this is the second of the two, the one that was apparently being used for 'official correspondence', and not the other more public/visible one.

On that google page you linked is a 'Safe Browsing Diagnostic Page' link which goes into further detail about why Google has flagged it. It looks like the site itself does not directly host malware, but, acts as an intermediary. Guessing here, but, looks like whoever they are using for ads are occasionally serving up 'badware'. Use adblock and noscript and stuff like that and you should be OK.

After actually inspecting the money in person and hearing the backstory behind the loan from my mom just now, I don't think the money is counterfeit. I went through it all with a magnifying glass (that microprinting is so damn small!).

It sounds like chuckdarwin has a key already and just needs the media to reinstall from.
You can get just the replacement media (if that's all you need) from Microsoft, but, it's possible that your office key is an OEM key and might not work with the retail/replacement media anyway.

Just googling around, I found this:Taking Prilosec OTC beyond 14 days is not recommended, perhaps because in Prilosec's early research its long-term use in rats produced increased rates of gastrointestinal cancers. You won't read about this in the Prilosec OTC label, but it is contained in the prescription Prilosec package insert and the Physicians' Desk Reference.from here.

Probably something you would want to discuss with your doctor.... [more]

People are saying that the Xbox 360 version runs at a slightly higher resolution (720p vs the PS3 630p). This doesn't seem to be apparent in the end visuals, however.It is apparent when playing at 720p, as the PS3 version is a little blurrier as it needs to be rescaled from 630p to 720p, and the x360 is a little sharper at 720p, as it's at the native resolution. As to which is more visually pleasing though that's pretty much left to individual preference.... [more]

Being able to view it in VLC is not an actual indication that the xvid codec is actually installed, as the file could still be decoded via something like ffdshow, and not xvid.

I think he's looking for the "Baked Doritos" variation of Doritos. Here's a link to a product description and image of the product he wants. A search online so far hasn't turned up any place to buy it though, and, Frito-Lay's website doesn't even list it anymore. Sorry. :(

When does the computer complain about the keyboard? Is this just a "no keyboard detected - press f1 to continue" that the system is balking at? You might be able to disable that error in the bios, if that's what's causing the problem. I can't think of any other reason why the computer would complain about it.

Doing that will add a new option to the right click menu, so it would become right click -> click, rather than whatever you're doing now.

You don't need to edit the registry for this, as Windows provides an interface for you to do it. Control Panel -> Folder Options -> File Types

Why anyone would recommend making registry edits over using the built-in interface for something to anyone is beyond me.

There are some ultra-rare blood types such as Bombay blood that would probably be interesting in this regard. People with Bombay blood can only recieve blood from donors with Bombay blood, and no one else, and, in the case of a medical emergency where blood was needed, there'd only be a very small number of people that could provide it. I'm not sure if money is any factor in this, but, given the scarcity of these rare blood types, urgency in medical situations may play a factor, if he only... [more]

CMV assays are part of the standard screening for non-directed blood donation (donations not specified for a particular patient) in the U.S. CMV-negative donations are then earmarked for transfusion to infants or immunocompromised patients. Some blood donation centers maintain lists of donors whose blood is CMV negative due to special demands. [wikipedia]
