    I own a legal copy of "The streats of SimCity" on CD-R. I had made a backup copy, and the original was accidently destroyed. If you are prevented from doing the same thing, you should be able to get a free/pay shipping copy of the game if you can show that you owend a copy.

    I got my currnet job by emailing them my resume, getting offered an interview 2 weeks later, doing well at my interview, and getting offered the job 2 hours later. The pay isn't great ($7/hour) for what I do (Lots of research and debugging on our wireless networks) and I just saved the company about $1200, but, whatever, I don't really mind being underpaid, and I'll be able to get a much better jaob later because of this.

    I run a local HTTP server that blindly returns a 1x1 transparent png.

    Add to that use of mozilla.....

    and I really see very few ads.

    ICQ spam is a bit annoying, I wish GAIM had a filter....

    I get no more then a few spams per month, partly due to spamassassin (My ISP runs it) and partly due to being damn careful with my address.

    I use both sneakemail (I even subscribed before it did anything other then remove a nag screen) and spamgourmet. You should too. If you want to protect your webpage email address, that is easy too, just use javascript or images (harvesters can't parse these), and even using HTML entities should offer some protection.

    Eh, I just looked up.
    "A section of the registry that is saved as a file."

    I guess some parts of the registery get savet to seperarte files, or something. The password database is a seperate file, for example. I have used a boot disk to edit the password database, and it asks if you want to "write the hives (files) to the disk" so I figured that was just what NTFS called files, sort of like ext2's inodes.
