@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Oh, well good luck with it all, then! Hope you have a lot of fun :)

@Bill Clark: I'm, alas, more READY TO SLEEP! than ready to friday, this week :(

@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Hey, congrats on following a dream! My only money advice would be "Win the lottery", but that doesn't really help :P

WOO! READY! Ready! To! Friday!

@FalconFour: Oh, I've "experienced" that, but it doesn't particularly bother me (I haven't cared about HDD space since I realised TB HDDs are cheap and plentiful - IMO it's well worth the money just to be able to stop agonising about space. As for the flowing, I'm not seeing it. Just launched \System32 (From executor,…

@FalconFour: I haven't experienced any of this, perhaps you're just unlucky?

@urpwnd: It's all well and good having default system files compressed, but why can't I do this myself? I'm sure for implying OS X isn't perfect I should be struck down as a fanboy of some other OS, though!

Why isn't this built in? I mean, sure, we live in an age of TB HDDs, but seriously? I would have thought basic features of the filesystem should be exposed without having to pay $10 for it.

@mherlihy: Are you sure about that? 64bit isn't some magical optimiser - it pretty much just lets you address more than 4gb of ram (and the 2/3GB per-process artificial limit), and if that helps flash, then it's seriously doing it wrong. I'm just hoping we can get rid of the damn thing with a combination of HTML5 and…

@Bonsai_halcyon: Hey, be glad. Never get anything back :(

WOO! READY. FRIDAY!

Fan-goddamn-tastic. This'll force John "I'm not even sure what a computer is" Smith to update, finally, and I'm sure the companies still on IE6 won't mind terribly. If they do, they should consider looking at a calendar. Specifically, the year.

@TedTheBellhop: Hm, you could be right, but I've only ever noticed not looking up DNS when I'm browsing the same site, otherwise it can take entire milliseconds (Which, in today's hectic lifestyle is like losing... well, milliseconds, still.)

@TedTheBellhop: speeding up in-site browsing? No DNS cache I know of keeps the records around for very long.

@torein: Firefox, when I had a start page I set it for every new tab. I mean, I start my browser up at most once a day, it'd be completely useless to me if it only loaded that once.

@Meiri Anto: At least on LCD, *it does not work like that*. Most LCD screens produce a black pixel by BLOCKING the light, not not producing it. On most LCDs, an all-black screen will actually consume slightly more energy.

I've never understood web-based start pages. I don't want to wait half a second, at best, every time I open a new tab!

@Kevin Drum: I've never had to do the latter step, myself.

@iSmithx_reloaded: :'(!

@iSmithx_reloaded: Hey, I got into the house 10 minutes before the launch and had to deal with unpacking and a broken boiler, I'd say we were even :P
