If you use Vista, you’ve run into this problem. Vista seems to think that every folder contains music, because the “Artists”, “Album”, “#”, “Genre” and “Rating” columns are always visible. Look at my example above. This is after resetting all of the file type settings, etc… and Vista still thinks that a directory containing two MDB (Access databases) and a ZIP file warrant showing media columns. Ugh.

Please, Microsoft, fix this for SP1. The fact that it isn’t fixed already via a hotfix speaks volumes about how slow you react to even the smallest of bugs.

Just got a Samsung 22” LCD today, which is now my primary display. My older 20” Dell is now my secondary/side display.

Definitely the best vacuum I’ve ever used/owned, and for $400, it better be  The wife-acceptance-factor was very low for this at first (due to the price), but she now sees just how good it is at what it does.

Ahoy! Today be Talk Like a Pirate Day! Watch ye the video above, and ye be learn’n thar language!

Check it out. Microsoft’s selling Office 2007 Ultimate, which pretty much is every Office thing you can get, for only $59.95. But you have to be a student, with a current student ID and e-mail address. The site is http://theultimatesteal.com/ — check it out! And then you’ll be as amazed as that guy over there —>

Verizon Wireless wants to sell your personal information to marketers. Make sure they can’t do that, call this number: 1–800–333–9956. I just did it, took about 5 minutes to opt out of both Heather and I’s cell phones, and it was all automated.

As a side note, it really upsets me that so many companies sell your information like that. The law should state that the consumer is by default opted-out..
