I couldn't have said it better myself. We just want the 30-second lockups, hard disk thrashing and other unexplained delays to go away and let us do our work. Unfortunately, Vista exacerbates all those problems instead of fixing them.

Flame away about how horrible it is that I missed some edge case that even nobody on Slashdot has ever heard of, but they work well for me and hopefully for you too.
Now, if you actually find a common case that I missed, I would appreciate the help...
If the majority don't want to watch it, it will die a natural death.
Except that this doesn't seem to be true. No matter how many failed "gritty" shows there are on TV, everything new that comes along is the same.
Then, everyone wonders how American Idol gets such strong ratings... Maybe it's because it's rated TV-G and the whole family can watch it. Amazing Race, too. No, that can't be it. Let's make another gritty crime drama full of affairs, violence and smut...
The same thing happened with March of the Penguins. For several weeks it was the ONLY movie rated PG or less in the theaters. Everyone wondered how this sleepy documentary could do so well. Then, it was finally replaced with Finding Nemo, which, despite being just OK as Pixar movies go, also brought in record profits because it was the only PG or less movie for several weeks.
Then, the Penguin imitator movies came out and flopped. The March of the Penguins DVD came out and flopped. And nobody can figure it out....

It was originally that way until the 12th Amendment in 1804. Apparently the practice ended because people were worried that the Vice President's party would murder the President to take power:
In addition, it was becoming increasingly apparent that a situation in which the Vice President had been a defeated electoral opponent of the President impeded the ability of the two to effectively work together, and could provide motivation, at least in theory, for a coup d'état (since the Vice President would succeed to the office of the President upon the removal or death of the President). The Twelfth Amendment, in having the President and Vice President elected as a ticket, eliminated this possibility.
But they would never cut right in front of you and slow down so much as to impede your progress while another person walked at a similar speed blocking the rest of the hallway. And at worse, if they did this (for instance, standing in a doorway) a mere "excuse me" would let you by to continue on faster.
It's precisely because the roadway doesn't mirror the hallway that people get so frustrated. I have seen some pretty nasty episodes in the lines at Costco.
I think the idea is that data can move faster across a well-shielded wire and will pick up more interference and thus need to slow down for error correction.
You could also play the pirate Guybrush Threepwood in the Monkey Island series on ScummVM, as well as the Atari arcade game Skull & Crossbones on MAME.
How could the cost to distribute the CDs exceed the cost of the CDs? If that were the case, I would just go to WalMart and buy the CDs and distribute them...
You can put your SNES carts on your Wii by re-buying them cheap from the Nintendo Wii store or for free by downloading the Homebrew Channel. The Homebrew Channel has lots of emulators.
Yes, because as long as the hardware can be bricked by software, it remains an exploit that can be used by malicious software writers.
Speaking of the fried monitors, back in the day a college I worked at got a virus that fried 2 monitors before I got smart and put a Hercules monochrome card in it and cleaned it up.
So, yes, while it can (and should) be worked around in Linux, it should also be fixed in hardware, if possible.

My experience: run in XP, run in Vista, compare blur.
What's that? You didn't notice that everything was blurrier because you had nothing to compare it to?
Yeah, but it's spam, egg, sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.

Animal Farm's about the US. Read it again through that lens. You'll see I'm right.
Isn't Greenland gaining ice at a rate of ~1m/year?
Remember the planes that went down in WWII and when they went to look for them, they were 75m down in ice that had built up since.
Just because some areas are melting, doesn't mean that other areas aren't gaining ice at a very rapid rate.
Actually, it's all the applications (such as Adobe Flash) that don't work on 64-bit that are holding the industry back.
It's much easier for them to recompile than it is for us to work without certain software...

I use this in .NET:
It's not perfect, but it matches everything I've ever thrown at it. It's also nice because it gives you named groups with all the parts in it.
Yeah, Buck Rogers said so. Or was it Duck Dodgers?

It's simple.
Bush wasn't that bad in the first 4 years, and Kerry was worse.

Yeah, it's really a shame that they can't sell it.
It means you can sue Google on your own for using your stuff.
Good luck.
