올 겨울은 눈도 많았고 예전에 비해 유난히도 추웠습니다.

 

유투브(YouTube)에 재미있는 동영상이 있어서 소개합니다.

캐나다 노스웨스트주(州)의 옐로나이프(Yellowknife)에서 촬영된 동영상입니다.

 

영하 30도에서 끓는 물을 공중으로 분사하여 안개가 만들어지는 모습입니다.

윈도우7 SP1 자동 업데이트 차단 방법

윈도우7 서비스팩(Service Pack) 1 최종(Final) 버전이 2월2째주 경에 나올 예정이라고 합니다. 이와 동시에 윈도우7의 윈도우 업데이트(Windows Update)를 통해서도 서비스팩 1으로 업데이트가 가능하게 됩니다.

 

일반 사용자 환경에서 충분한 테스트가 거쳐졌으나, 특정 사용자만 사용중인 특정 소프트웨어와의 호환성 문제가 검증되지 않은 상태에서는 당분간 서비스팩 1으로의 자동 업데이트를 보류하는 것이 안전할 수 있습니다.

 

마이크로소프트가 배포하는 Windows Service Pack Blocker Toolkit을 사용하면, 서비스팩 배포 후 1년 동안은 윈도우 업데이트에서 서비스팩 1으로 자동 업데이트 되는 것을 차단할 수 있습니다.

 

단, 사용자가 서비스팩 1을 수동으로 설치하는 것(CD/DVD 또는 Setup.exe 개별 실행)은 차단하지 않습니다.
