I had this problem and it was driving me nuts. It is not a Vista problem. It is a Kaspersky problem that Kaspersky doesn't want to deal with (all other AV products work 'fine'), so quit whining about how horrible Vista is. It apparently has something to do with the way KAV keeps files in memory to scan before allowing them to be written to disc.
The hotfix should be open to everyone, but oh well. It takes two seconds to submit the request and they got it to me in about 1 hour. Now I can tell when I hit the 16,4---whatever limit. There is a kind of balk to the copy process, and sometimes an error which requires clicking "Try Again" once or twice. IT happens only once in the copy process, even if you multiple of that magic 16,blahblahbah number.
Yeah. Right. I'm a scientist, too, so two things everyone should know: A) When someone unknown just suddenly says, "Gee, I used to be just like YOU, but I think I've found something that really changed my mind!" every friggin red flag should go off in your head. This person is selling you on the idea by taking advantage of perceived empathy. It is the OLDEST trick in the book. Say, buddy! I used to think I sould never find a good cup of coffee until I discovered Maxwell House! That's right! I thought coffee was bitter until I tried the smooth, clean tasting Maxwell House coffee available at your local grocer! Guess what? Maxwell House coffee sucks, and so does this article. This 'scientist' just wants to bias your views before you start reading the article.
B) Anyone that claims to be a scientist and sites a friggin magazine is either a shitty scientist or not a scientist. Either way, they will not provide you with accurate info.
Seriously people what is it? Are you bitter all your precious Linux stocks tanked? Is Vonage not 'enough' of an underdog, like Apple, Linux, etc etc.? Bitter you don't qualify? There's a company that's asking for public investment to duke it out with the big telcos and you whine about it?!?! How long have I sat here and watched article after article on unfair telco practices, telcos unfairly edging out startups, telcos blocking VOIP/bittorrent/etc, telcos remerging into behemouth companies that can shift political influence in their favor on a whim. And now the moment of 'put up or shut up' and you all wimper about it being a tough battle. Go ahead. Search Slashdot for 'telcos'. I swear... I am now totally disappointed in/. Not to mention that the first hundred posts from technologically advanced community are about it being a scam without a bloody whois...
And they have already said the CEO is stepping down as a condition of the IPO, so no sketch at the top (at least no more than other companies).
Even better, not frequently using Windows will lead to greater gaps between security downloads, making Windows even less secure. I use Windows as my primary OS, and if you don't stay up on the security side, it is pretty possible (if you're a techie) and damn likely (if you're not) to miss something. Every tech friend of mine has no trouble with spyware and all the other crap people always point out as flaws in Windows, but that stuff is out of control for average, "I use my computer as a tool" users.
The logic in the article is flawed, though. Pople buy Macs because they want to use a Mac. Now they have teh option of running a few 'mission critical' apps on teh same machine. Who are they switching, when the user already shelled out $2799 for a Mac? Release Mac OS for Intel for regular retail if you want to test this theory, otherwise, this is just propoganda. OMG! 9/10 users who bought a Mac switched to the MacOS! And...
I work in a lab, ding brain-computer interface experiments in monkeys and patients. I can say that the ability to ocntrol a video game with a non-invasive technique is a LONG way off. Right now we can get relatively decent 2D control using EEGs but there ae two basic problems. 1) All cheap (and most expensive) EEG caps cost serious money and require conductive compound between electrodes and the scalp. The procedure just to put on a basic 64 channel cap takes about 20-30 minutes. 2) The current techniques use modulations of oscillations of thousands of cells in the cortex that can vary for a million different reasons, and outside a strictly controlled demo, the applications are limited. In order to do this 'stress response' type command in a game, you would need additional electrodes to do things like measure skin conductance, because on its own, the EEG signals would be indistinguishable from one of the dimensions of movement. It is more likely that if you got stressed, you would turn left more, or some such oddity. The richness of data from non-invasive techniques does not afford itself to precise control. it is that simple. (I was approached about 3 years ago to work on a brain interface for a console to debute with a game version of Ender's Game. They said they wanted it under $100. I told them to come back in 15 years.)
