Not even a matching pair of feet yet, I bet.

This phenomena happens with my socks.

Ban on trendy replicas on trucks: Good policy or anti-freedom?

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - They're proudly displayed by any self-respecting bull, but dangling big metal ones on the back end of a truck could be banned in Florida.

Metal replicas of bull testicles have become trendy bumper ornaments in some parts of the Sunshine State, but state Sen. Carey Baker is campaigning to ban the orbs.

You can't buy XP anymore.

glatt · 06-30-2008, 12:17 PM

Does that mean my computer is obsolete now and I need to get a new one?

TheMercenary · 06-30-2008, 12:39 PM

According to Microsoft, yes.

I hear Vista sucks, I am thinking of defecting to Apple MAC.

HungLikeJesus · 06-30-2008, 12:41 PM

I like Vista.

As long as it does what you need it to do, that's fine. For you.

But other people, like doctors trying to run a PACS web application to read X-rays remotely, are having the inability to do their job imposed on them. All they can do is hold on to their old PC, cross their fingers and wait for Windows 7. Oh, and hope Windows 7 isn't a piece of crap also.

Dell, for one, has posted plans to continue selling Windows XP on some computers until June 2009, and HP has reportedly said the same thing. The equipment builders say they'll use a loophole that Microsoft offers to business customers to downgrade systems from Vista to XP. Dell and HP would make the switch before the computer ships, letting customers get a computer preloaded with the tried-and-true XP.

The switcheroo would help only customers willing to pay more for Vista's Business or Ultimate editions. That leaves out many PCs at retail, which often come with the Home versions installed.

But retailers might see slivers of light at the end of the tunnel. Microsoft could still change its mind if it heard a loud enough outcry about ending XP. Microsoft already extended XP's life once and could again, CEO Steve Ballmer told a group in Belgium late last week.

"If customer feedback varies, we can always wake up smarter," Ballmer said, according to Reuters. "But right now, we have a plan for end of life for new XP shipments."
