Something to remember: escaping entities (e.g. when you have table or field names that are the same as reserved words) is possible using square brackets
Some examples:
CREATE TABLE [User] ... SELECT * FROM [User]
I had to use this while renaming logical names, which had a dot in their name.
In VMware ESXi 4.1, by default, the video drivers are not correctly installed. This is because of the fact that the old driver (which is installed by default) is a WDM type of driver. This type of driver has been kicked out of Windows 7 and Windows 2008R2 in favour of the newer WDDM driver architecture. As a result, the video is reverted to the Standard VGA adapter, which has terrible performance.
However, installing the VMware Tools does provide a correct driver, even though it is not installed by default. To install it, see the second chapter of the article: Windows 2008 R2 console freezes in vSphere console.
While not officially supported, it is possible to have Adobe Flash on your Android 2.1 (Eclair) device.
You can do so by downloading and installing the package included in this post. Note that you will have to have third party applications allowance enabled so that you can install it. Possibly, on some devices, you have to install Apps Installer to install the package.
Flash player works, but because of missing components in 2.1, there are some performance issues.
One of the neat things about OpenOffice is the many extensions available. Oracle has a PDF import extension for OpenOffice Draw, which can import just about any unsecured PDF document.
Download link: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport?intcmp=1549
This allows you to open PDF documents directly from the menu. There are still a few quirks now and then, but they don't spoil the usefulness of the extension.
Windows 7 and Windows 2008R2 Service Pack 1 has been released.
It is available through Windows Update, but for those that require the full installer, can find it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=c3202ce6-4056-4059-8a1b-3a9b77cdfdda&displaylang=en.
Since Acrobat Reader X, by default, no toolbar is shown while in Read Mode display. Instead, a heads-up black toolbar with minimalistic functions is used. This is the default behaviour but can be turned off.
To do that, open Reader, choose Edit, then Preferences. In the tab Internet, uncheck Display in Read Mode by default, then press OK.
Because the official website of 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) is currently offline, I'm mirroring the latest version here.
EDIT: the official site has been fixed and is online again.
For an easy to use disk erasing tool: http://www.dban.org/.
It's pretty important when you retire your old computer that you securely delete the contents of your hard disk. Even with a regular format, it is still possible to retrieve a lot of data from the disk. DBAN can help you with that.
By default, there's no ODBC driver available on 64-bit Windows systems for Access and Foxpro. This is because they only are native 32-bit at the moment. There are a few workarounds present, but the easiest would be to stick with 32-bit if you need this.

More information about the search at Belgacom: it took place last wednesday (Oct 14), after a complaint of Mobistar and KPN at the Raad voor Mededinging (a counsil which keeps an eye on companies keeping to Belgian competition laws).
The investigation is about the wholesale services of DSL where Belgacom alledgedly would have invoked obstruction measurements.
The search is only a step in the whole investigation, without actual accusations. The entire procedure could take several years before completion.
