With consideration to Grease Spot Cafe, I am in haven, er heaven

Microsoft has a Windows 7 area, from the main Microsoft page you choose "windows" and choose "windows 7" from the drop down box...From the main Windows 7 page, I chose the "Ask a Question" area (on the right) and put in some key words...here is a result. Keywords: 32 bit applications run 64 bit http://qna.live.com/ShowQuestion.aspx?qid=...%3d%26form%3dQB ------ One thing I should point out, I think. In installing the Beta, 32 or 64 bit, after having a created partition, you are going to need to reinstall the application. I haven't gone into this, so perhaps better to be pro-active. So, whether you are creating a new partition, or installing to say a spare hard drive, you cant just go, and start up an already installed application on another area of your computer in 32 or 64 bit...there may be a work around, I just reinstall the apps I want to use in the new environment... From my experience, as I have said earlier, we are not there yet on 64 bit applications, not enough out there. I think the way to put it is that the bar is higher, than in the days when we were going from 16 bit Window 3.xx to Windows 95/98/ME and beyond.. A one-eyed Traffic Cop In going from 32 bit to 64 bit, there are "more under the hood" restrictions. For instance, and I need to put this as an opinion, I have been told, for instance, that Norton Anti-Virus, 32 bit, when installed, makes slight changes to core operating system files..in a 64 bit operating system, I understand that just isn't possible.. A Traffic Cop with an attitude ---- Back in the old days of Windows, where the software world was, was operating environments, not operating systems, there are substantial differences...once the software world moved to Windows NT (and let me say, I am not meaning to leave out the Mac folks, or the Unix/Linux folks) we were really using a true operating system. Anyway, in that transition, the trick that was used was really sort of a hybrid operating system, things called a "thunking layer", it eased the transition, borrowing 16 and 32 bit pieces (windows 95/98 and less with windows ME) ...although with going from 32 bit to 64 bit, that process(es) aren't used anymore, there are some things going on the hood when you are using a 32 bit application in a 64 bit operating system, but I understand its merely expanding or padding the 32 bit instruction code (i.e the enhancements of the 64 bit processor)...I haven't sat down into the bowels of 64 bit Windows XP or Window 7, I would merely say again with the Traffic Cop example that he enforces the rules vigorously, applications can only do what is allowed..and the core code doesn't give applications any "wiggle room" to talk back to the core code...the core code just stops the application right then, right there..

Rumrunner, I think has nailed it on the head... um, I think mushrooms are not plants?? They actually need a tiny bit of light to orient themselves... may I have a bronze star for the day?

I love it Mark. Thanks, great story....."that parrot what you sold me yesterday is dead"...

Youth is a thing of the mind. A response and choice to daily living.

Congrats RAF...

That is the million dollar question. Some can, some can't. The ones that "count" are drivers. Remember, we are first talking about the operating system working first and foremost. That is the operating system is an "environment" that programs or applications are running within. The operating system is the traffic cop of the computer. So, if you have a video card, that is 32 bit, if that runs, that is a good thing, but not guaranteed...its one of those things to research from the video card manufacturer, part of the homework to do, before installing Windows 7...and what about the sound driver, same thing...got a dvd player, same thing... So, your question is very important. I stressed, and would like to restate that in my opinion, the best way to "mess around" with Windows 7 is a clean install to an available partition you have created or is available through say another hard drive you may have that does not have anything on it...creating what is called a "dual boot" machine. Compatibility is the name of the game, an important goal for Microsoft, that is pretty much the reason they have made the BETA available, Microsoft has a big, big lab, with rows and rows of different kinds of computers with different video cards, sound cards, all the diversity of the rainbow for computer configurations...so that they can test compatibility...but they don't have in the lab, the real world, your pc and my pc...so they put the BETA out there and hope when you find something that you either tell them what you found...and it is the case that when something does not work, built into the Windows 7 is an application that sends information about what happened to Microsoft...we are not talking about personal information, any of your data...merely what your or my configuration is, what is on the pc, the driver, the application...and at what point a crash or problem or incompatability occurred....i.e. the symptons....information that points or narrows down the flow of events that resulted in something that stopped working.....regards...michael

Oh, Jack, my one eyed cat scans my mailbox for spam, he likes the trackball...

This is a very funny post. On par with that list of unusual causes of death in the US, from hunters killed from falling out of trees, or vending machines that people try to shake to get their snickers bar and the vending machine crushing them...around here, in Iowa, I understand the second most common cause of traffic accidents, collisions and so on is due to running into deer, second, that is to DWI accidents....

