Don't go.
Apparently all roads lead there....but there's no way to get out.

I'll just walk backwards then, that should work.

But wouldn't that make you get everywhere at the same time?

Walk your ass off;
Things I did last time I was there (with links of to photo I took)
The Mercati di Traiano is nice.
The Capitoline Museums is also nice espcially the view you get of the forum from the Tabularium[^]
Go up the vatican dome (again, by foot, just the stairs up are cool) and visit the museum (especially to see the death star[^])
Visit the churches around via Santa Cabrina (with the key-hole view[^] of the Vatican (at the door of the"Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta")
Visit (at least enter) all the churches you come across, there are really nice ones with surprising art in them.
The Basilica St-John Lateran is mighty impressive (even compared to St-Peter's) but it's out of the way,
If you want to do the tourist stuff, go early (coliseum, Roman Forum, ...) especially if it's a nice day.à
Stop for drinks at the Piazza Farnese (less touristy than nearby Campo di Fiori)
If you're into wine and small bytes (mostly cold stuff) : Il gigetto (Via dei Banchi Vecchi, 14).
If you like pizza, goto Pizzarium ( (Via della Meloria, 43, it's out of the way); it's the best pizza in Rome, not your usual round pizza, no seating, you eat on benches outside.
for more photos : Rome Flickr Set[^]
I'd rather be phishing!

Good time of year if you ask me, not too hot, not too many tourists. Havent been myself, and Florence would probably be first on my list, so I cant recommend anywhere. (Except, as always, ask the locals where they eat, you always find the best restaurants that way.)

Two days ago, I wanted to update my graphics drivers because the Sleep function on my laptop wasn't working fine. Initally I thought it would be done very fast, but it wasn't. I have two graphics cards, an Intel and an AMD card, so I had to update two drivers. First I updated the Intel one, and that was fastly done. But then I saw in the Device Manager that my AMD driver was wiped from the system, probably because of the Intel update. So I couldn't update my AMD driver using the Device Manager. So I had to re-install it. This was a lot harder than I thought. First, I used the Auto-Detect tool to detect which driver would be the best for my computer and then install it. When trying to install the driver, I couldn't because of incompatible hardware or software. I saw that the Catalyst Control Center was still installed, so I tried to uninstall that because after searching, I found that it had to be removed before installing a new driver. Then I tried it again, but it could still not install. So I tried to install something else: the latest version of the Catalyst Display Driver, and that installed successfully. But it didn't instally a driver, only the Catalyst Install Manager. Thereupon, I installed the latest AMD beta driver. This installed successfully and the AMD driver appeared again in the Device Manager. Great!
Then I brought my computer in Sleep, to test whether it was working fine now. And it worked! But when I woke up my laptop, it suddenly restarted instead of waking up. Changing some configruations in the Power Options solved this problem, and then Sleeping and waking up worked fine. But I tried it a second time, and then, when waking up my laptop, the screen was continuously flickering, and I couldn't do very much, so I restarted my laptop. When doing that, I got a bluescreen, and I got the Startup Repair tool that fixed the problems. After several minutes, the tool was ready and I could log on. I was wondering how the tool fixed the problem and I went to the Device Manager. I saw that the tool removed the AMD driver to fix the problem, and that worked. I don't get bluescreens anymore, and I still can use my Intel driver. So all problems are fixed now? No, not all, there is just one problem remaining: my Intel driver does not support Sleep...

You gotta love Windows eh?
Basically, you broke the rules. Microsoft say that no one would be stupid enough to have two graphic cards, therefore you cant. End of story.
By the way the repair tool just did a 'last known good' ie, it reverted to the last driver state that booted successfully.

Can you provide a link for reference?

Why not? Before trying to update, everything worked fine1 and I could switch between my two graphics cards.
1 Except the Sleep function, which sometimes worked fine and sometimes not.

I am only joking of course.

Oh, I missed that 
I didn't see the "Joke" icon, so I thought it was serious.

Yo ucan see why though, its not normal to have two graphics cards, so the installer from one is killing the other.
What you could try is getting hold of just the inf and sys file for each, and doing an upgrade of the driver in device manage and not use the supplied installer. You might be ok.

I will try that next time, but now it's too late because I can't install the AMD driver. I'll probably re-install Windows in July (when I have time) to solve all potential problems, and then I can try that.

I was just having a look at MongoDB, and so far I can say that I don't get the point (yet). You have no relational integrity, and you can insert whatever you want. Why on earth would anyone use a DB if he can't use relational integrity? Isn't this approach doomed to fail? I didn't look too deep yet, and I'm also not a database expert, but for me this whole fuss doesn't make sense. If MongoDB is just a database without relational integrity (this is as what I see it right now) I could just be using MariaDB or SQLite with RI turned off?
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

This is first time I realized it is Mongo and Mango.

I think they are trying to replace flat file data with this DB.
