so it's not just me

ie8 on win7 is crap and firefox works so much better. no crashes yet with firefox on win7.

still laughing...

lol, pwnage

lame

real klingons draw blood. i'm suprised the idiot didn't get shot trying to rob a convenience store at 2am.

s&w 642j w/ crimson trace ftw!

@ Frank Bough

in regards to Xbox AI....any gamer worth their salt plays online against real people(oh so that's what that Xbox Live thing is).

if you want to make a comment on a 'Western De-skilling', at least provide a rational argument instead of your ignorant view of video games.

remember, apple products are more aerodynamic than pc stuff....

so you can throw the crap farther!

MS conspiracy theory anyone?

Has MS added biological warfare to their list of 'not so friendly' business practices?

@ French ISO??

i wonder if the 'fre' stands for Final RElease

or Fixing Redmond's Errors?

Paris, cause she is ready for her next fix.

i destroy hard drives at Knob Creek Range

hard drives make nice targets 100 yards out for my 500magnum revolver or one of my assault rifles.

mine is the one with the gun barrel hanging out of the end;)

there have been worries?

"there have been worries that skunk and other super-strong strains can trigger schizophrenia in susceptible individuals"-uhoh

mine's the one that smells like a skunk and has voices coming from it

the internets strike again

Another company cowers to the power of the people on the net. First scientology gets a drubbing over being a cult and goes into hiding, then walmart gets pounded and decides to let a brain-damaged woman keep her insurance settlement, now creative lets its users have working drivers that it can't even provide itself.

dammit!

now i'm wondering if that fatal1ty x-fi audio card i ordered yesterday is going to work wih my vista system.

wow

islamic funadmentalists sure are sensitive. you'd think a bunch of guys with ak-47's, who look like they have been 'roughing it' for a while, could take a little criticism without blowing up.

im glad nvidia is finally catching some hell over their drivers

I've had quite a few issues over the past year with Vista Business and an 8800GTS card. Lockups, reduced driver functionality(where'd my old and powerful nvidia control panel go?-even in xp), along with the expected 'new game crashes' that require a driver patched up for the game(Crysis, COD:4, ...).

@ P2P is just more effective use of bandwidth

I second that.

my nvidia drivers are still here

although upon reboot the windows desktop was backwards on my 2 22" flat panels. just had to go back into the 'still present' nvidia control panel and switch the monitors.

ROTM

ROTM-aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh

.22 handgun? what a painful way to go, suprised he even went.

how not to make friends at cebit....have them arrested.

i bet they don't get invited back next year.

re: Re: re: Pierre By John PM Chappell

Oh c'mon. Lets just pick the biggest easiest target and have make some fun of it instead of being a man about it and rising above. Fanboi...no, I'm just the guy that puts in the time to make it work because I know that eventually my clients may be buying it or somehow end up with it on a new PC. In the IT business it pays to keep up with the latest software instead of being suprised by it.

I fully expected there to be issues with Vista when it came out, just like XP, and 2000, and ME, and 98, and 95, and 3.1, and 6.22, and 5.0, and .......everytime there is a major shift in the kernel I expect vendors to take some time to catch up with drivers and software to make everything work peacefully together-ever notice that somehow MS stuff seems to work almost perfectly on the newest OS? I also expect each newer version of MS-whatever to require more hardware-this is not a new concept with MS OS's; it has been going on for 15+years.

Do I recommend Vista for my clients?-no, they are comfortable with XP and it does what they want. Do I recommend it to power users....yea, have a ball with it and your new overpowered quad core PC and double-wides(put that in the reg dictionary as a pair of 20" or larger widescreens hooked up to a single PC).

When too much is just right!-RockfordFosgate

a little early for a Wii?

a wii in 2003?-you better believe Paris had one;)

to: anon cow, re: Don't bite the hand that feeds you

ROFLMAO

don't forget to add the content filter at the gateway....I would hate to think about IT energy being wasted by users browsing non-business related sites.

I bet it would take less than a week of "This website has been blocked by Sonicwall Content Filtering Serivce because it is a waste of the IT department's energy budget to abolish this policy.

Paris Hilton?-for all the electricity I wasted downloading and watching her video! But it was worth it;)

RoTM has begun under the guise of air traffic control.

"The company believes that GILA will become a true expert system, able to build up knowledge in a continual process"-and eventually it will realize that it no longer needs it's carbon based handlers.

-insert Terminator2 first scene clip here-

reply to anonymous coward: oh yeah

I'm right there with ya dude.....Kentucky CDW permit in the wallet and a Smith & Wesson 642 J with Crimson Trace laser grip in the pocket.

Some idiot would have ended up with a red laser dot on his forehead, ready to be traded out with something more substantial if he refused to put the shotty down.

@Simon Painter

roflmao-well put!

woot woot beep beep

We've been a Dell reseller for a couple of years now and have had good luck with our account reps, pricing, delivery, etc. I'm glad that Dell is finally 'coming out' with this program and giving partners some recognition-after all, we are moving close to $100,000/year of their kit.