Ok, Gspotters, its Mr. Dude, ok...? As far as spam, I do not feel I get enough of it, I need a "thicker" you know what, I want every Nigerian Attorney to help me collect the national lottery or undisclosed recipient of an inheritance, I have been looking for a bride from Russia, Vigara is my drug of choice (I am waiting for the Vigara nasal inhaler to come on the market), so please help me get more email (I am a lonely man) and work is harder to find these days...so spammers I have no problem helping you make a few cents putting me on a mailing list.....

Thanks, just saw this, I will write him "a nice letter", after all, I am a nice guy (some of my relatives have even said so).

Thanks for telling us about your experience so far. Its those quirks that sort of make it worthwhile or a headache. In looking over some of the tech sites, I hear a lot of "go for it" talk about just going 64 bit, which is fine, when there are enough applications to work in that environment, and I haven't seen that yet. There are some advanced video editing applications, but I haven't seen a whole big slew of things available....regards..michael Thanks for the offer...not to be mean, or rude, or anything...where you are with Linux...do you get free polo shirts from time to time? To me, being validated for technical experience, expertise, involvement, means at least a freebie once a year....

You are quite Welcome. Computers are just like women, er, sort of, ya love em, ya hate em. And I suppose the maintenance and upgrades are part of the package......have a good one....regards..michael

There are "cold" solder tools, out there, have seen it on TV and even Wally Mart....

Woody Harrelson, next question..

I want to try, Sam Adam's "utopia" brew, Modern Marvels has done a piece on it. The Adam's people say they use a "Ninja" yeast that is able to work in an environment of alcohol above 12 per cent. They say its like a taste of the beer the Mesopotamians would have drunk......yow...I am in on that...!!!!

Just create a new yahoo email. Pretty simple. If you really are concerned, install Vidalia/Tor, start Tor, connect to the site using with your temp yahoo account, you are going to probably have to confirm the yahoo account, so in creating it, again, chose from Tor, a new connection... IP masking, nothing illegal about it, if you have some real worries about identity...its all good...regards, michael

Hmmm, wierd...Can you give any more details? I have absolutely not used skydrive, so I have no frame of reference, but the first thing I thought was, gee, he sound like he was uploading, and then this message comes up and he says yes...so I am thinking/wondering if the process that went on was like a small download, a control, a service, that is in "tools" "addons", in internet explorer...if that is the case, what I am thinking is you look through the entire list of addons you have installed, and there are like 3 categorys available in the list...I would suggest looking through the list, by date and time...if there is one that has microsofts name on it, at the time you said yes, you might try to disable it and see if the problem goes away...if not, it is, in my opinion, not a big deal, removing a single addon, in that if you really needed that particular addon, the opportunity will come up again, if and when you need it....so, my advice, look around in addons and see if you find a connection on the time, when you said yes....I will check this post later to see if you find anything.....regards, michael

This should help you guy and gals... http://whois.domaintools.com/wordovertheworld.org

Is the Central Tavern in the University area of Seattle?

Please post all photos with the new yahoo activeX "smell attachment". Creative labs does have the smell card available, however, the optional smell recorder is not included (modestly priced USB device). thank you for your cooperation, I looking forward to an enhanced experience with regard to future postings...regards, michael

My recollection of the topic of this thread is that Word Over the World was everyone having the opportunity to hear the rightly divided word...as in the word over the united states, everyone having had an opportunity to say yes or no to the rightly divided word, that was why there were WOW ambassadors. And with regard to word over the United States, I believe that was accomplished after TWI had that nationally broadcast show...I wasn't involved with TWI then, but I watched the program, like a half and hour broadcast on the television.... Getting a twig in every community of like over 5 thousand was a goal, but the focus I remember was "the opportunity", as in one on one witnessing to everyone in the United States...

Stroh's, perhaps the best brew to go with "seared sausage products"...mmm, Stroh's

I love Texans, really I do. I live for a while in Austin. Been to President Johnsons home town. Ya, pearl wasn't a bad beer in my memory. When I was in Texas, Willie Nelson was playing 4 days a week at the "Armadillo". I even dated an ex-Miss Texas girl, oh, she didn't win, second or third, but hey..I was under her league.. So, thanks for responding, we are in Just Silly and I feel qualified to spin a yarn...regards...
