Does it come with a Blackjack app? That'd be poetic.
That would be:

FoxNews is the sweaty ballsac of TV news.
If you read the Microsoft KnowledgeBase article about this issue, it is confined to:

• Windows Vista Home Premium
• Windows Vista Home Basic
• Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition
• Windows Vista Home Basic 64-bit edition
• Windows Vista Starter

If you're going for Windows Vista Ultimate, or Windows Vista Business, it appears that these restrictions do not apply. As I'm going to be upgrading my primary PC to Vista Ultimate and then, only later, upgrading my Media Center PC and wife's laptop to Windows Vista Home Premium (likely 32 bit edition), I should never run into this issue.
From what I understand, she has a condition called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD). Here is a link to a site with information about it. http://www.rsds.org/2/what_is_rsd_crps/index.html

Apparently it's a neurological disorder. I think that beyond the slurring, the fact that in this interview her mouth is askew (when it hasn't been in the past) does not indicate drunkenness, but the underlying neurological disorder.

It's a sad state of affairs when folks bash a celebrity for remaining visible despite an impairment and add insult to injury by contending drug or alcohol abuse. What's next? Arguing that Michael J. Fox must have been in withdrawal from a crack binge when he shot the stem cell commercial. Or saying that Dick Clark must have become a horrible alcoholic due to his slurring on New Year's Rockin' Eve.

This diagnosis came down in 11/04. Hang your head in shame Anna, then go to the mall and kick the crutches out from under a handicapped person. I'm sure you'd get a big kick out of that.
This is all sooooooo frustrating. Sheesh, the biggest recent innovation in CRT technology was the ability to use flat instead of convex glass (aside from aspect ratio and tuner changes). I so wish that the LCD/Plasma stuff would just hurry up and stabilize so I don't have to drop a knot on a new Boob Tube that will be obsolete within 18 months. Quad HD on the way?!? Do you think I really need to see the nose hair and enlarged pores on everyone on TV? I thought that was the point of TV, it offered the illusion that the folks on the other side of the glass were "perfect" and "beautiful." I'm not ready for the cold, harsh reality that everyone's got some ugly...there's nothing to aspire to or envy. I might as well go to the park and watch my neighbors.
That is so truly disgusting I can't even describe it. Even if you're a neatnik, when you flush, toilet spray finds its way all over the bathroom infecting nearly every surface with fecal coliform bacteria. Now you'll end up with crap befouled electronics equipment? Like the throne isn't tough enough to clean, I've got to get into the nooks and crannies of my crap infested laptop, tv, and swingarms? Barf.
It'll probably just become the ApplePhone just like they had to bag iTV and called it AppleTV. With their change from Apple Computer, Inc. to Apple, Inc. I suspect they are just about to start a massive product switchover from iThis and iThat to AppleThis and AppleThat. Of course, the iPod is the new buzz name for all MP3 players kind of like everyone says Kleenex for any sort of tissue (even Puffs).
Too funny: Error...this page cannot be displayed. We offer ubiquitous, always-on internet connectivity. Of course, always-on is a relative term.
FYI...in Excite Truck you hold the remote flat (B-button facing down) and then turn it side to side to make a turn. The wheel is designed for games where you hold the remote on edge (B-button facing out). You'd have to make a foam wheel with the Wii-mote holder turned at a 90deg angle to have a wheel for Excite Truck.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
