On that note, 24 is a pretty bad name for a TV show :P For all we know someone may decide to rename Windows 7 before it ships at the last minute but at this point, it's highly unlikely as they've already released shots of the box art.

xX_Jack_Carver_Xx, an argument analogous to the John Searle's Chinese Room thought experiment would claim your supposed ability to comprehend these phenomena is no more a demonstration of your intelligence than is a complex computer program with a database able to translate questions to...

One of the first principles science (and math) students learn is nothing is obvious. Everything must be questioned and thoroughly analyzed. If you think something is obvious, then you've probably fallen for a fallacy of some sort. This is also why I question the accuracy of IQ tests. Who is to...

Meh, I'm still waiting on a ZedPM or at least a naquadah generator.:D

This is not strictly true. I own a laptop with a Core 2 Duo T9400 which is a 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo with 6MB cache on a 1066MHz FSB. In general, all you can say about the difference between the P series and the T series is the P series is Intel's more efficient line, with a 25W TDP verses the T...

My sister uses a Dell XPS M1330, and it's very light (about 4 pounds) and runs really well. You can configure it for under $1000 on Dell's website. For even light gaming, I'd recommend the Geforce 8400 GS over the integrated graphics.

LMAO, I tried typing in "I have three..." and i have three testicles comes out as the top suggestion with 320,000 other people doing the same search.

I love WUXGA. I do a lot of coding on my Dell Studio 15 (with many higher end features like a Core 2 Duo T9400 and the WUXGA display) in two windows side by side. I find it improves my productivity immensely. Yea, the text is really small and it takes some getting used to but I love having a lot...

I find the whole argument about $3000 for each employee so that they can buy HDTVs and stimulate the economy laughable. 1. When did owning an HDTV become a right of every American citizen? Do those 10,000 all really even need or want one? And yes, many (most?) HDTV manufacturers are foreign...

Considering the Internet (and specifically browsing the web) has become the most common application of a personal computer, it only makes sense that a web browser is bundled with the OS. I've never understood people's hate of all things Microsoft and all these lawsuits. It's as if everyone just...

I'm a Canadian who has worked in the U.S. here and there, and I've had to register online with DHS (Department of Homeland Security). It's not much of a hassle, takes about 10 min to fill the form.

I prefer Google Desktop regardless unfortunately it doesn't work on Vista x64 yet.

Vista search works just fine, if you want to search non-indexed locations, simply check "Include non-indexed, hidden, and systems files (might be slow)". Look up how to do advanced search queries in Vista. With a bit of practice you'll find Vista search is a lot faster and a lot more powerful...

Make sure that you have indexed the locations you want to search. Then search "ext:mp3" without the quotes.

Dell occasionally has interest-free financing deals on Studio and XPS laptops.
