    There were two different buildings where these products were stocked for retail release. My box looks like this. (picture of cereal number/folder directory for debug/and version).

    How will this affect progress in the Singularity? I just remember doing "d" to get quick hexdumps. But that wasn't Singularity-related.

    Oh really? And what is better? Linux/UNIX will make you a neck bearded permavirgin. No one wants that. OSX will make you a sack of shit pseudo-hipster like Cory Doctorow. Seriously, what OS do you suggest?

    I stick with WinXP. Not because of any technical superiority bullshit but because it can do what I need it to and there are no faggy fanboi associations.

    Win7 is Vista SP2, like to re-phrase that?

    Windows 7 is actually "Vista" in its finished form.

    You might think I'm being funny or sarcastic, but it's true ;)
