    Depends on which country you are in but I'd say you can get or change your last name wherever your legal papers are issued. Everyone should have at least two names. No excuses.

    Why not a high alt blimp? The military already uses them for refueling stations.

  3. Re:Services.msc, use it! on Miscreants Exploit Google-Outed Windows XP Zero-Day · · Score: 1

    not something Microsoft would want to do, even though the Help and support center is of questionable use. That's why i disabled it in the first place.

  4. Services.msc, use it! on Miscreants Exploit Google-Outed Windows XP Zero-Day · · Score: 5, Informative
    HA help and support center, i've had that service disabled since i installed this thing long ago! If you try to run anything with the hcp protocol it flatout tells you:

    Windows cannot open Help and Support because a system service is not running. To fix this problem, start the service named 'Help and Support'.

    So you can disable that service and be at east that nothing is going to happen to you or your users.

    sharing protocols like DC++( and gnutela and countless others) already use TTH, there are TTH listing sites, basically what you ask for is already out there, it's just not specialized for porn. It will have the TTH-es/Magnet links for such files though.

    We may joke all we want but it's about time porn distribution sites be managed by scientists. Meticulous classification of each video, maybe they can track usage statistics for fetishes etc.

    None of that would be a problem if Mozilla had made it so third party programs can't install plugins.

  10. Re:Plugin uninstaller for Firefox? on Microsoft Hides Firefox Extension In Toolbar Update · · Score: 1

    Are you really that unimaginative. Very well I'll give you a through example.
    Make a username with password, encrypt config files with the builtin ntfs encryption system that makes them transparently encrypted to programs on read/write as long as the program is running under the credentials for that user and his password matches( isn't changed by someone ). Now all you have to do is run a fork of your app and execute it wit the credentials for that other user with the password and you're set. The system can't touch your config files, neither can autoupdate.

    I'd rather have a tickbox somewhere in the options that prevents any new extensions/plugins from installing.

    You can always hunt down the dlls of the plugins and then you can delete them manually. You get the dlls' paths from: about:plugins

    It is something you didn't ask for, that was installed as a plugin to a program that is not owned by Microsoft. It's about the principle!

  15. Re:Plugin uninstaller for Firefox? on Microsoft Hides Firefox Extension In Toolbar Update · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No it's Mozilla's problem. They should make it impossible for anyone to install plugins/extensions without user interaction and further more they should make it impossible for the uninstall button to be disabled. Have a damn "delete plugin dlls" button if nothing else damn it!

    How about some sort of sport where the higher the alcohol count in your blood the higher the bonus to your score is. The thing you are expected to do while seriously drunk should be something that gets harder the drunker you are.
    I'd certainly watch that, considering i don't care much for normal sports.

    Sleep mostly, hardcore gamers can have a life, i know amazing. But yeah. Sleep usually gets the axe. After a while you learn and adapt. Not before long you move through life in a sort of haze between sleep and being awake. You learn to control your body's urges and can keep awake for as much as you want or fall asleep on the spot.

    It is not hi JOB to do the test. Where i live the technicians that do the labwork are specifically trained to do that. The doctors know how to do it too. But would you rather have the doctor see 1 patient and do labwork or seeing 3 patients in the time it would take him to do the damn labwork?
