The only connection I see involves the company that registered it. It may very well have been registered by a US company, and is definitely connected to Verisign.
Didn't there use to be some program MS had, to return their OEM software? I'm pretty sure that you could return XP for a refund if it came with a computer you'd just fdisk anyway. Either I was dreaming though, or that ended years ago.
Technically, Windows Me was an update. It had a somewhat updated GUI, and some new software. It may have been ridiculously slow and buggy, but what company makes Windows? Right.
For the very first time, I'm happy I don't have the money to buy the newest hardware. I mean, what's with the graffiti? That pad being stuck there forever is one of the most annoying things.
I'm happy I can't upgrade from my m100.
Opera still has ads, unless you register it. That's a good approach to ads. If you don't pay, you get a non-crippled, no-time limit shareware browser with ads, but no popups.
I'd be fine with a little bar in the corner, like a ticker, showing ads. No GIFs, just text, scrolling. That wouldn't be intrusive. If there were popups, or those flashing flash ads with shock the monkey, then, hell, I'm writing this on Windows, I might even stay here, in my misery.
Bah, am I the only one running GTA3 on a Celeron? That game runs like horsesh!t, but it's my video card. I can run at 640x480x16, or 1024x768x32, and I still get six frames per second (ooh, aah)!
"Are also proprietary. Are you sure your DVD-R can read the DVD you burned on another company's DVD-R?"
DVD-Rs can be read by any DVD reading drive. DVD-/+RWs will have problems.
400 MHz? At my school, we've got 486s and Pentium Is in the lab, plus one PII (400MHz). The classes either have a 486 or a PII 400. 1GHz? OH MY WOZ! Ontario's schools really must SUCK.
Digital Cinema is of much higher quality, so I think most of the megaplexes with convert within the next few years, but due to the cost, it may be a while before you see it in the family-owned 2 theater place.
"Honestly, that's like pointing out the fact that Rolls Royce builds engines for jet liners, then asking why they cannot make a flying car."
Rolls-Royce Auto and Rolls-Royce (the jet guys) are different companies. RR auto just uses the same name (I assume, the jet guys get a good representation from the cars)
Just thought I'd point that out.
Actually, Gnutella doesn't have to be on a set port. Gnucleus (and prolly others, I just use it) have an option for random port.
That's the problem with blocking ports, a lot of the offending program just choose a random one. And blocking everything but http, pop and smtp could potentially cause problems with good software.
I'd use logging, it lets you burn the letuseitanyway people, if you put up a list of rules, including NO P2P, and log which user uses what obscure port, you can get them in trouble. Trouble is always good. From my experience, the people who use P2P on school networks are people who dream of being script kiddies, and truly deserve any punishment they get.

I just ran and checked myself, on netsol.com. I'm not much in decoding whois results, but it is on chinese (I'm guessing) nameservers.
Don't forget ICANN is US-controlled. I think.

Use an onion ring!

Good for you, I was warned too myself, by the file that nice program SirCam sent me.
I prefer the term ass-paper.
$50,000? That'd be one hell of a way to get me a new G4 /me puts up main e-mail address on Usenet
I'm guessing you're not a big fan of **multiplayer gaming**? You pretty much need broadband to play.
In my opinion, there is only one background for the BSOD that would stop people from getting angry: pornography.

What about distros? .DEB, .MAN(drake), .RHT (redhat), .SLAK?
Oh, they've got great advertising, not even annoying for most people. Now advertising quantity is a different story.

The description from the Google cache is just plain bizzare. Of course, it could just be that I'm used to using regular time.
Oh, look at all the addresses. (strokes DSL modem)

Seeing as my first post has been modded down, it may just be that disclaimers are going towards that standard.
Read the site's notice, it's so sarcastic.
