Tom's Hardware is running a 500 hour Windows Vista review that spreads out 40 pages
Another Tom's Hard-On review with two paragraphs per page that stretches out to 40 pages is supposed to be thorough because it is long?
You think MAYBE it has something to do with the thick coating of ads all over TH's pages? I mean, they could have put it all on two pages or even one if they'd wanted.
Is somebody at Tom's paying you guys to post these dupes about hard-to-read articles that add little insight to the pool of knowledge about Vista?
The conditions we currently think led to abiogenesis (the pre-evolutionary formation of life) weren't cataclysmic, they were merely improbably chemical reactions that might have arisen on the primordial earth
Captain Copyright was arrested today but Federal Authorities on counterfeiting charges. In an ironic turn of events, the former crusader for corporate intellectual property rights was caught red-handed making counterfeit $20.00 bills with a laser printer, an iron, and a hair dryer.
When asked, friends were solemn about Copyright's descent into ruin. "He was such a nice guy until the RIAA stopped sending checks", notes once close friend Hayla Bullets. "Then, he just started drinking, grumbling a lot, and working in his machine shop.
Attorneys for Mr. Copyright could not be reached for comment.
The real need for research remains nondairy cheese. While there are now excellent vegan alternatives for most everything, milk, ice cream, hot dogs, etc., cheese is really tough to get right.

