InfoWorld: HELP SAVE XP Petition 
Thursday, February 7, 2008, 12:44 PM - techFoo
Now here is a petition worth signing.

Please complete this petition so we can add your name to those who want Microsoft to keep Windows XP available indefinitely, rather than force users to upgrade to Windows Vista. With your support, we can convince Microsoft to spare XP’s fate of being discontinued on June 30, 2008.


I, for one, would welcome our .. errr... old overlords ...back.

Reddit headline:

In a stunning upset, Ron Paul loses every state on Super Tuesday!

"I have indeed two great measures at heart, without which no republic can maintain its strength. 1. That of general education, to enable every man to judge for himself what will secure or endanger his freedom. 2. To divide every county into hundreds, of such size that all the children of each will be in reach of a central school in it."


-In a letter to Thaddeus Kosciusko, 1810

A friend of mine switched to running RAID 0 on his main system. I tried to convince him that if he lost just one of the disks, he would lose Operating System, Files, and Settings; Everything. He replied, "It's nothing important, only Vista"
