I've never had to reboot my machine because of silverlight. Can you at least focus criticism on problems that actually exist? It's no more obtrusive than installing flash on your machine to watch youtube videos.
People are saying it offers nothing that youtube or other types of services offer, and yet I just watched the first lecture at the silverlight site, and thought it was pretty cool how there was 2 text commentaries from physicists you could have as an optional caption, and links to deeper information about certain people and topics he was discussing, that would appear as he was talking about them.
It's the first video I've watched with silverlight, and I didn't mind it at all. The extras it offered allowed me to get a better grasp on certain topics he was covering.
Wouldn't bookmarks be easier to use than a hundred tabs spread across 12 windows? That just seems like a very inefficient way to do things. Is bookmarking pages really that much of a hassle?
Then come up with a better idea of why galaxies move at the same rate on the outer edge that they do towards the center. That is what Dark Matter is all about, I'm not sure what Japanese cartoon series you're talking about but the idea from Dark Matter came from observations.
That doesn't change the fact that at the time of her outing she was, as has been told by the CIA themselves, covert.
Just because she was a desk jockey doesn't mean her status wasn't covert. She was overseeing a CIA front company called Brewster and Jennings, operating in Iran at the time of her outing. The facts are all out there.
I'll trust the CIA on this matter over you, and the CIA has said, in a court of law and in their own documentation, that she was covert at the time of the outing. She was a NOC agent.
Boy the right wingers don't like hearing the truth tonight. Troll rated, and now flamebait for correcting the record.
It's now flamebait to call someone out for making baseless claims?
An unclassified summary of outed CIA officer Valerie Plame's employment history at the spy agency, disclosed for the first time today in a court filing by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, indicates that Plame was "covert" when her name became public in July 2003.
The summary is part of an attachment to Fitzgerald's memorandum to the court supporting his recommendation that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's former top aide, spend 2-1/2 to 3 years in prison for obstructing the CIA leak investigation.
The nature of Plame's CIA employment never came up in Libby's perjury and obstruction of justice trial.
Well going by what George Broussard said in an interview last year; a WoW subscription is fairly cheap, so that's about $11,999,800 spent on "hookers and blow"
The fact is that Vista is NOT hampered by its DRM. To say it is, is complete and utter bullshit. I can play back ANY media file I have, and I have the added bonus of having the option to add a blu-ray player should i ever hit my head, and decide I want one.
Downrated to a troll for stating the facts? So be it.
Is that all you have? You seriously couldn't think of something more clever than that?
This is going to make your head explode, but XP loads up much faster than Ubuntu on this machine. About 10 seconds faster. Not that 10 seconds is a big deal, but you're the one that seems to think an OS should be judged on boot times.

LOL you beat me to it! I was hoping I wasn't the only one who made this connection. 80's horror movies FTW! :)
This thing reminds me of the blob creature in Creepshow 2's story, The Raft.
They're labeled "The Messenger Series" The title card that shows first says:
BBC TV, "The Law of Gravitation - An Example of Physical Law" Prof. Feynman, Program Body 11/9/64
It was shot at Cornell University and there are 7 lectures in total.

Which you haven't done.

Yeah troll rate the truth. It hurts.
The Center of Public Integrity broke the Clinton Lincoln Bedroom scandal.
Yep, they're clearly a left wing agitprop group...
At least try to come up with some better FUD.
Your facts are flat out wrong. Plame WAS a covert agent, and she has testified under oath that at the time of her outing she was covert...
Because companies like 3D Realms and God Games made it an L.A. Strippers Convention for a few years there.
Is it too much to ask that if you have issues with MS that you bring up the legitimate issues and leave the BS alone?
I've been using Vista for a awhile now, and my machine is up to date, and yet I don't have this addon.
The first 3d accelerated game I played was Quake 2 on a Matrox M3D PowerVR card.

And a copy of John Carpenter's They Live. After all, when they weren't stealing lines from Ash, they were stealing them from Nada.
So MS even gets bashed when they fix security problems. Amazing!
You win the prize for most obtuse anonymous coward of the day! Grats!
So now we just downrate things we disagree with?

Yeah this box will keep going and going. The only reason it's at 10 days is because a t-storm knocked out the power one evening.
