I've been running WB7, but figured I'd try this one to fix the firefox titlebar thing, but when I try to install, it complains that WB 7 is still installed (I have done the uninstall and reboot, but it still complains). Figured it might be something with the beta, so tried 8.06, same issue. Probably need to pester support, but figured I'd first check if anyone else has had and fixed this issue. [e digicons]:)[/e]

Just curious. I've been away from things the last year or so, due to family issues and being pretty sick myself, and so just now decided to renew my Object Desktop and Wincustomize subscriptions. The wincustomize subscription renewal completed immediately, with no issues, but I got some sort of error / informational message from the Object Desktop renewal. Don't remember the text of the error offhand, it was something like, 'we'll be in contact', or words t

Something to consider when it comes to believing that it's okay to casually disarm the average person: "When seconds count, the police are minutes away." So, here's a quiz for you: Your home has been invaded, and it's absolutely certain that the invader has chosen to do harm to you and / or your family. Do you ... Fight back, with whatever you have available to you (even, God forbid, firearms). Or .. Do you cower in a corner,

How about we strip out the rhetoric of 'fighting the government', 'aboriginal decimation', and so forth? While there *is* some justification in some of the interpretations of the 2nd amendment viewpoint of standing against an oppressive government, when you focus on the underlying reason for that right, it ultimately comes down to the idea that an individual has the right to defend themselves (and those around them) from those who would do them harm. And that right inc

2005 350Z Roadster. First new car, bought outright. Been a Z fan forever, have had several earlier models (all used, some more than others [e digicons]:D[/e] ). 7 1/2 years old, less than 40k miles (work from home, so only driving is road trips / recreational / errands, etc.). Great little car (and the main reason I like it? I'm 6'6" 245 lbs, and this little Japanese convertible fits me better than almost any American car I've ever driven). Who&#39

There is no context (in any *rational* world) where the natural reticence of a scientist constitutes any fault at all, let alone manslaughter. It *is* medieval.

[quote who="tetleytea" reply="27" id="3078995"] I pretty much just bang them hard on the technical. I rejected behavioral interviewing a long time ago (that's not to say everyone else has, though). My logic is if they know their stuff--and least, to the extent that I hammer them--then they had to have a work ethic to get that way.

When I was a teenager, my day job was bringing back the wooly mammoth for dinner :) Seriously, though, I was a teenager in the '70s, and didn't really have much trouble finding work (and as the oldest of five with a single mom, believe me, I *had* to work :D). It is, obviously, somewhat harder today, at least in terms of easily available opportunities, and that can be a bit disheartening when it comes up as often as it seems to. I think the close

This may be what you've already tried, but just in case ... To make the phone fully reset itself, you need to hold down the power and home buttons for at least 10 seconds (this cleared an odd little 'phone won't come back on after the battery ran down' issue I had). Syncing on iTunes shouldn't matter either way, at the end of the reset process you went through, you should have the usb screen on the phone to tell you to start the initialization routine (plug

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="13" id="3035441"]On the subject of Parallels, it comes with a feature to skin the windows apps to look more like OS X which is powered by MyColors. You do have to turn this feature on in Parallels before it is downloaded and enabled though and I would always recommend anyone with Parallels does this. However we do not sell any products which work on OS X itself. I did see that there are some apps to skin OS X at least for older versions

Yeah, I've got a MacBook pro that I got to replace my old laptop that flamed out (pretty nearly literally). I got the MB mostly because I like the aluminum body, and I've got it boot camp'd to run windows. Since I *really* like the customization options for windows that Stardock provides, I tried to look for something similar for osx when I boot to it, but there really isn't all that much currently available (some utilities to change the icons seem to be the o

Here's a thing to think about: How many aftermarket boards are set up to allow or facilitate overclocking (usually with additonal options in the BIOS), and how many OEM boards are not? And, how many of those overclocking options are used by the general public (answer, not very many). So, here's the thing: Most (if not all) of the same board manufacturers that currently support overclocking (and other user configurable options, like memory speed, etc.) a

Secure boot is an option in the UEFI system, not an absolute requirement. In most implementations, it can be turned off, allowing any OS (or combination of OSs) to be installed and booted from. There *is* some concern that some of the OEM providers may hide or remove that option, whether to curry favor with MS or just out of laziness or stupidity. I would avoid those. Though there is some cause for concern with the OEM boards, even MS does not *require* that th
