starting from command line, get:
waiting for write add-in database lock

My solution:
find and remove
~/.local/share/gnome-do/plugins/addin-db-001/fdb-lock

Can't install Virtualbox Guest Additions

About ready to yell as I can't install 3.1.4 guest additions in VirtualBox XP guest. http://forums.techguy.org/windows-xp/235959-cannot-find-file-specified-during.html fixed it for me.
Problem: installation failed/file not found

Short short: RunOnce was removed in the registry as a key.

Kyocera Mita or other copiers SMB connect failed because of case sensitivity

I had a problem where SMB connection failed miserably. Well, two problems concurrently.
1) Slow resolution to domain name (solution: fix dns)
2) Connection failed immediately. I knew it should have worked. KNEW it. But it was case sensitive for the path and therefore failed.

Computer sluggish? Check your path

After decommissioning a server, it was found that certain machines were DOG slow. This apparently was because an app changed the PATH variable to point to a directory structure on the now defunct server. To fix this, the best way is to go to Windows System Properties, advanced, Environment variables, Path and remove the errant directory structure.

This may very well affect other pieces of software, such as your antivirus program on startup.

Obama will not defend the US Constitution. He will Destroy it.

Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Obama and the Democrats will enact the Fairness Doctrine which will severely curtail opposition media on the radio.

Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Obama wants to keep individuals (the people) away from owning guns. He does seem to want to have a civilian militia but I guess if you're not a part of it, you don't get to keep your gun.

Amendment 4 - Search and Seizure. Ratified 12/15/1791.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The PATRIOT Act is not likely to be repealed.

Amendment 5 - Trial and Punishment, Compensation for Takings. Ratified 12/15/1791.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Obama wants to take more taxes. And abortion is deprivation of life. Care to compensate for an aborted baby?

Amendment 9 - Construction of Constitution. Ratified 12/15/1791.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Obama believes that those rights not enumerated by the Constitution can be assumed by the federal government.

Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Obama believes that abortion "Freedom of Choice Act" is something that must be decreed on a federal level. Unfortunately, it isn't up to the federal government.

Nobody ever became skinny drinking a diet drink

Diet drinks are bunk. If one is likely to lose weight or not gain it, it comes by the standard methods of eating less calories than you use, and excercise.

Come to think of it, you're about as likely to shave those pounds drinking diet drinks as you would clipping coupons to become a millionaire.
