    nonsense, GWB used it to overthrow Clinton

    what? there are OTHER countries?

    "Installing a 40gig hard drive is supposed to be less work than installing GNU Darwin from an installer CD?"

    it IS on an El Capitan PowerMac...

    congratulations!

    by misspelling LOSES for the nth+1 time, you've tripped the hidden switch that will cause the USA to culturally self destruct once and for all. Your new masters will be able to fucking spell.

  5. Re:IE tested on BBC says "Avoid Explorer" · · Score: 1

    I did. With Omniweb. Here is what happened:

    1. Your IP address

    It didn't pick up my IP address. Fair enough. I'm sitting behind a hardware firewall.

    2. Hidden tracking files (cookies)

    It couldn't list any of my cookies.

    3. Exposed Clipboard

    Nope, nothing here.

    4. Hack and Exploit Vulnerability

    Nada.

    I couldn't see any "click here" links.

    5. Browser and Operating System

    Again, nothing at all.

    6. Geographical location

    Nope, nothing.

    7. Your network

    Again, sweet FA.

    I run Omniweb 4.1 under OSX 10.2.2. Sure, I don't doubt that Omniweb has it's problems - but the stuff that Anonymiser is shreaking about is generally not that big a deal and flagged only so they can sell their products, none of which seem either necessary for - or compatible with - my machine.

    thirty two millibits? I would have thought that every gfx card ever made could manage at least THAT.

    If you meant 32 MB, however, you're an idiot - as even Quartz Extreme will run on 16MB and OSX 10.2 is quite happy to run with as little as FOUR MB.

    wise up fuck face

    a war for oil is EXACTLY what it is, and it's GONNA happen whether Saddam complies with the UN or not. Why the fuck do you think Bitiain is supporting it? BP perhaps?

    pneumatic rubber tyres have been used by the French for fucking EVER. If you really want to see what happens when a country INVESTS in mass transport systems, look no further than Paris.

    They still have traffic jams and shitty parking though...

    public transport systems don't make money ANYWHERE - coz they're not really supposed to but, rather provide a (sometimes questionable) benefit to the public at large.

    the lip sync seems VERY well managed for a Babel fish...

    anyway, that doesn't even touch the issue of humans-with-funny-foreheads = aliens. Star Trek 'science' is beneath contempt.
