Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The requirements for the actual BSA Computers badge include:
8. Is it permissible to accept a free copy of a computer game or program from a friend? Why or why not?
I want to know if "Duh - all my software is open source!" is an official BSA acceptable answer. (or, really, I probably don't...)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I can no longer click on File in any folder window or in Windows Explorer, nor can I right-click on the folders or the Windows desktop.
Connie, have you tried rebooting the machine yet? I've never had that exact problem, but once in a while I've seen similar weirdness that vanished upon restarting.

Multiple times. This has been going on for a couple of days, and I don't leave it on all the time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I forget if there are folks here who use SQL Server / Enterprise Manager....
Anyway, I gotta create this huge script (based on our development database) to create a bunch of tables, views, stored procedures, etc. The problem is that when the script is run on our client's servers, it errors whenever it encounters a view or stored procedure that uses a view that has not been created yet. As a result, we spend hours rearranging the order that things get created to prevent this.
Is there a better way?

Have you tried a system restore? Run msconfig, and pick a restore point from before the trouble started happening.

Coding and Sleeping
It's Ubuntu.
By the way, I use Ubuntu at home exclusively so if you have any questions I might be able to help.
I wish I knew something about the Windows problem, but I can't think what might be causing it. I would hesitate going back to Win98 though. Microsoft has dropped support and IME it is much less stable than XP. One of the kids computers has Win98 (I have a legal copy of Win98 for it, but not XP so Win98 it is) and it is no end of trouble. The Win XP computers never seem to have any troubles.
