In honor of the release of Windows Vista, a gallery of the Blue Screen of Death throughout the ages: [link]
Wow, the BSOD dates back to Windows 1.1.
Early beta versions of Windows Vista (dubbed "Longhorn") displayed a Red Screen of Death when boot errors were encountered. The red screen was a rare treat for Longhorn testers -- all other crashes in the OS brought up the familiar blue screen. The final version of Vista preserves the BSOD legacy for the next generation.
Cool!

umm, perhaps you do not want to be rugby queen. Around here, they put you on their shoulders and sing rude songs at you until you pour beer on them. Or maybe you'd like that.
I was just reading this piece in Salon about journalists dealing with the immediate feedback from the 'net. I'm not exactly sure what the point was, because sometimes I'm dumb, but I just kept thinking, "Dude, where have you been?"
All I got from it was that sometimes letters are good and have merit, and there are a lot of jackholes on the internet.
Oh Salon, what has become of you?
I tried to read that story, but it was three pages of "Writing is HARD" and "People are MEAN" and tl;dr.
TOTALLY, Dana.
I hate that "writing is hard" horseshit.

It's like that at these games with the added bonus of the dirty, sweaty men having to do everything you say, as long as you don't make them leave the beer.

I fail to see the problem with that scenario.
See? Trouble.
I have a real problem with articles that set up a dichotomy between "writers" and "bloggers." I mean, bloggers write, and many writers blog. It's like they think there are some wild gang of space-alien bloggers out there. I'm kind of surprised that Salon went there - hello, you are an ONLINE magazine.
