@Jason: I'm obviously being facetious, of course what I really meant was: XP is an old OS, like 2000, or 98. It's insecure, inefficient, and holding back growth. It needs to die, just like IE6. The only difference is, IE6 isn't popular.

@Jason: No, but many people still use them. They're also outdated, they share a lot with XP.

@BishopBlaize: And those people are unlikely to buy new hard drives :)

@Solevator: Win7 is at SP1 stability. Beyond the fancy new taskbar and a bit more polish, it's basically Vista's core. Well worth an upgrade, right now :)

@Ben James: Not worth the effort. Why shouldn't 2000, 98, 95 be made compatible, too?

@Optrirominiluikus: As far as I'm concerned, XP became obsolete when Vista hit SP1!

@anthonyg3: I don't think the second point is much more than poor exception handling, but the fact you got an unhandled exception at ALL is worrying.

@anthonyg3: Some applications are written by people who don't speak english as their first language. Doesn't stop the coding from being good. (The right-click-exception does imply a serious lack of in-depth testing, however)

@odinbearded: Advertisers pay the network to air the ads with the program - your watching of them changes nothing. However, the network still owns the RIGHTS to the show, meaning they decide who gets to show it.

@capitalH: Well, clearly I've been a bit too fast to call foul, all hail our new javascript overlords!

@capitalH: Admittedly GWave was a little slow, but I assumed that was because of network activity, as it seemed to get much worse the more members there were?

@ericesque: That's totally not what I meant, don't worry :P

@ericesque: No, literally "my timetable". As in, at what times things are supposed to happen over the course of the next week :P

@Chaim Chaikin: Half your taskbar? What resolution're you running on, 240x128?

@ustice: Oh, I wasn't saying JS speed wasn't *important*, just isn't it fast enough that minor increases, while good things, aren't really the major news they used to be?

Hasn't JavaScript got 'fast enough', yet? Are these ms speed increases really worthy of being a selling point for a browser? Why not focus on stability or extensibility. I'd pay attention to "Add-On engine made 10% more efficient" a lot more than "Sorting 150,000 numbers now takes 5 fewer ms than leading competitors!"

@ericesque: I have a todo list embedded in my desktop, and my timetable parses that and displays deadlines and stuff. It's incredibly useful, AND could be described as a widget :P

@iSmithx_reloaded: :>

@Chispea: I'm only on season 4, but I'm really enjoying it. It's got that mix of consistent sci-fi nerdgasm (disengage has become my new favourite sounding word, btw), drama, great writing, and sudden bouts of humour. There aren't many shows I laugh at, but seeing Teal'c juggling was hilarious! I highly reccomend…

@CaffeineCarlton: It was most noticable for me in "Crystal Skull". Something about the background of the cave never changing focus just felt incredibly artificial.
