Your first mistake is not understanding what's going on...
That's NOT a splash screen. It's an installation screen.
Two very different things.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Okay, now it all makes sense.
Is it a mistake to not understand what's going on? Or is it a failure? I believe it is most probably a failure, because a mistake sounds more like something that could've possibly been causes by someone else. I think in this case I'm more of a failure, because I should've looked up the type of screen I was actually dealing with before I could really understand whether or not 1 hour was really a long time. A mistake would've been something more like tripping over my power cord -- by accident -- and having the whole system shut down. I'm going to have to dock you on points for not being more specific.
You've most certainly failed the class now.

I don't want to know what is doing. All I care about is the time left to finish install. I have seen installers showing that they are deploying SomeRandomName.dll. I frankly have no clue what that means and thus I do not really care much.

That's actualy what I meant, but since we have the power of the Internet, I knew I could just quickly spew my rant and someone, somewhere in the Universe would finally say what I meant.
That really is what I meant. Just let me know when you're done. will it be 5 hours? Ok. Then I'll go watch William Shatner and some Star Trek.
Thanks,

They said we "can", not we "have", put a person on Mars. However, they also didn't mention being able to bring them back!

It's a foregone conclusion, which is all we really need any more.
So it's happened in the future-past. Get with the times, man.

I have just discovered that Spotify has almost the complete collection of Midnight Oil. I am like a pig in poo this weekend. A couple of bottles of red, the Oils, and Visual Studio. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
What's on your neighbour-friendly audio output devices this weekend?
cheers

Does it get lonely out there?

aparently so....I heard them in fits down the corrider, then when one of them came in for a brew and the others turned up, that 1st video went on, and then it just sort of went downhill from there.
There have been many renditions of the goat in the first video all afternoon as people have been in other meetings and down the phone to each other.

Seems like a big mixup, but I like it. It's all the same style (sort of), yet everyone has their very own way to play and sing, a rare thing these days.
Now since I see read you here: I started developing a Client for the CP API, in Qt - I'll email you as soon as I got something to show off on my hands.
The console is a black place

Same, more or less. Saw them at The Big Day Out in Melbourne (aus). They were on at 9pm iirc. We'd waited around for their set since about 5:30 only to leave to go home about 10 minutes in. I reckon their sound-engineer was on more drugs than most of the crowd was.
Soundgarden on the other hand - now they knocked-out a helluva set. Wish I'd seen them more.
Not sorry I saw NIN, but glad I haven't tried again since. The studio stuff's much better value. The only worse experience I had was seeing RHCP somewhere around the same time. They just looked and sounded like a bunch of tired old men. It was quite pathetic, actually. The highlight was Flea's grandmother coming up on stage.
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

Best group I've seen in concert was 3 doors down, seen them 3 times and they are better in person then studio.
