    I think the one thing we can depend on when it comes to purchasing licenses is that the prices will never make sense.
    like why is a full song on itunes that I can have on my computer, ipod, and CD player as long as i'd like (though only for a limited amount of burns) $0.99 while a 30-second clip on my cell phone (through spring) is $2.50 and deletes itself after 90-days

  10. Re:Not working on Windows Vista Build 5231 Review · · Score: 1
    In windows XP, you can control the default icon spacing (horizontal AND vertical) in Display Properties -> Appearance -> Advanced.

    Under "Item" find "Icon Spacing (Horizontal)" and "Icon Spacing (Vertical)" and select an appropriate "Size" for each. (You may then need to uncheck and recheck "Align to Grid" to see the changes.)

    Good luck.

    That does not make the icons closer by default, of course I can move them around manually.

    WTF, did you even try?

    I said I knew how to change the size of the icons, I meant that i know of no way to have the icons stick closer together by default, to change the icon spacing, and thus increase the amount of icons that can be displayed on the desktop at once and not just piling up on top of each other in the top-right. Making the icons smaller does help a bit, and I did that in my first month of ownership. But I'd like to have a little more control in that area.

    Windows icons are great compared to mac icons, at least you can change the spacing. I can't fit nearly as much on my mac desktop as I can on my PC desktop. And (to my knowledge) there's no much I can do about it. Sure I can make the icons smaller, but they still have the same huge spaces

    I used to work for a "gas" station (service station to antipodeans like me), and I recall the price-setting method. He'd send me in one of the rent-a-trucks (rent-a-utes to antipodeans like me) to survey the local gas (petrol) prices, particularly at a specific station down the road that we were in a price war with. He'd check their prices, and set his either the same or 0.1 cents lower. Not quite a wink and a nod, more stealthy price-checking and undercutting...

    That said, if these tests were really that accurate and could be done at home, that might help. People who are hypochondriacs could test their blood and find out they DON'T have cancer. After using such a definitive test a couple of times they might very well "get the picture" that their next headache is a headache and not a brain tumor.



    Or if our little hypochondriac friend is financially well off enough we might find him or her taking one or more test per day so they'll always be sure
