I actually prefer airplanes. You basically only have one thing to crash in to with a plane (the ground). Unfortunately "the ground" is a much bigger object than most other objects so it's easier to hit. I had my first crash about 2 months back. It was my first one ever in over two years of flying. Luckily I have 5 more planes, but that one was the one I flew the most. I was practicing tail spins and I got distracted watching another plane in the area and before I new it I didn't have enough room to get it out of the spin. Just as it came out of the spin the ground came up and ran into it really fast. Many many small pieces.

you might expect this from some software that people had thrown together in their spare time and who had no incentive to fix bugs, but when you're paying a company to fix the bugs and it's their job then this is not acceptable... except that this is so normal that people do accept and actually expect it from microsoft! the reason people don't switch away from microsoft en masse is purely down to the fact that they are still a monopoly in people's minds. Oh and it's funny how people bugfixing in their spare time seem to fix bugs faster than microsoft, isn't it?

 
quote:Plus! DME is currently only available as an online purchase, although it will be out on CD shortly, and it can also currently only be purchased with a US credit card. But Microsoft goofed with the rollout promotion, and forgot to mention to signers up that it was only valid in the USA.

wait - they're still selling this piece of nonfunctional junk EVEN THOUGH they don't know how to make it work??? and people are BUYING it?????????///forwardslashforwardslash

RIfuckingDICULOUS!

a microsoft spokesman seriously tells people to hack their registry to fool the product activation??? doesn't that violate the EULA you agreed to when you handed over your credit card details and date of birth? and isn't it impossible anyway seeing as how microsoft's systems are so secure and impenetrable and all that...

Doctor V:
I've come to expect this kind of thing from M$.  Using M$ products really is a hazzard.
