Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Can't hurt to try it and see, you can turn it back on afterwards if you like.

What anti-virus or other security software is running? Is it set to check files before write operations? That can sometimes restrict allowed write locations as well.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

In mine it looks like there's not much access granted by default to Program Files in particular. What is it you're trying to write there? Are you able to save stuff to other folders, like your document folders under your user, etc.?

I have AVG anti-virus running.

I just save programs there, like, AVG or VLC. i can save things to other folders with no problem. i'll try turning the UAC off completely the next time i want to save something to the Progam File and see if that does the trick. i think i had to do the same thing with Vista.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This is barely a technical issue, but when I post animated GIFs to tumblr using their "photo" option, the animation is killed. What am I doing wrong?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Just a guess--are you sure they allow animated GIFs?

Also, if an animated GIF isn't animated after you upload it, that means they must have some software that turns off the animation in the GIF, right?

Is your animaged GIF set to animate indefinitely?

I'm guessing you don't spend much time on tumblr...place is full of them. I just don't know how everyone else is accomplishing it. Remote hosting?

And, yeah, it was a forever GIF.

Nope.

It's very pretty.

In places.

And ridiculously addictive.

Remote hosting?

Could be. It's easy enough to check a few page sources.

No, the first one I found was tumblr hosted. I don't get it.
