Primal Scream!

,----[ Quote ]
| AAAGGGHHHHHH!!! I let that other OS do it to me 
| again. Yesterday I was giving my second lecture 
| for my computer science course. I was using an 
| XP machine on a cart as a terminal via RDP to 
| my GNU/Linux terminal server.
| 
| I started up Impressive with a PDF slide show 
| and some images to finish it off. I had set 
| Impressive to show my progress bar for 20 
| minutes side to side. I had just got into it 
| when a pop-up from the underlying OS 
| intervened. It warned me that it would re-re-
| reboot in 14 minutes. âCancelâ was greyed out. 
| I minimized my terminal window and it was still 
| greyed-out. I didnât want to interrupt my flow 
| so I checked the time and decided I could 
| finish in the time left. I dragged the pop-up 
| to the side while roundly cursing that other 
| OS.

iTunes 8 causes Windows Vista problems

| Not everyone is rocking to the new iTunes 8 released Tuesday. An informal
| poll on ZDNet suggests that a problem with the latest edition of the Apple
| media player is affecting some, but not all, users of the software on
| Microsoft's Windows Vista.
