Actually most modern handguns are loaded using magazines. There is an easy way to differentiate between clips and magazines, sadly people, especially the media are most often mistaken. I'm not guaranteeing this method of differentiation has a 100% accuracy, but: If it holds bullets and is used to slide the bullets into the weapon (into it's magazine well). It's a clip. If it hold bullets and is inserted into the weapon, it's a magazine. Some people might say, they both hold bullets, what does it matter? I reply to that with this: RAM, Hard Disk Drives, they both have GB's, what does it matter?

I've used quite a few windows mobile devices, and honnestly I can't see what everyone's gripe with them is. Granted most of the ones I've worked with are PDA's, I haven't had a single complaint to date. A wide variety of software available, decent interface, what's wrong with it, someone just tell me please.

This seems like quite the case of people, oblivious of technology, deciding over a technological matter. His crimes might be illegal entering, but he didn't have to break any doors windows or locks. They were all wide open. If someone ever breaks into my house and gets caught I should sue em and get em to pay money to turn my home into an impenetrable doom fortress.

Ribbons, all fine and well. But what happened to choice. I would rather have had the choice to switch between old UI/Ribbons. Why are we forced to change to ribbons? I also am of the same opinion of many of the changes made in Vista. Is giving people choice that hard? What happened to customer satisfaction, yes even the hardened war veteraned nerds want satisfaction, and sometimes it's just as easy as giving them some older UI as a choice option.

sorry but you're making some errors in your analogies. They sound diferent: Braking fluid and fuel can both be measured in mililiters, liters,... You compared something's name (braking fluid, fuel,...) with a measuring unit (megabyte, gigabyte,...). And in that aspect: No a hard drive and RAM doesn't sound similar, not the least bit. They also look different to boot, they however don't really smell different. Not so sure about taste, never tried to eat hard drives before.
