Apple's not going to want to set the customer of deleting/disabling (potentially even paid-for) stuff from user's devices based on some specific demand from an individual government%u2014or, next, from anyone with a lawyer. They'll take stuff off the store, and they'll disable malware, but messing with users beyond tha... |
Misleading headline and article. Oculus Rift has supported Mac for a very long time. I myself have compiled Mac apps for Oculus. Over a year ago. Certain VERSIONS of the SDK have come to Windows first. 0.4.1 must be one of those cases. But I know I downloaded an official new SDK release--for Mac--in the past couple of ... |
Go NVidia! Can mass CPU shipments coupled with widespread support for 64-bit benefits by the OS, great developer tools, and tons of third-party apps in users' hands be far behind? That's what we on iOS had a year ago, so I'm sure Android 64-bit support is now all caught-up with Google, developers, and handset makers al... |
I always thought the proxy sensor, at the very least, should be in the same slot as the speaker. Probably the camera too. It doesn't matter on the black models, but I'm surprised Ives had tolerated those scattered black holes on the white models. Just make the slot bigger and line those components all up in a row! Ther... |
I enjoy my AR.Drone, but if I had bottomless pockets this one looks awesome! (Still, the camera is secondary to me. I just like how easy/fun these things are to fly.) |
I remember them showing it off in a sickly, mildewy HP blue-gray and chrome look, like a 1960s vacuum cleaner. And what did they actually sell? Just white. Unbelievable let-down. Fool me once, HP! |
In the end, most of the YouTube videos from this will be people having it chase their poor Real Dog. |
Tablets are the future for most personal computing (and a lot of work computing too). We've known that since "a big iPhone" was first imagined. But conventional computers will still have their uses, and Macs are advancing steadily. What is interesting is to see how the transition happens. At first it seemed it would be... |
“Heeeeeeeeere's Maestri!” |
The more complete answers we get, the better. (And WAY better than we'll get from most phone-makers.) But this smells just a little like the typical twice-yearly "shocking scandals" about "if you give your iPhone to a stranger, and give them your password, and bring them snacks while they work and rub their feet, they ... |

Torn City Revive |
From Torncity WIKI - The official help and support guide |
Jump to:navigation, search |
Reviving allows a player to get another player out of the hospital, no matter how long they are in the hospital for or what their medical cooldown is. It will also replenish their life to maximum. |
You gain the ability to revive once you achieve the rank of Brain Surgeon in the Medical Job. You keep this ability even if you leave the job, and it is listed as a Perk on your homepage. The most common reasons for revives are faction wars, Xanax overdoses, muggings and for getting out of hospital abroad. |
Reviving costs 75 Energy, before Salutary upgrades. The faction upgrade Salutary can reduce the amount of energy reviving costs by 5 energy per upgrade. So a faction with Salutary V (5 upgrades) would make it cost 50 energy per revive, whilst the maximum upgrade of Salutary X (10 upgrades) makes revives cost 25 energy ... |
You can choose if you want to receive Revives from players by changing your Settings/Preferences between 'Allow everyone', 'Allow friends and faction' (people on your friends list and in your faction) and 'Nobody'. Trying to revive a player with their settings disallowing this gives the message 'This player does not wa... |
There are honour bars 'Florence Nightingale' and 'Second Chance' for 500 and 1000 revives done, respectively. The rank 'Healer' corresponds to how highly ranked you are in revives compared to other players. |
Payday loans: Why they might not be worth the short term benefits |
Some states find them so offensive, they're outlawed. |
And even where they're legal, people are advised to avoid them. |
Payday lenders say they're just providing a service, but critics say the costs are so astronomical, no wonder they're illegal in some states. |
Americans will spend more than 7.4 billion dollars on payday loans this year. |
Much, if not most, of the costs actually double the loan amount. |
"If you borrow 400 dollars on a pay day loan, you may carry that loan for five months and end up paying a total of 900 dollars in principal and fees," said Nick Bourke of Pew Charitable Trust. |
Bourke helped research payday loans. |
In-depth interviews with more than 700 payday borrowers were conducted. |
"7 out of 10 pay day loan borrowers are turning to pay day loans for regular living expenses, like rent and utilities," said Bourke. |
And thus starts the vicious cycle that includes compounding of finance charges that translate into yearly interest rates of 2, 3, or four hundred percent. |
"If the borrower cannot repay on the next pay day, then they'll usually go in and renew the loan, or they'll pay it off and re-borrow it a few days later when they need their rent or some other bill," Bourke said. |
Payday loans are under increased scrutiny, but as long as they're legal, financial advisers say borrowers should consider other options. |
"Things like getting help from family or friends, selling or pawning possessions, or of course tightening their budgets," Bourke suggested. |
Pew's research shows 19-million Americans will use payday loans this year, even though it's "highly unrealistic for borrowers to think they will repay the loan on their next payday." |
In this case we were installing hotfix |
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 Cumulative Hotfix 3077 |
The Hotfix Setup would rollback. You will see the below error in the Hotfix.log file |
06/24/2009 16:15:38.994 MSP Error: 29538 SQL Server Setup did not have the administrator permissions required to rename a file: d:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\mssqlsystemresource1.ldf. To continue, verify that the file exists, and either grant administrator permissions to the account currentl... |
Now if you peep into the Data folder you would see a mssqlsystemresource1.ldf and mssqlsystemresource1.mdf file which were supposed to be renamed. |
It obviously looks like a Permission issue. |
Running a Procmon would give you the below result. An access denied on the resourcefile. |
MsiExec.exe SetRenameInformationFile D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\mssqlsystemresource1.ldf ACCESS DENIED ReplaceIfExists: True, FileName: D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\mssqlsystemresource.ldf C:\WINDOWS\system32\MsiExec.exe ... |
