The latter means it's far easier for 64-bit drivers to be compiled, and to that end the 64-bit versions of most any distribution have the same full complement of drivers as their 32-bit counterparts. The end result: Windows may have support for just about every hardware device out there, but only if 64-bit support's not part of the equation.
In Windows, the 64-bit barrier shows up in some other minor, but annoying ways. Both 32- and 64-bit IE is included with the x64 editions of Windows, but if you plan on using the 64-bit version of Flash, keep waiting. Flash only works in the 32-bit incarnations of IE, Firefox and so on.
Official support for 64-bit browsers is planned later this year. On the Linux side, unofficial, but solid support for 64-bit Flash playback is out there right now -- although the level of implementation may vary widely depending on the distribution. Ubuntu, for instance, seems to have the most reliable handling of such things; with other distros it's more of a piecemeal crapshoot.
If you're committed to moving to 64-bit Windows but have no drivers for some crucial hardware, there are a few workarounds. One is a variation on a plan that Microsoft is hatching for Windows 7's official release: use a virtual machine, running 32-bit Windows, to enable hardware for which only 32-bit drivers exist. This can be done in Windows right now -- in fact, I did it using VirtualBox and a spare copy of 32-bit XP to get my scanner and printer working, neither of which were supported in any 64-bit edition of Windows.
It may also be possible to pull off the same trick by running Linux in the virtual machine. VirtualBox is particularly useful for this since it allows you to directly connect USB hardware to the virtual machine, even if said hardware has no driver on the host side. But if you have no overriding reason to move to a 64-bit edition of either Windows or Linux, odds are you can stay 32-bit with the next iterations of both without losing out on anything.
Your Programs
As someone else once put it: "It's the software, stupid." No operating system is going to be worth the trouble if it doesn't support programs you use. Windows 7 has a distinct advantage in that it supports all of the software that ran in Vista and XP, with only the most minimal of exceptions.
If you endured hassle getting programs to work in Windows Vista, most of that was probably due to the way Vista insisted on only running programs in non-administrative user mode. In the three years since, just about every program released for Windows or updated since is now "Vista-aware", and behaves appropriately. Windows 7 doesn't change this situation, so any existing Windows programs that worked under Vista should work in 7, too.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
The Daily Cross Hatch talks to cartoonist Susie Cagle, who was at Occupy Oakland on Tuesday gathering material for her graphic series about the history of Occupy Oakland, when things turned ugly and the police threw flash grenades and tear gas canisters into the crowd. "As I crouched down to protect myself, a teargas canister rolled right under my face and exploded," she said. She was helped at the scene by a medic from Anonymous, and she plans to go back; she was shooting a video at the time, which you can view at the site.
The tear-gassing has changed Cagle's plans:
It was going to be a five-part piece about how different Occupy Oakland is from the rest of the occupation. When the camp was up, it was very different. They were primarily concerned with creating this functional mini-city, rather than doing focused protests and actions, which is very different than the other ones
But as so often happens in the journalism biz, the story has changed out from under her, and she's going to stick around to see how it plays out. Stay tuned.
Is it wrong that my initial reaction after seeing this headline was "I hope it was Ted Rall"? I need to let go of some stuff.
Good! That'll teach them!!
IK, some people have a purpose the their are people with nothing better to do. Like i am sure some of them have good intentions but dont realize their encouraging slackers to just camp around and eat charity food. Im glad i live in Boston, the police here wouldn't put up with their shit.
Dr.Ew, please tell me you aren't serious with that last post. If you are, do you mind answering why you support making sure a small percentage of people benefit at the expense of the rest of us (yourself included) and why you deride those who would fight for the equitable, common economic interests of the country (yourself included)? Or if you're a Koch Bro, that's okay, I already know what you're up to.
Dr. Ew, I'm surprised that you consider tear gassing, flash grenading and shooting people in the face with rubber bullets as "putting up with shit."
@Chris: Don't forget "fracturing an Iraq War vet's skull with a tear gas cannister".
Damn those slacking Iraq War vets, with all that camping around and eating charity food they do.
Let me get this straight, the OWS slackers throw bottles, rocks and paint at police and it's the fault of the police that they used tear gas? Give me a break. If you can't do the time (in the hospital) don't do the crime (throwing rocks and bottles).
If you watch the videos you won't see a damn rock or bottle tossed.
Jeff, at what point are journalists subject to the brutality that you believe the protestors deserve? Reporters rights are protected in war, so why not in civil protest in America?
Someone needs to go down to these occupy camp sites and give them what they really need….job applications for McDonalds, Burger King and Taco Bell.

