Abso-fucking-lutely. Especially all the assholes that pay with a check. It's 2008 douchebag, get a debit card already. If you absolutely have to pay with a check you better goddamn well have everything filled out except the amount before you get to the register and if you sit there balancing your checkbook I'm gonna come over there and shove your balance sheet down your throat. Just because you live in the 19th century doesn't mean I want to.
Tailgating is a symptom, not a cause. I'll tailgate but only if the person in front of me is going unnecessarily slow, or if I don't want to let someone in front of me. By unnecessarily slow I mean the guy is causing a rolling road block or is just stupid and going slow for no reason. Some people may tailgate all the time but I think that's a minority. I will tailgate if you piss me off but then you deserve it.
It failed with a BSOD? I'd believe it since it's a graphics driver but in that case you'd have a pretty good indication it was the driver and not the RAM since it was fine until you installed the new driver.
True CPUs overheat without a fan, but I'm not sure how that is related to your current situation except to prove that you're not taking very good care of your computers. It's also true you could get BSODs in Win98 with a bad IDE cable, 98 would BSOD if you sneezed at it wrong. XP however is much more forgiving of hardware failures and does not BSOD (that I've seen) from a bad HD.
If you don't believe me that your RAM is going that's fine, just trying to offer some helpful advice. Seems you have a variety of issues so maybe it really isn't your RAM. Either way the test disk is free other than the CD you have to burn it to and is very helpful with a lot more than just RAM testing, I highly suggest it.
I'm pretty sure that RAM contacts are gold plated and thus cannot corrode. At least not in a normal humidity environment.
What makes you think dirt is in there? Is this a computer in a highly sandy environment? Dirt does not gradually creep into RAM contacts unless there's dirt being blown into the case from outside. Dust sure, but not dirt and I've never had dust cause a BSOD. RAM can go bad gradually, it doesn't have to go bad all at once.
"dirt" in the hard drive connectors would not likely result in BSODs. File not found or failure to boot would be more common symptoms.
If your Windows XP system is BSOD-ing you're going to have to buy more RAM anyways. I've yet to see a BSOD in XP where the culprit wasn't a bad stick of RAM. Doesn't mean it this isn't the first time though so I would download The Ultimate Boot CD and run a few of the memory tests.
Did you feed the fish at the same time everyday? If so the fish might have been correlating human approaches + time of day = feeding. When your brother came up to the tank it was probably the wrong time of day.

How far can you send something for $0.41 via UPS or FedEx?
That's because they aren't in the letter delivering business, they deliver packages. Have you been to a post office lately? At least the DMV has chairs to sit on. It used to be a big deal when the post office raised the price of stamps. Now I can't get through a book of stamps before the price has gone up again.
4) DRM, blah blah. Good luck ever being able to rip those movies onto a media server.
It might be sooner than you think. Assuming Blu-ray can one day be cracked as easily as DVD's I don't really mind which format wins. I'd actually prefer the format with the most storage. Even if it never gets that easy it still only takes one person to do the hard work and the rest can just download it.
Windows Media Player on my Windows Mobile phone does this. Each song has a star rating that I can adjust on my phone while I'm listening to it that will be updated in the library the next time it's synced. It might not do the what, when and skipping statistics but only because MS hasn't decided they want it to do that yet.
Because a ridiculously complicated registry hack is required to enable the converters for the old documents, there's no easy way to apply it, for example as an Active Directory group policy. We're left with error-prone methods like push tools & login scripts. If it's a pure registry tweak then it can be applied using a GPO with a custom ADM file. Might be a bitch to create the ADM file but after that it would be as simple as any other GPO setting.

I'm sure that if MS dropped DRM support there would be an uprising the likes of which have not been seen since /. deleted the Scientology post.
Are you serious?

Yes because if theres one thing that absolutely, positively, without a shadow of a doubt always works in Linux it's the drivers.

Agreed. Reference: See Vista
Since when has Dell used proprietary power supplies??
60ghz does not go through walls very well if at all apparently. Better start laying that ethernet.
Why not? Some people are paying that for a regular USB cable.
I agree! This lamp is a menace to small children and frail geriatric patients everywhere. Won't someone think of the children?
It almost sounds like the RIAA lawyers are some of the women I've dated.

I'd have to agree, I've only seen XP bluescreen a handful of time and every time it was because of a bad stick of RAM.
