To be fair, they also looted Nazi gold. (Not all Nazi gold was former Jew gold)
The best way you can tell that the Swiss are reliable is that they've upheld the tradition of protecting the Catholic Pope - no matter how silly it seems to the rest of the world.
Wow... You actually have hardware with proper XP x64 driver support? You lucky bastard. I always felt like a fireman on my installation until I gave up. I kept going from problem to problem... Would probably have helped if I'd researched the HW before I purchased it, but damnit, I just expect stuff to work. How hard can it be recompiling drivers for 64 bit? (Note: If you can tell me empaler you fcuktard, it can be very hard, you can at least tell me why as well)
My father actually asked me to help out with his friend's PC yesterday but failed to disclose how old it was - I'd bought a Kubuntu DVD, only to find that it held more data than her hard drive could. She was sitting on a ca. 10 year old Win98 box with 2 gigs of HDD. I ended up cleaning the installation a bit instead. She didn't even have a DVD drive. (I'm making her a Xubuntu CD instead now)
At any rate, I'll agree though. My boss has been punking me to order a lappy for myself, and the Macbook Pros are just a smidgeon over budget - that's why I haven't ordered yet.
I used to have the same problem. After some heavy cleaning with Add/Remove Programs and msconfig I got those 5 minutes down to 2. Wheee. That was of course after I'd logged on, so I couldn't just turn the compy on.
I found out that one of the biggest sinners in my boot time speed was Windows Desktop Search (installed to use with MSOutlook, but set up for entire compy so I wouldn't have two tools scanning my compy (WDS+GDS)) Basically, my Fedora on a 8+ year old slow-as-hell hard drive has comparable boot speeds to my XPx64 - and the only thing dragging the Fedora down (right now) is the hard drive.
Except that puts God and the Big Bang into the same bucket, which isn't what we're going for. Why not? Neither is really proven, either would be nice to have a true answer to...
Det lyder ikke som en helt skidt idé når man tænker på at Regeringsmagten er på et grundlag af slanger og snoge. Tænk sig, jeg er ved at tabe troen på velfærdsstaten...
I had a similar experience with my Nforce firewall. I could surf fine, but when I tried to download stuff it'd kink the executables just so that they wouldn't work. Disabled the bastard after a friend with the same chipset told me that he'd had the same issues. Has worked without problems ever since.
I can only agree that Cooler Master gives you what you pay for - plus some nice little details you didn't expect. Silent, cold and cool. (Disclaimer: I can't remember what my tower cost, but I remember thinking it was a bargain)
I found the Socialist Democratic Party in Denmark to be too right-leaning for me. Quite annoying really, because they are the most left-leaning party that ever gets prime ministers elected here. (Well, at least in latter years)
Apart from the basic 2-year warranty, I usually by a 4 year insurance anyway - the risk of spilling coffee in a lappy is big enough, along with all the other crap it covers.
When I was a first line supporter in a place where Symantec habitually was a problem, I would usually say "Weeeerll, the Norton brand has produced some awesome products. In the 90s. However, I am not sure I would recommend renewing your subscription when that time comes. That is of course up to yourself."
That's what filters are for. IMAP is teh roxxorz but TANSTAAFL. Gmail is free, awesome, and has an insane amount of redundancy. I can't beat that by setting up a single IMAP server.
With a standalone PC, and email stored locally, or on a locally-controlled server, if the bloody net goes down, I can still access archived email, try that with gmail. POP3-clients are supported. Have your cake and eat it too. Mmmm. Sweet, sweet cake.

My boss insists on inkjet and cheap "compatible" ink. Woot.
Godsdamn. Even though I went anon it undid my moderations.
At any rate, What I meant was *INVEST*, obviously. You can't incest money. (or can you?)

Sw00t. 16 RAM slots FTW.

I'll provide the music... Always loved classical, and the 1812 overture is awesome.
Use Scroogle, the Google Scraper to find "anonym.os torrent" and you're all set. Always keep spare copies :)
He's the photographer? In that case, good for him.
Resume from Hibernate, probably, is what they're thinking of (where the RAM contents are hosed onto the HDD and the power completely cut off)
You are right about the speculation part, however, you misinterpret the disk type - not flash, but flash/platter hybrid .
That's why I'm happy to live in a country with consumer protection.

Hmm, I don't have speakers on this particular compy...
I'll venture a whirl.

You'd better be damned sure that the HW manufacturers support the devil, otherwise it's a bumpy ride. Even moreso than a normal Windows Experience.
First post to notice the trap. Kudos.
