From the article, I understand how it might help with some road issues. Especially the bridge example they gave. But I'm unclear as to its applicability on your average road vs. a little thing I've heard some call ice.

BootSkin does not work on x64. We may do an update to do a "simple" bootscreen option for it, which would replace the image but not the progress indicator. Not something for this month though. WindowBlinds has it's x64 version available, as does Multiplicity. WindowFX is in beta. IconPackager is coming (though the 32-bit one mostly works, there are some things we want to tweak). Other x64-related things are simmering here and there.

The Field Museum in Chicago owns the original Sue skeleton, iirc. I saw a bit on Nova the other week about how they were using rings in T-Rex rib bones (yes, like trees) to date how old various T-Rex skeletons were when they died. Believe Sue was my age, 29ish. Slightly bigger gal...

I've been on that ride many times after Phish concerts. Usually with only about 20K people, but depending on the show, considerably more. To make the ride even more fun, sometimes it would be down the side of a mountain. Without lights.

c242, that means you don't get to sync your server boxes or block unapproved processes running on them for $69.95. I'm sorry, but part of my job is running servers for a living. As a practical licensing issue, that would be ridiculous at this time.

How does your logic track there? As opposed to being an emotional gut-check "because". The activation that we've added to Multiplicity (the only product to make use of it atm, but it's going to be part of the other ThinkDesk components as well) takes place at install time and happens once. After entering your email and the serial number, it attemps to activate (this is all handled seamlessly in Stardock Central as opposed to standalone builds). And then, from that point, the activati

I would like to point out that contacting support would have worked wonders for this, as we've had builds available internally for testing that we've been providing to people who experienced this problem. As would the 1.00h Multiplicity Pro beta on Stardock Central, though at least 2 people have reported its not connecting right after upgrading (which we're still chasing down).

In the absence of a defined "thing" to test against, how can Microsoft help push the end-user experience for gaming? Can they develop standards for how games on a PC should install and present themselves? Yes. Can they offer a set of common tools and libraries to integrate common functionality between the PC and Xbox? Yes. Can they suggest specs and tiers for what's needed for a specific game or generic platform level? Yes. Can they ensure that Game XYZ is

I would like a kill -9 equivalent. If I can see the process, apart from very core system ones, I would like to be able to kill it. A fancy window that says "this app may have hung, why not wait and see if it comes back" isn't what I'm looking for. I know its hung, let me get rid of it. Could task manager maybe remember its sort order? Please? I just wasted 3 hours trying to load the x64 RTM on my AMD64 at home. I realize this is not all on Microsoft, but if the drivers exist
