A lack of sleep caused me to overlook something minor that had a ripple effect throughout until I realized I had caused a huge (and potentially costly) problem for myself. Sleep is very productive. :)
If you click on the address area, it should shift to editable and let you do a drop down for a different address.

Click on the name itself. It turns the name into its own little window with an x, and there's a blinking cursor to the right for more typing.

Yes, thanks! I thought I tried that earlier. You're right: clicking on the recipient folds open the recipient as well as the from addresses. This is similar to the other hide-until-needed controls. Can't say it's very intuitive.

I panicked when I couldn't see how to change the subject line (or even see the subject line at all). I had assumed the dropdown arrow next to the TO field referred to, well, the TO field.

Same here. :-) I fail to see how this new design improves my workflow.

Repairing our water heater got me thinking about the concept of the "sealed" combustion chamber (the access door to the combustion chamber has a gasket around the door, view window and grommet for the gas lines) . How can it be completely sealed if there are vents for air supply to facilitate the combustion?
They're controlling the airflow around and to the burners to provide safe efficient combustion. Plus uncontrolled gust of air from door might blow out pilot light...
- WarLord
True, that pilot is just a tiny gas line, it probably won't take much to blow it out. I was concerned because I had to cut the grommet for the gas lines (new thermocouple didn't fit through the hole). But you have a point, it may be about controlling air flow.

Screen real estate doesn't mean anything to Google.
It is using Microsoft's Drive Extender. It is a layer that provides redundancy. The advantage over RAID is that if I theoretically mount all 4 drives in another machine I get all files twice (the original plus the redundant copy). Theoretically, it should be able to recover from a failed drive but it requires some steps in the right sequence.

:( Good luck! I hope it isn't too late a night.

Hehe, I turned the server off to prevent the clients from trying to back up to it. The same drive goes for $79.99 + $3.99 shipping on Newegg so I might just do that. Running Spinrite on it sounds nice in theory but since that may take days to complete I can't wait that long.

Repairing the water heater went faster than heating the entire tank again.
This happened to me on the second boot after installing Windows 8. It didn't go away. I dealt with it for 3 weeks, and then reformatted back to Vista.

One interesting thing is you can CTRL+ALT+DEL into the Task Manager and from there you can open programs and access the directories. It's like explorer just shits itself but the window manager remains operational.

This was the longest an update batch has ever taken. It must have been sitting like that for fifteen minutes or so (i7). Never occurred to me to try task manager! Probably couldn't have executed anything I needed though it may have completed loading all drivers at that point.

You know... If you send your friend over to my house to tell me that you think my horses look too skinny to your liking it would have been more convincing if you hadn't first come over while drunk, threatening to shoot my dog.
(It actually sounds rather comical the way she says it.) May she took warnings not to run on her socks a bit too serious? I just don't remember ever having said anything like this.

I've been sitting outside reading for a couple of hours in Vegas. Luckily it's way cooler than 30 here today :)

There is a cool breeze to make it all bearable, though. Wouldn't it be nice if you could freeze frame life for a few hours...

I like 28, because you can just turn it around and get the equivalent Fahrenheit value :)

We're supposed to be metric but more often than not people use imperial units. However, I just can't get used to kpa for pressure as opposed to psi.
