It's slightly vinegary due to an excessive amount of acetic acid, referred to as volatile acidity. Normally it's a sign of bad wine. But a minimum level of VA often helps to project a wine's aromas without ruining the flavour. Not sure on the exact science behind it though.

If you've been doing your auto-updates... there isn't much additional it really installs so there's little reason not to. In my case, it was pretty much transparent from a user perspective (though the release notes are a buttload of reading).

I did go through the release notes last night and it states if one has IE 7/8 beta installed before the SP3 update then IE can't be removed once SP3 is installed unless one uninstall SP3 first. Can someone confirm this?
Sadly, I don't have anything I can use to backup my system right now. Guess I'll hold off the update till a later time. |

By "backup" I mean that you should have all of your important files, programs, and/or settings easily recoverable should a disaster occur. Ideally you'd have this ready at all times, even if you weren't expecting a major operating system update. In the event that something goes wrong you could ideally just reinstall your former OS and in an hour or so you'd have a bare functioning system - move your files onto it and configure it and then you're set. Or if you're fancy, you'd recover from a disk image or a system-wide backup, and in a few hours you'd basically have your system as it was just before the update.
Either way, it's in your best interests to install it sooner rather than later. It won't provide you with any new features that you'll care about, most likely, but it'll improve security. Security matters. Too many people get lax about it until their systems are breached. Just keep the old saying in mind: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It applies.

For the same reason people don't save money for emergencies. Coasting by on luck.
Also, to [DOT].L - All service packs are essentially a "all in one package" of security updates for the system. If you've been updating constantly, SP3 isn't really needed. It does try to get you to upgrade to IE7 (as in the package auto includes it), but if I remember correctly you can choose not to install it when it asks.

Can someone teach me how to use tables? I have a new sig that has like 8 slices, and i can't put them right. The parts with problems are like that:
The one on the bottom is supposed to be at the right. So, is there any way other than merging the two parts into one gif to arrange the sig? |

The problem is your bits are not in the same height ...
Code:
well, anyway, the simplest thing to do is make sure the sig parts all have the same height since they usually aligned based on their bottom. You can check out the tutorial thread in FC for signature slice tutorial too if you want

If you place two graphics together with no space between them, they appear seamless. Look at my signature. Each of the portraits is a separate, linked image, but they appear to be a single graphic. In HTML you can use "maps" to make areas in a single graphic active, but vB doesn't support maps.
I tried using tables for this originally, but you can't control things like horizontal and vertical spacing in vBulletin tables. If I were writing HTML, I could use CSS styles to control this, but the spacing of vB tables is fixed. So the best solution I found was to concatenate the images without any intervening white space.
