@AdamLeahey probably drink it and quickly regret it
Dear Internet: What's the absolute cheapest, worst bourbon available? Don't worry, it's for science.

@ConstantineXVI: never heard of it... don't know too many people in the military though
@androidcentral: also, the Epic is $199 on Amazon with no rebates, but it's still showing as a "pre-order"
@ConstantineXVI: not sure about the first requirement, but I've yet to be shot at Chase

Windows 7
For the last couple of days, I’ve been playing with the RC of Windows 7 x64, and I thought I’d post some thoughts.

XP Embedded Studio isn’t actually a horrible application at it’s core. Now, the user interface and documentation are God-awful, which is why I’m writing this post. As you saw in my last two entries, I’ve been working with XPe for … Continue reading

Yesterday, Microsoft opened up Windows Vista for a public beta, so I thought, “What the hell, I’ll give it a try.” First off, downloading the DVD image was a pain. Microsoft really needs to learn the virtues of bittorrent. The … Continue reading
