I agree, this is basically calling everyone who purchases writeable media a thief. "Oh you bought media that you can copy too? You must be stealing it from somewhere!" In my opinion, this now gives me the right to copy stuff; since I'm paying to do so. They can't have it both ways!

I work with Mac OS Leopard and Snow Leopard, Windows (XP, Vista, and 7) and Ubuntu 8 and 10; and I agree. Windows is torture. It has improved over the years, but so slowly. Certain things make no sense. Why for data backup and restore do you use two different control panels? Why is this not integrated into one; like every other data recovery program? Unfortunately it seems that Ubuntu takes a lot of it's queues from Windows rather than taking the best of either or inovating the GUI?
And yes it's a bit of a rant, and no I didn't RTFA or go to bed.
bye.

I think that Aliens was a far better movie than Alien. That said, I also wouldn't class it as a horror movie, more of a really intense action movie. But good sequels are few and far between - it's been said many times here, a good movie is not about the special effects, it's the story that matters.

Submission + - Informative shuttle Ascent Video (youtube.com)
minterbartolo writes: Photographic documentation of a Space Shuttle launch plays a critical role in the engineering analysis and evaluation process that takes place during each and every mission. Motion and Still images enable Shuttle engineers to visually identify off-nominal events and conditions requiring corrective action to ensure mission safety and success. This imagery also provides highly inspirational and educational insight to those outside the NASA family.
This compilation of film and video presents the best of the best ground-based Shuttle motion imagery from STS-114, STS-117, and STS-124 missions. Rendered in the highest definition possible, this production is a tribute to the dozens of men and women of the Shuttle imaging team and the 30yrs of achievement of the Space Shuttle Program.
