You say this like the Chinese government could actually control 1.2 billion people if they really & truly yearned to be free.
The population of China is like the elephant that can be fettered with a thin rope, because heavy chains were used during it's youth. They can only be restricted as much as they *let* themselves be restricted.
Right now I'm playing Fallout 2 with a high rez patch on a 22" LCD. I've also got a widescreen mod installed for Torment, but it works with any Infinity Engine game.
Caveat: I really can't recommend buying a computer without a user-serviceable hard disk unless you also buy the extended warranty. Apple wants $450 to replace the 320GB hard disk on an out-of-warranty iMac with another 320GB. I found out the hard way on my own iMac. To replace the disk in an iMac you have to remove the glass and the screen. Get dust between those two during the repair, and it's game over. This is the rare case where the warranty is money well spent.
My mom has a Lampshade iMac. Hard drive is under the dome & only slightly harder to get to then the RAM.
Yes, figuring out where it was, getting it open, installing it, closing it up & testing it took right around 2 hours.
We are talking about a lampshade iMac here & I knew nothing about them when I started the upgrade. The RAM is on the bottom of the unit. Also, it wasn't my machine so I was being extra careful that I didn't screw it up.
I got my mom a iMac 5 years ago & have maybe spend a total of 7 hours working on it since then. Two of those were upgrading the RAM & two more were upgrading OSX.
I had never even touched OSX until we opened that iMac up. I had no problems setting it up & she has had no problems using or maintaining it.
There was a plugin for Firefox called Outfoxed that did something similar, but then the dev decided to monetize it & it went to crap. Also, with the massive botnets floating around these days, it'd probably be trivial to poison something like Outfoxed now.

What part of "successful" do you not understand?
The UK needs a successful non-religious Guy Fawkes.
Are you in the U.S.?
4 cents on the dollar I mean.
Thanks. Not a snowball's chance in hell of me doing all that, but thanks for the info all the same.
There's no state income tax in Florida either & you've still got us beat by 4 cents. Thank God for tourists & rich old people I guess.
10%!!! Holy crap.
Florida doesn't have a state income tax. Are we free & clear on this issue?
Not in the long run. Just imagine how fucked up those kids will probably with a parent like that?
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
What an appropriate sig!

If they do, they'll have a hefty wrongful termination lawsuit on their hands.
I'm curious, does that still work in Right-to-work states?

You've obviously never upgraded RAM in a G4 iMac then. 30 minutes of that was looking online to find out where the RAM *was* & how to get to it.
Fuck you, you fucking fucks!
Well, that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word!

If the Chinese were truly communist there would be no sales to pick up.
I don't know how it is where you are living, but a 16 yr old American has quite a few legal employment options.
Most of these fools sound like abused spouses that just can't leave the person abusing them.

What is the prevailing flaw that Firefox has? Are they like ActiveX scale flaws where they own the PC or are they more minor but still serious?
Javascript.
Not hardly.
Firefox = Results 1 - 5 of about 61
IE = Results 1 - 10 of about 367
