When man first tried to fly faster than sound... Let's not talk about Carl.

Comment As a former christian... (Score 1) 931

I find this study to be a load of wishful thinking propaganda. I was a fully committed christian for 20 years, before being diagnosed with bipolar in 2004. I decided I'd be better off sanity wise in 2006 if I was atheist. Since then I've been more stable and better able to cope with my depression and actually treat it rather then pray about it. Praying was a failure it never worked for me, why? There is no god to answer, religion is man-made BS used to control the morons of society.

Comment ReactOS anyone? (Score 1) 953

Before I get into that there is an issue many custom programs have to deal with and that is hardware keys, you know those ugly anti piracy plugs that use a USB, serial or parallel port that the software checks to make sure it hasn't been installed on an unauthorized machine. If it's a USB key you may be OK visualizing with VirtualBox not sure about VMWare or QEMU, but if the hardware key is other port you probably won't get it to run in a virtual machine. That said as long as the software in question doesn't really care if it runs on XP or NT it might be possible to try ReactOS.
