Your Windows 7 install must have viruses out the waazzzooooo then... I have an SSD running on my Windows 7 x64 install. From the time I click the power button on my case to the time the Windows 7 desktop is in front of me and running is about 9 seconds. That includes me having to type in my password for Windows. If I were you, I would be worried that my Windows install was/is a internet zombie attacking others as part of a massive botnet.
People have been suggesting using WINE to run games. I have heard stories that Blizzard bans players who use WINE. Any truth to this? I do not want to lose my entire Blizzard game library.
I have read stories in the past about Blizzard banning players simply for using their game under WINE. Any truth to this? With Blizzard holding all the keys to the games with digital access now a days, I am worried about doing anything to get all my games snatched away from me.
We need to take a lesson from Mr Burns.
Burns then reveals to Smithers his grandest scheme: the construction of a giant, movable disk that will permanently block out the sun. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Shot_Mr._Burns%3F)
The Simpsons solved global warming! No sun, no warming!
I have been using a finger print scanner to clock in and out of my jobs for the past 10 years. As the IT guy at some of these jobs, I know that its not actually storing the full image of my finger print. It stores a few critical points to make sure it has it and not the full image.
But if someone really wanted your finger print, it would be easy for them to lift it off the door knob when you enter your office, or from a coke can you throw into the trash or from your keyboard when you get up to goto the bathroom or anything else you touch in a given day. It would be much easier than hacking the time clock or a server to get your finger print.

Cool, what stuff do you create in Linux?
That is a short list there. :P
Microsoft has done a good job of marketing the idea that Windows is the best platform for PC gaming, true or not.
Which are your fav. Linux games? You sound like someone good to talk to about what is awesome in FOSS games!
Give it a look again. nVidia has released drivers that offer 20% better performance over their Windows drivers now.
What kinda graphics card are you running? Which distro of Linux?
Good one!
Netflix runs on Linux now. There was a /. article covering this topic last week. :D http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/11/16/1554254/running-netflix-on-linux?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=twitter
Google Earth has flight sim mode with a buncha different airplanes.
I really doubt Microsoft will release Halo for not Windows. :(
That is a good question too!
What if we did a mix of Solar, Wind, water (Wave), Fire (Geothermal) and heart (People riding bikes instead of driving cars when they can)?

Why not solar?
We can move to clean(er) power plants too.

My house would BE in the ocean at that point.
