:) my top ten:
01. Internet Explorer
:) oh yea, IE > FF
PLEASE tell me you're at least using IE7! Otherwise needless to say you're screwing yourself over with malware for no good reason.
Anyway, my top ten would look something like this:
1. Firefox
2. Thunderbird
3. Steam
4. Windows Live Messenger 8.5 beta
5. iTunes
6. Media Player Classic+Combined Community Codec pack (it's like VLC, except it can competently play back .mkv x264 movies)
7. Photoshop CS3
8. 3dsmax 8
9. avast! antivirus
10. Ad-Aware
Honourable mentions:
-Media Center
-Halo 2 Vista
-Shadowrun
(I have Vista, I'm an achievement whore, and they were both already on sale for a ridiculous price)
-
This is the one that I am using right now, but 95% of my games (what I mostly do on this rig) are installed on my xp drive because they run like shit on vista.
-
Gears of War, Splinter Cell: Double Agent- Xbox 360.
Doom- Xbox Live Arcade
Halo 2- Xbox
Splinter Cell: Double Agent- PC
I'm getting Dark Messiah for PC soon.
-
A shitty one though. The 360 is decent, but sucks arse compared to a gaming PC
Better GPU than yours.

no its 12x digital... and yes it does need ALOT of light for video
Sorry man, my mistake. You have the DSC-W1 as you said, I have the DSC-H1. 12x optical, and for a pretty good price.
I'm pretty sure all other specs are the same. They both take 640x480 video, and with a TV out on a standard definition TV it looks alright.
I have a Nikon D70, no video function... but its a SLR so i don't need it.Digital SLR? I was happy that this camera was sub-$400CAN. Your camera would cost an arm and a leg. :?
But you're pro so there's no worries. :)

I can't stop laughing every time I see that. It's probably cause they're french :D
"Zee eh am de has EXPLODE!"

haha thanks, um who ever wants a high res (5megapixels) im me dude999897969594 its a Sony Cybershot DSC-W1 5.1megapixels witha 3x optical zoom, but a sexy 640x480 MPEG-2 video mode with sound. As for the photoshoping I tryed croping it, but it didnt look good, but if anyone is up to do it better go right ahead ill send you the full thing
Dude, I have the same camera with 5.1 megapixels, but with 12x optical zoom. That MPEG video recording is pretty sweet, but it needs to be really bright out.

WTF is that
Egg getting shot?

Ok, I did a lot of searching, and I found the problem (the uTorrent FAQ had my problem listed, but none of their solutions helped). The problem was that my file was "being accessed by another program", so I downloaded this program called Unlocker (http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/), and if you're getting this error message anywhere, you just right click on the file, go to "unlock" and a list will come up, so select "unlock all", and my uTorrent magically works. I have no idea what it actually did, but it's the only solution that worked.

Whenever I use µTorrent for downloading, the download will be going fine for a couple minutes, and then will just stop. If I start it again it will go for a bit, and then do the same thing. I've never had a problem with randomly quitting downloads in the official BitTorrent application, but I really like µTorrent because my downloads are faster and I can use it to organize my things and do more than one at a time: It makes my life easier.
Does anyone know what could be causing µTorrent to randomly abort downloads? Again, I've never had the problem with other clients.

Where did you get your computer from? PC World was it?
No, I didn't. Why do you ask?

I'm sorry, but Nero 7 is the biggest waste of mone... sorry, "bandwidth" I've ever seen. It's annoying as hell to use, it has it's own media player that assimilated all my movie files from other players, and it's got a bunch of junk glued to it.
To demonstrate this program's suckitude, I did a seach for "nero" on my hard drive after I uninstalled the program:
WTF. When I say "uninstall", I kinda want it OFF my computer.
Sorry again, but I'm just pissed at this thing. I'm sticking with Alcohol from now on.
-
In any case, Microsoft's scheme probably worked- I've found myself using messenger alot more regularly than I did before this download.

they are women.

I like it. It's slick without the menu bar on the top, and I like the whole direction MS is going with the Live branding. I just want to know when we can get an @live.com email address so I can ditch my hotmail.
-
I forget what episode it was, but it was when you guys did the spoof of Diggnation.

urgh. just one more thing to prove the world is sinking into the void.
urgh. just one more thing to prove that asians are disproportionately small in the pants.

The girl was staring straight at his crotch and still didn't know what the hell he was doing. What does that tell you about the dude's size?
-
Jennifer Morrison, she plays Cameron on House, M.D.
Hottest girl on television.

Yes, I am a fanboy. Sue me!

Dude... that's a nice snag if I do say so myself.

Go and buy a 500W power supply until you can get a better one. 300/280w really isn't enough for anything more than a basic stock config. Not sure if it will fix your geforce (check your warrenty if its fubar'd, then RTR (return to retailer) that thing). But it should make your PC a lot happyier in the long run.
I'm thinking that's just what I may have to do. I'll just go buy a higher wattage power supply tommorrow. I'm really happy that when I took the fan off my nVidia chip, nothing was melted or anything... so I'm good when it comes to having a non-screwed card.
Thank you to everyone who helped me out, now my comp will be in good working order in time for Half Life 2: Episode 1!

I think I may be pushing it on my PSU. It's maximum wattage is 300W, and according to the calculator at http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/, it says 280W+. It may be coming up on 300, because that site didn't have my GPU, I put it down as a vanilla 6800, but I really have a factory OC'd BFG 6600GT, which may suck up more power.

Congrats :). BTW, there's a new version of the Vista transformation pack out if you're interested. It has a bunch of improvements, but off the top of my head I know it gives you the full circular "start orb" (something that bugged me about the theme when I used it before I got vista).
Anyways, my desk:
