    You could just create multiple profiles in Firefox, and then load the secondary profile with "-no-remote" so that it doesn't intercept any URLs or clicks that would normally load in your primary browser.

    Is that like typing 'google' into Google?

    Sure it wasn't the other way around?

    iEEE1394 certainly sounds like a Apple kind of name. You gotta get a new iEEE so your iPod can interface with your iLife, etc.

    PS/2 cables were round, and certainly didn't go any way up.

    Yet another annoyance with the type A plug. I was trying to plug a USB key into my laptop in the dark, and then realised that I had just put it in the ethernet socket which was next to the USB ports.

    Damn thing bent the contacts in the ethernet socket as well.

    There seems to be a small margin of error (either with the USB plug or the RJ45 socket) so it won't work with all combinations of hardware.

    Apple isn't singling out blind people, they just hate everyone who doesn't dress stylish.

    This sounds strangely like the pro-gun argument.

    I'm not anti-statistics, I just feel that it is a tool oft misused by companies and governments in duping the average person.

    Steam games are the only PC games I buy.

    Not only have Steam got a user friendly authentication system, but they also have very reasonably priced games (if you buy direct).

    I would assume most of these genetic studies involve statistics, and we all know that there are Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.

    A cynical person would say they did it so they could mod their own post up; or maybe they had already modded someone's posts and didn't want to waste the points.

    Let me get this straight: You think that your client, one of the largest, most powerful airforces in the world, is hacking your software. And your plan is to blackmail these people? Good luck.

    The WinRAR archiver has an optional recovery record which protects against bad blocks.

    When you create an archive just specify the amount of protection you require (in practice 3% has served me well).

    Hey that would work great to prevent memory theft as well.
