Not surprisingly, Microsoft still seems to be giving script-kiddies, and other shitheads, plenty of opportunities to cause problems for non-technical users.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

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.

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

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.

Thanks for the tips, Toms.

It looks like a parody of the Mac interface. Apple has been backing away from the more cutsey aspects of their UI lately.

OK, so I got an xsl template with a bunch of stuff, including this
<xsl:value-of select="notes" />
It works fine, except it's ignoring carriage returns. How do I get the output to include carriage returns for this particular node?

According to the XML Specification, carriage returns are stripped from the XML document before processing occurs.
