Actually, that's ~$189 for the Volume License UPGRADE to Windows. You can only buy the Vista UPGRADE through the volume programs, the PC it is installed on has to have a brought-and-paid copy of Windows (Home, Pro, OEM, Retail, etc.) already on it. So, taking the prices in this thread, to put volumes licensed Vista on a computer you have to buy a PC with OEM Vista at ~$189 pre-installed, then purchase the upgrade from MS at an additional ~$189 to be allowed to do images, unattended installs, use the same key on multiples, use a KMS for internal product activation, etc.
There are plenty of lovely targets around the town, which can explain the reaction (which you'd expect no matter what when dealing with batteries and unknown electronics in a sneaky location in a heavy traffic area).
Yeah, you can't be too careful around batteries. Especially 9-volt ones, they can tingle your tongue!
Vista comes on one DVD-ROM or 4 CD-ROMs, so even latter Windows propeller-heads can enjoy feeding the beast! Perhaps Longhorn will reach Windows 95 levels (25+ disks).
Heh, a friend of mine had a deodorant shortage one day. He found an old gel-type deodorant at the back of the closet. It was old enough that the gel had hardened in the little holes on the top, so he though it might be a good idea to zap it for about 15 seconds to melt the hard gel. After about 5 seconds it blew out the top of the tube like a White Castle emergency.
It was pretty fucking funny and his apartment stank for weeks.
We named it Tubes because of the metaphor we borrowed: the pneumatic tube used at many bank drive ins to transfer documents & cash.
So which files are "coins" and will cause the electronic bottle to get stuck halfway under the Internet? And does it make those pathetic groaning sounds when it happens?
Slashdot Mirror
You see "MS Office" and think "Will you stop touching me"?
Either that or Bruce (since Archie and Veronica are already taken).
Bruce? That's like naming it "Lance" or "Julian". Those WERE the toughest names we had, now...
But a wooden one is so tempting.

the "Flip 3D" feature was next to useless and an obvious failed clone of Expose
Heh, Flip3D only works on "windows", not on "dialog boxes". Just like the Taskbar, it doesn't show everything you are working on.
Hmmm, the tooltip says "Start" if you hover over it.
Or French Military Victories.

Smörgåsbord II: Blue Plate's Revenge
The DRM in Vista will simply obey the restrictions placed on the media by the supplier of that media, it won't magically add new DRM restrictions.
Instead of obeying the instructions of the OWNER of the media.
I hear the tin-box collector's edition includes a limited-edition silk-screened roll of Charmin.
Remind me why I should rejoice again?
Because you will now have the option of punching the monkey in addition to spanking it.

If our current US "President" can speak some Spanish (which he can, surprisingly enough!)
OK, how do you say 'nucular' and 'misunderestimated' in Spanish?
Seriously, that's a pretty good point.
A REAL slashdotter wouldn't have to ask. A REAL slashdotter would already know.
I thought he was talking about Nintendo.
Damn straight. Talk that boils down to "how great it would be to be nice to each other" can get you nailed to a tree.
...he remembered teaching Newline to suck "Eggses!! Eggses!!"
I know that if people in my apartment complex did this, we could all live happier lives, particularly the picking up after dogs bit.
Especially in the laundry room.
Indiana drank the Kool-Aid last year.
Exactly. How does everybody but Arizona, Hawaii and Alaska drinking the DST Kool-Aid become Microsoft's fault?
Some people pay a lot of money for that sort of thing.
I got a full-screen Dell ad instead of the linked article.
