If keyboards like this ever go into production then you just know that someone is going to write a virus that will shuffle your keys around for you everytime you press one while scrolling some dumbass message across the F keys.
I got the same problem for a while, where my pc blue screened during a Windows install. I thought it was a duff harddrive. Swapped that still no joy. Dodgy CD, nope no luck. Bad CD drive, no. Turned out it was a buggered memory stick. Try taking them out and trying them one at a time while installing windows. I f the first one gives you a blue screen take it out and try the other. If you got a bluescreen with one stick then throw that one away, its knackered. This might not be whats causing your problem but it solved mine so it might work.
After the demise of so many good scifi / scifant shows over the past year and a bit I'm glad to see that Stargate continues to air (their were rumours towards the end of the 8th season that it was its last). Yes when I watched it on Saturday night it did seem as little strange and up until about halfway through I was left scratching my head and thinking that this was one of those windup comedy episodes. However I've seen many shows where the first few episodes of a season were slightly poor and then the season has picked up after that and been thoroughly enjoyable. Given that SG1 is on its 9th season and the fact that the 8 previous seasons have not by and large dissapointed, I think it only prudent to give it time to get into its stride before writing it off in a knee jerk reaction just because some of the cast have been replaced. Change is not neccesaraly a bad thing and it might not even be a permanent change (remember Jonas Quinn?). As long as Ben Browder and Claudia Black stop making nudge nudge in-jokes about Farscape I'm sure it'll be fine.
"Ladies & gentlemen, welcome to the new series of the ever popular show "Overhyped Media Moral Outrage!". After our previous successes in villanising the likes of Doom & Manhunt, this year we turn our attentions to that firm favorite with the kiddies GTA:San Andreas."
Coming up after this our Saturday night film "Meet The Parents"
Hilary is just still pissed off because she got made to look like a fool by Bill partaking of some "hot coffee" action of his own in the oval office (apparantly he had his with cream.
Bits falling off is a regular occurance? Shit!! Have they told the people who are going to be flying it? If they have then they must have great big balls of steel to even consider going up in it after what happen the last time something "fell off" a space shuttle.
I might be wrong ( I probably am ) but once its moving doesn't the shuttle go faster than sound in order to achive escape velocity? If thats true then the first thing a seagull is gonna know about it is when its ass goes through it head. Anyway forget seagulls, its pidgeons they have to watchout for. Those things are suicidal their always sitting on the road in front of cars so a shuttle launch would be seen as the perfect oppurtunity for a mass pidgeon suicide pack.
Not only did the task some guys to build a reusable space vehicle but they tasked it to the guys who put in the lowest bid for the contract. Its like having your space shuttle built by Hyudai as opposed to BMW. If I was going up there I know I'd feel safer knowing that bits of trim arn't going to start falling off after the first 500 miles.
How about a larger version of one of those pin screen executive toys linked to some sort of compressor system that would allow the pins to be raised individually to produce pages of braile that could be changed depending on the screen view. The pins could be made variable pressure sensative to allow reading of the text but then certain areas (such as hyperlinks) could be made slightly more raised to show they are links. All that would be need then would be slightly more pressure than normal by the user on this area to activate the link. There are probably lots of problems with this idea that I've not considered so feel free to shoot me down in flames:)
its to get rid of the taste of the dog food. That stuff they feed dogs smells and looks disgusting so I'm pretty sure it'd taste like crap in the first place.
I saw a program on tv (something like "When Good Stunts Go Fcked Up") where a guy jumps out of a plane with a camera on his helmet then his parachute doesn't open and all you can hear is him going "oh fuck oh fuck I'm gonna die" then you see the ground come rushing up as he impacts. Then the guy realises he's not dead but in fact completely okay. He gets up and starts dancing around the field he'd just landed face down in. Not very often you manage to get shit like that on video. Thinking about it he problably survived because of the amount of crap he'd filled his suit with on the way down.
As long as they dont use the prequel to tell us that Guilty Spark is Cortanas father, introduce some stupid flappy comedy alien (to appeal to the younger market) and that the Master Chief is The Chosen One who will bring balance to the Halo.....
Bizzarly, if you go right back to the start of the Halo development process they originally had plans to make it an RTS instead of a third person shooter, then decided to make it an FPS later on.

Oh they'll get it finished in time, even if it means leaving out half of the game and then putting it in Halo 4 two years later.

They should forget Speilberg and get George Lucas. He has a talent for casting people that act like robots.

97.99% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
Remember the Philips CDi. Yeah it was shit, but at least it didn't look to out of place when you put it with other seperate stereo components.
Hey look! A window!

Im sure if he thought he could get away with it the Billy Gates would have had this guy hung.
Stick something else in? Something else with plenty of blood vessels? ;)

With Elephants! On a giant turtle! ;)
I think someone has been reading the Ringworld books to much....Sun squares! Thats a good idea...But oh wait,,,what if they fall down? "Oops."
Because as you said yourself "People are gullible"....They are also stupid. ;-)
Pay twice? Screw that, just buy the DVD, rip it and downsize it to a memory card.
