you can't prove there's no hidden volume squirreled away in the "empty" part
That is true as long as an adversary does not have access to the disk contents already. If you were able to look at the encrypted volume and its free space over the course of time, you would see changes in "free space" every time the hidden volume is used.
You ever got home and your computer was suddenly turned off?
I'll only update when hardware requirements force me to -- that is, when my current machine breaks down. Or, when a vital piece of software forces the upgrade.
That just says you're not the target audience, mr. AC. Then why would anyone listen to you when it comes to making design decisions?
Why has it always been so slow to log on to a domain in Windows?
It isn't that bad. If it takes any longer than 4-5 seconds to authenticate and process your user policies and scripts then you're doing it wrong.
it can still sit there for minutes
It kinda depends on what you mean by 'there'.
In smaller environments, additional time is usually caused by:
* incorrect network setup (dns, usually)
* insane synchronous startup/logon scripts or those that do "software deployment". Those are a damn joke.
* roaming profile that has become way too big.
The "always wait for the network at startup" setting in computer policies may help. It ensures that all services are started and GPO processing has completed before the logon screen is presented. It may take a while longer before the user may enter his credentials, but the desktop then appears more responsive sooner. A particular example is when there are instances of SQL Express installed on a laptop, for whatever purpose, that can really stall the logon process as the database server is still starting.
Also, first logging on and then leaving for hot beverage is not always an option because of company policy against unlocked desktops.
In some cases, like very large corporate environments, there is a lot to take care of at logon time. In enterprise desktop provisioning, you can't tie anything to a computer because the user may log on from any system, not just a roaming desktop but Citrix, VDI, whatever, so all of the desktop setup has to take place at that point as if you were a new user.
At least, for now, on Steam, you're still buying a multiplayer game : http://store.steampowered.com/app/12750/
The game also has split-screen mode (party mode) so this is technically correct. The online part was removed from the description, however.
AC: The above trick is also pretty good if you don't want to stare at someone's eyes but you don't also want to start looking around either.

if XP works for you, stick with it
Now, there's the problem. Within a few months time, it will get increasingly more difficult to find business desktops and laptop systems that will run XP. The consumer already has no choice. That's what "support" means. PC manufacturers, developers, everyone who's getting along, will no longer develop and test products for XP. This better sinks in: in a year's time, it's virtually impossible to get new (business class) hardware that runs this ancient OS. If you need to replace, update, upgrade or expand, you will be stuck, and you will be forced into migration at the least convenient moment.
"Stick with XP". No, that's really good advice.
