As a 7 beta tester who has posted multiple feedback, and actually had replies, I have to say they are at least trying.

I believe they sort through them to find the people that might actually have a good idea of whats going on, and act upon those because they actaully have somewhere to start and head toward.

If you want to be heard, leave a good analysis of whats going on and maybe some suggestions as well.
They arent just going to hire people to go through these and analyze the 12 different bugs that 12,000 people are complaining about.

To me at least, it appears they are trying.

Or the kind of servers that open source software companies can buy and manage. Or should I say server..
Unfortunately, they dont have a huge repetour of games and donations to fund better servers.
They never stood a chance against /.

How is bundling Firefox going to be any different from bundling IE?
Dont force anybody to use any browser.
Give them a choice.
Bundle none of the browsers,or bundle ALL of the leading browsers and let people try them all out before deciding.
Of course that gets kind of complicated and time consuming for most people.
I would suggest that on first startup, a window pops up as soon as you have a network connection displaying choices to download Firefox, IE, or Opera, with another option to show more of the less used browsers.
And maybe a "shut up microsoft and let me install what I want by myself" option.

Its not about what the guy did with the player.
He obviously did the right thing, instead of trying to sell it to the Russians.
The issue is more of why someone thought it was ok to put this information on an MP3 player of all things, and then sell it without even trying to delete anything.

I agree, but i dunno about the FBI or CIA.
They should just figure out which officer's MP3 player it was and question him about what other kinds of security he may have accidentally released to the public.

And also, if the information was about a mission that was put into action long ago, it may not have any real value to anyone anyway. It doesnt seem like there should be much alarm in this case, but it does raise questions about security in general.

Because your main admin account doesnt have a password.
If it did, it would ask for that.
Note that the account you see at logon != the hidden admin account, even if you named it "Administrator"

I believe Steve Ballmer actually said something like "Windows 7 is essentially Windows Vista v1.2"

Citation needed, I read it on google news

Wasnt technology supposed to be the future?

Im sorry, I cant see using DVDs as reliable long term backup.
I have yet to buy a pack of DVDs that last longer than a couple months, even at slower burning speeds.
The dvds from the last 100 pack I bought only last a week or two at the most, but I guess thats what you get for buying the cheapest ones you see.
I doubt blank blue ray media will be any more reliable.
And lets face it, burning 58GB of data will take far too long to do, especially if you have to burn at 2x or 4x speed to retain reliability like in the case of blank DVDs

Upon first reading about this, I was wondering:

Wouldnt an elevator protruding from our atmosphere release our precious oxygen into the vacuum of space?
I mean, if you blow a really big soap bubble, and shove a straw into with the bubble still intact, wouldnt it deflate in a lower-pressured environment?

"Plus, if you still have your wisdom teeth, it's nice to know you're walking around with your own source of stem cells."

I knew I was keeping those for a reason

On a laptop its not as nice unfortunately. It IS definitely faster than Vista, but not XP. And finding drivers was an absolute mess. I use my laptop mainly for school, and going to from class to class I usually repeatedly put my laptop to sleep, which has worked fine. But windows 7 just refuses to perform quickly or entirely properly after waking up the computer. It could be an isolated incident, but I have to restart it to get the same performance. In spite of anything though, I really do like this new flavor of OS and I think MS is going to do well with it.
