Instead of waiting a month, and deleting a bunch of stuff you probably don't need to (and causing yourself problems), why not just see what files appeared, if any, right after you noticed problems? All you have to do is view a folder in 'detail' mode, and see which were created right when you started having problems and work from there... i forgot to add that this tactic works especially well (and twice as good in safe mode;)
I use Opera and run ZoneAlarm Pro firewall, I do not run active virus protection (except if i download from p2p/bt, I scan the files) and I run sp1, and I've been getting by alright.
Jesus man. Either you are obsessive compulsive, or you look at a lot of porn.
Jokes aside, is it really necessary to delete a bunch of system folders...? I think not. I can see how this is applicable in a worst-case scenario, but i can't even see this happening 'several times a day,' at least not on the same machine.
In the beginning, capitalism fed the growth of technology. Competition helped spur new technologies. In roughly ten years, computers went from unknown to everyday life. It seems to me that today, things are evolving at a slower pace than in the past...[please don't flame, my opinion]. Things are starting to stagnate...home technologies have been roughly the same for a few years. The companies have consolidated and monopolized and less pressure is on to innovate and 'push the limits.' Look at cell phone carriers -- there are only about 4 major ones today (in the US)...but I digress.
What the RIAA is going to do is hurt the future growth of technology in the field of recordable media, in general. First, I believe they tried to prosecute various tape companies back in the day (I have no link; i could swear i heard it though), but then that led to CD's and P2P. Suddenly the RIAA was getting involved in what you could own on your computer. Now, suddenly, for some reason unbeknownst to me, they are going to have jurisdiction over what --equipment-- I have to use?! RIAA Approved, full of their shitty Anti-Piracy stuff? In the end, (and they are already starting to), they are going to hurt their own supporters; their consumers. They are going to be very inconvenienced -- after owning a cd they could pop into any player, it sure is inconvenient to have to go buy another $.99 allowance fee to play this song in the car radio, isn't it...?
I hate that music is an 'industry.' When I hear the word 'industry,' words like 'factory' come to mind. Maybe I'm crazy. Hm.
...in a bad way. As if the dupe articles and weak coverage lately wasn't enough... To forget to provide the one IMPORTANT thing in a submission is plain semi-ridiculous.
how the hell is this offtopic!? obviously, the n-gage failed, due to the fact that it could not accomplish the task of functioning as a portable gaming machine.

The future is fucked. Our minds aren't even sealed anymore.

Come on man. 2 seconds on Google.

I didn't know there was more than one Star Wars created, both created by George Lucas!
I forgot that you had to do HTML for line breaks, sorry for the long paragraph...

Read anything about the case, and you'll see that parent post broadly overgeneralized. Google it.
Asia is always years ahead of the US as far as technology goes. I wouldn't get my hopes up about seeing this in the office anytime soon.
geek became chic.
I was never chic. Scrawny, yes, but not chic.
If this robot gives the one-finger salute when cussed at, I'll be getting one.
So I see my parents weren't alone in their actions ;).
I love surprise porn.
It's not luck. It's being in the right place at the right time, and putting your money down where and when it counts.

Totally agree with you. I started on QBasic.
Newsweeks? I thought the name was trademarked and only one company could have it... Aren't you guys editors?
Congress better look into this. If baseball players can't do this, mice shouldn't be able to either.
Slashdotted after 10 posts. Ouch.

A cell phone should't try to do a portable console's job.
