Equal Height Columns with CSS

Ed Eliot discussion solutions for the problem with different-height floated divs.  Essentially has to do with setting padding-bottom:100% and margin-bottom:-100% (see also comments in this thread).

Activate only selected features while deploying a solution package in Visual Studio 2010

This article describes how to use this Visual Studio 2010 extension:  Mavention Activate Selected Features.

Had to use this when I updated my test site collection with content data that already had a feature activated (that created a field ID), causing this error:  "Error occurred in deployment of step ‘Activate Features’: the field with ID defined in feature was found in the current site collection or in a sub site."

Cannot create restore point on Windows 7 64-bit (SOLVED)

Disconnecting the multi-card reader from USB fixed it for me.

Background:

For the longest time I couldn't create a restore point manually.  It would timeout with an error. Seems like some Windows updates were able to create restore points, but some software (like VirtualBox) would hang on install because they couldn't create a restore point.

Some clues pointed to an issue with volumes that aren't really there.  Started suspecting the card reader.  This warning on Event viewer made me try disconnecting it:
