I assume all of you already know that you can get Windows 7 for US$30 if you have an email account that ends with ".edu"?
Wow, I didn't know there's another 30-year-old here.
I don't feel so old anymore.

Man, you guys are so young.
You know when you're old when you start sentences with "Back in the days..."
I remember feeling excited when DOS version 3 came out, and I became an expert at configuring AUTOEXEC.BAT AND CONFIG.SYS
I am 37.

In Far Cry 2, the player is forced to kill his buddies.
True, they're mercenaries, but still, they're someone's son and someone's brother.

It's this sort of game content that gives gaming a bad name.
Even the Half-Life series cleaned up.
In the original Half-Life, you are forced to kill US Marines. In Half-Life 2, you kill Combine soldiers (which are technically aliens) and zombies--much more acceptable.
There are only three types of enemies that are acceptable in modern games--zombies, aliens, and Nazis.

I believe there is a console(DOS) startup defraggerThere is one for Windows 7. I just ran it right now.
Don't you know that "V for Vendetta" is actually a documentary?
America no longer exists, and Great Britain is under fascist rule.

Thanks, but I finally figured it out.
Those fragmented files in red are my system restore points saved by Windows.
Once I deleted all the restore points and defragmented my drive, it's a whole lot better.

Does anyone else use Defraggler? Does anyone know the answer to this?
I even searched the official Defraggler forum, but there was no answer to this.

He's right.
It's already too late.

I just got Defraggler to clean out my hard drive. But even after three rounds of defragmentation sessions, my drive is still 49% fragmented.
Why can't it get the job done in one cycle? I just want it to completely defrag my drive, no matter how long it takes.

I am running Windows 7, and I have my desktop wallpaper change every 30 minutes.
I like it. It really prevents wallpaper fatigue.

I love Windows 7.
Quake 2 does not run under Windows 7.
That's too bad. I still enjoy playing this game every now and then. It's great old-school fun.
I could play it with Vista, but no longer with Win 7.

Thanks for the tip. I added a few custom libraries, and it works pretty well.
I would be nice to not have to click on the library button to open up additional libraries, but it's the next best thing.

How can you modify the default folders in the places bar in common dialog boxes for Windows 7?
I did it for Windows XP, but couldn't figure out a way to modify it in Vista.
Is there a way to change the default folders for Windows 7?
I Googled already, several times, in fact. But I found no solution.

Windows 7 comes out officially in a few days.
Are you upgrading?
I bought it when Microsoft was offering it for $50 a few months ago.

I tried a few, and I like this one the most so far.
He was whacking on my keyboard and in less than a second, my recycle bin icon was gone.
There's no game that takes advantage of DirectX 11 now anyway.

Microsoft releases its first security suite today.
This software has been on beta release since June, but the company is releasing it officially, three weeks before Windows 7 hits the stores.
I strongly suspect that it's a strategy to force people buy the MS OS and discourage piracy.
I am sure Bill Gates is desperate for more money.
Has anyone tried this security program?

I first saw him from Dirty Dancing when the movie just came out in theaters.
That was so long ago (1987).
The film has become a chick-flick classic.

I've written this mapping tutorial for CSS a long long time ago, and it has all the useful shortcut keys and tips.
I like all Pixar films.
But here are my favorites: Moulin Rouge, Minority Report, Gattaca, When Harry Met Sally, A Room with a View

More hardcore would be not wiping at all.
I actually bought mine from Amazon, which sells the Samsung netbook for $429, free shipping and no tax.
I know I am sacrificing power with portability, but that's the whole point of netbooks. Just like people knowingly pay more for laptops compared to desktops, the premium goes into the compactness and convenience.
The Samsung netbook weighs less than 3 lbs and the battery life is more than 9 hours. That alone beats out all the notebooks out there.
I won't really know whether I'll like the idea of a netbook until I get mine, so we'll see what happens. I have never owned a laptop or notebook before. I always used desktops because they're more powerful, more upgradable, and a lot cheaper.
Now I am trying the other end of the spectrum.

I have finally given in to temptation.
I've ordered one of those netbooks last night.
Has anyone else bought one? What do you think of this one from Samsung?
I got one so that I can bring it to work and do stuff on the computer during downtime when there's no patients. I don't expect it to play games, but maybe Half-Life will run on it.

Satchmo is hardcore, he doesn't have icons or toolbars, and shaves using sand paper.Actually, I use a chain saw.
I don't just clean up my desktop for the photo op. I implore you to look at all the desktops I posted in the last five years. You won't find a single icon or toolbar in any of them.
Just look at my desk in real life. It's pretty bare too.
That's what OCD does to a person.
I don't have icons or toolbars.
I use shortcut keys to start all my programs.

Bed frame is over-rated.
I think I had screenshots from Far Cry 2 as my desktop wallpaper for the first half of this year.
I just read Silver Phoenix.
I picked up this book mainly because the author (Cindy) is my good friend from high school, but it turned out to be a great read.
The style of writing reminds me of the Harry Potter series. So if you want to dive into a world where ancient Chinese spirits and gods reign, try this book.

Satchmo, it took me like 30 seconds to realize that picture is rotated 90 degree.I just like messing with people's heads.
Somebody show something interesting.This is my book shelf next to my desk. It's mildly amusing (note the Halo lithograph and figurines).
Why don't you put your computer on the floor to save desk space?
My desk is always neat (and paperless), either at home or at work.
All my papers are filed neatly into various cabinets labeled to indicate the content of the folders.
I can say that I have the neatest desk of the entire medical center. . . not that I want to brag or anything. ;P

I think it's comical that people get so upset about a map, and there is actually a discussion on the "freedom of speech" for a forum.
An online community is privately own and run. It can do whatever that it wants. It does not have government jurisdiction, and freedom of speech is moot in private quarters.
If a two-year-old starts saying bad words and his parents tell him to stop, does not count as infringement on freedom of speech?
It's just a forum. It's just a game. Real atrocities are committed world wide on a daily basis. Go worry about those.

I assume that you have checked the power cord and the plug already.
Have you checked Vista's Device Manager's page to make sure that the power saving option is turned off?
I am having a related problem where my DSL connection would be fine, except that I cannot load any web pages. I am about to give up and just buy a new router.
