I disagree, it does look nice but it is mearly a vehicle for MS to push more Pay Features at the hapless Consumer. Prime example is the Internet Radio Feature. That is the one and only thing, I use Windows Media Player for. Open it up to radio and you are promptly prompted to get MSN Radio PLus. That is crap. I think Shoutcast has it in spades over MSN. And yah open the damn thing up and it automatically contacts MSN online Music Store. WTF?You have to right click, and get it to show it's me

Well I signed my Nym and I signed my Real Name, just to cover my bases. I've had my Hotmail for 7 or 8 years now. Back before MS got it, and before it got to be a spam collector. GMail, is just like moving to a clean, fresh apartment. Nothing really wrong with the old one, just moving to a better neighborhood, and change of scenery. Something like that anyways. Plus a GB is a GB none the less. I mean that is an arbitrary figure anyways. It's not like you can move a GB into it, like an ftp or

This is too weird, My wife got a GMail Account, and she had 6 invites to pass out, also...They are already gone (Don't ask she's in a sewing/ Gossip group and they went like Hot Butter.) I see the Accounts flying hot and fast both Here, and over at Fark.com. I mean like GangBusters. I wonder if Google is ramping up to do its' Rollout? I mean a good way to get it Rolling is a Forced progression. Make folks think they are getting away with something and spread the wealth, so to speak. Next thi

Here it is from the Horses Mouth, so to speak. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/base/ntfs.asp MSDN NTFS Link "Data recoverability. NTFS limits the possibility of data corruption by organizing I/O operations by transactions. Transactions are atomic, which means that either the entire I/O operation must complete or none of it can complete. If anything interrupts the transaction in-progress, such as loss of power to the computer or a cancellat

Probably has to do with the windows Media Player Installaion routine, or something. Maybe using a proper installer, they have better control over how the Suite is deployed. It's amazing how much support that set of suites is getting from WC. Wondering who is paying the bills on that one?

I do not think the icon stands out enough, to make a difference. People who are new obviously do not understand its' meaning for darn sure, and by the time they do, it is too late. Since the Forum Defaults to this Board, and alot of folks stick to Defaults or do not investigate fully, they do not get past the front Door, so to speak.

if you are not scared to tinker with the Windows Registry you can do a search there, for the Name of the Add and remove Description of the Alienware package. once you find it's refference then right click on it and export the registry key (this is incase a problem happens you just double click what you exported and it get put back in the registry.) Once that is done then delete the key you exported. Close the registry and open add/ remove programs and it sould be gone. http://suppor

Not only that Jafo but the ability to set file level permissins also is a fine attribute. Fat is all or nothing shares. Also do not forget the smaller cluster sizes so end result is more usable space from a drive, with less wasted space in file overhead. Here also is a no bones comparison. http://cquirke.mvps.org/ntfs.htm

I keep seeing strangeness myself when ya'll post sometimes I see this strangeness... (&nbsp this is it actually I am typing nbsp) or something to that effect, I know it is an unbreaking space but why is it being used? it just seems to run stuff together when I see it being used? Is it trying to force and indentation? Is not supported? Now that will test the filter I am sure.

Thanks TasT, I have an appointment for the 8th though. I have finally come to the point where I realize it is getting out of hand, and am going to get something done about it. I also have the Bad habbit of spelling things odd, Catalogue, Theatre are but two examples that spring to mind right away. I am trying hard to lick the comma problem I have. I am bad about sprinkling commas like bird seed, on the g

And where in the heck are those "z" coming from? I am falling into laziness and spelling things phoenetically, or I am getting old for sure. I turned 39 this year, my hair turned all white, my Mother died, I gained 40 lbs, am taking enough Prozac to knock a normal Man down, and havn't left the house in 6 months. I am losing my mind I think, or at least the part of me that is me, if you get my meaning.

crae, Bad habbit and upbringing. Aslo here lately I am having somekind of weirdness with my fingers and typing. It is really odd, I miss words entirely, letters at random intervals, and phrase get typed out of order from translation from my mind to the keyboard. I am finding myself having to slow down and read the type as it is written, where as before I didn't have to do so. I think I am going senile. Bad habbit for me it to Capitalize a word I am empasizing. See it happened by itself the "C"

I am guilty of #9 the waving hand thingy. My wife also says I drive in the Direction I am looking, so I have too look straight ahead all the time, or get beaned. My peeve is the Folks that shave, put on make up or read something whilst driving. Also I wish Cell phones where outlawed in Automobiles, along with Big Hats, Shiny eye level Bumpers, and Dummies that have any kind of white light, facing following vehicles at night..ie.. bad backup lights, Truck Cargo lights on back of Cab,

Also of note, Just because MS is working on releasing a new file system in the future, does not mean everyone has to run right out and swap over to it. Businesses are not going to want to try and convert thier datbases, files and Infrastructure data, over immediately...So why should you also? NTFS isn't going anywhere, anytime soon. Why worry over phantoms. NTFS is stable, secure and highly managable. It's moot question. you nothing to loose by Using NTFS, and Nothing to Gain By sticking to FAT1

On that point I will agree, we were all new here at one time or another. A modicum of common sense, and civility is all it takes. I find that trying to discuss something intelligently is the best recourse. I usually find it most enjoyable having running conversations with folks that actually know what I am talking about. I live in a rural area and the folks around these parts, are not... repeat NOT into this at all. Imention SkinZ, and they think I am talking taking something to the
