Firefox下Live ID登录问题

Live Messenger我更新成8.5,自动给安装了Live Sign-in Assistant。用IE时可以自动登录Passport,挺方便。但在Firefox下发现需要两次密码才能登录。第一次总是提示说错误(我确认密码是对的)。Google也检索不到答案。
我第一感觉是否中木马了。对机器进行了仔细的检查,应该不是。
所以这里报告一下,有人有类似的问题吗?

这里没有假期

春晚看起来又是一片歌舞升平,皆大欢喜。前面瞅了一眼那个军嫂的小品,决定不再看了
这里冷冷清清的,老板也不给放假,得照样上班。
祝大家节日快乐

一个可怜的家伙买XP盗版可能面临deportation

看到报道,34岁的克罗拉多大学工程系的博士生因为将学校的XP专业版向外面出售,面临指控,可能会被驱逐出境。
据他自己说因为将要有孩子家庭经济太过拮据。
网易上有中文报道,但翻译的很糟糕。
比如,将当事人Yan(颜?)翻译成杨;199的价格并非他出售的价格,只是每个有序列号的标签价值199;等。

Stuck when updating ArcGIS 9.2 sdk for .net sp4

When I install ArcGIS 9.2 developer SDK for .net framework 2.0 SP4, it will be stuck with time remaining 0 sec. So strange. It turns out to be caused by VC# express edition. A trick is to remove VCExpress process in Task Manager, thanks to contribution from ESRI forum posting. The installation will then continue.

Stupid ESRI.

Every tool is empty in ArcToolbox 9.2

I met a problem when I were running a routine in Command Line Window.
It closed the ArcMap. After then when I open ArcToolbox, everything gets empty.
See attached pic.

Many effort to figure it out by looking through Internet. Solution is rather simple.
Go to the register, navigate to ESRI fold under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software
then rename ESRI to ESRI_old. (Actually you can delete it safely.)

Now they get back.
