Actually, there are links to two bugzilla issues in that link of yours that explain how they intend to do it (I won't link them here so /. doesn't drive bugzilla down).

It appears they intend to create a Windows service that runs as Administrator that will perform the updates, thus bypassing UAC.

Sure. Just try owning a house and raising a family on one salary like your parents did.

I am, thanks! Mortgage, 4 kids, one salary well below the median for our town -- and debt free other than the mortgage.

You can still make it work, and I'd say you can be as or more comfortable than your parents were thanks to technological, medical, municipal, and other life improvements.

No, you can't have two iPhones with data plans, an HD DVR cable subscription, a house you can't afford, and two car payments. But comfortable and raising a family on one salary? Quite possible.

I remember a year or two ago, it was a colder-than-normal year, and of course there was a global-warming Slashdot story about it.

Many were quick to laugh at those using this colder year as evidence against global warming, shouting "Weather isn't climate, stupid!".

Oh wait, this year supports the popular side, I'm supposed to be quiet. Nevermind -- plow on, hivemind!

Yeah, I forgot -- the way it works is that the LICENSE.txt is automatically included when the module is packaged by the system -- that's why module authors shouldn't include it themselves.

But way to take any opportunity to rag on Drupal -- seems to be the thing to do around here. :)

I realize this is for high school, but get them started on dual monitors early if possible. The expense isn't bad, especially since monitors usually out-last the computers two-fold or more.

We have dual monitors in our computer labs in our engineering labs, and our students always flock to our labs over the single-monitor ones the general university provides.

At the very bottom of this page it mentions fantastic news: the removal of the 31 style sheets limit!

In Internet Explorer 9 and earlier, there is a limit of 31 style sheets per webpage. There is also a nesting limit of four levels deep for style sheets that are linked using @import rules.

In IE10 Platform Preview, this limit has been removed.
