6/11    To the person who asked about VirtualBox...
        I just tried it out with XP and Vista as the guest OS and it seems as
        feature-complete and responsive as VMware.  USB devices mount nicely
        and can be filtered well.  I haven't tried a network share between the
        host and guest though.
        \_ Does USB 2.0 devices work?  Thx.  (not the original person who
           asked about VirtualBox)

4/28    Win 3.1 was more widely adopted than Win 3.0.  Win XP (5.1) was more
        widely adopted than Win 2k (5.0).  Now it looks like Win 7 (6.1) is
        going to be more widely adopted than Vista (6.0).  Is this a trend on
        Microsoft x.0 versions being bad?
        \_ duh.
        \_ "more widely adopted" ... well... what are you basing these numbers

2/18    Why is there now Firefox 3.5.8 when there was already 3.6 a month ago?
        \_ Why is there Windows XP SP3 when there was already Vista?
           Generally companies manage patches for at least two levels of
           product.  -tom
           \_ I see.  So Fx 3.6 is more like a new version than an update to
              3.5.x.  --- OP

12/15   Ran through AdAware and SpyBot but computer still slow and still
        getting weird pop-ups from http://casalemedia.com. Best solution? Block
        all of these IPs in less than a minute!

5/9     Networking Vista computers together is a steaming pile of shit.
        What the fuck was MS thinking?  Fuck!  fuck.  (fuck).  blah.
        \_ So is networking vista to XP and to Samba.
           \_ Heck, networking XP to XP was awful, I had kinda assumed
              they would fix it in Vista.
              \_ They need to keep it awful to ensure backward compatibility.

8/24    No HD playback in 32bit Vista:

        \_ This is hilarious.  I'd already decided Vista wouldn't be touching
           my desktop because of DRM.  And now they're just making it easier to
           make the decision.
        \_ There might be HD playback in 32bit Vista IF 3d parties provide it:
