Mercury has no magnetic field and the one around Mars is patchy and not nearly as strong as the on here on Earth.
Does that mean this would be better suited for terrestrial travel?
Its either that, or they realized that what they had already was not keeping customers coming back as people were moving to OSX and Linux which both sport different gui's and decided to try a gamble on going with a new appearance.

IE tab is still useful so that you do not even need to use IE to visit windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Then again if you just use the basic automatic updates on windows machines IE tab is completely worthless.
Oh they do, this is just their way of making sure that you payed enough depending on how much you earned that year, and sometimes they take out to much due to you not making the next tax bracket etc.. Yes, I can vouch for both.
If I had to guess, slim to none.
Audits tend to show that there is a problem, possibly where it is, but they don't tend to do things about them.

If I need a calender on XP (when I was using it) I would goto the adjust date/time. Thats a calander to the second. Now if you wanted scheduling I just used Google calander for that, its much nicer being able to check whats going on or add things from where ever I am.
Actually the button that opens the cd drive is stuck in such a way that it cannot be pressed at all.
The solution, removed the casing to both the xbox and cd-drive, and lift the cd cover to swap out games...
To most consumers that would be considered broken I guess.
This isn't because of not wanting to change, it's because Vista sucks that bad.
If it was because vista sucked, you'd be using XP instead. It's really because you're a linux advocate. Which is cool, I know kids today like to use linux on the desktop, but please be honest.
I use Ubuntu on my main box with XP Pro on all the others.
GP is using XP, finish reading the sentence first next time.
Another area in which Vista has found to be lacking is gaming Wasn't DX10 supposed to be this new big thing and there was to be loads of games made for it... where are they now?
Since you posted the letter I'll post what gabe wrote
Yesterday I made a post about the teenagers that murdered the homeless guy and then blamed it on violent games. These kids have given the media their angle and just like all the other cases where games are mentioned no one will ever look any further. No one will ask what their family life was like, what their parents were like, what the kid was like before all this happened. Games did it and that's the end of the story.
In my post I took the absolute extreme opposite approach. I laid blame completely on the parents and that was intentional. Penny Arcade is a satire site and people come here to laugh or get angry and that's what we try to provide. I will admit that deep down as the father of a two year old I also want to believe that I as a parent can shape my kid into a decent human being. If I don't believe that then...well I just have to believe that right now.
With that said I'm perfectly aware that the reality of the situation was somewhere between the two extremes. I know full well that violent games did not create this killer and I also know that his parents did not make him a murderer. Nothing outside of a comic strip and a goofy blog is ever that simple.
The sad truth is that the reality we're talking about here would probably never actually see the light of day. The media will tell the story they want to tell regardless and that story will be about violent games. The parents of these kids will be lucky to get two lines in an article about the crime. If they tell a reporter that their son hardly played games or that he was fucked up long before they bought a Playstation do you really think that will make it into the final article? You'd never see that side of the story, not in a million years.
But you're about to.
I am about to share with you an email I received from a Penny Arcade reader. She also happens to be involved in this case but obviously she'd like to remain anonymous. She has agreed to let me share her email with all of you and I can't thank her enough for that. Like I said before, I know why most people come to Penny Arcade. You come every other day looking for a joke and a laugh. What you're about to read isn't a joke. It's an extremely personal email sent by a very brave woman and I'm honored to share it with you.

So there you go. There's the other side of the story. He's decided to use videogames as a scapegoat because as crazy as he is, he's not stupid. He knows exactly what he's doing. The sad thing is that it will probably work.

I wouldn't know whats recommended, but I also have 512 MB (well minus the 8MB onboard video card) and if im trying to kill the fps on it, it won't drop below high 50's.
now if only my battery's max charge wasnt below 2/3 design capacity
so its half a Gib just for the OS now, thats at least double what you need to run *nix and do your everyday usage on there for most home users, and that is being generous a bit there. With the 512 unless you bash fork bomb yourself or something your not going to have any issues with ram.

Those bastards and their tinyurl links, you never can trust them.
It's not my fault that most of them link to CP and warez sites.
How about the excuse that you were using IE and it got hijacked and your machine was turned into another file host without your knowledge.

It is worth it in time, renewable resource and all.
no no, you have that all wrong, emo people get stuck in the corner, cant figure out how to get out, then start crying.
where does open source mean unpaid?
raw bacon, until after it scans.

This is /. where we know anything that is done once, is at least repeatable, and double posting isn't that far off
FAIL! (OT I know)
Isn't this why we use chroot for things like this?
surely you are not trying to imply that my av software is the target of a virus.

Isn't vista 64bit only?

Sure makes the PS3 look a whole lot cheaper when you use it as a computer (still not getting one).
