"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Huh. Too bad. Maybe in the future.

I'm still waiting for them to ubiquitize the satellite radio so that I can also play my mp3s on the handheld unit. And it should also provide satellite internet access, including while traveling and in motion and on planes. And a phone. And maybe something where I can watch cooking shows and push a button and have the meal instantaneously delivered.

Don't forget 'walking the dog' while you're at it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Screenshots of the new Windows.

Wow. It looks...exactly like what Windows has looked like for about a decade, except for making it look more superficially like Mac.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Not surprisingly, Microsoft still seems to be giving script-kiddies, and other shitheads, plenty of opportunities to cause problems for non-technical users.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I recently did a complete Win XP reinstall on my home PC -- reformatted the hard drive, the whole 9 yards. I also installed some memory intensive apps (the latest Adobe and Macromedia suites) and upgraded my ram with two 1GB sticks. Since then, the 'puter has been crashing a lot. Is it fair to say the memory is probably the culprit? What's the best way to test this? Should I take out 1 stick and try running for a while, and then take out the other stick and do the same? Are there any applets that can test for this?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Jon, I assume you've installed all the Windows updates too?

Yeah, I'd do the RAM swapping thing you've described. Norton Utilities might also be of use for testing the RAM. I don't know if there area any good alternatives to Norton out there.

eta: Before you do the RAM swapping thing, I'd pull both RAM sticks and re-seat them carefully, and then see if that helps.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There might be some tests you could run from the BIOS.

Coding and Sleeping

Wow. It looks...exactly like what Windows has looked like for about a decade, except for making it look more superficially like Mac.

It also looks like KDE.
