@Conley: From [arstechnica.com]

@GtAkReYz: Same-o for me. The plug-ins are the killer. I whittled my plugins down to: iTunes App, Java, Flash and it still says I'm unique! WTF? It only detected 3 plugins and that alone bumped me to 1:117379!

@Hangten: lol. +1

@Red_Flag: That would be wonderful! You'd always have somebody to chat with and you'd never be lonely.

@Rybanis: Good, it's not just me. I thought the exact same thing.

backup!

@HurtsSoGood: Chili-sicles! Frozen chili on a stick! Mmm, mmm, good.

I didn't want to take the full jump to 64bit just to use 8GB of memory so I went to 33bit instead. I was thinking about going to 34bit but I don't foresee myself needing additional memory any time soon.

I really love this feature but I constantly think it could be so much better if it was broken up a little bit more. For example, I don't want to wade through 40 links of laptops if I'm looking for a mouse.

@dr.vox: Ditto!

@Whitson Gordon: Hey why did HE get the reply?!? I posted a full 10 minutes before him. lol. :-)

@goodywitch: I've been using VirtualBox to sandbox/vm which is a little heavy for a quick test. I'll have to give Sandboxie a try. Wait! More software. Doh! :-)

Hate to be trouble-maker but this seems to contradict a few of the points from the LH post You Don't Need to Regularly Reinstall Windows; Here's Why

@ericesque: Where are the rules posted? I was going to give this post a +20 for including perfectly-sized screenshots (big enough to read but not too big) and then there's a pic for each tab (+20x2). So I think that puts the post back at 0 but I don't know if that's a good score or not.

@DanGarion: Good, I'm not the only one that keeps the shower curtain indefinitely. I do the same as Dan - throw it in the washer, at the beginning of the spin cycle, take it out and let all the pools drain, throw it back in, spin away, hang in the shower when you're done. No extra magnets though.

@Attmay: They're listing the top 8 per time period. Considering that Chrome wasn't released until Sep 08, it's not surprising that it's not in the top 8. Change the time period to a shorter/recent time frame and Chrome appears.

@wickedcupofjoe: 'System Volume' is where Windows saves your system restore points. If you want to dial it back some, right-click on 'My Computer', select 'Properties' then hit the 'System Restore' tab. From there you can change how much disk System Restore consumes.

@Andre Barnett: ...and I've been looking for a way to stop my keyboard from sliding around my desk.

I wish Picasa let you share multiple folders at the same time but only send one email. Uploading vacation pics and then spamming your friends with 20 invites doesn't make for happy photo comments.
