Let's make another big bang so we can test it.
Well, that is close to one of the objectives: of this gadget

But these people may be US citizens. Your procedure only applies to foreigners.

Just guessing: It makes them feel better about themselves.
As in 'at least were dumb enough to pose no risk whatsoever'

So a muslim fundamentalist is really an atheist nihilist?
Are you a anonymously posting-modernist philosopher?

Except that many of these degrees are by American and British universities.
The comforting idea that terrorists are stupid and/or poorly educated has been the bane of US policy.

Proof of the contrary:
Acer M5640 comes with preinstalled Windows Vista and no cd's at all.

And btw, all the hardware (sound,network,SATA,graphics) is supported out of the box by any linux live-cd I've tried.

Thanks for your insighful comment: The recovery disk images are completely useless because neither the SATA CD nor the SATA HD (or any other post IBM-PC device for that matter) work when you reinstall Vista.
It's also interesting that you think you can prove Vista is perfect by telling us that you could not install Windows 7 correctly.

The aspire one doesn't have an non-vista supported chipset.
Your only wanted to use the word ineptitude to feel better about yourself, which is fine by me.

Wait, you mean that two songs sounding the same isn't only annoying, it actually constitutes a crime?

Acer doesn't ship CD's with their desktops, and when the harddisk dies there's no drivers on that disk either.
You can find SATA drivers and burn them on CD if you have a different system available, but the SATA driver messes up the Acer SATA CD-player, so you then need a second CD drive to continue the installation.
You clearly haven't installed Windows on an empty system disk, as you seem to be unaware of these amusing practical details.

Except if Windows doesn't support your hardware; With linux you at least try a number of Live-CD's until you find something that works.

If you need a week to do that you obviously haven't tried to install Windows (say, Vista on a SATA only Acer system with nvidia chipset, endless amusement of the kind I haven't seen in Linux since the early nineties....)

Not a single democrat willing to take the job...
The party has just crawled up one notch in my esteem.

Xylomannan occurs naturally in the cell walls of red algae, so recombination genes for plants are already available...

I guess you will have to wait until VIA pays for a review as well.
