Use the same passwords for things that don't really matter (forums, games that sort of thing) and memorize a small number of strong passwords for important more things, banks, important email addresses, school or work stuff. That works for me at least.

"Does Windows 7 have those "senior moments" like Vista where it will just get non responsive for like 5-15 seconds, just long enough to piss you off? How about networking, does it still slow to a crawl if you watch videos or listen to music while transferring files?"

I've been using 7 since the RC was made public and the answer to both those questions is no.

I haven't met one person offline who actually purchases music online. This might mostly be due to my demographic (25, male, Canadian) but anyone I know who isn't tech literate just gets their digital music from some less trustworthy source like limewire while the more technically literate folks use torrents.

-20 is pretty much a normal January day here, thats before wind chill is factored in. By the time winter is nearly over a warm day of -10 means its time to start wearing shortsleeve shirts again. I agree with the 50C comment though, 35C is way too hot, and 50 would require me to move into my freezer full time.

37 is still old enough to put him real close to the baby boomers. The war ened in 45. Someone who fought in the end of the war could have been 18 in 1945 and could have sill had children 27 years later at the age of 45 in 1972. Granted thats not the norm, but depending on how you define the generation (children born directly after the war or as children born to parents who served in the war) its not such a huge stretch.
