That's a sign of getting old :)

summer -- I hate snow and ice in the winter because it makes driving so hazardous.

Already got my Christmas present this year -- Samsung 55" 400+ Hz LED TV, Blue-Ray DVD player, and Bose speakers.

Not really my "favorite", but Wanted is a very very good action movie. If you liked Die Hard you will also like Wanted.

I suppose my favorite was Dune. I wore out two tapes because I watched it...

I suppose that means playing a game is more important than doing homework.

I use Norton -- yes I know its not free, but I want to keep their programmers employed :)

Agree. But I don't think severs are what we are talking about.

Oh so you don't think *nix is not just a bunch of hacked together programs??? After I installed Ubuntu and Fedora 11 they both went to their respective web sites and downloaded updates. Even after...

I'm PG-13 rated. I hate potty-mouthed comedians/movies.

What is a netbook? Never heard of that. :)

Vista has a firewall, so I suspect Windows 7 does too. There was nothing mentioned about it or antivirus during installation, unless I missed it.

Yes of course you will still need those. Windows 7 does not make all those antivirus programs obsolete.

The main reason parents don't want their minor-age kids to have sex is because sex between opposites produces babies. For a girl that will rune your life forever and ever. And guess who will get...

>>quite sure I look the new task bar so much though
The task bar doesn't look much different than Vista's.

blud: you need to invest in a blue-ray read/writer so that you can put all those movies on dvd instead of keeping them on your hd.

Just installed 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. So far so good. I did a fresh install, reformatted the hard drive, and installed fresh.

That is awesome :) Just think -- it will put all the book publishers out of business, and all those employees who run the printing presses and distribute the books out of work. Why stop with books...

If *nix drivers are so superior then why doesn't my Logitech wireless mouse work on Fedora 11 but works perfectly on Vista Home? If it were the battery then it would fail on both os.

I will admit...

The Onion is noted for its scarcasm -- something like the skits on "Saturday Night Live" TV shows. Never take anything you read on The Onion seriously.

Huh?? Its ok for MS-Windows (Windows Media Player) but not for *nix?? That doesn't make a lick of sense.

Ohhh I see now. Its like The Onion (http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread228195.html) :)

I wouldn't pay much attention to that article -- pirated copies are probably very buggy. I will wait until I get my hands on the real thing before making any pronouncements one way or the other.

Technology and lack of physical exercise are the biggest contributors to why Americans are so fat. Just watch Biggest Loser and you will see men and women who weight 400+ lbs! Americans are so fat...

I tried two different distributions of *nix (Fedora 11 and Ubuntu) over a whole week and neither of them worked the way I wanted them to. I have a 64-bit computer with 5 gig ram and 750 gig hd, I...

So do I -- but they didn't offer it in 1958 :)

Those are not computer languages. .NET is part of the Windows operating system, and VB6 is a compiler.

Only one computer at a time -- I only have two hands and one brain, which is single-tasking. I can't tap the top of my head and rub my tummy at the same time either :)

I suspect many barly know how to turn on the computer too, let alone what google is :icon_eek:

There really is no one physical manual any more, to RTFM is sort of an archaic term. 20 years ago Microsoft used to ship all the manuals with their compiler. But they stopped doing that when the...

Just how big is your bank account anyway? Did you take your own silly advice?

Yes, nearly 100% of the citizens of Iraq voted and Saddam Hussein won 100% of those votes during the "election". But I would not have called that a democracy. Dictatorships are sometime disguised...

Agree with that statement -- its too difficult for us to remove a President from office. But I don't know any alternatives -- our government does not have a monarchy who can dissolve congress and...

See, this is why I quit talking to you, because you are incapable of holding a conversation without insults and name calling.
