We're not even allowed to do it in my community. I guess some consider it an

If you had the interest to check into it, I bet you'd find that the laundry
machine lobbyists had a behind the scenes hand in it.
No, it's a local rule passed by the homeowners association and applies just to
a few hundred homes here. If I cared enough, I'd hang laundry anyway.
Association rules are non-enforcable. They're more or less voluntary. But by
breaking them, you run the risk of upsetting your neighbors.

In some places you can be subject to civil suit for breaking association
rules.

Re: Semi OT: 64 bit Operating Systems and PhotoShop
Hi John, I used to run Vista Business with PS CS3 and now run Win 7 64 Professional with no problems for CS3. I get all 4 gig showing as available now. Get rid of Vista as soon as you can. Win 7 is much improved, though you may have problems finding drivers for some of your printers, scanners etc. Leon On 21 January 2010 07:12, John Sessoms jsessoms...@nc.rr.com wrote: Took my laptop in this morning and had 4GB RAM installed (up from 2GB).

The real irony is the Vista launch was far smoother than the XP launch, few seem to remember how bad that was because even broken XP was a major improvement over Windows Me. Windows 7 is actually the only smooth consumer OS launch Microsoft has had other than Windows 3.1, mostly because Windows 7 is merely a lightly tweaked variant of Vista which should more correctly be called Vista SE. -- M.

Re: Semi OT: 64 bit Operating Systems and PhotoShop
Actually, Win7 and Vista manage memory just about identically on high memory systems, Win7 simply switches to a different management algorithm on low-memory systems for improved performance while Vista (which predates the netbook's popularity) takes a serious hit due to its aversion to hitting swap. Vista is quite willing to give your apps memory as long as they ask for it, but it won't prefer apps over OS running at the same priority level. All that memory that Vista 'Grabs' is really just an avoidance of swap and the performance hit you take from using it, XP hit swap much harder as it was optimized for low-memory systems. This makes for a big speed boost on high-memory systems (over 2GB) for Vista or 7 vs XP, but worse performance on 1GB or smaller systems for Vista (7 works more like XP on low-memory systems). -Adam On Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 11:19 AM, John Mullan k...@hotmail.com wrote: One big difference in Windows 7 is the better use of memory.

Re: OT: Good bicycle panniers recommendations...
Hi Subash Myself and many of my friends have only good to report about the Ortlieb line of bike bags made of waterproof, ultrasonic welded truck tarp like material and equally waterproof roll n snap buckle lids. There are also light editions with thinner, equally waterproof but inevitably less wear resistant (under hard use that is, they are just fine for anything short of banging them about) as well as special editions such as one for Greenpeace and several made for various dealers. Our local Globetrotter has one such edition; they're bright orange with a small Globetrotter print - to see them point your browser to www.globetrotter.de and enter the search string _ ortlieb orange line _ the results are all 25 to 30 % cheaper than the non edition models. If you can't purchase them locally, I can get them for you (any version you like); I used to work for one supplier of Globetrotter so I get an additional 20 % off any item shown in their online shop - just say the word.

Re: SDM Failure
I would tend to take all of this with a grain of salt. Two paraphrase
Shakespeare making up words for Marc Antony, The good men do is
interred with them the evil is endlessly repeated. The fact is you hear
a lot about the horror stories, but if the majority of user experiences
reflected those stories, based on a cursory reading of the Canon related
boards, they'd be out of business. Pentax is a smaller company, and
it's become more difficult to find their equipment, so if you want
Pentax, and you went through the trouble, and the equipment then screws
up, you're more incensed. Yet in-spite of the difficulty in obtaining
our toys, and the smaller number of camera models available,
(Pentaximaging.com lists 8 different models right now, two of which are
made of unobtanium because they've been discontinued, and four of which
are color varistions of the K-x), compared to other manufactures, Pentax
still manages to sell a fair amount of equipment.

The rack may be more important than the panniers. If you don't get waterproof panniers you should probably make sure you use waterproof stuff sacs. See if you can borrow a rack and panniers off someone to try them out. Whatever you choose, make sure you do a decent shakedown ride before your big trip. I have a Tortec rack and Altura panniers, and they've been fine for the little bike tours I've done, but they have been very tame tours. I don't like cycling with panniers though - I prefer a saddlebag and I'm trying to develop a way of cutting down on the amount I carry so that I can get everything into a Carradice Super C and a decent bar bag for the camera and other necessaries. I'd recommend that you be utterly ruthless about what you take, reducing it to the absolute minimum.

Win7 is nothing more than Vista with ReadyBoost turned off and the
task bar broken. Very little real-world difference between the two,
mostly a rebranding to deal with the fallout of Vista's launch. The
real irony is the Vista launch was far smoother than the XP launch,
few seem to remember how bad that was because even broken XP was a
major improvement over Windows Me. Windows 7 is actually the only
smooth consumer OS launch Microsoft has had other than Windows 3.1,
mostly because Windows 7 is merely a lightly tweaked variant of Vista
which should more correctly be called Vista SE.
Win2K was a better OS from the start than XP. It's taken a long time to
get drivers for a lot of things, (I remember having to run my Printer
shared on a Win98 box because the Win2K driver refused to install on
Win2K).. The only thing that killed my last Win2K system was hardware
failure. I guess 2000 just didn't have enough eye candy for MS marketing.
