I am the unofficial IT person for my family and friends and, if anyone asks me about upgrading to the newest version of Windows, I simply tell them to wait until MS releases the 1st or 2nd service pack. Unless you're running Windows ME, service packs generally make things much better...and therefore more tolerable.
This latest activity is normal for a volcano that typically erupts more silicic lava. The magma at depth is generally more viscous and after an eruption the momentum of the magma migration slows, but still continues to rise up through the vent due to residual pressure beneath the volcano. This type of thing occurs quite a bit at another volcano in Kamchatka, Russia, called Bezymianny. The dome builds up, then collapses, then rebuilds, etc. The USGS should no doubt be concerned with the growth of the dome at MSH, as a major collapse can easily cause a pyroclastic flow...nasty stuff. Questions remain, however, how much more magma is beneath the volcano and what is the rate of replenishment?

With Microsoft's EULA, aren't we ALREADY renting software from them? This is the same thing, but just a fancy, marketed lay-away plan.
Turn your phone off...in a mall? Like, whatever.
If we do invade, we must be wary of bandwidth of mass destruction.

I bet she also listens to her iPod with the volume up way too high.
