What about an Artline felt-tip if it needs to be ink? You can get 0.2mm ones, and they are great.
Or, if it doesn't have to be ink, my not a mechanical pencil? No bleeding, no ink-lag, and you can get nice dark 4B refills.
Reinstalling is a drastic workaround to a problem where a solution exists. The time it takes to clean a single bad infection is minimal compared to reinstalling Windows, installing the software and tweaking your settings to make sure that everything is how you like it. It takes a good 2 or 3 hours to just install XP and associated programmes. Then tweaking over a few weeks.
Next time I reinstall Windows I'm going to Ghost the drive once I've got set up how I like it.
I'm really looking forward to buying myself a new computer and having previous generation graphics hardware in there. It's in the right dollar bracket for me and will be enough for me to play the games I want to play.
It's nearly all about game-play for me, so I'm happy to turn the graphics down until the framerate is high enough to make the game playable.
I have to turn the graphics down a lot to play the new games on my GeForce 2 MX-200...

I think the boys from They Might Be Giants summed it up best.
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
Yo ho, it's hot, the sun is not
A place where we could live
But here on Earth there'd be no life
Without the light it gives
We need its light
We need its heat
We need its energy
Without the sun, without a doubt
There'd be no you and me
The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
A gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium
At a temperature of millions of degrees
The sun is hot
It is so hot that everything on it is a
gas: iron, copper, aluminum, and many others.
The sun is large
If the sun were hollow, a million
Earths could fit inside. And yet, the
sun is only a middle-sized star.
The sun is far away
About 93 million miles away, and that's why it looks so small.
And even when it's out of sight
The sun shines night and day
The sun gives heat
The sun gives light
The sunlight that we see
The sunlight comes from our own sun's
Atomic energy
Scientists have found that the sun is a huge
atom-smashing machine. The heat and light of
the sun come from the nuclear reactions of
hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and helium.

I know this was a sarcastic post most likely, but while you are free falling, you are physically experiencing zero gravity.
No. When you are free-falling, you are experiencing acceleration due to gravity of 9.81(ish*) m/s^2. What isn't experienced is the upwards force keeping you stationary on the ground. There's a (massive) difference.
I bungy-jumped a couple of weeks ago and can't remember experiencing any dramatic changes in gravity. It was pulling me towards the ground for the entire jump.
Where I work we have an in-house developed Outlook add-on that allows us to file e-mails to the related project directory and then retrieve them by any of the fields it stores (sender, recipient, subject, date, body-text, attachment name) and you can set it to strip out attachments as separate files or just delete them or keep them in the e-mail system.
This gives us the paper-trail that's required and reduces the load on the Exchange server and our network when we change computers.
It works well, in my opinion. It's getting the hoarders to use it that causes the problems. There are people in the office with 1,500 e-mails in their inbox, pretty much all of them flagged with the 6 colours that Outlook allows.
I currently have 88 items in my inbox, which according to the article means, unfortunately enough, that I'm normal.
A lady in our office uses something called a Nomus. It's developed by a Swedish company and is like a laptop track-pad, but with endstops for left and right that continue to move the cursor. It has buttons for left and right handed use and doesn't require any settings to be changed to change hands.
I hate it, but she loves it and says it relieves her neck, arm and hand pains.

Silly putty? So glass is shear-thickening? Cool...
There are lenses in very old telescopes that still function perfectly. If glass flowed at room temperature they would become distorted.
Yes, because watching 6 good movies in a row AUTOMATICALLY means your penis has never been inside a vagina.
So a male homosexual who has never had male/female intercourse but plenty of male/male intercourse is destined to be a virgin all his life?
How on earth can parent be moderated funny!? Murdering people because of their religious beliefs? That's way uncool.

I think Tom Loveless is suffering from a variant of nominative determinism with that finding.
pretty powerful nuclear furnace.

I am more afraid of the countries/groups who have nuclear capabilities but aren't telling anyone - should they exist.

It's been alleged that the way that Trinity hacks into a computer system in The Matrix is quite realistic.
My boss had a mobile-phone charger that connected to a USB port about three years ago. It worked a treat.
I disable virtual memory on computers with more than 1GB of ram unless the user is going to be manipulating large images. Never had a problem yet.
Allegedly. What does it stand for again? Spayed Ham?