This was by far the worst 'wrap-up' article of the 3 OSes I've ever read. 1/3 is masterbatory self praise for his years of ignoring the obvious. 1/3 is "rah rah Linux!", and 1/3 is a stream of marketing excuses, as opposed to techncial ones, for Windows to be the market leader. If you're going to talk market, talk about it across the board. Same goes with programming, application availability, ease of use, etc.
Oh wow! Good thing we have ANOTHER review of the same friggin machine. At least this time it's by a media source, and we know the media is never biased. Those stupid reviews with numbers and benchmarks, what do they know?
I have the same monitor and don't have the rediscovery problem. I even have teh same set up (turn off monitor when not in use), and no problems. I would contact Dell and get a replacement.

The thing I hate most is the statement that evolution is just a 'theory'. So is gravity. It doesn't mean we fall up if we don't 'believe'.
A law is fact has been established in isolation from all possible confounding variables, and which the limits of are included in the definition. A theory is a law that for one reason or another cannot be tested and confirmed in isolation. Every body with mass exerts a gravitational pull on every other, and vice versa. Hence, you cannot isolate two particles and determine their gravitational interaction, because the rest of the universe interferes. You can get damn close, though.
Likewise, evolution is a theory simply because we cannot go back in time to observe and record the process as it happens. We can take note of changes that occur during our miniscule existence on this planet (recorded appropriately, of course), but we can never say 100% for sure that this is how we went from pond scum to, well, Kansas people excluded, intelligent beings, because we can't observe the process as it already happened.
As a Toyota Prius hybrid owner, I did the math before buying. Turned out that gas would have to be $5.50/gal for over 4 years before I would turn a profit compared to a regular car with the same features (not including the current tax break).
BUT, I was a pharma rep for a couple years and I thought it would be a great statement to try and 'undo' some of the pollution I caused in that worthless job, driving around all day (approx 1000 miles/wk).
Then there is the geek factor. The car is geek. So deliciously geek. It can run completely quietly, which I refer to as "Ninja Mode" or "Stealth Mode". Everyone that has a Prius has a Ninja Mode story. Usually involving old ladies not paying attention in parking lots. Another nice thing is that I don't have to fill it up much. Actually, right now, I fill it up around once every 4 weeks.
And there's nothing more fun than pulling into a gas station, realizing that the guy next to you in the Hummer is about to hit $60 worth of gas, dropping only $2 on gas into the car, and driving off as it you've got a full tank. (of course, gas up down the road)
In my neighborhood there are 5 unprotected networks that I can see from the basement. I someone is patrolling my neighborhood looking to "H@X0r j00r G1b50n", I could use friggin WEP to deter them.
I know "Blah blah blah, might think you have something good, blah", but seriously. ZERO effort versus some.
And if someone gets access to you PSP, who cares? Ooooo! My saved game is gone! Damn you hackers!
I work in brain-computer interface, and know people in robotical and anatomical engineering. We mostly use Windows, as do they, with custom drivers. I've 'dabbled' in Linux, but it never met all my needs with the same ease as Windows. No zealot here. I'd switch if I could.
Another thing to rememeber is that, especially with my engineering friends, they use ONE computer for everything. So, if you spend 2 onths writing up your NIH proposal and get it shot down because the margins are slightly off due to some minor bug in your freeware office app, it could mean your whole project. If DAPRA wants a Word document, Darpa gets a Word document, and even tiny itty bitty minor differences from what they expect can be the difference between $1MM and $0.
As a side note, we do have several Macs, which work out well. But I don't see us really ever going to Linux.
I would love to have OS X on my Sony Vaio. I need Windows for some tasks, and would prefer to use OSX for others. My choices are: 1) An iBook/Powerbook running OSX and Winxp in slow, crap-ass, Virtual PC 2) Run OSX AND WinXP natively. Hmmm.... tough decision... See, I could do without OSX, so if I'm held to the wall and forced to choose, I gotta take Windows. I'd say the majority of Windows users are in that camp.
Should I be annoyed that I was tagged a 'troll', or elated since you guys gave a +4 funny to that asschode's "Don't mean a thing if it ain't got Quartz Extreme"...
Waaaaa! Don't knock a *nix or we'll beat you senseless with our mod points!
