
Perhaps they took lessons from Apple.
saying it was taken out of context and only applied to using the desktop with a mouse and keyboard,
Mouse and Keyboard??? Isn't that how 95% of the population is going to initially be using windows 8?
I can't say I agree with this. Surely the number is much greater than just 95%.
LOL, literally. Some tears of laughter.
And no mod points, or you'd get them all.
Still giggling.
Thank you.
Mold my butt.
It took me a moment to realize you meant "mold" as a noun here.
If we assume that the helmetcam is looking in the same direction as the bike rider, then he didn't see the marked cruiser until we did.
That is, after he had been stopped and was off the bike.
