    I want to disable deletion of XP Pro folder but still write to it

    I try to avoid deny ACLs. In my experience it's a nightmare trying to document the reasons behind it. On the folder you are sharing, you can apply Modify to "Subfolders and Files only".

    website issue

    This is what it sounds like to me. Try having your mom perform a traceroute to your website and see where it gets stuck. From a windows command prompt: tracert <site name>

    Best 1st Credit Card?

    This is terrible advice. Please disregard it. Having said that, I prefer using one of these two: Citibank Mastercard Dividend Discover Dividend Both offer 1% cash back on all purchases and 5% cash back on all gas, grocery or drug purchases. Other cards offer rewards in the form of...

    You should schedule an appointment with your guidance counselor. He/she would probably love to hear you vent.

    GPS Guru's needed!

    I've decided to try and pick up the Nuvi 260 on BF based on your recommendation TimeKeeper. This looks like a solid unit and my fiance is sure to love it. Hopefully I don't like it more than my Pioneer. :evil:

    GPS Guru's needed!

    Timekeeper: The information that you are providing me has proven very useful in deciding on a GPS. I personally had a Pioneer AVIC-D2 installed in my dash if you've seen it and I'm very pleased. This unit is the one I found on Amazon and it is priced at $305. Is this the correct model and...

    GPS Guru's needed!

    Amazon has a deal running right now where it's $215 including shipping for the Nuvi 200. Just to clarify, this is the one I'm talking about. Is it worth the extra $90 for the Nuvi 200 as opposed to the TomTom One 3rd Edition on sale at Staples on BF for $125? I'd be interested in your opinion...

    GPS Guru's needed!

    Timekeeper: Thanks for the clarification on the mounting clip. That's sure to save some headaches. I found the TomTom One LE on BestBuy's website but there is no mention of 2nd or 3rd editions. How do I tell the difference? getbush: What model Nuvi do you own? Are you talking about...

    GPS Guru's needed!

    I'm glad this thread came up. I'm also in the market for a GPS unit. Based on your recommendations TimeKeeper and the current market, I will either purchase a TomTom One or Garmin Nuvi 200. I do have a few questions for you though. The Vent clip you're talking about is this correct...

    So, I'm working out just now and guess who I see next to me?

    Why in the world does anyone think that re-hashing the same stupid joke about Bill Gates is funny? Yeah I got the joke the first time, no need to hear 2 pages of the same damn thing.

    Sarah Silverman Program

    I don't find that she is funny or edgy, so chalk that up for another failed female comedian. I don't think I've ever found a female comedian funny ever actually. So I guess what I'm saying is females aren't funny.

    laptop reboots / blank screen on boot

    I'm working on a friend's laptop HP ZE4400which is having all sorts of problems. He told me initially that he was unable to boot up the laptop because it would continually restart before it loaded Windows. I booted the PC up fine, and was able to work with office applications and the only real...

    If a person was blind from birth, what do they see in their dreams?

    I had an opportunity to sit with a blind person and ask some questions. He said that most blind people don't simply see a black wall, but more like distorted or highly blurry images. Think of looking outside of a cloudy window. My guess is that blind people dream in blurry type images...

    audio head unit

    My car flooded a while back, and I'm in the market for a new vehicle. I found a black 2002 accord ex w/ leather and a 5speed that is at a great price I might pick up. I think that navigation would be awesome in this car but don't see where it would fit in. Also it doesn't come with a CD...

    People with cell phones who PISS ME OFF

    I agree, but mostly this is why it happens. The sound of a phone doesn't require much thinking for a person to decide what to do with that call. Their immediate reaction to it is to answer it because it feels like they'll miss out on a one time opportunity to get it. It's one of those...

    People with cell phones who PISS ME OFF

    There's a reason why people answer their cell phones with such urgency. The phone ringing represents one of the weapons of influence: Scarcity. You've got something and it's going to gone soon. People feel they have to get to it before they lose it for good.

    "cliffs?"

    I think there's a difference between asking for a brief clarification and a itemized summary of the whole story. Most of the time people ask for cliffs because they want the story, but don't want to read the story.

    I took spanish in college, and forgot a lot of it. I'm picking some of it back up because where I live there are a TON of latino people. I feel like I'm in little bogota and sometimes I wonder if I'm still in the United States.