SanDisk is the second most popular mp3 player? I thought Creative held that (with about a 5% market share).
As the second most popular.mp3 player manufacturer, SanDisk should be very wqary of Creative's legal department - especially since some of the folks from Creative have been taking notes from SCO's legal department!
"We've discussed our concerns openly, both with Microsoft as well as with a number of regulatory agencies around the world," said Holly Campbell, the spokeswoman. She declined to comment on whether Adobe plans to file an antitrust suit against Microsoft.
Oh, PLEASE let Microsoft and Adobe get in a Friday Night Sissy Fight over this crap. Maybe some smaller companies can nip their wounds for a few years and further reduce the relevance of these two bloated acquire-a-feature software mills.
Any time any company feels uncomfortable, they sue Microsoft under antitrust statute - but Adobe? Poor giant bullies of the software world can't think their way out of a paper bag, and poop in their pants the second someone has an obvious idea that's similar to theirs. For FSM's sake, this is just putting "Print to PDF" in a more convenient place.
If Adobe wants to continue shooting itself in the face (see also: Mac Framemaker, Photoshop CS, Premier, and the impending cancellation of a raft of Macromedia products) then more power to them - just as long as they finally fix some of the bugs in CS2 and release CS3 before they sell the San Jose towers to the county for office space.
Why not just fire all the software designers and coders and staff the company with lawyers and marketing people? That should keep the software buying public distracted for a few versions - and I know some newly-available "consultants" at SCO who can help Adobe duplicate SCO's gilded road to success in the software market!
Dialog boxes like this are exactly why Microsoft is sliding farther and faster behind the simplicity and flexibility that Mac OS X and Linux represent. What a goddamn joke that Windows even needs such a dialog box or the tangled mass of crap that likely supports it.
I have a friend whose dad emigrated from Iraq over fifty years ago. The stateside family regularly calls the Iraqi-born family members who live in Iraq to say hello and catch up on current events - like how many schools have been painted that week or whether the electricity is on this month, or whether the price of gas in Baghdad is higher than in the U.S. honestly, I don't know what they talk about. But they do talk.
Now, I have beers with my friend once or twice a week. We e-mail and call each other occasionally. I'm only separated by one phone call from his relatives in Iraq.
You'd better bet my name is in one of these FBI "leads", and it's entirely inappropriate. Maybe they're checking out my surfing habits, too, because there's been a long stall lately whenever I check Slashdot's front page...hope I don't go to your page and involuntarily make you part of the conspiracy.
At the top of the tree is my friend's family, calling relatives in Iraq. At the bottom, there's me, a critic of this administration. We're all connected by a single phone call from one "suspect" party to a "suspect" place. And yet I have no affiliations with terrorists somehow.
I guess the guy with the microphone in his I.P.A. is the Feeb. See you at the pub!
Well, obviously, there would be a way to abort the climbing action.
It's rather funny how the Airbus people keep restating the obvious.
Boeing aircraft have a way to "abort the climbing action". It's called the "shut off the autopilot and FLY" system, otherwise known as "full authority human intervention" also known by it's development title, "Method and apparatus for controlling a heavier-than-air craft in emergencies".
since almost every U.S. airline crash that I can remember hearing about on the news resulting in deaths happened on a Boeing 737
Oh. You must have been thinking of DC9-737, the MD-8x-737, or the famous ATR-737. Yep - the 737 is the only plane that crashes in the U.S. I think maybe you need to pay attention more.
Go to the NTSB web site and do a search on all fatal Part 121 (Commercial air passenger travel) accidents in the United States. Go ahead. I'll wait. You'll see a list of 74 fatal commercial aviation accidents that occurred in the U.S. between 1982 and now.
There are nine 737s on that list, out of over 5000 737 airframes built. Combined fatalities? 265 dead.
There are two Lockheed L-1011s on the list - out of a total of 250 airframes. 135 dead. (one crash caused by windshear)
There are two Airbus A300s on the list, with 266 fatalities combined.
So, at least for the U.S., where 737 departures outnumber A300 operations by several orders of magnitude, the 737 and all Boeing types combined are far safer than the Airbus A300 - since 1982, the year before the A300 actually flew. By looking at the list, I'd definitely avoid DC-9 type derivatives. Those things are death traps compared to the Airbus and Boeing jets.
"Hearing about" something doesn't make it so. You have a computer. Go look up facts instead of spouting the "Airbus is safer" canard - a bogus argument in terms of flight operations, statistical chance of death by type, operator, or country of origin.
You also said: That said, the numbers are -so- skewed that it colors my perception negatively towards Boeing.
How would you know, since you never even bothered to look up any of what you are purporting to be true?
More people have died on Boeing aircraft (thanks largely to Korean Air) simply because until about five years ago, Boeing planes were responsible for the vast majority of seat-miles flown worldwide - and they still fly more people more miles every day than Airbus planes do. Airbus aircraft are demonstrably slower, less efficient in some cases, and also have many service and pilot comfort amenities - but pilot surveys in the U.S. show overwhelming pilot satisfaction with Boeing designs.
.. which makes you wonder why no other large company uses macs?
Well, it isn't the support costs. When I worked there, IS&T was located in (should I say?) a place where grapes grow, many miles from Cupertino - and they didn't do normal help desk work. That was for ATCs - regular Apple employees trained to do help desk-type stuff. In AppleCare, we had one for about every 30-40 people, and the arrangement worked quite well.
More interesting than anything else would be a support cost per employee breakdown between Apple and another computer company - say, Dell - excluding headcount from the support organization to normalize things a bit.
I don't know of a large company that still lets most employees install software, have admin rights, or do anything like that. The desktop PC has to be locked down if you want to manage 100000 desktops on a modern IT budget.
You forgot about Apple. You know - the little company that makes iPods.
Over 10,000 employees, each with admin rights. No viruses, no malware, no screwed up OS that lets any process run with global read/write priviedges...no kidding.
The only difference is that they don't run Windows on those desktops.
I still can't believe iTunes fans use this as a retort for the interoperability issues. It's not a managable solution. I've got 80 gig of mp3s here, some 400+ disks I would estimate. With a ten minute cycle, thats 66 hours of continuous burning/ripping. And your standing there with a straight face suggesting this as an option? Maybe 20 disks or less at a push, but who has only 20 cds? And why do they have iPods if they do?;-)
Again, you don't seem to understand the issue. Only Music Store tracks have DRM that restrics their ability to play on more than a certain number of computers and iPods. Therefore, the CDs you import into itunes have no DRM and are freely transferable and interoperable among platforms, players, and media just as with any other computer and media player. You copy.mp3s that are part of an iTunes library to any player on any computer - they have no DRM, as you're suggesting with your ludicrous line of reasoning.
Are you really trying to tell me you have 80GB of purchased Music Store tracks you would have to burn off onto CD-R in order to move them to another player? Your argument doesn't make any sense unless you believe that or fundamentally misunderstand how iTunes/iPods work - in which case you're not really qualified to argue for or against them as useful products.
Stop conflating the issues in order to make your argument look better. Your hypothetical 80GB of music, if it's like most people's tracks, is mostly.mp3s with no DRM, even if you're a regular user of the iTMS. Using an iPod or iTunes doesn't confer DRM on all your music, and the iPod doesn't require DRM.
They do want to pay an extra 25% just to have the white headphones and look trendy.
I didn't know being trendy obviated any and all design or technical advantages the iPod has. Wow. Become cool and suddenly you're not allowed to be smart anymore. It's like reverse high school, which is where ideas like this belong.
Don't forget that before the iPod completely stole the market, reviewers lauded it for the ClickWheel, the simple interface, good jukebox software, and consistent product family design.
The iPod was not sold on it's technical merits.
Because people don't buy iPods based on the spec sheet. That's my point. iPods feel good; if you've used one iPod, another will feel and look almost the same. This consistency has allowed Apple to increase the rate of repeat sales and take advantage of trendiness - but it's ridiculous to discount the iPod's other advantages and write the success of Apple's products off as a 2-year-long mega-fad driven by clever marketing alone.
It's also worth mentioning again that iPods, for all their generational differences and features all look similar, in contrast to Creative's industrial designs, which might each be from a different manufacturer for all anyone can tell.
People buy iPods because Apple does a better job of designing and marketing them. The hardware is also pretty nice and has been lauded for it's sound quality, but as I said above, very few people buy consumer electronics of any kind based on the spec sheet. Understanding that is one reason Apple come to dominate this sector.
Finally when Creative decides to do TV spots, this is what they come up with???
Exactly. All the whining about Apple "stealing" this idea or being late to market/not being innovators, etc. is crap. Apple knew what it wanted to ship early on, tried to get it from Creative, then decided to roll their own whn Creative wouldn't play ball. It's not as if any single action taken by Apple stole the.mp3 player market from Creative - Apple made lots of smart moves that never even occurred to Creative.
It's clear that Apple had superior design, marketing, and a unique platform with the iPod. Because of the iPod, there is now a huge market for.mp3 players where only a tiny one existed before. The fact that Creative was one of the first companies making players and they couldn't get the public excited about.mp3 players while Apple did so with the iPod is the most telling - Creative was simply outclassed by Apple's design, integration and marketing talent.
But Im all for Creative getting a little justice out of this. Apple is a computer company then they come along and act like they invented portable media.
Nice to see your idea of justice is based on...how a company "acts".
You know what? Apple did a better job of making stuff people want. Creative, for all their supposed groundbreaking innovation, didn't have the magic combination of marketing savvy, features, and product design that made the iPod popular.
The iPod wasn't a runaway hit because Apple stole Creative's heirarchically-organized system for obvious navigation or whatever - it's because Apple took all the pieces - jukebox software,.mp3 device, new legal music software source - then designed, packaged and marketed them all together successfully.
Apple helped create the market - it's not clear that the 80% of the.mp3 player market buying iPods would have bought any other kind of music player. Because of Apple's music platform, the unique and appealing iPod designs (not just small and/or light), and the healthy aftermarket of accessories, the.mp3 player scene is a lot healthier now than it would have been without the iPod. Millions of people who never would have bought a "Zen" DID buy iPods, and because of it will at least be aware that there are such devices as well as competition for the iPod.
Creative should be thankful Apple has grown the market for.mp3 players, but like most businesses in this workaholic's valley, they can't see past this contrived slight of their intellectual property to the larger advantages of a market Creative could never have built on it's own.
It should be call "the Islamic holy war", because that's EXACTLY what it is.
Translation from Right-Wing Racist Code: It's OK to be a racist because it's feasible that some Muslims don't like us for our religion or race. And we especially hate brown people what don't pray to Jesus. Everyone knows every Muslim wants to kill American babies and offer their flesh to Allah.
That's not one, not two, but THREE terrorist attacks by islamo fascists under Clintons watch!!!
Then Bush has had zero terrorism-free years during his tenure while you admit Clinton did.
Our assets and interests in Bali, the U.K., Spain, Saudi Arabia, and obviously Iraq have been weekly reminders that Bush's policies inflame Islamic people and incite them to further violence preached by what were once fringe elements of comparatively few Muslim sects.

