Cake, and grief counseling...Vista's still a buggy bastard. I haven't seen Explorer shit itself as frequently as I have this past three days since Windows ME.
I tried vista on my HP pavillion before I returned it for lack of xp and linux sound drivers. It never even occured to me to use IE. Firefox worked nice. Winamp too. ICQ too. Looked really nice--congrats on whoever did the shine and compost. Apps ran quick enough. Windows admin tasks though... putt putt. That must be what turns people to think it is slow... they start tweaking and have to wait 2 secs for clicks. I only had it one day.
My favorites are the $10 educational games I buy for my daughter. Their target audience is four or five years old and they want the CD in the drive.
Check out copying the game from the cd to the hardrive, and then making just making a shortcut to the.exe file, instead of installing it. Almost everything will work that way. Very few don't. Then you don't need the cd usually.
Do you know what I tell people before I put linux to dual boot on their computer? I say "it will be just like vindows. you read the messages and click OK or Cancel." So far, out of 13 installs, no one worried after I said that. LOL. And dude, just download ubuntu and stick it in, and make your bios boot to cd and try it out.
Hey wait, I am pleased to take back my statement. My performance issue was due to a process running and it was my fault. 7.10beta5 is fine for war3 with wine. Whew, I can keep it.
I installed 7.10beta5. it seems perfect exept for 2 things. 1. Compiz kills 3d gaming. 2. 7.10beta5 kills 3d gaming. My war3 under wine runs with poor performance and it was fine before when I was using 7.04.:-(
Huh? My uncle has a ranch, 20 horses and whispers to them. They come to him like they know better, whereas they just laugh at me. He wears cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. Not much of a myth. If he was herding cattle for a living then what would you call him, a cow herder?
Thank you Microsoft for the final "push" in the right direction.
I upgraded 3 english-as-a-second-language brothers from XP to ubuntu704. They browse, email, message and rip cds mainly. I'm showing them their new computers, and they are trying them out. Not one of them noticed that MS Office was replaced with OpenOffice. They used the programs, but did not see that the name had changed. It was pretty funny how well they are managing and it has been over 3 months now. I did them up dual boot, and so far one of the three's wife is the only one who still boots windows. She did not know she could use yahoo mesenger on linux.:-)
If built in batteries are so great, why am I so happy with an mp3 player that takes AA batteries and gets 20 hours from one rechargable nicad AA? I carry 4 of them and can go on vacation for a month and not run out. If I do run out, I can buy a AA from the store till I recharge. Same with my camera except it uses 2 AA or 1 CRV3 lithium. When the crv3 runs out, I stick in 2 regular AA's till I get home to recharge. Apple suxxor I am typing on an imac right now, and the letters on the keyboard are impossible to read.
Note to Pentax, I went back for another camera and found that you disabled crv3 capability by putting a plastic piece in the way. I had to go with Kodak, sorry.
I'm not saying the iphone would fit AA batteries, but let me think for 3 seconds... I know, skip the battery compartment and door and just make the phone in 2 pieces. The top piece is the display and the bottom piece is the battery. Hold it togeter with tabs and a screw. --- duh
I'll see your bid of "close the lid" and raise you with a "sit down to pee". I don't mind background contamination but high pressure vaporization must be millions or thousands of times more.
When Falwell died, and his brain stopped working, his consciousness ended. It ceased to be. If his thoughts were like music on a cassette tape, then the tape ended... and not just to silence, it stopped as if it never existed. No amount of faith in today's religion can change that, haha.
"I have enrolled my child in school as early as possible, robbing him of his blissfull childhood, so that me and my wife can go on with our day jobs. I wonder if it was right to take away something he can never have back? As it stands, he won't remember his play years at all and his earliest memories will be of school. Oh dear... I guess he will want to drop out as soon as possible then, and certainly not get an advanced degree. We were actually thinking that he would get ahead, by starting work earlier and thus be able to afford retirement earlier, but now I realize that I got it all wrong... Kids should get to play because most seniours don't bother."

"I'm a computer-using professional, " who doesn't do video processing or run high tolerence 3d programs like unigraphics...
... nice rant, but you don't pass specific laws for every business situation. Don't steal is good enough, etc.
just fire up an appolo and giver gas. seems like r & d was done on this. was it bullshit or something?
Do you still think you are free?
I think we stumbled on a solution. Install tracking software in Windows, and use Linux.
Step 4. reinstall windows oem and bring it back to the store and say it was a theme you idiot.

"cowboy myth"?

Doesn't sound so silly now, does it?
It sounds downright silly to risk your company and product reputation/performance for a gimmick that few will notice. Hard to believe in fact.
Quick everybody, update your pirate installs now while they have WGA secretly turned off.
"Gee sir, its been running bug free for weeks. Oh yeah, turn it back on..."
Thank you Microsoft for the final "push" in the right direction.

Personally, I only shop where refunds are free. Like Futureshop, Bestbuy, Staples. I won't go to mom-pop shops with instore credit. Kiss my arse.
Apple must send one to each webmaster so they can fix their sites.

iRiver ifp799 works fine when formatted to ums mode in ubuntu.
