  1. It's just really a set of DLLs that live on your hard disk - there aren't zillions of registry entries. So it's not a program as such. It's just called when needed.

     

     

    Yeah, that was ALSO the promise of DLL's! :lol: Only called when needed. Yet, dozens of them exist in memory, even though not needed.

  2. I've noticed no depreciable performance with .NET installed. BUT, if I had a choice, I'd not install it. Thus far, no app I've tried that I kept required it, so, I don't have it running. But, eventually, it will be required just to install apps that don't need it because Microsoft wants it installed on all PC's. Makes keep an eye on what you buy, for targeted advertising, and don't buy, for themselves, the RIAA, and the MPAA, easier for them.

  3. He probably will see about that extension, especially now that he's apparently gotten his dream woman to look his way after dropping weight and exercising. :lol:

    Cheney Accidentally Shoots Hunter in Texas

    Sunday, February 12, 2006

     

    :suicide:

     

     

    WASHINGTON ? Late night comedy stars are probably planning a slew of new jokes after news broke Sunday that Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a hunting buddy.

     

    Harry Whittington, 78, was hunting quail with Cheney on Armstrong Ranch in south Texas when Cheney sprayed his friend with birdshot. Bird shot disperses a spray of small pellets rather than a single larger shotgun round.

     

     

    First, I noticed the immediate spin, that is also appearing on the news channel itself, that the primary thing they want you to take off the bat is how more important it is that late nate comedians are going to make jokes about this. ;) Well, to Hell with them, as I will now make jokes! :lol:

     

     

    Whittington: "LOOK! TERRORIST QUAIL!"

     

    Cheney: "WHERE?!" *Immediately swings towards Whittington and shoots, first, asking questions later*

     

    Cheney: "Oh, I though you said terrorist Quayle! Worst... Vice... President... EVER!"

  5. On another note, last Saturday we brought home a baby Golden Retriever. He was born Christmas day and doesn't answer to the name of Murphy, he thinks his name is Hey You! :thumbsup:

     

     

    "And, my brother, Russel, thought his name was Damn It! DAMN IT, WILL YOU STOP ALL THAT NOISE?! AND, JESUS CHRIST, SIT DOWN!"

  6. You do have to watch out at Office Depot. Because, if you look, pay attention, and come in on the right day, you can find some great stuff! For instance, the RITEKG05's I use for temporary data backups, etc. (Covers a lot. ;)) I usually get when they have buy 100, get 100 more for free. The last time, it was $29.95. Often times, you can find things in the back of the store on reduced shelves that are cheaper than their counterparts near the front. While this means they are older, it doesn't matter the age on some products, though. I've also seen the buy 1, get 1 free offers on recordable media where the same items exist in two separate places in the same aisle where one is free and one isn't. Or, a sale may be reflected on one price tag, but not another in the same aisle for duplicate listings of the same thing.

  7. Office Depot near me normally has surprisingly good deals on decent quality media. BUT, this one I just had to laugh at! Buy 1 100 DVD-R stack for $80, get another free. Unfortunately, they were Memorex DVD-R! :& So, isn't that more like buy 1, get none free? :lol:
