The more distant the target, the more you have to lead, and the greater chance there is of something happening between the time you pull the trigger and the time the bullet reaches its target zone: the wind may shift, the target may change speed, or direction...
Or your mother-in-law may step between the barrel and the target. Darn.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I am currently running XUbuntu in a VM on my XP Pro desktop. I just would like Windows 7 because it's pretty and I'm still superficial enough to be amused by that, even though I'll probably hate it after a week.
I have to use Windows at work and would love to upgrade to 7 when it comes out, mostly because I'm a sucker for "shiny new toys", but the key for me is running Linux in a VM so that I can at least get my Unix/Linux fix.

It would be hard, but we'd have to decapitate one of our greatest Presidents for the good of all.
This is true, I wasn't thinking of the back bones. Now I feel silly.
I mean, wouldn't that be like using a firehose as a straw? Tons of speed, but what could you actually do with it?
Tbps ethernet seems a bit early. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the average read on a SATA somewhere around 5 Gbps?
