In Search of Everything All at Once

If you find yourself missing the hibernation feature in Vista, you can turn it on easily by running:

powercfg -h on

on the command prompt. You must run this command on an administrator-elevated prompt. To do this, right click on the command prompt icon and click "Run as Administrator".

If you recently updated your gems, you may see this nasty error:

can't activate rubyforge (= 0.4.5), already activated rubyforge-1.0.0]

or similar. If you do, the fix is simple. Simply run:

sudo gem uninstall -a rubyforge

Run the command twice just to be sure it's removed. Then run:

sudo gem install rubyforge

This will clear up the issue.

Vista has a nice user interface, and I'll have to admit the more I use it the more I have grown accustomed to it.

That said, you see silly dialogs like this sometimes and it just makes you wonder what in the world they were thinking:

Do I want to move, or copy? This dialog is very misleading. It's really asking me for my confirmation before performing a move or copy procedure. But it seems to be asking do I want to MOVE the files, or COPY them.

I got this dialog while copying files out of a ZIP file.

It would have taken a few more lines of code to make a second dialog, asking "Are you sure you wish to move..." and rename the first one to "Are you sure you wish to copy...", but that would have been time well spent in my opinion.