With so much attention focused on efforts to reform health care in the United States, it is easy to lose sight of the even more daunting health problems faced in other parts of the world. Many poor countries fail to provide even the barest minimum of health services to their citizens. Annual per capita health spending in the United States is greater than combined per capita health care spending in the poorest 70 countries. Living conditions in many places are grim, and life expectancies in developed nations are 30 years longer than in developing countries.

"All I can say is "we love it!!!" (Traditional Luxury Winter Warmth comforter, ed) We were skeptical about spending so much money for a comforter but have absolutely no complaints. It's light as air, well-made, and a sheet and the comforter is all we need for our California winter. I would definitely recommend it to my friends!! San Jose, CA
"The comforter (Traditional Luxury, ed) is great. Thank you for having recommended the light weight version – it is perfect. I appreciated you answering my questions and was impressed with the shipping arrangements and coordination of timely arrival before my departure.Thank you – it has been a good experience doing business with you." Hank, Fairfax, VA
"I'm on my sixth winter since purchasing my Traditional Queen comforter and thought I would drop a line to let you know how much am enjoying it.
Previously, I owned a department store comforter that was suppose to be down but I have wonder what kind of feathers were really in that thing. It was never particularly warm, the down was constantly shifting to the edges and it leaked feathers. Every time I changed sheets and had to re-fluff the comforter to get the feathers back to the middle. What a PITA. A definite case of you get what you pay for.
On the other hand, my Plumeria Bay comforter has been perfect. Toasty warm, the down never shifts and it has never leaked one feather. I never even need to fluff it up as the down never seems to get matted down. Just normally making the bed seems to keep in in tip top shape.
Since I live in Phoenix most people think there would be no need for down and although I rarely run my heat, the winter nights are quite cool. My house is typically in the mid to upper 50's by morning during our cold snaps and around 60°F typically. With my comforter and a set of flannel sheets these temps are no problem. I'm toasty warm. What amazes me is when if I get out of bed I can come back in 20-30 minutes and the bed will still be comfy, hardly cooling off at all." Jim, Chandler, AZ

Everyone is Reading:
A Month-Long Community Reading Event
"Everyone is Reading" is Howe Library's one book, one community event. In 1998, Seattle Public librarian Nancy Pearl developed the idea for a program that would bring people together by reading and discussing the same book at the same time. The idea soon spread around the country, reaching all the way to a small town in New Hampshire.
This year's title is
A Walk in the Woods
by Bill Bryson. When Bill Bryson returns to America after living abroad in England, he decides to reconnect with his native country by hiking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. Bryson is no seasoned outdoorsman, nor his is companion Katz, an old friend from Iowa. They quickly learn that things do not always go to plan when you hike the AT and that the people you meet along the way are only part of the journey. At times humorous, insightful, and entertaining,
A Walk in the Woods
is a classic travelogue of America's love affair with the idea of outdoor adventure.
This year's event schedule features programs that feature themes of nature, wilderness, and adventure.
Take a look at this year's schedule.
If you read a book that you think would be a good candidate for the 2016 "Everyone is Reading" series, please let us know by emailing
Keep in mind that the book must:
be well-written
have a compelling story that raises interesting questions
suggest varied programming possibilities
appeal to men and women
be available in paperback
have less than 350 pages

