Comment Personal Experience (Score 2) 229

From personal experience, as a smoker for 15 years, smoking upwards of 2 packs a day, switching to vape HAS made a tremendous impact on my bank account and how I feel. It tastes better than cigarettes (DUH!), my lungs don't hurt, I don't wheeze anymore, my car doesn't smell like ciggarettes, and I don't have ashes everywhere. Switching to vapor has been a solid WIN for me. I have been vaping almost 4 years now and successfully quit smoking. I thought one day I would try and smoke a ciggarette and I couldn't finish it and thought, how the HELL did I start doing this in the FIRST place! So honestly, I don't see how vaping could LEAD a person to smoking...that to me is INSANE. Only a weak minded fool would do that...sadly there are too many of those around.

Comment Silly argument (Score 1) 192

This argument is silly "We do not want to make it impossible to contact family, first responders or medical professionals in an emergency situation.". The people that have not turned in their Note 7 and gotten a replacement phone that won't explode would be able to contact family, first responders, or medical professionals IF they did turn in their phones. The phone is dead people! There are no software updates, no new versions of Android, no new features, no support whatsoever. Just turn in the phone, get a new one and when Samsung releases the next version of whatever BIG ass phone you want, get it.

Comment Re:They said the same about XP (Score 1) 821

XP had a lot of compatibility problems with hardware and drivers were scarce initially. It wasn't until SP2 that XP became good. I think people forget that fact when they sit around and bash Vista. I really like Vista and Win7 is much faster. The main thing I don't like about Vista is the Visual Studio debugger detaches itself from IIS after a very short period of being on a break point and being idle.

Comment Re:Hardware demands match? (Score 1) 785

I agree competely. My expeirience with Windows 7 has been very positive. On my hardware, Windows 7 x64 leaves Vista x64 in the dust in all aspects of performance. To me, and the type of computing I do (.NET Development) this version will be a worthy upgrade when it RTM's. I was very surprised to find that the it was able to detect and install all but one driver I needed to make my media card reader work. Although, I have to say the "super bar" is going to take some getting used to, but overall the UI refinements made are welcome.
