Well, technically Adobe Reader is more correct, and much less confusing (just see above). The program Adobe Acrobat creates PDFs (Portable Document Files). Adobe Reader displays PDF-files. A PDF isn't an "Acrobat file";) Acrobat is just a name.
Oh, and obligatory Professor Farnsworth quote: "No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it!"
And in seriousness, I am having a hard time wrapping my head around this. It's very abstract to me;P To me it sounds like they inhaled too much of the grass they burned in the garden;)
I call BS. I have a C2D T7400-based laptop with 2GB RAM, Geforce GO 7600 and a 100GB 7200RPM-drive. It boots [a lot] faster with Vista than it does with XP (I've had both installed, currently using Vista). Vista has a lot of other annoying bugs though - mostly driver-related. A few NVidia-drivers made the Vista "Sleep" BSOD, but a newer beta fixed it for me. Another annoying bug on this (Zepto) laptop is that the NIC (not the WiFi) is flaky. Disabling it often makes it completely disappear:P OTOH, there might be something about what you are saying. I think that a fast drive has a lot of say in booting Vista.
Thanks for reminding me of Crank:) Jason Statham is pretty cool in that flick... I love how he takes his girlfriend in the middle of some sort of market to get his heart going:-D
*Never* underestimate an Airbus A380-800F. It will carry a 150 tonne payload at 0.85 mach, 6500 miles before refueling. A Hitachi 7K1000 1TB drive weighs in at 700 g. That's around 210,000 TB. Flight at.85 mach will take about 30 hours, let's give them 10 hours for refuelling and maintenance. That's 40 hours. If I'm not mistaken, that's around 60 GB per second. What's that? Around half a TBps?
Beat THAT Internet2!
Feel free to correct my "calculations", as they weren't any such thing!:)
I scanned the comments, I scanned the website, but I was unable to find a figure. What does Google Apps cost now? For private people, for small businesses?
Offtopic: Can you manage several domains under the same setup? I mean, what if I want to use gmail to host mail on, say, three domains. user@dom_a.com should be the same as user@dom_b.com and user@dom_c.com - Is that doable now?
Ok, where to start. Let's see... Ok, here goes: So what? Who cares? No. Seriously. So yahoo got a truckload of cash from Microsoft. Who can blame them? Not I, posting from Firefox 2.
Only... Noone wants linux. Hmm that came out wrong: The linux distro you want, is already available for download, from the source. Windows isn't avaiable for free legal download anywhere, so some will probably get sucked in by this.
Borrow a Windows machine, download the image, use VMWare Workstation and download the Virtual Machine Importer tool to convert the image to VMWare - If you're lucky it doesn't invalidate the activation and you can run VMWare under linux...

It doesn't matter. But it doesn't anti-matter, less.
Or something.
Of course, after I press submit I realize that PDF is Portable Document Format, not File ;P

Take that, causality!
Websters used aluminium. Hall used "aluminum" in some advertising, and it stuck, apparently. See the etymology on wikipedia...
I remembered this, believe it or not. Almost 6 years to the day ;P Well, who's counting ;P
The german police will be pleased!

They were off by 3 years :P
I just lost my 5 mod-points because I didn't use them, otherwise I'd mod you up.

Bad link. Yes. A glitch in the matrix, no doubt.
You can't do name based virtual hosts using different certs on the same IP/port. It is indeed a limitation of SSL. It is in fact impossible.
I'd guess around 0.00005 of them per second... LC is supposed to be around 20 TB in digitized form.

I hate when they do that.

What can I say? iAgree!
Which is why you use the COALESCE function.
Oh, I didn't realise it was free?! What? It isn't? Ok, nevermind then ;)
Here you go, and you're welcome :)
