Going Deep Inside Vista's Kernel Architecture
bariswheel wrote to mention an episode of 'Going Deep' on Channel 9 which takes a hard look at the architecture of Windows Vista. From the post: "Rob Short is the corporate vice president in charge of the team that architects the foundation of Windows Vista. This is a fascinating conversation with the kernel architecture team. It's our Christmas present to all of the Niners out there who've stuck with us day after day. This is a very candid interview." Topics discussed include the history of the Windows Registry, and the security/reliability of Microsoft's upcoming operating system.
My favorite is: "do you ever wish the registry had never been developed?"
Because I'm only interested if it was BALLS DEEP.
But that was the worst porn video I've ever seen. There wasn't even any nudity, but considering how these people looked (think your local linux user group visits The Gap), that was probably for the best. My rating? Totally Limp.
There is no word in the English language that can't be verbed.

}
Heh, my "confirm you're not a script" is "issues." Not surprising.
In the words of Calvin, verbing weirds language.
Why do I get the feeling this is the programmer's equivalent of that scene in the teen slasher movies where the girl is going into the dark basement, unarmed and with nothing but a flickering candle for light?
And the brethren went away edified.

You can retain someone else's. I have several on a string around my neck. They look like calamari.

Sorry, but what's an "american accent"?
I thought an accent was any difference in the way someone speaks compared to american english. If it sounds like american english, it's not an accent.
I'm from canada myself, but what I'm saying still applies, doesn't it ay?

Either that or you have no idea what a WMF is
It stands for weapon of mass fubaring.
Does a Christian soccer team even need a goalkeeper?
