There are easier ways for the lay-user to corrupt data if they wanted (non-robust file system permitting). It does make sense to only allow root to have access to move data on the entire disk - I hope WinFS is up to par with other modern filesystems in its ability to stay defragmented.
Yes, but will you still need administrator privileges to do basic tasks like defragmenting the disk? Where I work, I pretty much had to steal the local admin password (though nobody would, or does, mind that I have it) to get some much-needed defragmenting and spyware removal taken care of on some of our work machines. The latter will easily be taken care of (without discussing fake password dialogs), but not being able to defrag is a bitch.
So does Debian whenever I install a new kernel package or something (installing those packages runs a script that updates GRUB without any sanity checks to see if it was hand-edited). My solution is to cut and paste the commented-out example of a Windows boot entry in/boot/grub/menu.lst to the active list and change the name to "Windows XP Professional". There's a GUI editor in GNOME to do it if you hate hand-editing text files, but I don't know if it's listed in the menu in Ubuntu (I use Debian, it is in there)
But does it take more electricity to compress the air into the tank than it does to just run the car on electric power? Sounds like just another degree of separation from energy we'll be getting from oil, anyway.
You ever actually tried raising the refresh rate on a CRT above 60Hz? It's a lot easier to look at than an LCD, since the backlight intensity on one seems to change based on the viewing angle, causing a false 3D effect for the eyes to focus on.
1) PoP - Frustrating puzzles that penalize you by making you watch long cutscenes over and over if you die and have to restore your last save... 2) ICO - Why do you have to skip the opening cutscene 7+ times just to get started? And I don't want to hear anything about it suggesting my attention span - FMVs are never that important. 3) Katamari Damacy - fantastic and hilarious game, but very, very short. Small issues like the Ursa Major level. A pixel is not a bear! 4) I don't have much bad to say about Tony Hawk games. Underground just got way too hard on the San Diego level - 160,000 point combos alone just doesn't cut it anymore (was good to see their portrayal of home, though!).
I suggest Metroid Prime (for long term single player gaming) and the Burnout series of games (for the crashes, of course). Sure the first appears to be another FPS, but it is much more. Burnout 2 and 3 may look like budget Wal-Mart racers, but it is also more more entertaining than that.
Some things never get old. Just try playing Devil May Cry 3 for longer than five minutes. Or the very last part in Metroid Prime (after Meta Ridley)....FUCK!
Everybody I know came up with special magic smacking-the-side-of-the-case patterns that got the NES to read the cartridge. Smack left-left-right-blow-smack top-play....*red* *red* FUCK!
I've inherited my late Grandpa's old NES with low mileage, so I don't have to deal with that anymore.

The "o" key is fine, it's the "0" key I'm worried about.
Yeah, and I kept on posting, too.
B'dong.
You know, the conventional way to preserve your dignity on Slashdot is to stop writing your corrective post when you realize the joke.
^^^^^
You left these carriage returns in front of my house. Please claim them.
I'm very partial to the baseball bat.
Damn, beaten to the Oolong joke.

Jesus Christ, does Slashdot get all their links from the Awful Forums? First the Best Buy $2 arrest, now this.

.... That was really hard to read.
Anyway, Utah Salt Flats Racing Association Home Page. First result on Google for "Salt Flats".
Yeah, but nobody has ever seen a steam-powered speeder on the Salt Flats either. Shrinking the form factor tends to do things to power.

GNU/Anus?

Ending a post with an insult....check. Welcome to Slashdot, you will fit in here nicely!
I hear you. I live in JST and have still have put up with these - and it's 1:35 PM April 2nd here!
1) PoP - Frustrating puzzles that penalize you by making you watch long cutscenes over and over if you die and have to restore your last save...
2) ICO - Why do you have to skip the opening cutscene 7+ times just to get started? And I don't want to hear anything about it suggesting my attention span - FMVs are never that important.

I would have suggested Mexican food, but okay!

Because it's your dog!
Actually, I think most LCD screens make up for it by being slightly taller than 4:3.
