Here in the future hibernation isn't needed anymore because computers boot instantly with everything kept on a 100TB flash drive that runs at... well I won't get into all the tech stuff but, Everything runs on Vista 7 since Bill Gates became president And outlawed Linux under the PATRIOT Act. The only problem now is that you have to Activate Windows every boot and reinstall the latest version of the Genuine Advantage software then call the 800 number to verify your Proof of purchase and enter your newly assigned 25 digit key then login with a retinal scan to be approved by Microsoft. Only takes about 5 minutes once you get the hang of it.
Did you upgrade your non-working applications to Vista-ready versions?
Some yes, some no, I have four desktops and one laptop, all of which would require upgrading the various software programs that are not compatible with Vista at a significant cost which I am not willing to fork out just yet. Some Programs such as the motion detection software have no "upgrade/update" that will work with Vista. As for the DRM issue I have no idea if is related in any way to the issues I have ran into with using Vista. I think I'll wait until the cost of upgrading to Vista is closer to the cost of Vista alone, not Vista plus several other upgrades. ($49.99US for Nero7 etc...)
Me: "Who is it?"
Them: "It's me Dave man, open up I got the stuff."
Me: "Who is it?"
Them: "It's me Dave man, open up I got the stuff."
Me: "Who?"
Them "It's Dave man open up I think the cops saw me come in here."
Me: "Who is it?"
Them: "It's It's Dave man will you open up I got the stuff with me!"
Me: "Who?"
Them "Dave man open up!"
Me: "Dave?."
Them "Ya Dave man open up I think the cops saw me come in here."
Me: "Dave's not here."
Them "No man I'm Dave! Hey come on man!"
Me: "Who?."
Them "It's Dave man will you open up man I got the stuff with me."
Me: "Who?."
Them "Dave man open up!"
Me: "Dave?"
Them: "Ya, Dave!"
Me: "Dave's not here!"
Them: "No man I am Dave man Will you, come on, open up the door will you? I got the stuff with me I think the cops saw me!"
Me: "Who is it?"
Them: "Oh what the hells wi..OPEN UP THE DOOR IT'S DAVE!
Me: "WHO?"
Them: "DAVE, D. A. V. E. WILL YOU OPEN UP THE DAMN DOOR?"
Me: "Dave?"
Them: "Ya Dave!"
Me: "Dave?"
Them: "Right man Dave, now will you open up the door?"
Me: "Dave's not here!"
Them: "ohhh..."
The webcam, integrated sound/graphics intel board were the only driver issues I had. The remainder of the reported issues were all software related. I don't remember all of them but "Nero Burning ROM" was one "Sonic, Record it now", webcam motion detection, Labtek picture it software were others. There were other programs that either locked the system or would not run, stuff I use every day. That was using Beta1, Beta2, "RC1" and both the first and the second "RC2" of Vista Ultimate edition. There were big differences in Beta1 and Beta2 and from Beta2 to RC2 there were significant improvements but still no resolution to the main issues I had with even the latest release of Vista. When I quit using/testing Vista there were 14 unresolved issues with software I use. So as I stated earlier I think I'll wait a few more years before I "upgrade" from XP.
Another thing is that I use Linux in a VM environment on this desktop and Vista doesn't support that, (yet?).
I have software that will not run in Vista. The software manufacturer nor Microsoft can give me any information as to if and/or when there will be any resolution or changes to make it compatible. It is not custom software, it is over the counter, out of the box stuff. I've beta tested Vista up to the current RC and the software still doesn't work. Vista didn't recognize my Labtek webcam, had to install XP drivers for it. Had 14 other reported software issues that are/were never resolved. I'll just stick with XP for a few more years and see how it goes. I'm not going to throw away all my stuff that works with XP just to "upgrade" to Vista and have to buy all new stuff. My box is fairly new as it is. It's a 2.6ghz Intel board with '1gig RAM' '128mg NVIDIA' DVD burner, WiFi, lots of other crap. I have three other computers networked in my house all about the same config so a Vista future is not so bright for me right now.

Huh? Unearthed also means "To bring to public notice; uncover." which could certainly apply in this case. It doesn't HAVE to be the literal definition.
Thank you human dictionary, I feel much better now. Of course you've probably spoiled jg's evening.

Scientists at the South Pole have just had a major breakthrough in proving the existence of other dimensions when a message was received at the IceCube facility from an alternate dimension!
I did. Or at least the first half. Granted the CGI WAS TRULY FANTASTIC! The movie sucked big time... It was hard to sit and watch not because of the extended length of the film but most of the scenes just drag on, and on, and on, and on, and on... well you get the point. (seriously needs about twenty more "and on's" in there though.) I was like "Come on get to the next scene already!" The clincher was the scene where they were being chased through a narrow canyon. They ran for like half an hour dodging dinos running under their feet and stuff without getting touched. jeeze.. ya it looked cool but come on! I get the frikin point already! they're runnin! they're scared! lets go already! Every scene was like that. Jackson could have (should have) cut out half of the redundant crap and it would have been a decent movie! I left half way through, couldn't take any more... I went with a friend, he left too. His only comment was, "It looked good but it sucked!" Don't get me wrong I loved the LOTRs, other than some sound problems, (volume going from so low you couldn't hear what they were saying, to so frickin screamin ass loud it blew out my right ear drum! I've had two infections in that ear since then) they were all three great flicks. I think Jackson is just a little full of himself on this one. I wouldn't pay to see it again, everyone knows the monkey dies in the end anyway.
