  • W7 and Visual Studio 2008 Like Oil and Water

    Mine's working fine.

    Same here, working great. I've been using Win 7 since beta and my dev machine (x86 laptop) has Win7 (currently RC) with VS 2008 TFS.

  • Windows 7 "archecture" wallpapers

    From the E7 blog:

    "As we thought about how we wanted to approach personalization in Windows 7, we knew one way was to honor our lineage. In the past photography has been featured heavily Windows. Some of that photography has been quite beautiful and has become a proud tradition we wanted to maintain. In addition, we also wanted to explore new territory and expand our visual palette. In the realm of photography, we kept a theme focused on landscape photography which is our tradition, but added new themes for architecture and nature. Much of the this imagery is from our stock imagery partners, but we also had the good fortune to work with a talented local photographer named Will Austin, who has photographed all over the world on many subjects with an emphasis on architecture. Will’s photos provide a little bit of the local flavor of the Seattle area that we are proud to call home."

  • The US 2008 Election Thread

    Anything to stop the McBush from ruining our country again!

  • The US 2008 Election Thread

    Voted! Obama/Biden 08

    The polling place was 2 min from my apt (Redmond; school). Got there around 6:45am (opens at 7am) and out by 7:20.

    This is going to be a historic one!

  • Identificat​ion

    State ID cards by the DMV

    I've had parents in my family (mine, others) visiting from out of country get this. Comes in handy for insurance purposes and other places.

    I don't know your state, but you can checkout the requirements. Its also useful if you aren't old enough to get a drivers license (I think your case).

    Let us know if this works for you. Might come in handy for other people too. The card looks just like a drivers license, except it's just a state issued ID. Doubt anyone will have problems with it Smiley

  • What did you do when Channel 9 started?

    Going college (undergrads / C.S.) and working as an intern at a software company (my first ever job).

    Not sure how I came here, but Scoble's videos were the main reason I stayed on and came everyday (most of the days, more than once)... now I don't need to come Smiley The feeds bring it to me

  • Ex-Google engineers debut 'Cuil' way to search

    Microcuil!!! (time to buy this - results are displayed nicely and the index is probably more than what Live search does anyways Smiley )

  • What would you do if everything fails (what's your plan B)?

    plan b - Run for President Smiley

  • Vista Users: How has stability been?

    Stable, reliable, a little slow at times (but blame the user for that*)

    Ran the RC2 build for a long time (until the last day it was officially allowed all over the world Smiley ), ran RTM build for few months and now in SP1 (private beta).

    It's been pretty stable. Had some issues with sleep/hibernation earlier with my ThinkPad T60, but after I dumped my docking station, it's been good. performance is slow (* above), but that's mainly due to me running a ton of things. This is my dev machine, so I have VS, outlook, sidebar gadgets, AV, IE windows, perforce source control, couple of explorer windows, media player, etc all open at once. But it's not as bad as I saw XP behave (over-time).

    One think I hope they fix in SP1 is the unneccessary usage of disk space (temp install files, left over stuff from WU or installs, system restores, etc).

    Edit: oh and to add to others here, I also haven't seen any BSODs yet (even driver related, since most of my drivers were either already on disk or WU found them).
