The trick is pretty simple, just move your eyes from left to right, then right to left, continuously.
It seems to relieve the traumatic pains, and is widely known. For example, Carlos Castaneda describes this trick in his books. No idea why it works, though !
Since beer is full of sugar, I doubt beer will help you slow down aging.
And about the french diet (I'm french), we are in better health not because we drink wine, but because we don't use corn syrup, and we don't drink sodas but mineral or tap water.
Also, eating vegetables is important, and in France, all ads about food contain some warning about eating 5 types of vegetables every day.
What is bad for our body is not fat or meat, it's SUGAR !
Frankly, I was a game developer (during 18 years !) and I will never touch XNA, even with a ten-foot pole.
There are several reasons:
1) being tied to XBox. Nowadays, you have to be able to port your game on all the consoles. You don't have the luxury to write a game for only one platform, and being forced to rewrite your code for the other ones.
2) C#. I now code a web application in VB.NET, and it's great for this kind of task. But if you want to write a game, it's doomed from the beginning if you work in C#. Sure, it's great to use, but how can you trust a garbage collected language during in game ? Slowdowns may appear anywhere during a game, and such bugs are impossible to reproduce.
3) XBox: XBox is perhaps a success in US, but in the rest of the world, it's largely unknown.
If you want to make money, think: Wii, PS3 then XBox 360.
You are right. The applications should be able to access their subfolders, but not other folders (WTF c:\windows ???).
About ACLs, I have an anecdot. I reinstalled my Vista computer, then realized that the original admin account was not correct, so I created another one and removed the original admin (which I used to install most of my programs). I ran then into lots of troubles, because the ACLs were completely broken, and most of the registry was unreachable from my new admin account. I had to run an obscure subinacl tool to fix this (and yes, I'm a developer).
ACLs and registry are basically screwed ! Everything became needlessly complicated.
Or better: scrap the registry ! How is it possible to access the whole registry from any application ? In IIS 7, Microsoft replaced the ADSI with XML files. Why not simply convert the registry to several XML files ? (one for CURRENT_USER, one for LOCAL_MACHINE, etc...) An XML in the application folder would solve so much problems !!!

The only difference is the unsigned type, which is unavailable in VB.Net.
The problem with this technology, and what Pandora or LastFm applied, is that the programs tend to choose always the same kind of music, and it's boring. When I listen to music, I like to have some variety, not always playing the same thing, again and again, in different forms.
I like listening to one genre, and then switch to another genre, and the programs are unable to provide that.
Frankly, do you believe that people will start programming on Windows platform, where there are plenty of tools ? This will just introduce them to the culture of piracy, since they won't have the money to buy software.
Oh yes, they'll be mono-cultured with Microsoft, and not Linux, so Microsoft wins.
At best, you can expect that they'll be formed to allow cheap outsourcing.
The problem with such technologies is that they require powerful computers, with plenty of RAM (and probably a fast video card), and a solid user base. Flash became what it is now because it's cross-platform, and everybody has Flash on his computer, because Youtube uses Flash.
Do you think a major Internet player will push Microsoft's technology, even if it was the best possible in the whole world ?
Microsoft has never been able to be successful except when closing the market, so it's doubtful that they'll be able to win in an open competition.
A company doesn't care about security, IT'S NOT A FAMILY (a lot of people mix the two concepts).
The top heads care about the money they can win from their products, not by the quality of the products themselves ! (Quality software is a bonus, since it helps keeping the distance from the competition).
They also care about BAD reputation (not good reputation !), so when a lot of bad reviews appear, they just try to show that they listen to their users, but in fact, they don't really care, since fixing the problems is expensive, and doesn't lead to more money.

Try Comodo 64 bits, it's free:

However, I had a problem on my XP 64, because my bandwidth slowed down a lot due to this program.
Not necessarily.
I think Google will remain neutral, but they will probably add some realtime election maps:
http://code.google.com/p/election-maps-2008/
http://code.google.com/p/primary-maps-2008-live/
(hint: only Google people working on that)
Such technique already exists, and is used for heavy trauma, like plane crash.

It seems that consuming a lot of sugar make you age faster. See for example: http://www.drlam.com/A3R_brief_in_doc_format/2001-No5-SugarandAging.cfm

Thanks for the link !

It's podometer, not pedometer !
Impossible: reinstalling Windows takes much more than 7 hours !
This is because I'm using AOL :-(
First post !
I've got an ubuntu CD ready for the day I just give up on Microsoft and their customer hunting practices.
Fixed for you.
Ok, we can now backup our memory.
But how do we restore it ?
Now, you understand why they want to buy Yahoo !
If the movie's bad, and people learn it before the weekend

I'm a little excited for Silverlight.