Diamond Rio Finds Fans Among Peers
Rascal Flatts and Blake Shelton are among the band's many followers.
When you've had more than 30 hit songs, it's hard to remember them all. And Diamond Rio admits they forget they cut some songs, but others, not only do their fans remind them, but their industry peers do, too.
The band's Dana Williams tells Country Weekly, "The last time we saw Rascal Flatts, they came up to me and said, 'Hey, do you do "Misses Him On Sunday" live?' And I said, 'We did at one time!' And they said, 'You don't do that anymore? Shame on you!' And the four of us proceeded to sing it right there. We hear that all the time."
Lead singer Marty Roe also admits that he's been busted by Blake Shelton. "He always hits me up to sing 'Mama, Don't Forget to Pray for Me.' We do a small portion of it in the show, but he's like, 'That's the best country song of all time.' He's a big boy and he'll kick my butt if I don't do it."
The guys laugh and Marty adds, "We've been blessed with so many great tunes and it's hard to fit them all into one show. We do our best and this live project is probably our best attempt to do the lion's share of the hits that we've had along with a lot of stuff we do in our live show that's never been recorded."
To catch up with the band and read about their forthcoming live album, Diamond Rio: Live, pick up the June 23 issue of Country Weekly, on stands now.

Every so often I wander into the Beginners thread to see what is happening and I keep seeing the same questions asked over and over again, similarly I can see a serious lack of basic financial education and understanding in threads like Storm and Brisconnections. I myself have expressed my view that what we need is education so those that choose to be educated, the cycle won't continue. The question becomes then with the wealth of knowledge on this forum surely there is something that we can do?
So I suppose it's one of the trickier questions. I was given a great piece of advice when I was a young man.
Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life.
It's a great mantra to live by because many people spend so much of our time at our "job" - whatever that may be. So you may as well be happy to be there - like the people you work with - and get great job satisfaction.
The problem I have at the moment is that someone is trying

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- His feet are tiny.
Seen from this distance, from up on the concourse, even shod in those emergency-orange boots, his feet seem too small to be the cause of all this ardor, all this animal panic. Every time the ball comes into his reach -- or merely drops within range of the blazing Renaissance halo we paint around him -- half the crowd rises to make its noise. The other half holds its breath.
Lionel Messi has come to New Jersey.
To the American defenders, he is a rumor, at once everywhere and nowhere, a thing bouncing between them without origin or destination. He is gossip, insinuation, a wisp of
spreading outrage. Four men converge on the spot he just stood. Another collides with him, hard, but Messi rolls away unhurt. Again. Again. He is a pinball, a whippet, a ricochet. He is knocked to the turf. Lies motionless. Rises. He stands completely still in the cold, head down, unseen and unseeing, a man waiting for the bus, until he springs away, the ball riding his instep.
The ball follows him like a dog. When it wanders, he calls it and it comes to him. They confer briefly. He scratches it behind the ear. He sends it rushing ahead.
Argentina scores.
It is a privilege of my work that over the years I've seen many great players doing many great things. Turns out I've lived in the Great Age of Sports, and I've spoken to some of the greats and I've shaken their hands and we've talked about mechanics and practice, about ambition and work and desire, about sweat and obsession and sacrifice, about fathers and mothers and coaches and winning and losing and keeping the weight on the balls of your feet.
I've seen the magic up close without ever once understanding the trick.
Nicklaus. Jordan. Bolt. Ali. Feller. Schumacher. Maybe the best who ever lived. Maybe the Greatest Of All Time. Maybe. Or maybe just the best across the century of our self-regard. Across our modernity and the age of our conceits. Sports hyperbole is as old, after all, as Homer and "The Iliad."
So is alchemy. How genius turns the merely human into gold. Into greatness. If you get it, no explanation is necessary. If you don't, no explanation is possible. What they do and how they do it remains perfectly inexpressible, and therefore unexpressed. Even to themselves. They simply do. They simply are. The act is reason enough for the act; the gesture explains the gesture. The rest is bookkeeping.
We squint down at the numbers, at these echoes of the insensible, trying to make order of what they've done, trying to tally the sums of their poetry in our ledger of the ordinary. Trying to marshal our arguments. It can't really be done. We add, subtract, multiply and divide; but at the end of things, the heart decides. It's the only hall of fame that matters.
In soccer, for example, history now presents us three names. Pele. Maradona. Messi. Two with a standing claim to the title "Greatest Of All Time." One just waiting for his paperwork to clear accounting.
Lionel Messi is so good that even winter has come back to see him.
The New Meadowlands are frozen, and a scouring March wind carries away the cheers and the music and any hope of soft spring. The twilight sky is as blue and sharp as a blade. The U.S. versus Argentina feels like Packers-Lions '65.
Below me, across the grass, Messi floats like smoke.
And that's as far as I can take you in the present tense.
After two days, I can think of no further way to describe what I was seeing, to draw for you his partnership with the ball, or explain his command of orbital mechanics or Newtonian physics. He is a suspension of cause and effect. He creates his own reality. As all Greats must, he defies science and language and must be seen to be believed.
In order to understand what I saw Saturday, I will send you not to YouTube, where the growing archive of Messi's genius resides, but here, to "The Red Balloon." A movie about the inanimate and transcendence and love. Rent it. It is the only explanation I have ever seen for what he can do with a football.
Lionel Messi in the age of Lionel Messi.
As small as he is, and as ordinary looking, you expect him to be crushed by the weight of our expectations.
Rather, somehow, he lifts us all.

