How's Your Day? Archives

This is what I hate about Microsoft...

Making users log on by using CTRL+ Alt+ Del is a fairly straightforward process on XP and earlier. Just pull up user accounts in the control panel, and toggle the option.

Win7 Pro? Not so much. Spent 5 minutes with google until I finally found out that you have to open a run box, type "Control Userpasswords2", go to "advanced" tab, then click on require Ctrl-Alt-Del.

Why change this? Can someone explain the need in hiding this command? I couldn't find a way there through the GUI, had to actually run a command to get to the obscure setting. Reminds me of the opening scene from Hitchhiker's (3:37 mark):

That's great and all, but what about your Distraction Halloween Girl vote???

 

I was hoping we could get more contestants before we start voting!

 

see below:

Absolutely! Let's see your nominations, gang!

 

I'm pretty fond of the 8th one in this set.

 

meow!

 

Number 11 is perty... still doesn't take away from black cat girl.

Nice bow.

 

There's a bow in that picture?!?

 

I knew you were going to ask that.

 

Fall

Today is beautiful fall day. A brisk breeze, comfortable temperatures. The fall colors are bursting in vibrance.

 

I'd agree with you, but we are a little warm today for what I'd consider nice fall weather.

 

It is pretty decent weather for building a wikiup, though. I'm really wanting to build a semi-long-term structure for camping in my back yard. Got TWGW's approval for a wattle and daub hut, a wikiup, or small vacation "cabin". Now all I need is to decide on a building style and go for it. I want to build it from what I have available, so I'll probably go with a wikiup or bender. I've got a ton of automotive carpet which would probably make a good insulation layer, and I found my old mailbox to make a small stove out of... Plus, if I build it right, we might be able to use it for halloween next year!

 

Sorry, we just pretend to be your friend for the great shave goodies. OK, the truth is we expect you'll be much better in a few days. Perhaps time for a break?

Also, a utility doing anything more than reading a meter without knocking is unacceptable in my book.

 

I maintain a wide variety of weaponry at my house that is good for decapitation, knocking down unwanted ladders, and misc. mayhem. Just ask, and you can borrow any of said items - and what I don't have out right, I can probably make or otherwise acquire. ...just being friendly.

 

that sweeney todd fellow knew. I heard he wants lots of styptic and gauze if you have any left

 

Great, you just ruined it for me
