Offtopic but, am I the only one who finds it ironic, and funny, that a person with the username "Defeat_Globalism" is using the World Wide Web?
If Mozilla wants Firefox to be the #1 web browser but they don't want it to be bundled with Windows how would a person with a new computer get FF?
Obviously they'd have to use IE or Opera which would then decrease Firefox's market share since the competition's browser has to be used to get on the web and then download FF.

Love that!
I've even heard of people with fairly large generators, 5000W and over, who just take the power cord from the generator and plug the other end into a wall socket sending power throughout the house.
Of course it will also go to the power line system, so if you're power is out and the power company is working on the lines by your house you may give them a bit of a shock, literally.
As for generators I would try to get a diesel generator, they're much more durable and in a pinch you may be able to use vegetable oil as a fuel.
Instead of making a commercial that's a copy of a Apple's idea, it'll be a copy of a copy, how about coming up with something original?
In a way it is what GNU/Linux has become, we chase the other guys because they have the market share but then we (users of GNU/Linux) say we're different than Windows and OS X.
The people who buy the company line are just doing it in part because it's what is thrown at them and they figure everyone else is doing it so it must be cool to own a small, white music devices or to 'lease' your music that's in a proprietary format that could disappear at the whim of a company...apparently that's better than never having to worry about your 30 GBs of mp3s suddenly becoming unplayable.
The only way to be better is to ignore what their marketing departments have come up with and listen to your friends, we are the people who make the Open Source experience and not some department that works 9 to 5, Mon to Fri.
A Blog in PCWorld is reporting about another problem with Windows Live OneCare. Apparently, it sometimes deletes the entire Outlook or Outlook Express.PST mailbox when it finds a virus in one of the messages. The only solution is to tell OneCare to exclude the entire Outlook mailbox.
From the article:
"If you get a virus in an email message received by Outlook, OneCare's next virus sweep may quarantine or delete your entire email store. If you receive a virus via Outlook Express OneCare may quarantine or delete the entire folder containing the virus."
With OneCare coming in last in antivirus tests, how will OneCare stand up in the market?
