UAC – Administrator

Full control

If you are overly confident about your skills, you might want to look at Greg Schultz's discussion on Administrator power.
”You should use the real Administrator account very sparingly - never make it your default modus operandi! Please note that you use this technique at your own risk.”

How Google Works

Backstage

Here's what's going on behind the scenes.
  • Googlebot, a web crawler that finds and fetches web pages.
  • The indexer that sorts every word on every page and stores the resulting index of words in a huge database.
  • The query processor, which compares your search query to the index and recommends the documents that it considers most relevant.

How to Spot a Gun

using a graph

Edward Tufte has this discussion about a graphic that shows how to spot a hidden firearm.
"Color is used to highlight how the gun moves and how the gun reveals itself, short visual noun-verb sentences that indicate the key signs that help detectives to spot someone carrying a hidden handgun. Thus the color usually has a distinct substantive point and is not just used to depict surfaces or to decorate the news."

Bracket Characters

Solutions

Certain special characters must be surrounded with brackets

"Microsoft Access does not restrict the use of special characters such as a number sign (#), a period (.), or a quotation mark (") in the database object names or in the database field names. However, if you do use the special characters, you may experience unexpected errors.
" To work around this problem, do not use special characters. If you must use special characters in query expressions, enclose the special characters in brackets ([]). For example, if you want to use the greater than sign (>), use [>]."
