Sons of Macintosh - shaking the Apple family tree

So, the fanboys are out at the moment...

I'll come back tomorrow when Webster and his pals have had their go. The truth, as always, will be somewhere inbetween. Apple stuff - well, not for me.

Microsoft slams OEMs over XP SP3 install cock-up

@AC

Kernel updates haven't caused a problem with my NVidia drivers since the restricted drivers manager was introduced in 7.10 (I think) - course, if you're still on the old LTS version you won't have seen this.

As for SP3 - guess I'll keep my work machine on SP2 for the time being then....

Electric cars may not be solution to all world problems

But what about charging it?

The problem with this, and any other electric car, is that at some point you have to charge it up. And right now when you do that you're probably burning coal/gas/oil to generate the power, so you're still chucking a load of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Until we sort out clean power generation the electric car is not going to be a practical solution - biofuels and hydrogen are the way forward in the meantime.
