Microsoft recently released an update to address this with the disk clean up utility. It has come in handy on both servers and workstations. http://support.microsoft.com/k...

"3d will always remain a cute gimmick..." You should never speak in absolutes.

I would think this is because most people who own the cars having the problems are over 50. They tend to be more expensive and not exactly play to the younger crowd.

I use gamespot.com and they give out scores of 1, 2, and 3 a lot. Plus a lot of average scores for average games. Since '96 I've found them to be accurate.

I think you're doing two things: 1.) Being dramatic; 2.) Applying your one experience to an entire system. I went to public school, thought it was great. I have relatives of all grades in public school now, and they're doing wonderfully. I certainly wouldn't "weep for this generation of public school children".

Now you're talking about comparison. If the poll you mentioned was up, I would choose average because I would think of the Slashdot crowd.

Our company bought 500 of them for a, now failed, project. I was really impressed. We got to play around with the Enterprise, Personal, and Basic. They work well with virtualized applications too. Virtualize that VPN client, put it on the stick, and you're good to go. By the way if anyone wants some for CHEAP, we've got a few :)

I prefer Svedka vodka mixed with whatever is handy. Probably why I like most movies I watch and why can watch them over and over again. Sometimes the endings are a bit fuzzy :)

Just wondering why the wide blanket over a musical genre. Was it just to modded up or do you believe that? I find it hard to believe that a musical genre that gave a voice to a generation and people could all be "crap".

I agree with your statement, "if I make it to 60 under the same quality of life I have now, I'll be peachy fucking keen." Problem is if you keep drinking, smoking (cannabis), and smoking (tobacco) your quality of life won't be the same when you're 60. I was just like you at 23, I'm now 30. I had to quit smoking, developed asthma, and had to start a diet and exercise, put on 60 pounds. I've lost the weight and haven't smoked in 2 years. Let me tell you the 7 years were rough ones and I can feel them.

Of course we would. We had 8 years of evidence that they ran the most corrupt administration of all time. This is early on for Obama, if it becomes a theme, then I suspect we'll be saying it's all Obama's fault. "No, it doesn't. But, the GP's point is correct: if this had been a member of Bush's administration, this article would already have 500 comments of wailing about how it was Bush's fault, Cheney's fault, and the fault of neo-cons, the Illuminati, FBI, CIA, RIAA, MPAA, etc.... Can you say "partisan"? I knew you could."

I started at my current company two years ago. They had transformer names. The learning curve was a few months. Some made sense. Postal was the mail server and Rewind was the backup server. But Hound and Mirage were the DNS servers. We now do functional names, mostly for the outside consultants, makes things easier.
