Good times... We had fond memories of IJ and SW in those days, because at the time we only had three SW movies and three IJ movies to remember. Then George Lucas was abducted by the aliens from the fourth IJ movie (or maybe by a horde of Jar Jar Binks clones), and they lobotomized him. Next thing we know: SW prequel trilogy and IJ4.

According to a cliché touted by journalists, the correct answer is "NO"

Then your experience is different from mine. I upgraded to Windows 8, but with the "erase everything and do a clean install from scratch" option activated. Windows 8 Pro installed fast and easy, and all my printer and network configurations were picked up automagically.

By the way: Frist psot! And speaking of battery life, the same goes for Android smartphones.

(replying to myself) On the other hand, I do believe it is idiotic to punish a manufacturer because one of many possible uses for his products turns out to be illegal...

Ask the Nuremberg defendants how it went for them when they tried to put all the blame on Adolf... (Hello, Mr. Michael Godwin!)

Maybe it came from the Soylent Corporation's Mercury branch.

In Soviet Russia, meme manipulates you! That, DCHERRYHOLMES, is an example of meme manipulation.

To be fair, lobbying is something only a privileged few are "used to." Being used to lobbying is not the same as being used to getting screwed over by lobbying, which is the case for most of the USA's population.

Sorry, I meant GTA, not TGA. And BTW, I believe the expression the parent poster wanted to use was "short response time."

Motor skills and response time? The counterbalance is a lack of practical experience. There have been studies proving that old and experienced drivers tend to get involved in accidents less frequently than youngsters because, while young people may have the reflexes to react quickly to trouble, their older counterparts are much better at avoiding trouble in the first place. It often happens that, by the time a young person realizes that he has stupidly driven himself into a tight spot, it is already humanly impossible to safely steer clear of the oncoming obstacle. And no, being a great TGA player does not count as practical experience.

Please remind me never to borrow a computer from you guys. Ewww!!!

Sorry if I'm misjudging you, but you come across as very similar to those people who claim to "drive better when drunk."

And it was a teenager, too!

So, winning a raspberry award is within the reach of a group of schoolchildren? By looking at Hollywood, you would think it takes a budget of hundreds of millions of dollars to earn one! The movies that usually get them don't come cheap, you know!
