I was in a similar situation about a year and a half ago. My solution was to copy the files from within Windows, reboot using the new drive, and see what happens. It was perfect, except that Windows still registered the old drive as C:. Turns out that there's a registry key containing the values of how drives/partitions are mapped to letters (I think it was called "DosDevices", a quick registry search should turn it up). I swapped the entries for the two hard drives and it worked flawlessly.
So the question becomes: Why the popularity for a technically junky system?
Because nobody cares that MySpace's backend sucks? All they care is if it's fucking up or not. The site was up for a bit yesterday afternoon, and I found at least 2 bulletins saying "omgz my myspace is being gay".
Call this pure speculation, but I think the biggest reason for portions of MySpace consistently going down is its incredibly high growth rate. There was probably a bright spark among the programming team that realized that some bit of the system couldn't handle the current load, and so it's modified accordingly. Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to replicate the sort of load they get daily on a test server. So what do they do? Put it on the live site. If it breaks, they turn it off. In that sense, MySpace is actually pretty well designed, since portions of the site are isolated from one another and can be turned off at will without any adverse affects.
Except that they still have angsty teenagers that don't understand there's a good reason for the site going down (assuming the above is true).;)
I've seen a lot of people complain that this new iMac is "too expensive for college students." Except that it's targeted at schools to buy en masse for computer labs and whatnot.
It's been said that one understands something best when they can teach it to someone else. Teaching may not necessarily be required in this case, but I'd say that if you can fix a typical fucked up computer (IE, no firewall, but no pr0n sites) non-destructively, then you have a pretty good handle on things. And I mean really fixing it, not just reinstalling Windows into a new folder.
I personally find it easier to integrate (X)HTML with my PHP. When I've needed to store them seperately, though, I've seen no performance differences and I highly doubt that there would be anything significant. PHP is fast.
Then again, I've never used Perl, Python, or Ruby for web development. Perhaps they're different.
I'm not 100% sure it's the case, but I seem to remember that if the.NET runtime is installed, the VB and at least VC# compilers are installed. No IDE or anything, but the compiler executables are there.

I don't know that.
You can teach kids HTML, but you can't teach them good design.
It runs fine on my GeForce 2 (that is to say, all the bouncyness gives me a headache :D).

X-Play was actually a pretty good show before G4 took over.

Not an FPS like Prey/HL2/Doom 3/Far Cry/etc. It's closer to an RPG than an FPS.
Because it isn't an FPS.

I wish I had mod points. That's the funniest thing I've read all day.
I have HAD it with this motherfucking hose on this motherfucking fire truck!
No.
IIRC the tech in that video went into Pikmin.

Really, their subscription page says $39.95 a year, which surely must cover individual issues as well, no?
Is there something significant about the 50 meg limit, such as the capacity of those business-card size CDs?
You just answered your own question.
Yeah, if you haven't noticed, it's version 0.3.
Yes, a number less than 1, which generally indicates a finished version of a piece of software.
In case you didn't figure it out by now, ReactOS is still under development.
FIRED for having a blog
:P

Can I have some of what you're smoking?
Uh, there's only 1 'L' in the word "excel".
