After NoteStudio folded, I was lost until I found Evernote. Being able to link notes together, wiki-style, is a signifiant feature that's lost in many note-taking apps, at least the ones I was looking at when we lost NoteStudio. Maybe I'll look at OneNote again. It was a dog when I last used it: Too complicated and slow.
I'm the guy who stripped during a TSA screening in 2012 at Portland Airport. I've had no trouble flying since then. Maybe it's because I took action against them them directly.
Here's a link to the slashdot story back then: http://idle.slashdot.org/story...
Story update, for those who are interested:
I was quickly acquitted on the criminal charges of indecent exposure. The judge said, "What else would it be (other than protest)?" to the DA who had no case. The civil case, which the TSA took 2.5 years to decide, continues. I'm appealing their decision that I "interfered with the screening process" to the 9th Circuit Court. I've learned a lot during this process, but that's another story.

I *am* a regular reader of slashdot. Nudity is protected speech in Oregon. It's in the state law. As long as it's not sexual, I can be naked, especially as a form of protest.
I work in high tech, and co-workers and on up the ladder have expressed only support and heart-felt concern for my well-being. There's a legal defense fund being set up by friends, though it's not clear it will be necessary. My dad's in his mid-70s. He's how he is. His heart is in the right place. My family's been great.

My general response in reading the thread at a count of 410.
*Disorderly conduct charges have already been dropped.
*Being naked has nothing to do with sexually harassing anyone. There was nothing sexy or arousing about what I did. My intent was protest, and was in no way sexual.
*I believe I would not have been arrested if I had put my clothes back on.
*According the the Port Authority in Portland, local laws apply at the airport.

Momentus XT is not an enterprise drive.
I have a 500GB Momentus XT in my MBPro. It gives me a (relatively) inexpensive speed bump with the best of both worlds. I have the capacity I need with the platters and the speed from the solid state. The built-in logic seems to know what I use the most and keeps things fast. All for a fair price.
I've lost music because of DRM. Not sure where it went, but I can't get it back because MusicMatch (now Yahoo!something) and Apple can say, "Yup. You bought this, but we won't let you download it again." Anything on a CD, I can get back, as long as there's room in the basement. I want to own the music and make a one-time purchase.
Am I the only one that thinks that slow downs are built in to Windows? Run it for a while then get strange, unexplained, noticeable slow down.
Millions of customers say, "When was the last time I formatted my HD and reinstalled Windows? Boy. That was a lot of work (or cost a lot of money). Maybe I should get the new version (98, ME, XP, Vista, 7, etc...) If I'm going to do that, I should just get a new system."
With a sales strategy built into the software, everyone who stands to make a profit wins...unless customers get stubborn and find the problem.
I have not read all the comments, but past the basic diagnostics, I look for something that's caught in a loop, usually trying to install. msconfig can sometimes reveal it.
HP software? Uninstall and reinstall. Or just uninstall and throw the printer off a bridge.
Talk to any average mom 'n dad and they'll say "Things that used to work fine on our computer aren't working any more, I guess it's just time to buy a new computer."
That's what I see with my clients. It's cheaper and easier to just buy a new computer. As most of us know, the average XP user doesn't need a new computer. But Microsoft needs sales. Screw up the old one so that people will buy the new one? Doesn't work for me.
I'm switching to Mac and skipping the Vista of today.

If this is the reason that Comcast modems broadcast xfinitywifi, this will fail just as anything relying on xfinitywifi does.

As long as you don't need customer service from Panasonic...

'twasn't much, but I had hoped for Ubiquity everywhere, not just he browser. It needs to be an OS add-on.
