...and a buxom serving wench with which to dally after you sup.

You know, the can openers from Ikea are just fine.


So when's GPS coming out for the PSP?

I used to hate microwaves too, but the wife converted me. Never cook anything, of course, but great for reheating stuff.

I'm on the other side of a couple of weird growing pains... top of the line machines will love it. It ran like a champ on my main rig, but I can't install it as my main OS on my main PC. It got relegated to the laptop/travel machine where I run 50% of my software from the USB stick instead.

And honestly, after trimming it down - used Yamicsoft's Vista Manager as a starting point to see what could be trimmed down, and then did it manually - it's not half bad. More PITA than WinXP, not as straight-forward as Win2k... but not bad.

Disable UAC immediately unless you desire rampant religion changing due to anger from darkened screens asking if you if you're the Administrator on the machine over and over.

Oh, it's not that bad after you've installed all your programs. Only if you plan on doing admin stuff constantly (which I could see you doing), but for most users, after installing all their programs, they'll never really see it again.

Thing is, I don't think such a thing exists. I have honestly never owned a tin opener that actually works. Seriously - I'm resigned to the fact that I am to spend a life of opening cans, not by effortlessly opening them with a functioning can-opener, but by stabbing at them with the bit of the opener that is supposed to do the cutting, slashing my hand open on the jagged can edge and then spraying myself with juice from whatever is in the can when I resort to forcing the top off by levering it with a fork and it eventually snaps...

I don't want a gadgety one either - nothing electric (too many bits to go wrong there).

What I want is a basic tin opener that actually works and will still be working in a years time.. no, I want this thing to last 10 years actually...

I think that we'll both be waiting forever for a decent tin opener... I bought a new one recently and it broke after the first use.... :(

Oh bullsh*t. Neither one of you will be pioneers on this, so why not say it correctly...

Leopard more than anything. There's a few little annoyances in OS X that I hope they fix (such as Finder improvements, find-as-you-type integrated [aka no plug-ins needed] for Safari, etc.).

Tomorrow . . . and tomorrow I will be waiting for the next day. Hmm Got something else that I am waiting for as well, but won't announce that just yet. I am waiting for my son to start walking, maybe then my wife and sister in law will clean up thier bloody messes ;).

As for programs, new cars, games, new bikes, and the such sadly I am not waiting on anything. But honestly as far back as I can remembe I have never waited for such things. Seems odd now that I think about it. Bah.

Update to my list:

Are you that damn lazy? A few twists of the wrist, you saved some power, created less CO2 and you get the tactile pleasure of opening up something that a caveman would be confused with.

Unga-bunga.
