In struggling to get VMWare vSphere Infrastructure Client to work on my fresh Windows 7 installation, I came across the following instructions, which solved the problem for me:

This weekend, I had the need to format an 80GB USB drive as FAT32, so that the DivX AVI files on it would play on a standalone HDD recorder. To my dismay, Windows XP wouldn’t format the drive as FAT32, since it was larger than the 32GB “limit”.

I was an Audible subscriber for over 2 years, and although I’m no longer active on a plan, I still have 50+ books that I’ve legitimately purchased.

[sourcecode language=sql]
WordPress database error Can’t find FULLTEXT index matching the column list for query SELECT ID, post_title, post_content,MATCH (post_name, post_content) AGAINST (‘feed funkypenguin’) AS score FROM wp_posts WHERE MATCH (post_name, post_content) AGAINST (‘feed funkypenguin’) AND post_date
