If you've kept up with recent past Presidents, you'll know that the only way to get an impeachment trial going is for the President to have an affair with someone else. By the looks of it, the President can lie, cheat, steal, etc, and nothing will happen to him. I'm more upset about what our current President is doing than when President Clinton got a hummer in the Oval Office.
I had the exact same thought as you. Why would you try to put a beta OS on a laptop? That's just asking for trouble. It's even tough to put XP on laptops designed for 98 or 2000 that were out before XP was out. There is a reason laptops come with the version of Windows they come with. Also, it is a beta copy of Vista. By his own admission, not even Beta 2, but pre-beta 2. I want to see someone install it on a generic desktop system first and see how it goes.
I've got my private and instrument pilot's license. At one point during my instrument license training I had my cell phone with me and recevied a call because I didn't shut it off. When the call started ringing, my instruments I would use for landing in Instrument Meterological Conditions began to behave erradicly. Granted, my phone was in my pocket and in close proximity to the instruments but still, they can cause interference. I'm not sure how much interference someone's cell in the back of the plane is going to cause, but if enough people are on them, I can see issues arising.
I'm also running Firefox 1.5.0.1. I was only on this page, no other tabs open and had AdBlock installed. I was sitting at 100MB of memory used for Firefox. I went into extensions, Uninstalled AdBlock and restarted the browser. On this same page, Firefox is now only using 25MB of memory. That tells me right there that it's not the browser's code that has the problem, it's AdBlock's code with the memory leak.
