I really do not get why people are buying these machines...
I can got to a local PC shop and by a shiny refurbished Compaq Evo small form factor desktop with a 3GHz P4, 80GB hard drive, 512MB RAM, DVD-ROM/CD-R with a Windows XP license sticker on it for $189. These puppies even have a low profile NVIDIA AGP video card in them (none of this integrated video p00p).
The first thing I do after installing XP (or the Pile Of Poop called Vista) is to disable autorun. This, in my opinion, is the most retarded 'feature' that Microsoft ever put into Windows.
He should be made to go around to every infected system and clean off any and all malware. Instead, he will get to sit in a small room with a roof over his head and three square meals a day for free.

1b) Have Ver. x.yz.0 software audited by a third-party
1c) Have the state sign off on Ver. x.yz
2) Silently slip in an update, called Ver. x.yz.1
3) Profit !$!$!$ (from the low-lifes that paid you to do this for them)
Jar Jar was NOT original - 'he' was a parody of an African-American stereotype.

I beg to differ.
Making it fully Java based is the worst thing Google could have done. You'll end up with slow, memory and power hungry apps.

Young padwan, you have forgotten The Golden Rule:
He Who Has The Gold, Makes The Rules.
In this case, the MPAA has The Gold (AKA $$$$$$$$), thus they get to make The Rules...

So it has been over a year...
...that's because Vista is a Pile of Horse Poop (c)(tm).
...a beowulf cluster of Decent Robots (c)(tm)...
That unless they can find a way for Big Oil (c)(tm) to get a huge slice of the revenue pie, there will be no electric cars in our future...
...talk about a double-bagger...
Mebbe he said "XP Good! Vista Bad." ?
