XP is amazingly brilliant!
Stick with it. Don't bother changing, everyone is happy! Just stick there. There's lot of alternatives, but ignore that, comfortable cushion and all that.
We'll release a better version in 2009/10.. try that instead . PS: thinking about retiring soon, so won't be able to reply to anymore of your emails. PPS: WinFS will be in this version for sure:)

Doesn't this just reek of a clever long-term business plan by Microsoft?
Maybe they realised, years ago, everyone was really happy with XP. Holy shit! They'd made the perfect product! Noone would ever want or need to upgrade again!
So they intentionally release Vista as a turd. Everyone hates on it and noone decides to upgrade.
Then they release the new hotness of Windows 7 - compared to Vista, it's amazing! Everyone gives it good reviews. Why/wouldn't/ you install it? It's SO much better than Vista!
Everyone has, meanwhile, forgotten they're happy on XP and just wants to get back on the upgrade bandwagon.
Each person has their own firsts in gaming history. Especially us geeks. 1975 was 8 years before my birth, but I'm still interested. I never played this game, and doubt I ever will.
I still wanna know about it though. My first gaming experience was playing pong on some insignificant console around '88/89. Time moved slowly in my computer childhood. I didn't even realize the internet existed until '97, and didn't get my first taste until '99.
I love the history of computers as much as I love the history of the world. Considering world history, any crashing on it is as much you crashing on the first wheel, or the first use of pottery, or the first example of democracy.
I'd agree with the awful.gif's and styles, but they had a lot more going for them than myspace.
Geocities had a lot of content. A huge amount of useful information. Especially the pre-Yahoo stuff. Many times over the last decade I've ended up on a Geocities website when researching particular subjects (sorry - can't give any examples, but more than a couple dozen times when looking at some obscure stuff).
This is sad, but bound to happen. For a long while Geocities was the only place hobbyists could spew their knowledge. Now it's all over the place. Hopefully the internet archive can hold on to some of those soon-to-be lost gems.
I read somewhere that they're gonna link it in with Coronation Street (a long running UK soap where the actor playing Lister has a part).
I'll watch it, but think it'll be awful. The last series commercialized it to a stupid point, and the storylines are little similar to those of the ones conceived by the original authors.
There have been some great episodes in every series, so I'm glad they didn't follow the 12 episode route.
Maybe one day soon Google will have some way to expand mysite.com/5sfg to mysite.com/my_title_of_my_post.html. Having said that, how much of the importance of pagerank (and similar techs) is based on the url rather than title tags or links to it?

So sorry I used my mod points already.
Even more sorry that I sang your post.
The dead rarely complain (except for zombies - they're always frickin' moaning).
Non-news for most of the world. Every major broadcaster had this a few days ago. What is the point of having it here?
A terminator did it.

A CUNNING PLAN!
Nah, don't think so.
I open your robe and wheeze at that.
That's not 'in' a cereal box. That's 'buy 9 boxes and get a USB drive if you can be bothered to send off'.
What do you need warranty for? Can buy a new one for little more than post and packaging would be.
I stopped looking at that years ago. Full of damned articles!
Same issue here. I prefer it. Had two netbooks choke on the front page in the past due to all the javascript.

Geeks love history.
I run along them all the time just in general information gathering.
I'd love for them to be in a freer format, but at the same time, I love that they are in a format I can read on my computer.
I used to have a friend who'd clean up after royal events and sift through vomit and random foodstuff and find diamond rings and £10 notes.
I, personally, used to rummage around a funfair ball-pit and find mobile phones, money, jewelery and other fun tidbits.

So you answer the door naked but for a gimp mask.
Sadly, this doesn't work with spammers.
Though the hardware is pretty limited, and there's only a few available games.

I'm so sorry, but it sounded hilarious in my head.
So Obama can clear a runway and launch a nuke from his Blackberry.

Books are like 10x better than the shows though.
What if Google buys Sun and get a Soogle :) So Ogle.
Sun has nothing Google wants.
OS: Android > Solaris
Code: Python > Java
Office: Google Apps > Staroffice
Database: BigTable+GFS > MYSQL
The virtualization software (VirtualBox) might be nice, but all the Google stuff I've seen ported has used Wine.
Google News currently links to 43 related stories.
Here's the WSJ's take.
