only tested Windows 2000, and not XP or Vista, both combined are far more used than 2000 Still, 2000 has more (desktop) users than Linux. By your logic, if there were a similar problem in Linux, it would be less of a problem?
I'll start today by throwing away my Linux PC, where I develop my shitty hobbyist games, and just buy a Playstation and a Mac! It will be great, I don't even have to think anymore. Maybe I'll just think about which of the many hot girls that will instantly be throwing at my arms I will hit first. Wo-hooo!!!!
Don't forget the NO-RAPTORS t-shirt, at http://xkcd.com/store
Say no to velociraptors (and all other members of the dromaeosaurid family). By wearing this shirt, you make your position clear: you do NOT want to be hunted down and eaten by raptors.
High temperatures of 1 billion Kelvin (100 keV) have been reached years ago. I don't know about you, but I don't feel comfortable with of these on a cellphone in my pocket.
You mean, like Knuth's TeX?
The intervals between such maintenance periods are increasing, because the systems have been converging to an error-free state. The latest and best TeX is currently version 3.141592 (and plain.tex is version 3.1415926); METAFONT is currently version 2.71828 (and plain.mf is version 2.71). All these systems are Y2K-compliant. My last will and testament for TeX and METAFONT is that their version numbers ultimately become $\pi$ and $e$, respectively. At that point they will be completely error-free by definition.

Since the spam gets deleted after 30 days, and I never delete it manually, it tells me how many spam I get monthly. You can clearly see the worm spikes.. it was around 1,000 back in early 2006, slowly grew to 2,000 by the end of that year, peaked at 2,500, then went back to 1,200. Now it's on the rise again, at 2,209 right now.
A good way to know about the boot process is to install Linux From Scratch.
I always got annoyed about things that run on my computer that I don't know what it is, and if removing it would break anything. LFS clarified for me many dark-spots about the boot process. I even ran the installed system for almost a year, but it got harder to keep up-to-date with package versions, and I came back to using a normal distro.
"Adell was just drunk enough to try, just sober enough to be able to phrase the necessary symbols and operations into a question which, in words, might have corresponded to this: Will mankind one day without the net expenditure of energy be able to restore the sun to its full youthfulness even after it had died of old age?
Or maybe it could be put more simply like this: How can the net amount of entropy of the universe be massively decreased?
Multivac fell dead and silent. The slow flashing of lights ceased, the distant sounds of clicking relays ended.
Then, just as the frightened technicians felt they could hold their breath no longer, there was a sudden springing to life of the teletype attached to that portion of Multivac. Five words were printed: INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR MEANINGFUL ANSWER.

It's not pleasure, it's profit.
I agree.
This should be handled by ALSA, on the audio driver level.
Man, that's the best advice I ever had. Thanks!

In Japan, the land of the cool gadgets.
Does it also mean "no karma onus", if I'm moderated down?
I don't get those big gray blocks. It's ugly and useless.

Why can't I mod it "+1 Troll"?
Still, Gmail's web user interface is better than any local email client.
I got impressed this is not in the post of this story, but obviously I woke up late and somebody would mention it first.
Mod parent up!
What's wrong with seeing the spam count?
Since the spam gets deleted after 30 days, and I never delete it manually, it tells me how many spam I get monthly.

No, you're not.
I get one or two every day.

But how much open will be that?
Will I be able to use it without my data going through Google routers?
Yeah, a search giant needs a browser giant. :)
Do you have any client in Argentina?
I don't know why, but it has no data (apart from satellite photos) for the country:
