If you've not done this XP registry edit before - give it a try

Congratulations - you just saved yourself 400 milli-second show delays on your desktop menus!!!

E.g. - Each time you go to say START > Program Files > Accessories > Entertainment > Volume Controls... you now save yourself 4x400ms i.e. 1.6 seconds of your life each time you do it!!! Same goes for other drop-down menus.

Can ANYONE explain what possible reason there could be for adding a 400ms delay to all menu shows!? It just slows everyones' PCs down. Crazy!

I've heard about Microsoft, that it's software specially slows down any computer, so that makes PC much more slower than it really could run in normal state  ("normal"? Does that supposed to mean that we shouldn't use MS software? - I'm afraid we can - we just afraid of changing our routine...) That's why I'm learning how to properly use UNIX systems! 
Stop the monopoly of Microsoft, stop adoring "Windows", because it's crap!

You know it. I recently got my first mac. I have to say that this is one of the single greatest experiences of my life. Aside from the fact that it is faster and always works with no problems, it is also much easier to use.

A friend says to me "But the mac only has about 5% of the market share. That concerns me."

I say "Why? A small percentage of people dirve a Benz. Does that mean it is not as good?"

This is absolutely unheard of... these multi trillion dollar corporations like Mircocock are a thorn in our side. When technology is held from the public and "detuned" it only builds the basis for a "technological revolution".

Thank the Lord for modern day hackers. If anyone remembers the hype around Doom3 only being playable on XP, I was shocked to learn it is easily playable on ANY OS. By the simple means of changing a string from "11" to "00" with a hex editor.
