Missing Noun Alert! Your five year old dropped dead on his/her birthday and you salvaged the parts?!

Oh, did I forget to mention the bathtub of ice water? ;D

Those dratted nouns, people always ask questions when they go missing...  :P

You should be able to get away with it unless you are being stalked by the grammar police.

I haven't noticed any (many?) things not working here -- I tend to still get 32-bit programs even when using Windows 7 64-bit.

The horse says:

Can I run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit computer?

Most programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows will work on the 64-bit version of Windows. Notable exceptions are many antivirus programs.

Device drivers designed for the 32-bit version of Windows don't work on computers running a 64-bit version of Windows. If you're trying to install a printer or other device that only has 32-bit drivers available, it won't work correctly on a 64-bit version of Windows.

May be I misunderstood the question?

Thank you!

I have had ZERO problems with 64 bit windows since the Vista days. XP64 was another animal, but Vista 64 and Win7 64 have proven quite reliable.

Thank you!

IF I could get a leftover new Win 7 machine, would I have to junk my 32-bit programs or does Win 7-64 bit handle them OK?

I would like to know if you can run 32-bit programs now on Windows 7 64-bit? I don't want to have to throw away all my 32-bit programs. The last time I checked you couldn't do that.

Where in Booyabible is this found?

It works like this. You first copy the web address of any news article that is behind the registration firewall and paste that URL into the Google Search box. Now click the first Google result and you’ll be able to read the full text of the corresponding story without registering or subscribing.

Try it. This is the address of a WSJ article: Drillers Begin Recycling 'Frack Water' - WSJ.com

If you use the article's title in a Google search, clicking on the WSJ link works also.

That didn't work for me, but using Google's cache did:

It's a hack. I was wondering how many people would be interested in it.

Online newspaper websites like The Wall Street Journal and Financial Times are part of the First Click Free program but Google visitors can still get free access to all the news articles without registering or subscribing.

Online newspaper sites like the Financial Times require users to sign-in if they want to read more than one article on their site. The New York Times too had such a restriction in place earlier but they seem to have dropped that requirement now.

The Wall Street Journal, on the other hand, is a subscription-based site. They do offer free access to some of news stories but all the premium content is behind a pay-wall and therefore available only to paid subscribers.

Since these newspaper websites are part of the “First Click Free” program, someone visiting them via Google search can read the first page of the story without registering or subscribing. The first click is therefore “free” but the user will have to sign-in or register to read further.

First Click Free & Google Visitors

However, due to a possible bug in the implementation, the registration prompt gets bypassed for Google visitors giving them free access to all the news articles – even the premium content meant for subscribers.

It works like this. You first copy the web address of any news article that is behind the registration firewall and paste that URL into the Google Search box. Now click the first Google result and you’ll be able to read the full text of the corresponding story without registering or subscribing.

Now Austin wants to secede from Texas.

What does that even mean? The Unincorporated Town Formerly Known as Austin becomes its own state? Or does it automatically secede from the US as well? Speaking of that other thread with the conspiracies, all this secession stuff is ... a game. Units simply cannot secede, that was the cutting edge news of 1865. So here we go again, someone's playing an angle, and I simply won't waste my energy on it. It will go away in a couple of years. We didn't go through total hell for 160 years with lots of ugly wars only to have states/town threaten to secede in ... wait for it ... 2013 out of what is very close to boredom.




It's in Silly Humor. Don't take it seriously.

Haunted toaster from 1984 episode of Today show

Contrary to what you might think, the Internet did not invent stupid videos. This one, a clip from the "Today" show, dates all the way back to 1984. It profiles June O'Brien, a woman who claims her toaster is possessed by the devil: It talks to her in an evil voice, spits out toasted emblazoned with "SATAN LIVES," and shoots fire. "Why have you kept this toaster?" asks interviewer Richard Dominick (who, not surprisingly, apparently went on to be a producer on Jerry Springer's talk show). "When all is said and done, it makes good toast," June answers. Can't argue with that.

'Overly Attached Girlfriend' turns her crazy-eyed attention to your PC

One virtual bouquet of roses goes out to YouTube sensation Laina Walker for totally monetizing her "Overly Attached Girlfriend" character and landing the starring role in this bizarre Samsung ad. Watch the wild-eyed woman transform into an "Overly Attached Computer" that creeps us right out with all the ways it can totally ruin our lives. What's she threatening this time? Oh, just unfriending everyone we ever knew, annihilating our files and firing off dirty messages to our dads. Is that enough to persuade you to look up what the boring-sounding SSD 840 does? How about her promise to leak all your passwords, credit cards and bank account info? Yup, we're freaked.

College Humor: Gay Men Will Marry Your Girlfriends

Clipboard.jpg
There may have been gay rights victories in Maine, Maryland, Washington and Minnesota this past election, but there are still states out there doing their best to keep couples from getting married.
For those states, the men of College Humor have an ultimatum: Let them get hitched, or they'll bite the bullet and start marrying your girlfriends.
They have a pretty solid case, guys.

That looks nice Arizona, but I couldnt read a thing :D
Here's a higher resolution copy
 (see attachment in previous post)

Thank you. I got the results below using IE 8, but was able to get a higher-res image using Chrome.



Tomos: What gave you the idea that you could find a higher-resolution image somewhere other than the home site?

I did find it at the same site - just kept clicking till I could read it.
