"The obvious conclusion is that it is probably deadly in all mammals." Why is it obvious?

Buy a bottom of the line Dell. Then buy one exactly like it. Setup your Dad's system on one. Make a ghost (or similar imaging tool) image of the system once you do have it set up. Burn it to a DVD and put it with the second cheap dell on a shelf somewhere. Use the burned DVD and second Dell if you need to.

As usual, if you examine the context in which this report comes out you can see she has some ulterior motives. First off is her background. PhD from UC Berkley in 1981. If Berkley isn't left leaning I don't know what university is. Does this necessarily make her science wrong? No. Does this mean that she is biased toward one desired outcome? Yes. Second, the Nobel Prize she obtained by being a member of the UN's IPCC. Could she possibly have come out with a report saying that climate change has slowed, or halted, or 'gasp' even reversed? Wouldn't that mean that the science behind the IPCC global warming findings were wrong? How could she get funding for more research? It seems that she is entrenched now in this mantra, and in order to keep getting the funds & professional accolades she needs to keep selling the fear. Third, now is the time to publish such a report. Strike while the iron is hot, while the new president isn't completely bogged down by the economy, while the ink in his pen flows freely and all things can change. Should we reduce man-made CO2 emissions? Surely. However, i'm afraid that partisan agendas--not legitimate scientific research--are far more of a threat to our future.

Win ME: - same kernel as win98, same file system. - slightly changed the GUI menus, altered access to DOS in order to speed up boot times. - included windows movie maker, so people can make shiny home videos. I think we all can agree Windows ME was a clusterf*ck. Basically MS changed win 98 ever so slightly, and then repackaged it as a new os. Win Vista: - same kernel (minor changes to the way Ntoskrnl.exe handles MMCSS for seamless video playback) again, shiny! - changes the menus around, and offers the 'slick' aero UI. Shiny trifecta complete. Vista is a dressed up version of XP. They put XP in a room with Win Media Center edition and had them go at it. Out comes Vista, which shares the same pedigree as Win ME. I work at a law school, 200+ employees w/ 400+ computers. I'd like to never upgrade them to vista. Unless some decision maker (guy w/ the money and no clue how to attach a picture to an email) makes me, I never will. Linux? Please. Reason? See desc. of boss, X that by 1/3 # of employees.
