  1. Microsoft Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor on Microsoft Releases Vista Hardware Requirements · · Score: 1
    Sorry. You must run setup on Windows XP or Windows Vista.

    This is on a Windows 2000 SP4 box, Athlon 3500+, 2GB ram, DVD-ROM, DVD-Recorder, CD-R, 120GB hd (OS), 250GB hd (data), Geforce 6600(?). Obviously my system can handle it. But I can't "upgrade" directly to Vista (not that I would want to, unless some good games will only run on it)? Bullshit.

    Holy cow, dude! There is a "unblur" hack? Dude I would like to see those pixaleted chicks on my PS2, tell me how!

  3. WHAT THE?! on One In Two PCs Won't Run Vista's Interface · · Score: 1
    Shit, so now I'll be utilizing that extra GB of RAM if I upgrade to Vista? Just damn. I upgraded from 1GB to 2GB last night. That makes XP run pretty nicely. Like I explain in my JE though, software is just freaking exploding in size. What ever happened to lean and mean?

    --Once you try 2GB you never want less-- (Athlon 64 3500+) PF Usage still 225MB running just IE, Google video player, and Yahoo messenger. Feels pretty damn smooth, Windows XP that is. But damn, I can remember running Win98 with,hell, maybe 256MB and having the same "feel". WTF!? Fucking software has just exploded. And not just Windows. Tried running Suse 10 on my P2 333 w/256MB. Fucking sucked, slow-ass POS. Felt like I did when I was playing with an old Redhat distro on my 486, about 6 years ago, or like at the local community college where they tried Win95 on 486s with 8MB ram-which depending on what software you had wouldn't necessary be a bad experience-but in their case-it sucked.

    I tried it with Word XP, not 2003. It works on my system.

    This same behavior happens with other file types in Windows, including Word documents. Try creating a Word document in Office XP, save it, then rename it and remove the extension. Double-click it, and it loads up in Word despite not having a file extension for Windows Explorer to "know" what application to launch.

    Now will it stop using anywheres from 73,788 K to 253,000 K RAM? I thought Firefox was supposed to be small and efficient, but that's the ram usage reported by Task Manager.

    Do these low-income residents have PCs with wireless capabilities? Or does the SF government give them to the poor residents? Don't you think they have higher priorities than free WiFi, maybe food/shelter/clothing/etc?

  14. Huh? on Wireless Hijacker Dealt First UK Punishment · · Score: 1
    Windows automagically connects to it

    Please tell me what "Windows" you have that automagicaly connects to a wireless network. I have PCs with XP Home (SP2) and XP Pro (SP2) in which it takes approximately 30 minutes each to configure/test/reconfigure before I'm able to get them on the wireless lan. Also, would you tell me whether or not your "Windows" drops the wireless connection at least once every half-hour and wastes a minute trying to reconnect?

    When you get tired of plugging Google stories each day, how about you get around to making sure the story is actually live before you link it on the main page?
