Reading this thread makes me happy. :) People are informed about the drawbacks! Windows Vista is a paradigm shift that's for sure. Not using Vista is the statement you want to be in charge of your own computer and not hand over control to an unknown entity. I have this small conspiracy theory...

That was surely a harmless list. If you want to get in real trouble, read Jihad by Imam Shaheed Hasan Al-Banna, on an airplane. For extra effect, don't read the translated version.

I have written about this before, but I think it deserves another post. A TV-network is in the business of selling advertisement. Sure, we viewers pay a small fee to watch their shows, but the main income comes from selling ad space. It obviously follows that a small network with few viewers...

Am I the only one who thought the episode was painfully bad? In season 1, the show was about a mysterious hole in the ground. Season 2 was about mysterious "others" in the forest. And now, we have a mysterious town on the island? Whats next, in the season 4 premier we will learn about the...

The current gold price is 590 USD/Oz if you want the real thing, which would be rather expensive props. :) Liberty Dollars were ruled illegal last week btw. http://intlib.blogspot.com/2006/09/us-mint-claims-norfed-are-federal.html

You don't have any idea what you're talking about. Haven't you heard? The reason people don't care about the theatre anymore is because of piracy! ;)

I would actually make the bold claim here that optical zoom is not at all that important, at least for most people. The zoom option is mostly a toy people use because they are to lazy to walk closer, not because they really need to :) Let's face it, most people use cameras to take photos of...

"Passive aggressive" sounds like a descriptive term of Ford Prefects hunting technique in the The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. I quote:

The difference between memory is mainly cost, capacity (as in megabytes), size (as in physical size). The most common type is probably Compact Flash. It doesn't really matter what kind of memory the camera uses. I do belive SD/xD-cards are expansive at the moment though. The difference between...

If you use gmail there's a nice trick you can use to keep track of what site sold/gave your e-mail to spammers. Whenever you give someone your e-mail address (except for friends), append +something right before the @. For example, when you sign up to The Dog Site, don't write pete@gmail.com...

Well, that's a cynical way to see things. In Finland for example, Firefox has over 30% share. Computer savvy users in general don't use IE (I work on a computer hardware news site and IE is down below 50%). Sure, if you want a serious disadvantage compared to other websites about the same...

The CSS-support in IE is very poor and doesn't follow the standards. Firefox is much better in this regard. So it's probably not Firefox you should blame. You can validate your CSS here: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ It will check if your CSS follows the defined standard.

That's pretty much exactly +50%. Whatever that means.

Planescape Torment/Fallout is pretty deep in a computer game sense. Other than that most good games challange you in a way such it feels you've accomplished something, otherwise it would just be a waste of time. A "hybrid" here is probably MMORPG:s such as World of Warcraft which are very...

I vote for Unorthodox Underpants Gnomes! It's gnomes, it's D&D, and the resulting banner will be in line with the rest of Unorthodox' products, AND it will most certainly be a hilarious product! Win-win for all! 1. Write book about Underpants Gnomes 2. ? 3. Profit!

So, for kicks I bought a Yamaha 61-key keyboard today. I have never played a musical instrument in my entire life but somehow I've managed to learn how to play the left and right hand of a simplified version of Canon. The problem is of course using both hands simultaneously, and while I was...

I remember reading an article about this. A comic book author described it was more entertaining to draw large round objects or something like that. I personally appreciate artists who don't paint _every_ female with huge boobs, not because of some kind of ideological reason but because really...

I would love to see Fallout 3. The first fallout is eigth years old, hopefully this game counts.

That's like saying it's okay if movies are 10 hours long - if you don't like it stop watching after 2 hours. I disagree. I am not saying all TV-shows should be one season. I am saying, there are no justifiable reason whatsoever for a ten year show except possible for shows with stand-alone...
