Always ingenious, John Stewart delivers one of the best reviews of what went on this week with McCain’s campaign reaching for new lows with their attack adds aimed at painting a picture of an “elitist Obama”

Does anyone know of such strange, yet delightful, gathering? I would like to see how things are going in mono land…

I’m typing this as I wait for my dad’s brand new Sony VAIO to run Vista’s “checking your hardware” utility; it has been doing this for about 8 minutes now. Before this lovely state, I had to wait while it ran “windows gets ready to run for the first time” for about 20 minutes.
wait.. it just rebooted, looks like it is done.
So in total, it took me 5 minutes to unpackage the VAIO plug it in and turn it on, and about 28 minutes to run Vista for the first time.
Two things I don’t understand:
1) This is a brand new US$2,000 laptop with a fancy hybrid hard drive, why does it need to “check my hardware”?
2) Why OEM’s put up with this? I mean Sony should have enough leverage to force Microsoft to provide them with a “quick firstboot” version of Vista.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Windows hater, I’m fine with it for the most part, but this just pushes my patience to a whole new level… has no one at Microsoft used a Mac and seen their elegant “firstboot” system? Or used pretty much any recent Linux distro for that matter?
btw.. windows is still booting…
For some odd reason I came across this video today, it brings together Mr. Dawkins and Pastor Ted. I’m not quite sure why professor Dawkins would even consider something like this but it is hella funny.
