Posted by Wade Tatangelo on Sat, Nov 10, 2007 at 3:23 PM

Here's some of the early obits:

"Norman Mailer, Outspoken Novelist, Dies at 84" (New York Times)

"Author Norman Mailer dead at 84" (Los Angeles Times)

"U.S. writer Norman Mailer dies aged 84" (Reuters)

"Author Norman Mailer dies at 84" (USA Today)

"Biographer: Norman Mailer dead at age 84" (AP/Miami Herald)

Nothing yet [10:22 a.m.] from Village Voice, the free alt-weekly Mailer co-founded in 1955.

Thanks, Wade. I think among his last books, Why are we at War and .... the castle in the forest are probably books that belong on required reading lists. I disparage the ways in which various columnists came out with railing, envious bitchiness AFTER he died but four pages long as though they'd been working on them since first signs of his final illness. He was what he was. Once he wrote about Pappy Bush (1991) his days were probably numnbered. But the aHOLES sure came out of the woodwork on this one. Norman was indelibly HUMAN. That lack shows in someone who would disparage the dead out of spite. Sickening * The Naked and the Dead. New York: Rinehart, 1948. * Barbary Shore. New York: Rinehart, 1951. * The Deer Park.

No one likes a Windows XP slow startup.When you startup your computer you want it to be ready to use immediately. I can not make it that fast, but I can help you fix Windows XP slow startup.First step to fix Windows XP slow startup is to find out what programs are loading when you startup Windows XP. To do this click start, run, then type in msconfig and hit enter. Look at the Boot.ini tab. In the box labeled Timeout change the time from the default 30 to 3. This changes how long it waits to before booting.
