What does "kill" mean? /. is hardly dead, and nor is Usenet.

There must be something about summer in Seattle that slows my blogging down. It's been almost 3 months

Binu - the Vista perf rating currently runs from 1.0-5.9, so 5.9 is the highest rating possible with current hardware. As you can guess, this means there's plenty of room left for higher ratings when new hardware comes out.

I looked at getting a higher video card earlier on, but was bound by a couple of factors - cost (I didn’t want to get a $200 video card), need (I am not into PC gaming as much these days - more into Xbox gaming on my 1080p TV) and power consumption (a 400W power supply doesn't leave much room for dual video cards ).

Congrats. So you finally got it together. What's Boggled my mindm since Vista came out is, "What's it take to get a full 10/10 Rating on the Visa Compatibility Appl. I read this Article in a CAR MAGAZINE about a Super Rig. Let me tell you, it was SUPER. It had TWO nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX, 8 GB RAM and the list of shiny details is endless. I still dream about it. Let me see if I can find an online copy of that article and share the joy.

Not really ;)

>>How Ubuntu ruined my weekend (and why Linux is still not ready for the Desktop)

So you work for <a href="www.microsoft.com/">a large technology company</a>? right? ;). Anyway I do agree with the fact that linux is not at all ready for the desktops. Linux on desktop is good only in colleges, where you have plenty of time to maintain it. Using computers should ease the hassles and increase the productivity, linux fails to do that. You end up spending more time searching for drivers and resolving library conflicts.

re: The economics of texting

Steve M Nash — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 16:28:29 GMT

Hi, Nice article. Good way to explain just how expensive texting is (even though people seem to think differently). By the way, TextMeFree.com is not a free texting site, exactly, but a *directory* of free texting sites! (Thanks for the mention, though! ;-) ) Steve
