One has to wonder why you find it necessary to voice your conservative opinions that aren't related to your job in the workplace. Could be that his coworkers are very vocal about their opinions. If it truly was a problem his bosses should be entitled to ask him to keep that stuff out of the work place, nothing more.
FWIW, AFAIR, it's only from the 64-bit flavour they removed the 16-bit support. A quick google search only comes up with pre-release forum posts with furrytooths asking each other about this...
Agh! Hadn't seen that you had, 19 minutes previous, stated this yourself. Sorry, but D2 is giving me problems. (For some reason, it refuses to show me all the posts in a given thread until I've hit 'More' a few times).
I do, religiously. It's still a pain to restore, but I have an external drive for that exact purpose. (Then again, that itself is an old Maxtor OneTouch, so maybe I should just kick myself now...)
Anyway, I think it might have had to do with my rEFIt installation, now that I think about it.
My 10.4.11 with Bootcamp froze for about five hours during the screen where the choice between your OSes comes up. It was just the grey background with neither hd icon showing. I thought everything was toast. Left for a while in despair and total frustration -- it wouldn't even go into OS X -- but it seemingly magically "worked itself out" after something like 5 hours. Strange. Anyway, installed Leopard immediately because Bootcamp was supposed to stop working when Leopard released anyway and my livelihood unfortunatley depends on using Windows every day on my machine. That sounds eerily like my Leopard installation. First attempt quickly told me that the hard drive was FUBAR, and needed a quick, swift format to be usable. I gasped and restarted without the DVD. Lo and behold, I couldn't boot! Aw. Well, insert DVD, start disk utility - but wait! It couldn't detect my hard drive at all now. Then only my Windows partition. I left it to go agonize in a dark corner like some goth child, but magically, when I came back, everything was all right! It had detected the HDD, it could mount and test and install completely without any further hitches! That was nerve wracking.

In an average week of work + home computing, I see maybe two or three UAC prompts the entire time, and I'm running with UAC on. That's three times more than are necessary. To be honest, my personal experience with Windows Vista is not one I cherish nor want to repeat, but 3 times a week? I think I do more than that that requires me to authenticate on both Mac OS and Fedora during a week. That is, of course, depending on what you are doing to your computer, but power users tinker, and it's a good thing that tinkering requires authentication if it is exploitable.
You need to lay off of the kool-aid and reconsider: where does the money go? The invasions under Dubya have been bleeding holes in the Federal reserve, and obviously, he does not want to be held accountable for where the money disappears to.
I've always viewed the U.N as a corrupt orginization and an enemy of the US. I'm sure many agree. Well the fact that Iran nearly passed a motion to censure Canada for human rights abuses seems to support your hypothesis that the structure of the UN is essentially broke. It's difficult to take that organization seriously. So it's a bad thing that Iran has the view that humans have rights? Remember, noone is inherently evil or inherently good. Everybody seeks to avoid suffering and seeks happiness. Just because some people do it differently than you does not make them evil.
You know, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger... Big Blue might make you stronger, but the Russian Federation isn't big on the making-people-stronger part of the equation.
Is not that article a dupe (http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/11/18/188235&from=rss) ?? Or don't our dear editors even read old articles in their dispair of bashing Vista? The article you claim to have been duped is differently focused, isn't focusing negatively on Vista. In fact TFS mentions a vast improvement in boot time on the test rig. I know they didn't write "WE HEART VISTA", but that's hardly Vista-bashing.
In our university we have now completed the upgrate of 25 computer classrooms (35 computer each) from XP to Vista. At the moment, there havebeen no major problems. yes, the system has some problems and child diseases (like Abbles leopard) but that's just natural. Vista is a big step forwars security wise and it will get more and more polished with time. Good for you. In all likelihood the systems are similarly configured, in which case it'd be either "they all have the same problem" or not. The upshot of the new Vista installer, from what I've heard, is that spinning your own slipstreamed, customized install discs is no longer a giant hassle. I don't see how SP1 (1 year to release after OS (keeping our fingers crossed)) compares to Apple OS X 10.5.1 (1 month to release after OS). Hint: b and p might look similar, but they're really different letters. So different in fact, that you come off as a troll.
But hey, please feel free to continue bashing... I don't want to spoil the party for you. Me? I'll continue using it.
Good for you. Your computer is a tool, and you should use the toolset that suits your needs and tastes best. If you feel that your best toolset requires Vista, then by all means go ahead.
Yes but they have specifically release this as a release candidate so that excuse is moot. You're forgetting that it's MS - RC = Beta, Beta = Alpha, Alpha=WinFS
I like that, but I know it's not what Lucas intended. I'm just glad he didn't explore something like genetic engineering or "juicing" with midi-chlorian injections to make some sort of Super-sith.
That's because it's a Firefox start page. That means that the co-branding agreement was probably that it should have X but not Y. It's not a Google page, it's a Google/Mozilla-page.

There's also alternatives to the 8/16-hour sleep cycle, but they're just not viable to the general populace. It's the choices of those people.
One of the rare instances of a good Soviet joke, and the mods miss it. Hah!
(You could say *I* missed it too, as I don't have mod points today)

Isn't it the other way around?
I've had QT crash my Ffx dozens of times, but never any problems with QT crashing IE. Which seems backward to me...
I believe BlueMerle intended to counter-straw gentlemen_loser's straw man.
I love my capless 10/10 pipe. M4 ph4t p1p3, as I call it. I could have a 20/20, but that'd just seem so wasteful.

Your post reminds me of a game designer who has a bad habit of mouthing off features that never surface, too.
I can forgive him though, because if he made better games for Bullfrog, I'd probably never have gotten laid.

... so, you bought a pack of used disks from the store? Did you return and complain or did you just keep your loot? :-)
TROLL?!
Jesus, whatever that mod was on, I want some. IT WAS A LINK! GET OVER IT!

I'd be happy to kick them out, shut it down, and have a world body consisting only of democracies.
The the U.S. would still be unwelcome.

Consider, for a moment, a similar strategy for a top incumbent Republican. I don't believe for a second he is as stupid as put up in the press.
