But read or not - she still claims that climate change is akin to racism/slavery, i.e. she's saying that it's a MORAL issue, and not a scientific issue. That is just wonky.-Renegade (April 12, 2012, 06:23 AM)
Update: Here's a story in the Eugene, Oregon Register-Guard newspaper about this incident: http://www.registerg....html.csp?print=true-mwb1100 (April 12, 2012, 01:19 AM)
“I don’t think this is a space where there’s a real public discourse,” she said. “It’s obvious to me that people aren’t interested in what I actually have to say.
“These are personal attacks. ... If you’re interested in my work, read it. It’s OK to disagree about things, but do so in an honest way and don’t attack people personally.”
Not having read her paper (have any of us read her paper?) I cant say I honestly trust any representations of it here or linked here. I mean it *sounds* like it's over the top, but I know that very many of the "against" people -yeah, just like very many of the "pro-people" ;-) love to exaggerate and generalise without actually quoting very closely - or giving decent references, or maybe without even quoting at all...
I reread any quotes I could find linked here or linked from the pages linked here, and nothing I found quoted actually said what people said she was saying. Now possibly that's because she said it in too wordy a manner. But I think if you're going to attack someone so personally, why not make sure people can believe what you say (that she said) ?-tomos (April 11, 2012, 11:47 AM)
As someone who works a fair bit with images, but needs/wants a file manager (not photo-management) I gotta say I'm disappointed by *all* the big file managers. DOpus is the most image friendly, but even there there are some very basic image needs ignored (and I have posted in the forums & made official requests without success).Interesting, tell me more. I'm currently thinking about developing XY more towards the needs of photographers...-tomos (April 10, 2012, 04:53 AM)-DonL (April 10, 2012, 02:49 PM)

is there a shortcut-way of starting an app as admin from the start menu -
Ctrl+Click, or something like that?-tomos (April 09, 2012, 01:36 PM)
Right+Click, select Run as Administrator.-barney (April 09, 2012, 04:45 PM)
no, I meant a shortcut method, one click with a qualifier key - maybe it's in FARR ??-tomos (April 10, 2012, 04:42 AM)
Using a Keyboard Shortcut
NOTE: This will allow you to temporarily run a program as an administrator once until you close it.
1. Press and hold Ctrl+Shift while opening the program.
2. If prompted by UAC, then click on Yes to apply permission to allow the program to run with full permission as an Administrator.
NOTE: If you are doing this is while logged in as standard user instead of an administrator, then you will need to provide the administrator's password before the program will run as administrator.
The Windows 7 shell (Explorer) can be made to run with Administrator privileges by this manual process:
Kill Explorer shell by holding down Shift+Ctrl, right-clicking the Shut down button in the Start Menu, and selecting Exit Explorer
Start Task Manager with Ctrl+Shift+Esc
Elevate Task Manager privileges by going to Processes tab and selecting Show processes from all users
Then start up a new instance of the shell by File | Run in Task Manager, typing in explorer, and selecting the Create this task with administrative privileges.
After following the above process, the Windows shell will be running with administrative privileges, and any programs it launches will also have administrative privileges. This makes performing tasks that require the privilege far easier, particularly for command-line applications, which usually fail silently or with an Access denied. message rather than giving an opportunity to use UAC to elevate the process's privileges.
What I'm interested in, though, is creating an account which uses a privileged shell by default, rather than having to follow this laborious process every time. How can it be done?

Well, here's another flying story:
http://rt.com/news/t...lying-car-plane-392/For decades science fiction writers, and their more practical cousins, engineers, have dreamt of building a flying car. Now that one is about to arrive on the market, the real question emerges: what are flying cars actually for?
US company Terrafugia has variously labeled its Transition model as a “roadable aircraft” and a “street-legal airplane”, perhaps in a quest to avoid the inherent fantastical connotations of “flying car.” Particularly when they are trying to make customers shell out $279,000 for each one.
But functionally, the Transition is definitely a flying car.
Practical or not, it definitely seems cool!-Renegade (April 05, 2012, 09:22 PM)
if you used (say) ScreenShotCaptor (SSC), then the image is captured into SSC's working buffer and saved as a file. However, I think SSC does not get the image copied into the Clipboard.-IainB (April 07, 2012, 12:46 PM)
Crabby, if you're not sure what you're doing, and you'd like to revert to how things were, you could consider using System Restore.I tried this second... unfortunately this didn't help either... but I was able to learn what to expect from Vista's System Restore.-tomos (April 06, 2012, 07:44 AM)

To move your documents to the D drive:-x16wda (April 06, 2012, 04:32 PM)
(The DATA (D:), that used to say Documents, was already highlighted... I clicked it anyway but nothing changed.)
When I clicked the Addressbar... it changed from Computer>DATA (D:)> to D:\
Note: As I mentioned above, I think Reply#15, my Start Menu now lists Documents as DATA (D:). In the right pane.-crabby3 (April 06, 2012, 09:04 AM)
Not sure what you mean.-crabby3 (April 06, 2012, 07:53 AM)
I think Windows fixed this issue for me.
I just opened WordPad, clicked New and used Save As. When I opened it again... D: was listed before the file name and... and... IT OPENED!!!!!-crabby3 (April 06, 2012, 07:46 AM)
