It’s always tough to get
everyone in the same place at the same time. It’s often tougher
when that time is the holidays. Video conferencing to the rescue! If
you can’t get the gang together in the real world, you can use
the virtual world to share that holiday spirit. And who better than
Microsoft to video conference … especially when they’re
offering a 14-day free demo of Live Meeting….

I'm officially engaged to Latthana! As far as diamonds go, this is
definitely a good one. Emerald cut (as opposed to Princess, Solitaire
/ Brilliant, Marquis, or Pear). I'm not a diamond expert by any means,
but the folks at Robbins Bros. (The World's Biggest Engagement Ring
Store) did a wonderful job helping. You have to find the right diamond
- there are so many things to keep in mind beyond cut - like
clarity,... [Continued]

Here we are, 1AM on Christmas Eve morning, and Ponz has decided to
whip up a batch o' fudge. Not just any ol' fudge, mind you - but ooey,
gooey, chocolatey chocolate fudge. We're out of marshmallows, she
says. What kind of fudge can fudge be without them? I'm a peanut
butter fudge fan, myself. Not that I eat fudge all that often, because
I don't. Too much sugar makes me a little wacky. We'll... [Continued]

The Internet has become a popular means of sharing information.
Home users can use the Internet for sharing their photos, documents,
and so on. Windows XP now makes it much simpler to do so through the
Web Publishing Wizard. When you open My Computer, you can click on any
folder, file, or picture, one of the File and Folder tasks listed on
the left is Publish this folder to the Web. If you select this... [Continued]

As if your pre-Christmas duties weren't enough, your home planet
suffers from extraterrestrial invaders. While enemy aircrafts bomb the
Earth, you are the last brave hope of humanity. The best starship is
prepared and well equipped - don't waste any time! Your mission,
should you choose to accept (and, really, you should, or we're all
doomed), isn't easy. The extraterrestrials seem endless in number,
they are aggressively dangerous, and they probably don't smell very
nice,... [Continued]

USAPhotoMaps downloads USGS (United States Geodedic Survey) aerial
photos from terraserver.microsoft.com and creates scrollable,
zoomable, GPS-enabled maps from them. It offers special support for
garmin GPS owners and an option to connect the GPS to the application
in order to retrieve aerial photographs of the current location. The
program works fine, even if you don't have a GPS, all you need to do
is enter the Longitude and Laditude numbers of the location that

Certain people find it amusing to ask me how the weather is �up
there.� You see, I�m 6�5� (feel free to scream in disbelief), and
apparently I have a completely different climate surrounding me. The
way I look at it, I�m just that much closer to the hole in the ozone
layer, which means that I�m probably absorbing more of those damaging
rays that Joe Shortbody. Either way, I thought I�d try and see what...

One of the most popular articles in this series was on the special
problems that seniors have using a mouse, particularly if they have
arthritis. But some seniors have other issues using a computer that
are related to advancing age. All of our senses start to have problems
as we age, and seniors might need to use alternate means. These
problems are often relatively minor compared to being truly
handicapped, but even minor problems can... [Continued]

Many times when your computer has a problem, the most
common/effective treatment is a format, and reinstall of the OS. Many
people avoid this, because of the amount of work that it takes to get
the new OS install running the way that they like it. The most common
reason for not wanting to reinstall an OS, is because of the fear that
they'll never find the right drivers. Well folks, this problem has

Aunty had no idea that there was such a distinction to finding the

which can explain this last minute rush to post newly discovered flaws

Aunty told you about two flaws which were discovered by a Chinese
