Finally!

I've finally finished installing Visual Studio 2005, service pack 1, and the Vista update for service pack 1. Hopefully this means my system will be stable now.

I'm not counting on it though.

Memory diagnostics didn't find any problems. Disk diagnostics didn't find any problems.

I still don't trust the system to reboot.

I'll give it a couple of days.

When I launch Visual Studio, it recommends running it as an administrator. When I try to do that through the start menu... well... It still tells me I should run it as an administrator.

I'm not too sure about that.

Microsoft has sure found a way to make computing less convenient.

There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of "customer love" in that.

ACORN caught again?

King County looks into claims of '06 voter-registration fraud

King County prosecutors are investigating apparent voter-registration fraud in the 2006 general election.

Dan Satterberg, chief deputy to King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng, confirmed late Thursday that attorneys from his office will meet next week to brief their federal counterparts regarding evidence that hundreds of voter-registration cards submitted in King County were forged.

Satterberg said "there are significant irregularities" among a batch of more than 1,800 voter-registration cards submitted to the county by canvassers for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), a national group that represents the interests of low- and moderate-income citizens.

Why they found it necessary to commit voter registration fraud in a predominantly Democratic state I don't know. ACORN doesn't seem to represent much of anything, except elections fraud.

What a shame.
