I still think that the dot-matrix noise did actually deafen me.
Not likely. Provided it's not some commercial-grade monstrosity. I spent a summer doing employee dosimeter serveys for a company to determine which job descriptions should be included in yearly hearing tests required by OSHA. In the testing process, I left one on top of one of the dot matrix printers within an inch of the write head. After an 8 hour shift, the average exposure was still 10 dBa below OSHA's maximum allowable. This was no light service either. The printer ran essentially all day (monthly reporting) and the machine consumed 3-4 reams of papper, iirc.
So, unless you were using them as headphones, you are unlikely to have suffered any lasting damage.
For the record, the highest values recorded during the survey was when one employee forgot to take off the device when he left for lunch. He drove one of those really loud boom-boom minitrucks that pervaded the streets back in the early 90's.
Do you honestly think you will have a choice? New format comes out. Blockbuster movie is in new format. Retailers complain about having to devote floor space to multiple formats. Next blockbuster movis is only in new format. Soon, ALL movies are in new format.
With what? 88+ dual layer DVD's. *shudder* I am rapidly approaching the point where I just mirror everything rather than make backups. Removable media is just not keeping up in either capacity or affordability.
3)The "most recently used" list is no longer limited to the last nine files
Yay, my #2 pet peeve with Word is fixed. Note to UI designers: If you want to limit the choices to 0-9, do not provide a 5 digit field.
Now, if only ctrl-tab would do something useful, I might actually be happy.

The cheep bastard never chipped in for the coffee pool, but still drank 6 cups/day.
I hear the MPAA is working on Sharp Stick(tm) technology for that.
When I googled "Search Engine" on Yahoo!, it comes up #2. Right behind Yahoo! Search. I wonder if Yahoo! still fudges their results...
ToiletCraft confirms: BSD users don't pee on their hands!
Ad hominem by an anon cow. What a waste of bandwidth.
And how stupid does an OEM partner have to be to not release updated drivers?
I, for one, welcome our new search engine based overlords.

Wake up, Lews.
The Matrix has you.
Holy non-sequitor, Batman! Why the hell is this thing rated "Interesting" and "Insightful"? "Offtopic" is more like it. Stupid mods.
Choke, joke. Whatever.

Does the cover have the words "Don't Panic" in freindly yellow letters?

actually, they are quite small...
Which is governed by operating temperature.
Which is governed by availible material technology.
And don't get me started about 0D text editors.
I miss the good ole days when satire could be subtle.
Fearing your government may be a natural reaction, but it is hardly a solution.
Because living in a constant state of fear and paranoia is the only way to defeat terrorism.
Its so hard to get the knitting needles into your mind's eye.
