I don't want insects and fungi eating away at a computer chassis while the computer inside is still operating. Recyclable materials sound like a better idea than something that prematurely falls apart and rots away.
Flash Player's own updater never seems to appear until I reboot the computer, which is quite a rare event for me (sleep mode works fine, no need for shutting down). This is a bad design. It took me a while to figure out what triggers the Flash Player updater to appear: It's in the Scheduled Tasks area. It runs daily at about 12:30PM, and It's set to stop trying to update 72 hours after it starts. So if you rarely reboot your computer, you don't get Flash Player updates.
I was just wondering if the quality of the video drivers has improved at all since ATI was rebranded to AMD. ATI was notorious for how awful its video drivers were. My current laptop has a Mobility Radeon X1400. Whenever I play a video that uses Overlay, there is about a 2% chance that it will hard-freeze the system. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that on an Intel or Nvidia graphics product. I also sometimes get system-stopping delays that are several seconds long when running 3D games, it seems to happen just before textures are created, like it has something to do with the game trying to allocate video memory. But anyway, have ATI's drivers gotten any better?
It's time we stop calling it "10 base T". The speed got boosted from 10mbps to 100mbps back in 1995, so there's nothing "10" about it anymore, unless you're surrounded by very bad networking equipment.
"Good ol' Courier" is that font where the 1 and lowercase L look almost the same. At least the uppercase i looks distinct in that font. I use Consolas now.
You are aware that Napster was the very first popular P2P file sharing program, right? You're talking about it as if it's not. Granted it used a centralized server to connected to, but the downloading and uploading was entirely P2P.
This thing is replaying back some kind of message to affect what your brain is going to do. So when is it going to be turned into a brainwashing device to make sure you love the Dear Leader?
I use HTTPS everywhere. Sometimes I have to turn remove a site from the list because the https:/// version does not load at all, but the http:/// version loads fine. So that's the only problem with that extensions, often the https:/// versions of a site simply don't work at all.
The rule about Super Mario Bros is that you NEVER refer to it as "Mario Bros". They are two completely separate games. Mario Bros was even made for the Atari 2600 back in the day.
I think this is more about taking genes from some animal that can photosynthesize, and putting them into another animal. Genetic engineering. Of course, I'm not one of those mad scientists that do this kind of thing.

Not to mention the Newton and the Pippin.

I think Windows fixed this in XP. I've seen programs that stop responding still be able to be minimized or force-closed with the X.
They send you the warning by replacing http websites you visit with the warning message.
Turtle Graphics on the Apple II was extremely boring, I'd never suggest LOGO to anyone, ever.
Hard to lie about your zip code when they can Geolocate you. Need to use a proxy to get around that.
Facebook had a really good idea on how to make money. It involved an IPO that made Facebook employees rich and screwed everyone else.

In Illinois, a law like this has already been signed, and will take effect on January.
Reading the text of that law, it doesn't ban employers from using packet sniffers.

Caldera, Mandrake, Knoppix, Ubuntu, Mint
Caldera had the nicest installer, since it had a Tetris Game built in.

You want a good x86-only Linux program? Wine. There's a good one for you.
This is basically the "Evil Bit" all over again. It's completely non-binding and ineffective.
What actually works is using Adblock and Requestpolicy, because that actually prevents third party tracking.

Put on Bubble Bobble 83 for some 2P link game action.

"Guy" is the character's name.

Tried that on an emulator in several different modes.
Nothing but "?SYNTAX ERROR"s all around.
Do you have any evidence that this command is real?
Making a glove?
Why make an electronic glove when you can wear a specially printed regular glove and use several cameras to see where everything is?
Next Media Animation (also known as 'those crazy Taiwanese animators') seems to be doing a good enough job here.