Hey guys,
What do you think of my website, do you find the content useful?
You forgot to include a link.
I do not see any url here. Are you talking about iypnetwork
Sorry guys, it was late morning when I posted this.
Really nice, Are you selling this website. I saw your site at flippa.
I was selling it but I've grown fond of it now.
I managed to improve the Alexa ranking from 5,000,000 down to 1,049,859 (current ranking) in 2 weeks. With this fantastic boost, the site monetization has massively improved too - most especially from plugin affiliates.
WP Dezign is now getting higher recognition by the top WordPress blogs so it's definitely worth not selling it.
Flippa was a great disappointment.
I changed the look of the site recently and the bounce rate was greatly reduced because of that.

Resident shooting gun on property near Port St. Lucie school prompts lockdown
Police called to reports of gunshots behind River's Edge Elementary School
Published 2:50 PM EST Jan 16, 2013
A Port St. Lucie elementary school was placed on lockdown Wednesday after police were called to reports of gunshots in a nearby wooded area.
Port St. Lucie police said reports of four to six shots were heard behind River's Edge Elementary School.
After an extensive search, St. Lucie County sheriff's deputies determined the shots came from a home on the other side of the river behind the school.
Police said the resident was legally shooting his gun on private property.
The lockdown was lifted shortly thereafter.

Hyams Bursary
A bursary of £3,500 is available for one MSc Information Science student. This bursary is given in memory of Montagu Hyams, a pioneer of scientific publishing and the online industry, and founder of Derwent Publications Ltd., now part of Thomson Reuter. Montagu ('Monty') Hyams was a research chemist who in the early 1950s began a service summarising new inventions. The business he founded grew into a leader in scientific information provision, best known for the database Derwent World Patents Index. A lifelong Londoner (1918-2013), his archive of correspondence and technical papers is also held by City University London.
The bursary will be awarded each year to one applicant for the MSc course in Information Science, and will be used to reduce the candidate's fees. Preference will be given to applicants with scientific qualifications or experience, particularly in the chemical of pharmaceutical sciences, and/or specific interests in scientific information handling. Preference will also be given to applicants who are self-funding their studies. Home, EU and overseas applicants are equally eligible, as are applicants for full-time and part-time study.
Applications for the bursary should be made at the same time as an application for a place on the course.
The Alex McVitty Memorial Award
The Memorial Award provides financial assistance of £1,500 towards living expenses. One award each year is offered to a full time home or overseas applicant, for either Library Science or Information Science, who wishes to develop a career in law librarianship and can demonstrate financial need.
History of the award
Alex McVitty studied for an MSc in Information Science at City University London in 1997-98. Tragically Alex died in a road accident whilst cycling to her work as a law librarian. As Alex had to fund herself through the course, combining study with part-time library jobs, her family and friends chose to establish a memorial fund to provide an annual award to help a student wishing to pursue a career in law librarianship. The memorial award fund is administered by The British and Irish Association of Law Librarians.
Applications for the award should be made at the same time as an application for a place on the course.

Modex 2012: RedPrairie says order anywhere, fulfill anywhere
Between stores, the Internet and smart phones, consumers can place an order or make a purchase no matter where they're located.
Similarly, retailers can now fulfill their customers from anywhere they have inventory, said Tom Kozenski, vice president of product strategy for RedPrairie (Booth 405), a provider of supply chain software solutions that extend from the point of manufacture to the point of sale.
"From a supply chain standpoint, we have built out our platform to support an order anywhere, fulfill anywhere retail strategy," Kozenski said. By extending warehouse, inventory management and shipping solutions into the retail store, Kozenski explained, a retailer can gain visibility into its inventory positions across the network, whether the inventory is in a store, a distribution center or in a trailer on its way to a distribution center.
That allows a retailer to take an order in its stores, from the Internet, from a smartphone or from a kiosk, and then fulfill it from the distribution center or retail store that is most advantageous to the retailer.
"The retail supply chain is changing and the biggest change has come as retailers have discovered that they can ship direct-to-consumer orders from their stores if they have a label printer and a terminal in the backroom," Kozenski said. "With a holistic view of inventory, they can use business logic they can optimize the decision making about where is the best place to fulfill that order."
Modex 2012 is scheduled to be held February 6-9, 2012 in Atlanta's Georgia World Congress Center. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry. Modern's complete Modex 2012 coverage.

This new soma Bay Kitesurf centre is based directly on the beach of the new 5* Soma Bay Movenpick Hotel. This hotel is perfect for kitesurfers with non-kiting partners or family as there is a high level of service and great food.
The kitesurfing in Soma Bay is some of the best in Egypt with a huge bay and the best wind stats in the region. The whole bay gives rise to absolutely sensational - and incredibly varied - windsurfing and kiting conditions: flat water, small to medium sized waves and shallow areas offer something for every level of ability. Due to the small, offshore islands and reefs, the entire bay feels as though it is framed, which gives a very pleasant feeling of security when you are out windsurfing and kiting.

Joe Jonas in G-Star 3301 Slim Jeans
Joe Jonas stopped by King's Road Cafe for lunch with all four of his brothers. We haven't seen too much of the brothers lately, besides Kevin, who's reality show just premiered. Has anyone watched it?
Out of all the brothers, Joe is most frequently featured on the blog, it seems like he tends to try a lot of different denim. One brand he is consistently spotted in is G-Star. He wore a pair of G-Star 3301 slim waxed jeans with a sweatshirt and pair of red leather sneakers. Check out what people are saying in the forum about G-Star here.

Joe Jonas in Hudson Minimalist Skinny Jeans
It seems like it's been a while since we've seen Joe Jonas on the blog! He posed on the red carpet while arriving at the Teen Choice Awards.
Joe wore a pair of Hudson's minimalist skinny jeans with a green blazer and oxfords. Joe has always had his own style, but I'm not sure how I feel about this outfit in general. I think the pants are a bit of an awkward length and make him look shorter. I think his pants either need to be a bit shorter or a bit longer, these just look like they shrunk!
Favorite Celeb Outfit: Joe Jonas
We see the celebs wear so many different outfits, we thought it would be fun if our readers got to pick their favorite! Here are all the various outfits we have blogged Joe Jonas in and please vote for your favorite! We mean your favorite by his head to toe outfit, not just his jeans! What do you think he looks best in?
If you hover your mouse over the pictures they each have a number assigned to them for the poll.

Joe Jonas in All Saints
Joe Jonas was caught arriving back to Los Angeles, California at LAX Airport. Looks like he borrowed a pair of jeans from his brother Nick, the All Saints Waka Short Kick Jeans. I think these are one of the best fitting jeans that I have seen on Joe. I like the slouchy fit on him.
Joe seems to favor the shearling/fur collared jackets. He has worn quite a few styles by a few other brands before. One jacket though that I am surprised to not see Joe in was one of the Burberry Aviator jackets. They look like they would suit his style perfectly. I cannot get enough of those jackets. The most perfect ones ever made in my opinion. The shaggy cream shearling one (which you can see below) is still on my want list even though it is no longer available. One can only dream.
