On: Vista Beta 2 has Major Problems

Somehow I find that hard to believe. Windows 9x made for some pretty hellish experiences.

And ME made 98 look like a walk in the park!

On: Lenovo Banned by U.S. State Department

There's a disk image with the standard State Department software, and it is written to every computer.

This is non-sense. Every operating system from Windows to Linux, etc., needs to be configured for the specific hardware environment that it runs on.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for that many different types of systems.

It always annoys me when people use duplicate unnecessary redundant superfluous words in their sentences.

On: Britons Unconvinced on Evolution

Yes. Any molecular biology textbook is full of factual proofs of evolution.

And yet you couln't put just one simple example in your message. This is the kind of bluff and bluster that IS the theory of evolution.

P.S. Insightful my ass

On: Security Vendor McAfee to Pay $50 Million Fine

What a load of crap!

It's not a problem with capitalism (or more properly called "the free market"), it is a problem with human nature

You don't think there is greed and corruption under other economic systems?

E-mail address Okay, perhaps a stretch. But again, not too hard to set up a hotmail account, "mikes_garbage_email@hotmail.com", and provide that. You never even have to check it, if you don't want to.

Are you nuts?!

If you don't check it for 30 days, they disable your account!
