Hiya Hive! My internet is being wonky right now. I am on a school computer now. I am not sure when my net will get fixed, hopefully sometime in the next two days or so. So, I may not be around as much as I want to.

It seems quite an usual way of handling things.

Anyways, Vista takes a lot of the computer to handle. Is 7 any better in this regards, or does it eat even more of the processing power?

It is supposed to even work on those newfangled "netbooks" (or those formerly called that before the owner of the trademark complained ).

There are some suggestions in the M$ guidelines for Windows 7 that go into how to avoid power consumption and require less system resources. The background services apparently got an overhaul to lessen their resource hunger, stuff like that.

In a way, it is a "cleaned up" Windows Vista, but I am not sure it would have been possible before Vista (and Netbooks getting a mass appeal). And a lot of those Vista "breaking changes" (which is mostly the security feature related stuff, like User Account Control) are still in Windows 7. Those changes really broke down a lot of apps, but they were inevitable if you wanted to fix the security issues of Windows (and so, they didn't just break apps, they also broke viruses, trojans and other exploits.)

CBS's 60 minutes just became the laughing stock of Finland . I'll try to see if I can find the story in english for you guys...

EDIT: Well, apparently, it's all over the comments on their own page too: - CBS News Video

60 minutes is a laughing stock in the US also, but too many people take it seriously.

Bah, they'll over extend and invade Russia, where they will be soundly trounced by Russia's greatest defense, an army of Igor clones REALLY, REALLY bad weather!

Lol.

Evening Hive!

On leave for 2 weeks = Awesome, both headlight bulbs blowing as you were leaving to go out for the evening, not so awesome.

So, entertain me, I command it

Hello my baby!
Hello my honey!
Hello my rag-time gal!

Send me a kiss by wire,
Baby, my heart's on fire!

If you refuse me,
Honey, you'll lose me!
Then you'll be left alone.

Oh baby, telephone,
And tell me I'm your own. . .
