I felt like I really had to reread the previous book to make sense out of the beginning. A two or five page roundup of the previous book would have helped immensely, instead of the one or two bread crumbs he threw out as I read the book. It's one thing to bring up what the next one in the series is going to be, but…

I would say that it isn't that far off by saying the loss of use of a limb means that it's pretty much lost to begin with. We aren't replacing healthy working hands at this point.

I use WinPatrolPlus to delay my lengthy programs that I load. I would think that have a quad core would help alleviate some of it, but it appears that it's the disk I/O that's killing me. I see SSD in my future, although if it will be for this machine or my next machine I build, I dunno. And with 3TB now (probably…

Exactly what I was going to bring up!

Rise of the Planet of the Apes for me.

Yep.

Nuke 'em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure!

Gmail's current as-you-type search works well enough for me. Plus I really don't want an extension to go indexing through 3 gigs of emails.

I'm reminded of an old comic that I can't even remember the name of. A man was raised by the oldest robot created, A1, and he had karate chops that would slice off the head of a robot — bare handed.

I've owned one for 15+ years, and my model never showed that kind of problem. There was enough gaps around the reservoir to not have that problem.

I currently use FF4, but I have IE9, Opera and Chrome installed as well. I normally use something else only when I suspect my NoScript/AdBlock Plus is stopping a page from working like it should.

I don't have enough (any?) js-fu to make it work cleanly on FF. Still waiting for SOMEBODY's faviconpicker to start working with FF 4. :(

Currently running 4.0 portable (both the RC and a 64-bit beta), so I have to wonder how that would affect it/them (although it's still beating the crap out of my 3.6 install on startup) I'll have to keep that bookmarked so when I do install FF4, I can see how it works. And I do plan on doing a nuke 3.6 install from…

I think you're right. The talking head was an idiot. I think that while they used our water (that's pretty clear from the grunts and the drones), they were after something else. If they ONLY wanted the water, why not just hit the oceans away from land and not even fight us?

That hasn't been my experience. But things may have changed in the Vista/Windows 7 era. I guess I could take all my offline fonts, touch them so I knew how to get rid of them when I'm done, and install them all and reboot and see what the problem is. It might not take much from my boot time (but I think it will),…

at.exe is part of Windows, it's not really a part of Powershell only.

What about windows? There is an at.exe that isn't exact, but can still be used at the command line.

I ran into trouble, but the trouble was that I didn't have enough disk space free. After uninstalling 5 programs, I gained 8 GB. How that happened, I haven't a clue (and 2.5GB wasn't enough room either...)

I use it too often with sites that decide they MUST open their links in new windows/tabs *cough*topix.net*cough*Digg*cough* and just drag the link I want up into the URL bar and be done with it.