Running Process explorer would show SQLServer having the handle to the Mssqlsystemresource file |
If you look at the SQL Server Error logs you will see that SQL Server is running while the Setup is trying to rename the MssqlSystemResource files. This would give and obvious Access Denied error. |
SQL Error Log |
2009-06-24 16:14:54.18 spid5s Starting up database 'mssqlsystemresource'. |
When we look into the log file SQL9_Hotfix_KB960089_sqlrun_sql.msp, |
You will see before the FileRename function call, there is a call to start the SQLWriter service. |
In this case SQL Writer was dependent on SQL Service and when Setup would start SQL writer the Service Control Manager would start the SQL Service before and this was the root cause for the file rename to fail. |
Add SQLSErver as dependency for SQLWriter. Then tried to install the hotfix and it failed with the same error |
sc config "SQLWriter" depend= "MSSQLSERVER" |
Now install the hotfix and it should fail |
Method 1: |
Remove the dependency by running |
sc config "SQLWriter depend= "" |
Method 2: |
1. Look in the SQL9_Hotfix_KB960089_sqlrun_sql.msp file you will see that the function "Do_sqlFileRename" being called to rename the Resource database |
2. Create a System Variable named SqlStop and the value as Do_sqlFileRename |
3. Run the hotfix. The setup would halt and prompt you when it starts the function "Do_sqlFileRename" |
4. Now go to the services panel and stop SQL Server. (You should see a prompt to stop the dependent services as well) |
5. Continue the Setup Prompts to finish the installation |

THOMAS MARSHALL, best remembered for his eight years as Vice-President under Woodrow Wilson was born in North Manchester, Indiana. His father was a physician. He graduated from Wabash College in 1873 and was admitted to the Columbia City bar soon after. Although he was a popular public speaker and active in local Democ... |
Marshall was elected and was a popular governor, although his attempts to have the state adopt a new constitution failed. A few progressive measures, such as a child labor law and a corrupt practices act, were enacted under Marshall's leadership, but many more that he urged were defeated. During his terms as Vice-Presi... |
Slight of stature and impeccably groomed, Marshall continued as a popular orator after retiring from the Vice-Presidency. His autobiography is an entertaining record of his career. |
Big ESV falls short of Cadillac experience |
Nov 24,2006 00:00 by Mark Maynard |
General Motors builds so many variants of its full-size SUVs that the differences end up being six of one, a half-dozen of the other between those at GMC, Chevrolet and Cadillac. |
They're all pretty good truck-based SUVs, so it's more of a styling choice, whether Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban or the GMC Yukons. |
2007 CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV - The Cadillac Escalades stand out from the SUV pack due to their different exterior body panels, more soundproofing, leather and upscale electronics. CNS Photo courtesy of Cadillac. |
The Cadillac versions -- the Escalades, in short wheelbase, long wheelbase ESV and EXT pickup style -- have some uniqueness through various exterior body panels, more soundproofing, leather and electronic devices. And they cost more. |
I logged more than 250 miles in a gold-mist metallic Escalade ESV with cashmere-hued leather, 22-inch chrome aluminum wheels, navigation with rearview camera, sunroof and a heated steering wheel. The window sticker was $68,085, including $8,400 in options that I expect many buyers would select. |
At 5,866 pounds, this is a lot of vehicle. It's an effective extension of the contemporary Cadillac image and it is a competent stroking of a Chevrolet Suburban into a luxury SUV experience. But while you can gild a Suburban with champagne-beige paint, there are some dark roots showing in the Cadillac. |
If size and mass equal personal security, this has the presence of 18 1/2-feet of safe-place on the highway. |
It is made sure-footed with all-wheel drive with electronic stability control, automatic rear leveling and road-sensing suspension, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and tire-pressure monitoring. Head curtain side air bags with rollover protection are part of the package. |
Yet with all this and a mighty 417 foot-pounds of torque, the ESV is somewhat of a lumbering bear. |
A few months ago I tested the short-wheelbase Escalade AWD and gave it a thumbs-up for guilty pleasure. It is extreme with the new 403-horsepower, 6.2-liter V-8 and six-speed automatic transmission. Even the 13-inch disc brakes with twin-piston front calipers were up to the task of halting its 5,665 pounds. |
But the same road-sensing suspension, disc brakes and power applied to the 21-inch-longer ESV aren't as impressive. This big wagon feels heavy as it moves from the stoplight and as it shifts weight to move quickly in lane changes. The brakes don't overwhelm with their stopping power, and they should. |
Even the somewhat lighter Suburban drives with more responsiveness. |
GM's new SUVs are built with tighter tolerances between body panels than ever before, and the quality shows in snug door closures and the fit and finish of construction. This improves aerodynamics and fuel economy in tiny increments. |
But the height and mass of the ESV are felt at highway speeds in wind noise as its blunt face barrels through the air. |
As GM ekes out greater fuel economy with aerodynamic treatments for slippery air flow, why not drop the ride height 4 inches? Lower the center of gravity for additional stability, make it easier for everybody to climb aboard and, maybe, cut down on wind noise. Not to mention the creation of a new, wide and low boulevar... |
The ESV has a value-packed list of standard equipment, including 14-way power adjustable front seats, power adjustable pedals and heated windshield washer fluid. The Bose surround-sound audio system is a standout and the power liftgate is a useful convenience. |
But it is inexcusable that the product planners did not insist on a head restraint at the center seat of the third row. It's an odd third row because the seat has a 50/50 split and the center three-point belt is positioned at the gap between the seats. With the bench's lower seatback, that's the whiplash seat. |
What would your reaction be as a parent if you watched your child buckle into that seat? |
I'd wish GM had charged a little more money and provided a Cadillac experience for all passengers. |
