USB Drivers for Dell Inspiron 1501??!?!??!

Ok, so I finally removed Windows Vista and installed XP Pro, and all the drivers are installed except for the USB drivers, which I can't find for the life of me. The USB ports still work, but they're read as generic USB 1.0 ports so it annoys me about \"plugging into a faster port\" every ...

I'd get a Toyota Land Cruiser :) below the year 2007. The downside is they get about 15mpg, but I love mine TO DEATH and I feel completely safe in crappy weather.

As arrogant as such a move would be, at least it would motivate people to stand up and march on the government. Every cloud does seem to have a silver lining.

What's with the Bugatti Veyron's tail lights?

In pretty much every video of the Veyron you can see the tail lights blinking and flashing in a very cool way. I'm just wondering if that's intentional or something to do with LEDs and cameras... Either way it's pretty sweet :)