PADUCAH, KY, AP Wire -

From the review:
This dialog box is a complete mess. Why even have this service? Why is everything on Windows so obfuscated as to need a wordy, three option dialog box just to ask people if they'd like to turn off the eye candy when the computer's performance suffers.
Dialog boxes like this are exactly why Microsoft is sliding farther and faster behind the simplicity and flexibility that Mac OS X and Linux represent. What a goddamn joke that Windows even needs such a dialog box or the tangled mass of crap that likely supports it.
I am betting firmly on the latter.
I think you're right.
I have a friend whose dad emigrated from Iraq over fifty years ago. The stateside family regularly calls the Iraqi-born family members who live in Iraq to say hello and catch up on current events - like how many schools have been painted that week or whether the electricity is on this month, or whether the price of gas in Baghdad is higher than in the U.S. honestly, I don't know what they talk about.

Patented, of course - but not by the French.
That would be Air France Flight 296.
Yeah, so much for a full-authority box saying "CLIMB CLIMB!" over the pilot's better judgement. See how that turned out?
since almost every U.S. airline crash that I can remember hearing about on the news resulting in deaths happened on a Boeing 737

Umm.. To their own machines, yes. Servers are a different story.

Of course, that has nothing to do with the fact that the iPod is the only player that will touch the media they have bought.
:-)
Bull. Any of those purchased tracks can be burned right back to CD-R to stop generational loss and preserve the purchase.
By that logic, 8-tracks are the peak of audio fidelity, as those with a large library of 8-track media continue with "repeat sales".
Where did I argue that AAC 128kbps files sounded especially good? That's what you're saying. Maybe you should re-read the post to which you replied.
