Here are the members of =RomanianPhotographer that celebrate their birthday this month. Please show them some love and make them feel special for their birthday.
Curious about your future? You should be. I bet if Billy Mays or Michael Jackson knew what last month had in store for them they maybe would have done something about it. They didn't read my horoscopes and look what happened. So read this shit - it could save your life.
Keep yourself up-to-date with the happenings of the forums, from lolants to lolzebras. If you haven't been raped enough by the media with reminders that Michael Jackson is no more, we'll just keep on rapin', but we promise to be 10% funnier, and that's funny that even Jeff Goldblum's death can't amount to. Ever.
In a recent interview, Michael's longtime dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein confirmed that Michael had vitiligo. Dr Klein maintains Michael Jackson's skin became paler over the course of his life due to the skin condition vitiligo, which causes skin to lose pigmentation. He insisted that "Michael was very proud of his black heritage."

Something needs to be done about all the screenshots and mangascans, people keep making them though they are not allowed. Read to find out how we can stop them.
Wow, it's like we've been transported back in time to 2001 and the Windows XP launch. Who here remembers what that was like? Every tech-head online and offline was going on about how XP was just an incremental upgrade to 2k, but rife with incompatibility issues, and forcing users to relearn where basic system utilities were. No one was going to upgrade. Windows 2000 and 98 were going to be it forever. Those all worked just fine for what everyone needed... and didn't require as powerful a machine. XP was doomed to failure.
Now, 7 years later, we're going through the same process, only this time the OS versions have changed. Now Vista is the reviled OS and XP is the golden child that can do no wrong.
The difference is that there's competition this time around. Apple was still trying to figure out what they were doing, and Linux barely ran on servers.
People gave up and moved to XP because they had no choice. Now they do.
There are similarities, but I wouldn't say it's the same thing.
I don't know about you, but when me and my brother got to try XP, we decided to stick with 98/Me because XP it was still too glitchy, and didn't have enough advantages to compensate for it's instability. As Service packs were released, along with many other "fixes", the O.S. became stable, and worth upgrading to.
Back then, there weren't that many issues with XP, it just wasn't worth the money, time and hassle it took to "upgrade" it mostly... Now, however, Vista is a complete bag of failure - As of now -. The compatibility sucks a big fat cocksicle, it's a ram sink, seems to mess up the most basic of programs that weren't built specifically for vista "from the ground" all of that on top of the same problem XP had ("just not worth it") all in favor of a new look Macintosh has been using for years...
In time, however, If Microsoft has any sense, they'll fix the crappy thing, user hardware will inevitably be upgraded with time, and Vista's ram eating properties will become less and less significant, and eventually we'll all move on.
However, as of now, Vista can fuck right off because I'd only use it as a frisbee or coaster...
The only difference - and it is significant - is this:
XP bought tangible performance and architectural benefits to the table. M$ finally had realized that there was something else out there other than Intel and XP incorporated that. As a tech for some 18 years, I can honestly say that I cannot find ONE worthwhile reason in terms of performance to move to Vista and the single architectural benefit - that of moving device drivers out of the kernel - is offset by the myriad performance sucking "enhancements", useless services (media streaming server???) and eye candy that litter this OS. The stability issues are yet another issue - XP out of the box behaved far better.
Wait for Windows 7 - perhaps M$ will have learned a lesson by then.

"There are things that music can do that language could never do, that painting could never do, or sculpture. Music is capable of going directly to the source of the mystery. It doesn't have to explain it. It can simply celebrate it."
And how is it reaching it's breaking point? It's more stable, it's fast (certainly faster than its so-called "replacement") and users who tried that replacement are migrating back to the one that actually works.
From where I'm sitting, the replacement isn't breaking - it's broken. M$ did their job TOO well - and now the flash and dash just ain't cutting it because there's no substance to it.

Thank you, I was thinking that to, See my XP is on the blink, slow loading, dead pixels, failing graphics card, I really need a new computer, but I don't know which one, I mean Macs are easier But i'm very familiar with windows both XP and vista, so it's a constant tug-o-war.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

Professor Oak, why aren't you wearing any pants?
