    It doesn't mean it was HIS .38 firing. That's hardly an uncommon caliber.

    Extended battery, extended storage, -large- antenna (hard to pick up a GPS with all that aluminum around you otherwise), as well as toughening. Try using your tomtom without a clear view to the sky - it doesn't work very well!

    Oh no, something will change.

    We'll get our own private internet to use our OSS in. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would do what they could to put an "alternate" backbone in alongside the Microshit one (at it's expense, of course)

    Perhaps it's MS that should be cordoned off from the net at large...

    Oohh, doesn't sound like such a good idea now, does it MS?

    My impression was something more along the lines of booting into safe mode and removing a worm (that was otherwise non-destructive - like that one that caused RPC to die a while back?).

    I've had to do that once. Nobody had a fix out yet, and I managed to nail the thing into place long enough to kill it from a foreign system. It was a learning experience :)

    4:3 vs 16:9 vs 8:5/16:10 - bleh.

    That's odd, I much prefer 8:5 myself (16:10 if you want to be a punk).

    1680x1050 is an example of this ratio. Seems a great compromise. I can't stand 16:9 myself - that starts to feel a bit too thin...

    Both my KDE box and my Windows 7 box have a nifty feature.

    If I drag a window to the side of the screen, it "maximizes" to fit that half of the screen.

    A quick drag and I get another window on the opposite side of the screen. Need to maximize one? Drag the window titlebar a whole 5 px to the top of the screen and it maximises. Double click the titlebar and it reverts back.

    What OS are you talking about? Admittedly I don't know much about how Mac works, if that's the one (but from your tone I didn't catch this impression).

    I can't stand a rotated screen. There's something about the mask or dotpitch that makes me able to see some structures in the display that you can't see normally. Drives me insane.
