But unlike WinME you can actually purchase hardware that will work under Vista and work well. Personally, I've not had a single issue with Vista. I had some initial problems with getting Ubuntu64 installed due to lack of NIC support, but that was taken care of within a month (same for Suse and Mandriva too).
I lived for a few years near Charleston SC. I had Knology cable/internet service there. They had no problem disconnecting everything except internet service for $35/mo unlimited usage in 2004. I have no idea if their plans have changed recently.
What does stop 'grunts' is the ability of the military to use non-judicial punishment because you'd be breaking a 'local' rule. I know of a few guys who were 'awarded' a loss of a month of pay for similar violations. That doesn't stop anyone from using personal items on their personal hardware, just personal items on government hardware.
If I had mod points you'd have them, but next time don't go so in-depth with the auto industry. You may have gone over some peoples heads by not explicitly calling them 'car makers'.
Who googles their flu symptoms every time they get the flu? Beyond searching for some strange illness, why would anyone google symptoms? I think the only thing 'good' coming from this is determining the population density of hypocondria.
If you don't have a cap then you're likely in a very developed area. I live in a less developed area and am stuck with wireless broadband to a T3 trunk. Sure my latency is great, but my cap is 600M per day. That's not a rolling average either, that's a "soft" cap. If I go over I get a hand delivered letter letting me know that I used 601M yesterday!
I didn't see a reason to buy Vista until I built my newest PC. My old hardware wasn't powerful enough and lacked DX10. When I bought my E8400 and 9800GTX it was time. I went with Vista Home Premium 64 for system builders ($100 on newegg). I haven't had a single Vista related problem. Unfortunately my NIC is unsupported under linux at the moment until the next kernel rev, so I use VMware to get what I need done (Vista saves the day).
I personally went HD back in 2003. Because I went in too soon I'm not HDCP compliant. (You can spare me the 'bleeding edge' comments) I am fully aware that I can get *yet another box* to allow me to play BD content via DVI at full resolution, but why the hell should I? It's only the clueless public that blindly accepts forced tech that has put us in this situation.

Except that none of us use IE, so they could very well block the same domains in IE7's phishing filter and we'd never know it.
While you may not use IE, some of us do. Just use the right tool for the right job.
Case and point: My online college coursework sometimes disappears if submitted using FF3. Using IE8 beta does not (and it worked fine under IE7 as well).
Yet another case and point: Flash videos under Ubuntu 8.04 with FF3 crash the browser every 4th video. FF3 under windows works without a hitch.
So why does she bother to "hide" using a non government email address when she believes the world will end within her lifetime? Makes you wonder which side of her mouth tells the truth doesn't it?
The summary also infers that the transformer somehow directly cools the LHC. While you can create a cooling via the Peltier effect, from what I have read they use super-fluid Helium in some sort of standard refrigeration cycle. I'm sure that for the type of cooling they need, they just didn't have the power via other means to run their reefers at full capacity.
I went with the Creative Labs Zen Vision M instead of the iPod. All of the iPod people who tried it didn't like the interface. I tried using their iPod and found it to be clumsy compared to the Zen interface. To each their own.
Having served on a Navy ship I can point out a few problems:
First, sea water temperatures vary greatly depending on the part of the world you're operating in. It's not uncommon for surface sea water temps to be in the 85F(30C)+ range for most areas where you're likely to moor a ship. The AC units that we used were barely able to keep the small server room that I ran cool under those conditions.
Second, the motion of the ship caused premature drive failures due to the pitch and roll of the ship. This could be alleviated with solid state drives, but that's a bit off for a data center at the moment.
Lastly, bandwidth and latency are problematic. Sure, Google could just buy a satellite, but they can't modify the 2000ms latency. Depending on ship size and sea conditions, keeping a satellite lock may be an issue as well due to roll.
All I can really say to Google is, good luck with all that!
You cannot install an upgrade copy of windows without an older copy to 'upgrade' from. It is a requirement.
That's not entirely true. You can do a full install of Vista using only an upgrade disk. It just requires a partial install, a reboot, then the full install.
It's not exactly apples and oranges...Just sayin'.
Normally I'd agree with you. Unfortunately, I also have Ubuntu 8.10 with FF3 and flash 9 and I have the same problem. I've found various work arounds, and none that I have tried have worked. I won't post links to what I've tried for Ubuntu because none of it has worked. The only thing I haven't tried is rolling back to a 7.x release, which I'm sure would work just fine. My work around is to just boot to WinXP.
I admin 2 Windows Server 2003 networks. I've only been the admin for about 8 months so far, but I've only ever restarted for problems from non-MS software and for updates. Before I took over, the admin was just a supervisor who had no formal IT training what-so-ever. He managed to keep things running smoothly for the previous year with no snags as well.

I totally agree. Eternal Darkness was quite good.

Between this and bittorrent we can cause the meltdown everyone has been predicting, or life will go on as always.

1. Satellite Internet. $80/mo for 17gb 30 day rolling average
2. Dialup. Need I say more?
3. Local Wireless Broadband. T3 trunk accessed wirelessly. $80/mo 600mb per day limit (yes per DAY). Unlimited access for $250/mo
4. Get my own T1. Around $350/mo for the lowest available package up to $1000/mo.(varies by area)
I've seriously been considering buying my own T1 and setting up a co-op with a few people nearby.
If you don't have a cap then you're likely in a very developed area. I live in a less developed area and am stuck with wireless broadband to a T3 trunk.

My GRUB prompts me what I'd like to run, is that stupid?

I agree, this is hardly news.

I wasn't making an apples to apples comparison, simply pointing out a few problems that your average landlubber may not consider.

This is pretty much your guide to getting it done.
You cannot install an upgrade copy of windows without an older copy to 'upgrade' from. It is a requirement.
That's not entirely true. You can do a full install of Vista using only an upgrade disk. It just requires a partial install, a reboot, then the full install.

Why does the title ask 3 years from now, while the article is written for 4 years? Is this in relation to seven minute abs?
