    I know that, it's one of the first things I configure after I install XP on a system (that and turning off sounds and turning off the annoying error messages except the fatal ones).

    Windows Sysadmin here :)

    Heh,actually, buying Windows Vista solved a problem I'd been having, random reboots during WoW and only WoW under xp. No blue screens nothing, just poof death and hey look, I have 2gb of ram wheeeeeeeeee.

    Well, after buying Vista (was only +/- 18 euros since I work for an educational institution) I got a reboot too, after a nice blue screen. Best part about Vista for me is, it shows the info from the blue screen next time you boot up. I googled the error, did a little digging and it turns out 1 bios setting was wonky.
    The one that clocks the cpu back if it thinks you don't need performance.
    After turning that off, I never had the problem to this day.

    So in all honesty, Vista works fine for me (I know it doesn't for others) and it was dirt cheap to boot :)

    To be fair if I instructed my minions to:

    "Get this project finished to everyones satisfaction and I don't care how you do it"

    I'd be a bit surprised if they came back to me the next day and said

    "Hey boss, that project thing. It's all fixed up real nice now. Real nice"

    And it turned out they'd done it by killing all the people who were waiting for it. That's just thinking outside the box ;)

  8. Re:On a non-geek note... on History of Slashdot Part 3- Going Corporate · · Score: 1

    It's also one of the most rewarding I think.

    Me and my family took care of my dying grandmother at home for 6 months before she passed away.
    It's one of the most gruelling experiences of my life with a bitter ending.
    But in the end I felt good about myself (how weird that may sound)that all of us did it, even if it almost destroyed us as well.
    She was so loved by us right until the end and where ever she is now, I know she is looking down on us with the same love.

    I agree with you 100%, the best part of this episode in my opinion is that the actor really gives a prize winning performance of Sisko, tormenting himself about the choices he made against his principles.

    Please, I haven't had crashes in XP for many years and the only crashes in Vista that I had was due to a faulty bios setting. it's been damn stable for the 9 weeks I've been using it.

    The only gripe I have is that they moved a lot of stuff around, but I'll get used to that, no biggy.
