[quote]Here's an Example I think everyone can relate to: Think about buying a car. Now what if you decide you want a better, faster, engine for that car. Now imagine that when you go and buy a new engine for that car that the car's manufacturer comes to you and says it's now illegal for you to drive that car because you put your own engine in it. THAT example is the kind of thing I can see happening down the road and that I think would be a Clear rights violation.[/quote

The easiest way to save a jpg in a PDF is by right clicking on the picture and choosing copy image, then paste it into your favorite image editing software as a new image.. You don't need to install any additional software to do it.

Gotta love Windows Update...now I have 34 optional updates showing available. SP1 unhid all of the optional language packs. Easy fix...click on the Arabic pack , hold shift and click the Ukrainian pack, right click and hide updates...done.

I ran a few benchmarks and the performance of the 2 systems I checked is around the same as before SP1. Just about everything I read shows SP1 to be about stability so I didn't really expect any performance differances. Time will tell though since I haven't had a chance to really check everything out.

I downloaded mine directly from Microsoft since I have more than 1 PC to update. You can download it directly from here . Be sure to read the file descriptions in the instructions for the correct file to download.

Windows 7 SP1 released in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

Well, I installed the public release of SP1 for Windows 7 64 bit today and everything went fine. My system was already up to date and it was a little over an 85mb download. I think I'll run a few benchmarks to see if it effects performance in any fashion just for the heck of it. Anyone else updated yet?

Reply to Multiple Monitor Wallpapers with DeskScapes in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

How are you getting past the 2560x1600 limitation of Fraps and what are you using to encode to MPEG or WMV that will allow a higher output than 1920x1080? Your video shows a 3 monitor setup with a dream running but that can be done with a Triple Head to Go. I'm running a dual monitor Eyefinity setup and am unable to produce 3840x1080 dreams although I can create dreams to stretch properly.

While it took a few days last time it happened to me, after reporting the rippers, dA removed my stuff. I was a contributor to dA at one time and still have a membership so I can comment. I decided it was time to pull my stuff when it was being ripped and reposted from their own site. I was able to supply them with a link to my work on dA that was clearly posted over a year prior to the rippers post on dA. If dA can't police their own site, I'm not going to upload ther

Not sure how much to believe in the story since it's from the Enquirer. Looking at the second photo, I'm not sure if it's him or if the hand is real or PhotoShop. Doc, you should be a better judge of this than I, are there Doctors that are good enough to judge how long a person has to live from a photo like this? If it's true, I feel for him and his family, no one should have to endure the pain he must be going through.
