    Sure you can revert the theme and menus back to win2k, but I don't know anyone that has done that.

    That's the first thing I do on a new XP install.

  11. Re:Electronic voting machines on The Best and Worst Technologies of 2003? · · Score: 1
    This has to be the least welcome technology to have come to the public's attention in 2003.

    And it takes 5 because it has more than just a kernel and a window manager.

    To be fair, Microsoft added Hearts, Spider Solitaire, Internet Hearts, Internet Backgammon and Internet Checkers to their already strong lineup of Freecell, Solitaire, Minesweeper and Pinball.

  14. Re:Why? on Windows CE.NET Ported to Xbox · · Score: 2, Funny
    Microsoft could cure cancer and people'd still be worried about DRM.

    Actually, I'd be worried about MS Licensing 6.0 for Meds. The retail cure would only work on one carcinoma, the OEM cure would only work when it came with the carcinogen in the first place. The Open Carcinoma License would allow you to purchase cures for multiple carcinomas using only one Treatment Administration Device, but if you don't sign up for Medical Assurance, and then re-up every 2 years, the treatment would reverse itself and reintroduce cancerous growths into your body.

    I don't know if this actually happened, I'm an Australian, don't watch Superbowl.

    Yep, it sure did. I was rolling. In fact, you can download it here. You can see the Super Bowl commercial without joining "Terry's Hit Squad". but if you join, there are 4 more clips to download.

    I know a few people suffer from memory erasure the morning after they get their paycheck. They remember cashing it, then it's just blurred neon lights, gorgeous women and confusion as to how their shorts ended up full of peanut shells and why they woke up in an alley.
