MythBusters: 7 Tech Headaches—and How to Fix Them

The argument of whether it's useful or not, though, has nothing to do with bloat or the memory footprint of the OS. 163. RE: MythBusters: 7 Tech Headaches—and How to Fix Them Maybe Jamie and Adam should test the "myths" of linux install, vista bloat, and the general stability of these OS's on Mythbusters, hm? 162. RE: MythBusters: 7 Tech Headaches—and How to Fix Them The only thing I say good about MS software is that people have to upgrade systems as the os changes. I get free computers when helping people upgrade and then I put Linux on the discarded computers. Small businesses could save a fortune in equipment cost if they knew what could be done with classic systems. Like Emeril says: "Don't tell anybody or everyone will be doing it." Thank you Microsoft. 161. RE: MythBusters: 7 Tech Headaches—and How to Fix Them The only thing I say good about MS software is that people have to upgrade systems as the os changes.

War of the Worlds Redux

While the show contained several disclaimers that its contents were fictional, the first came right the beginning of the 55-minute broadcast and the second wasn't aired until 40 minutes later.Watching news coverage of last week's Cartoon Network marketing stunt that put Boston on high alert, I was reminded of the Welles' broadcast. It is clear in hindsight that the reactions to both were overblown and more than a bit comical. But it is equally clear in hindsight, at least to this observer, that the geopolitical backdrop for each provided ample justification for the reactions that followed.Only a month before the Welles' broadcast, England and France relented under pressure from Adolf Hitler and allowed Germay to seize the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia. By then, Germany had already annexed the Rhineland in violation of the Treaty of Versailles and manipulated an Anschluss unification with Austria, land of Hitler's birth.By the time Hitler was demanding the Sudetenland, Western leaders had grown distrustful of the German leader.

Oscar Viewers Got Clipped, In More Ways Than One

It happens that the Coen Brothers got their start in the movie business with help and support from Jim and Ted Pedas, Washington real estate investors who owned the beloved Circle Theater on Pennsylvania Avenue in the '50s, '60s and '70s. It has since been torn down and an ugly office building erected in its space. The Coens generally make cynical, gloomy movies, with the exception of the breakneck comedy "Raising Arizona."

There were several references to the recent strike by the Writers Guild of America, which, if it had continued, might have meant canceling the 80th Oscars altogether or putting on a much reduced and postponed show later in the year. Actually, that might have been a pleasant change and a blessed relief from the bloated show and the effusive windbags making speeches that Americans endure annually, even as the number of other awards shows on television has grown exponentially.

Sports Columnists

The Thrashers opened the post-All-Star, it's-now-or-never part of their schedule with a 4-1 win over Pittsburgh. It ended a five-game winless streak (0-3-2), which was their longest skid since a coach got fired. But we've seen this team morph from one form to another game-to-game, so excitement tends to be muted.

There was some debate in the two locker rooms whether the hit was dirty, but Ruutu's comment, "I barely hit him," would be amusing, if Kovalchuk weren't in so much agony.
