Selling at an auction was halted when the auctioneer announced, "Someone in the room has lost his wallet containing $2,000. He is offering a reward of $500 for its immediate return." After a moment of silence, there was a call from the back of the room. "$550".

Has anybody here purchased anything from this site?
They have what I want, unlike a million other retailers...but never used them before.
Basically this is what I want http://ultraboooks.com/product/asus-zenbook-ux301la/[^]. They have the latest Intel Iris version on the high resolution with 8GB and SSD.

Thanks, but the closest one to the one I want, doesn't actually specify the resolution. Also, it comes from an italian reseller, and is on a 4-5 day lead.
I have actually been at this all year waiting for (to be released) and trying to find the right one, so trust me, I'm well googled up on this!
Hence the reason asking about that specific retailer.

Good luck then. Do you have anything similar to the US's "Better Business Bureau"? You can check complaint sites about Ultrabook.com...

Yeh, that what I thought, but then I would expect more bells and whistles if they were trying to hide something.
If you search for their address there are a heap of companies operating out of the building, and it looks like it is one of those virtual office locations.
Still can't find anything to say its bad, i.e. previous reviews etc. (still not placing an order till I'm 100%!)

This may be old news, but I've only just been on Google Maps for the first time in ages and I see they're channeling the spirit of Clippy.

We have a sizable suite of legacy applications using MFC. Several of the apps use a property sheet that has been modified to support resizing via a Windows CBT hook. I've just discovered that recent versions of McAfee's applications incorrectly handle Windows CBT hooks, which prevent the property sheet from creating its window.
Stupid bastards  .
My apologies to McAfee folks for the temper tantrum in this post  . It looks like Rajesh works for McAfee, and will look into the problem.

A lot of antivirus software frowns upon hooks of any kind. Keyboard hooks, even when implemented in legitimate software normally sets them off as well...

7 or 8 years ago when I had to write an application that used one I was rather surprised when my employers AV *didn't* call it out. Especially since what my app did was to store the input in a buffer prior to streaming it out out over an RS232 port (to an embedded system that didn't have standard keyboard/mouse interfaces).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A lot of antivirus software seems to be worse than the viruses they're supposedly protecting you from

Gary, I'm not sure I understand that scenario correctly, but there may be a bug.
I'd like to take this up into our bug database and triage it for a fix if you're fine to give some technical details. Can you kindly send me an email if that's OK?

My 6-speed manual mustang is for sale : ) would you like it? Because, real men also hate the environment and drive Gas Guzzling V8's.

I'd love to have something like that. But with the current petrol price, that would be the last thing I need.

Just. Ruby on Rails, you make my brain go fu-diddy-do. I'm sure it's 'easy' and 'simple', but why does it take six weeks and double digit gin consumption to learn?
