Vista Bashers Beware

I love Vista.
There I said it. I'm out of the closet.
Vista rocks.
I'm coming out now because I'm sick of how some people feel that just because I have Vista I must be a complete retard. Now while I do admit Vista has its flaws, there is no need to go about destroying it before its even had a chance to get going. Yes Its heavy on power, Yes its heavy on Ram, Yes its not as fast as XP but so what! Given enough backing, enough chance, it could be great. Greater even than the almighty XP.

Don't get me wrong, i think XP was/is great! Its stable, reliable and a good standard to work of. But that's just it. Its the minimum standard for most programs now. which means its stunting the development of future breakthroughs. Say for example with laptops. the standard pre Vista was 512MB or 1GB. Anyone with more was using it for gaming. Now with Vista, the standard is 2GB, you must have a fast processor, and a good audio, video and graphics card. Simply put, Vista is raising the Bar for manufacturers, putting them under pressure to offer more for a lower price!

Its only been 15 months since Vista's release. That may seem like a long time to some but to be fair with the lack of confidence in it, no wonder it hasn't been developed further. For god sake, XP SP3 was also being developed. I feel that XP must be discontinued if Vista is to stand a chance of developing into a viable, useful and stable OS.

Oh and anyone who says that they're changing to Apple, Don't take the piss, we all know you don't mean it!

Simply too much!!!

I'm so sick of study already and i only have 3/12 modules done. its horrible to be stuck in studying and hear about the fun everyone is having. Sometimes i hate science, the fact we have 12 tests, hundreds of labs which count for fuck all but that we must still pass in order to sit the exam in the summer. Its not fun, hasn't been for a while.  I sometimes wish i had done an Arts degree, something involving Psychology. 

Issue of Transgender legal status

Ok, firstly i have no problem with transgender people. I feel that a person has to right to be happy in their own skin. 

My problem comes from the point of view of my own field of interest, Forensic Detection. 

Let me paint a picture:

A murder seen is discovered and some hair/skin cells are the only evidence that was able to be collected. Upon analysis it is determined that the suspect is a caucasian male. The suspect DNA is passed through tall the available databases and again no hit. The only suspects are a young black male and a middle age woman. 

So who could it be. 

My problem is that despite the fact the woman is now officially and legally a woman, she was born a man. her DNA still shows that she is a man! 

Now i do feel that all transgender persons should have status, but for official documents it should say that the person is Transgender. i know this seems harsh but if it helps to save lives, or help speed up the legal system then yes, i believe it would be a positive step. 

When i say Official documents, i mean official ID, all government records etc. the persons own personal ID, College etc, should state her sex as Female.

I'm open to comments or criticisms on this point.

Thoughts on this?
