Yes there's *lots* of crazy theories floating around about 9/11. And we can't trust the US gov either. So we're practically clueless. Please enlighten us, oh wise random internet user: Why exactly did Building 7 collapse?
Nothing *forces* Nvidia to write drivers at all. It's their own choice.
GPL is a protection against abuse. The only freedom-restriction is that people are disallowed to abuse the freedoms granted by GPL.
Nvidias propriatary software *IS* the exact opposite of freedom for anyone silly enough to use it.
As for quality of software being better on Windows, that's sadly true sometimes. GPL won't change, it's practically set in stone to guarantee freedom. Nvidia however, can choose to create free drivers, just as many others do. Blame Nvidia for failing to meet the costumers needs.
Microsoft likes to slap their Microsoft logo (ad) on things, it doesn't mean they built any of them. More likely Made in China than Made by Microsoft. But that goes for most hardware.
Ok internet, sounds like we've been challenged to dig up everything about Art Coviello. physical address family members list of friends salary personal history political leanings sexual orientation juicy pictures (plz warn if NSFW. Dat guy looks ugly)...and so forth.
Everything seems fair game. If you've got something you don't want anyone to know, then you shouldn't have done it in the first place. eh
I feel free using other free mail services. And should any of them read (scan) my mails, it won't be part of Google's total awareness information kleptomania.
Around the mid '00 i had a floppy binge period. I took parts from one floppy-cable and placed on a second connector - allowing A: and B: floppies on a single cable. But XP refused to read/write from both floppies at the same time. Can't remember how it worked on Linux...
And it interrupts our thinking for longer than those split seconds. And emotionally it annoy us and feeling often stays even longer.
My brother did a fun thing with a tele-marketer. He said that he *was* interested in buying socks or whatever, and said politely: Could you wait for a few moments, i'll be right back. "Sure". Then he left the phone for 30min. And then hung up.
I'm on Duckduckgo as my primary search engine. But for 10-20% of searches i did g! query But then i realized StartPage.com uses Google for the text results. And Startpage has better results quality than G because there's no Google bubble-censoring. Now it just do sp! query
Startpage is a tad slower but here's an AdBlock filter to mitigate that, ||startpage.com/favicon.ico ||startpage.com/graphics/blue-bg* ||startpage.com/graphics/enhanced_bg.gif ||startpage.com/graphics/results_back.gif ||startpage.com/graphics/google-results.gif ||startpage.com/graphics/startpage_logo_res.gif
o It's noticeably quicker than Mozilla Firefox. o It comes with proper StatusBar by default. o It has a few improved default settings, less memory bloat. o No silent, forced, auto-updates that may suddenly brake things.
Drawbacks, - It's Windows only. No native version for Linux, BSD, Mac etc.
I think they test for anorexia in Ski Jumpers. I think they should take a look at the long-distance runners next. And high-jumpers.
They test the horses health carefully during the games. I think it's time to start testing the humans. The humans are also being pushed beyond what's healthy.
Your wrong in many cases where the repair is trivial and easy. Your right, in many other cases it's not worth it money-wise. But there's additional benefits of repair. o Exploring new stuff. o Improving your existing skills. o Socialize with other people. IRL! o Just the *attempt* at helping someone is highly valuable.

That's fixed by updating to a more helpful message:
It is strongly recommended that you upgrade to something other than Windows.

I believe i wrote that for a reason. And so i believed i did. But now i'm confused. I'm sure *that* was the reason.

"If energy can neither be created nor destroyed, then logically the universe must of have ALWAYS existed."
Energy can exist in different forms. Currently the energy is in the form of our universe. And "before" that, something else.
Does anyone know how to detect DNT headers using PHP ?
Around the mid '00 i had a floppy binge period. I took parts from one floppy-cable and placed
on a second connector - allowing A: and B: floppies on a single cable.
But XP refused to read/write from both floppies at the same time.
Can't remember how it worked on Linux...
I changed the Registry and placed the Windows logs (.evt files) on floppy. And those creepy WBEM .log files.
I suspect that a floppy spin-up uses less power than a HardDrive spin-up from sleep.
In any case i get the wonderful ka-chick ka-chuck sounds randomly several times a-day. Windows is very log-happy.

Seems disclosure is dead. Lots of sites are near-100% ads, microsoft.com apple.com and so on only exists to promote their junk.
Or is the .com the disclosure?

I've switched to Palemoon portable, http://www.palemoon.org/
o It's noticeably quicker than Mozilla Firefox.
o It comes with proper StatusBar by default.
o It has a few improved default settings, less memory bloat.
o No silent, forced, auto-updates that may suddenly brake things.
Drawbacks,

I also have Opera USB portable ready in case i get bored.

saveie6.com: We want to achieve the following:
Get everyone to use IE6.
Remember that Microsoft was the moron that actually *wanted* the whole world to use IE6.
I just assumed they only selected four persons that could sing together as a quartet.

Nice. Now do 'row row row your boat'.
It depends. Has all patents for the T-Ford expired yet?
The hosts file can be shortened even more by appending blocked IPs, rather than a line for each. Like so,
0 badIP-1 badIP-2 badIP-3
And the localhost line can shortened to,
127.1 localhost

Use an old working Skype. v4.2 still seems to work fine. It's from before Microsoft got its hands on it.

Sounds like a perfect way for businesses to fly above the Laws. Hmmm... perhaps we need a torrent/magnet-cloud...

Seems Opera Mini works on iOS,

Apple was cranky about it, but after some kicking and screaming, eventually gave up.
