Well, when I have more then 8 windows open, I can't read them all, and know which one I want to click to get, The :alt win key, and tab win keys with Aero just dont do it for me, I really like it the old way better. I do like hovering over the taskbar entry and seeing the mini screen of the page, but I don't like that if I have 3 of the same thing open. Then it is no help at all. It's why english was created, and we words, we don't all just draw pictures all day to communicate.

"Who told you that oil is scarce?" All resources by economic definition are scarce. When demand exceeds supply, the price goes up, all other factors equal. "It takes 15 to 20 years to build test and begin to run an oil refinery. Our nation is 30 years behind the demand curve. You see it is not lack of oil it is our tiny refining capacity." I agree, however, if there will be an end to a particular resource, such as oil, then it is wise, to invest in other sources of po

Global warming may be a myth. The science I look at, tends to be not entirely conclusive. Maybe it is all wrong, maybe in part wrong. Maybe it is a jump to a conclusion that is incorrect. Oil on the other hand is a resource, and like all resources it is a scarcity. As it become more scarce and the demand remains the same, the price increases, in a flexible market, proportionally. The price of oil is climbing, and the demand continues to climb, the supply, can only be getting s

I have to take back the comments on the speech engine. I think it's an improvement over XP. But it still fucks up a lot and is clunky. It also doesn't go fast enough for me.

"Actually, Dan, you're quite entitled to whine about Vista if you like, especially if it's not performing as you'd like/need, but please be aware that there are some nuts around here (I shan't mention any names) who'll have some fun at your expense." Well there'll be more then a few, who read it, and decide to just wait on Vista, which is what I would have done, had I read my article. Unfortunately I sometimes have to try things myself against the intel and insight from others. <br

"Switching to 32bit Vista will allow you to run 16-bit programs again." Can't do that with the OEM VISTA, which is bullshit for an Ultimate product. Why do I need 2 OS's from MS to run things that were originally programmed to run on their stuff in the past?

I was actually thinking on A&E, on the same program, being reinstated by them. I could see how another network could pick them up, or at least say they are until the masses bitch about it. I'm surprised IMUS has made the recovery he has, which has largely gone unnoticed/unrefuted by the masses as well. I don't think he'll have to kill himself Whip. LOL.

"may have their own defintions for them. Why don't you spell out yours." Well here are a few things I would have included in the Vista Ultimate package. 1. Better Speech Recognition The Vista Speech Recognition menu is slightly faster but it doesn't seem to recognize my speech any more effectively than XP. Which is sad. Gates said that he saw us using verbal speech to communicate with our computers much more than typing way back in the 70's/80's. For sure it would be fas

Ah yes again GPG.net, one of the lamest implementers of a great RTS game to debut yet another product with a failure for launch. Lets review the bugs/ misses with features with the previous launch. A. Poor system performance on great top of the line sysems B. Crashes in long term games C. Instability in any games due to optimization lackings D. Lack of features standard in RTS games, i.e. the pointer and sound the alarm rocket, from AOE and Starcraft back in 1997-9

Dog is one of those kind of impulsive people who might actually kill himself in this situation. Maybe I'm wrong, but he does go to far in a lot of different areas, not to joke about it.

And given the general treatment of sports towards anyone involved in gambling, his chances appear very slim." Yup, there's always the chance there will be

"you people have condemned them both with out going to court and in the case of dog. there is no reason for a court case. unless he sues his son for invasion of privacy" If you are talking about Vick. He pleaded guilty to the charges I believe, and offered a public apology. Dog hasn't been charged with any crime but he clearly made the statements, as they are on tape, whatever the context, being in the public domain they probably violate the terms of the deal with A & E, which is why he
