What are these alleged stability issues some of you guys claim to have with Windows? I use Win2k exclusively, it runs all the software I want it to, recognizes all the hardware I want to use(included the world's cheapest scanner I bought years ago). My box isn't loaded with Trojans or Virii.
Plus, I don't have to worry about which decimal point version of a kernel I have installed, nor do I ever have to compile an app to run it.
The "Microsoft is Pure Evil" battlecry doesn't fly either. Microsoft is weenie evil, if your going to rant about corporate evil why don't you do a little research on a company like Debeer's Diamonds and learn what true evil is.
I've always found it amusing how many people hate Bill Gates and love Steve Jobs. Bill Gates has probably donated more to charity than anyone in history and Jobs is one of the biggest pricks to ever soil the planet with his footprint. Macevangelists always seem to forget without Microsoft handing millions to Apple (ironic that M$ has to float their "competition" to avoid being a monopoly) every year because Apple has never run it's company well, Apple would have gone out of business long, long ago.
Sorry, I went off on a rant. The short story, ALL OSes suck in their own way. I just find it amusing the majority here jump on any flaw they find in Windows, but, largely gloss over any, sometimes major, issues in other OSes.
Have a nice day
I didn't realize being ignorant as a strictly American affliction. Last time I checked, basing one's value as a human being by their race, religion, nationality, or what have you is probably one of the most ignorant things one can do.
Actually, I was shocked by 220 volts in an accident. When I say shocked, I mean I was held on to it for approximately 45 to 60 seconds. I don't know which was worse, the resulting heart attack symptoms or having to explain to very dumb doctors why I couldn't let go and that 220 is a lot to suck up.
To the original poster, don't be such a moron, call a damn electrician already. Besides frying yourself, did you even consider the liability issues? Guess who'll be investigated if the building burns down.

Correction, these structures will HELP the fish stocks. The windmills will create habitats for the sealife and prevent trawlers from ripping up the sea floor and destroying breeding grounds. While I tend to believe there will be a short term disruption of Nature during construction, the long-term benefits will outweigh it.
Being a seventh generation native of Martha's Vineyard, this project is also in my backyard, the planned windmills are quite massive. I just find it very amusing that the same wilted-flower children who have been writing letters to the editor and such, pleading all of us to stop using fossil fuels are the same people protesting the windfarm the loudest.
Remember folks, the definition of a conservationist, is it's someone who already owns a summer home.
Moore himself never claimed it was a law. He merely made an observation that made a great sound bite. Others made it a "law". He said in an interview he was amazed at how long it stayed mostly true. Moore's "Law" is dead, get over it, it wasn't a hard and fast rule anyway.

We're just keeping the European tradition of colonization, we learned from the best.

What a lovely example of why not to take advice here......
