It's been very smooth for me. Home PC and work PC updated without any problem whatsoever. Still need to update the netbook, perhaps will do that tonight.
Did any one catch the sample size?
"The driving test was taken by 29 people - 22 without the gene variant and seven with it."
Ummm... Sounds like interesting research, but until your sample size increases a bit, you don't got nothing.
This administration again seems to do things without thinking things through. They are spending money building this out with NO IDEA if people will actually use it.
There must be reasons why rail passenger travel died in the USA last century. What makes this administration think they can revive it?
I hope people do use it so the money is not wasted.
It seems to me that if you want to get there fast and have to deal with getting local transportation, one would choose the fastest way.
If you are not in a hurry then I would think one would prefer to have your own car, filled with "supplies" for your trip and useful for local travel when you get to your destination.
As I said I hope the money spent is worthwhile, I just think it probably won't be used much and we will be stuck with subsidizing it for the next century.
I have to say that Handbrake is my favorite desktop application. Of course it gets a lot of use since I rip all my DVD/bluray purchases and put them on my media server.
Of course it cannot rip the bluray but I use it to re-encode them to save some disk space.
Also use it to encode my AVCHD video files from my Sony HD camera so I can play them on Linux.
Try Handbrake!!
The commercials were almost as bad as having to program using the DirectShow API.
Both must have been invented by a PHD who is so smart but actually can't do anything.
The last piece of Microsoft software I bought was Word 95 that came on about a gazillion floppies. I had a 386 PC at the time running DOS/Win95 and decided I needed a word processor.
I installed it and used it for a few months. Unfortunately my hard drive died. Of course I *never* do backups other than my own source code, I'm a computer scientist! So I bought a new drive and re-installed everything.
The Word install had "sensed" I have previously installed before and ASSUMED I was pirating it instead of suffering from a legitimate data loss. It MADE ME HIT OK FOR EVERY FILE IT WAS GOING TO WRITE TO THE HARD DRIVE with some stupid message like "This file has been installed previously, continue?" Of course no "Yes To All" button.
They are mean bastards.
The next weekend I installed FreeBSD 1.1.5 and haven't run Windoze since. I happily live in a windoze-free world and run Gentoo on all of my machines now.

Whew. So glad I'm not an ISP nor own any part of one. When they come for your stuff I'll be just as helpful.

Yeah and the seven were Asian.

Funny how the label is "Representative" when a Democrat politician backs these insane Internet regulations.
...is Computer Science. :)
