Even if the computers were such, it's more than likely the software as the culprit. But, hey, why let facts cloud narrative. You're as bad as Hollywood!

mio amico (I would have said 'mi amici'), its only just begun - Im in bella Toscana with my father this week, next week we are cycling from Venezia to Firenze

Wonderful, have a good time here in Italy!
Where are you going to stay in Tuscany?
Form Venezia to Firenze is a bit long ride, how many kilometers per day are you going to cycle?

In Toscana, We are using place in Montieri 'Rifugio Prategiano' - we had a booking for here 3 years ago and had to cancel at the last minute as my mother needed a stomach rebuild - but they kept our deposit saying we could use it 'next time' - so, here we are, except then they grudgingly let us use the deposit because this stay isn't as long as we had planned to last time, nor does it involve bikes like we were going to use 3 years ago (the revised trip & cycling component this time has the Venice-Florence cycle trip in it) - as far as Im concerned, they can bite me about the deposit
So, Venezia -> Firenze
Day 1 : 35km, Venice - Chiogga
Day 2 : 45km, Chiogga - Adria
Day 3 : 45km, Adria - Comacchio
Day 4 : 65km, Comacchio - Ravenna
Day 5 : 55km, Ravenna - Brisighella
Day 6 : 35km, Brisighella - Firenze
==================
280km
after this, I chaperone a friend for week in Paris, before cycling in 2 weeks Provence, incl Mt Ventoux, then have 8 days cycling in the UK, then a slack week not cycling - working, in Germany

Wow, we have to ride together somewhere, someday!

Fished all week and had a great time but left a couple of days early because I dropped my camera in the water and need to send it in to Nikon. Lesson learned, even though I didn't take it out in the boat don't ever take the camera on fishing trip again, don't ever take camera out on fishing trip again, don't ever...

That's why I have two cameras, the cheaper one is watertight to 5 meters.

I've got a cheaper one, it's not waterproof but I wouldn't mind losing it as compared to repairing my D7000.

Lesson learned -- use a lanyard (attached to the camera, of course, with the lanyard around your neck, of course) when holding expensive equipment over water, long falls, etc.
On occasion, I wish my cell phone had a cylinder I could string a lanyard through.

The problem is I layed it on one of the slats on the pontoon and someone drove up with a boat wanting to get in and I forgot about it and when I moved the boat it went kerplunk. My own damn fault but expensive lesson learned.

I have VS2012 and I went here[^] to download MVC 5 this morning, and the file names look kinda strange:
MVC4VS2010.EXE <<--- Why would the download for MVC5 be named this? (this is the file that's downloaded from the green "download free" button)
WebNode11Pack.EXE <<---- WTF is that? That's doesn't follow the standard MS naming convention. (this is the "install MVC 5 for Visual Studio 2012" link under the button)
Comments?

Because the MSDN front-line grunt assigned to create file-names when not mopping the floors is dyslexic and thinks in index-by-zero ?

That's not even close to the url I posted (and i got an error when I tried to browse to it).

That's weird...it worked for me...maybe there's a conspiracy against you
I'm in Canada...maybe they want us to use different stuff than the U.S.?...maybe it's regionalized?
Update: Now it's not working for me either...so the conspiracy isn't just against you...

I urgently need to learn to weld just a little bit. I am trying to replace my bike's clutch friction plates, but one bolt on the pressure plate has refused for days to loosen, and is now slightly rounded. I tried cutting a slot in it for a screwdriver, but the bolt head is recessed, so the slot isn't deep enough. It is only an M6, so it won't be too easy to use an easy-out on. I have one, but it tapers up to about 4mm, so if something there goes wrong I'm up sh*t creek. Someone suggested welding a steel rod to the head and turning it loose with that, and that makes quite good sense to me; a weld will never slip.
Thing is, I have never welded before. I know the basic theory, how to strike an arc, maintain a pool while wealding along a line etc. but have never tried. Never had a welder before.
To weld to the bolt head I will probably just have to strike an arc and hold it for a second.
What advice can any experienced welders here please give me for this, and NB stuff to practice a little bit before trying?

I don't weld - but I've seen enough people do it to know it ain't that simple! There is some real skill involved here, and if you get it wrong you can make the situation worse, not better.
This is a bike - so the chances are that the bolt is not steel, it's aluminium alloy - which will have a different melting point to the steel, so it may be harder to weld than you think particularly if the head is recessed.
Have you tried tightening all the other bolts and using an impact driver? Or do you know anyone who can weld, you can run you through it?

It's a steel bolt, and I'm too broke to bribe anyone to travel all the way to my house and help.

So how much is a new clutch basket, if you really muck it up?
Seriously - how much? It may be cheaper to just say "to heck with it", drill the head off the bolt and replace the basket if you can't get the remains out later. Clutch baskets have to be spot on - or the pressures won't be even, and the clutch will either drag or slip - and extreme localized heating is a good way to warp things.

Drilling the head off won't mean replacing the basket. Maybe a good idea, then I can work on the bolt shaft, maybe bend it and get a better turning grip on it.
