My father-in-law hates Firefox. After spending three hours installing all the add-ons he thought looked good, it ran like molasses and crashed all the time.
I used to buy music. I used go ravin' from Friday through to Sunday. I lived for the tunes. I spent thousands of pounds over 15 years.
TV sucks dog's dick, apart from the football. Reading material on the internet doesn't excite me. Gritty books don't shock me. The punishment for beer doesn't fit the crime. I'd rather spend my money on plants for the garden.
Same as my mate. He got a tat of some Chinese lettering, when drunk. The day after he went to the local Chinese takeaway and asked them what it meant.
"Nice picture!" the Chinaman said and my mate walked away bemused. He was forever telling people it translated to "nice picture". No one was brave enough to tell him it meant nothing. It was amusing keeping quiet.
I don't think your setup is that unusual these days. NetBSD is obviously not the norm but...
Take my average family setup: Two laptops, one desktop, xbox, and Wii. All connected to the internet through a router. Not really so different to yours? No ISP would care about five machines; all they see is the cable modem; all they care about is a monthly payment and no abuse.
You say that but a guy I work with had never been involved with a court case in all his twenty years in project management. One day, he woke up and said "I'm going to miss a step, fuck this up and see where it leads" just to gain the experience. It does happen.
I'm forever "being wrong". I often make an untrue statement to see if I'm corrected or if I'm fishing for information. Yes, I am that cunt.
I could be sent a phishing email. I could click the link. I could provide the phisher with 3 numbers from my pin, and 4 characters from my password. Over time, I could provide them with the whole PIN and password.
What could they do with this information?
Pay my bills and nothing more.
Why?
Because I have a card reader that provides an encrypted string after I provide it with my chipped card, PIN and a string from the website. I need to do this for every new transaction.
I had so much to say on this thread but, once again, I joined the party too late.
There is only a single feed with football. Even the instant replays are the same for each broadcaster. Some TV stations even buy the commentry for the feed. The video producer adds nothing apart from score titles and maybe adverts at the bottom of the screen.
I know this because I have to watch foreign football channels to watch live games in the UK. We lower British Chavs cannot watch all the football games in the UK as THEY ARE NOT BLOODY WELL SHOWN LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY! (god bless P2P video streaming and god bless the queen!)
I work 37 hours a week, not a minute more, not a minute less. I own my house with a garden, run a decent car, have a family (who's eye colour I know), two computers and pets.
I'm sure your busy life makes you happy, when you have time to live it.
I submitted this about 2 or 3 years ago. I even posted a link to a webpage that lists ALL UK schools running fingerprint scanners. The guy running it needs a pat on the back. I enjoyed our email exchange and he enjoyed the scanned letters from the school.
But, I can no longer be bothered, it ended up not being...

I get a lot of value out of the five quid Xbox360 Arcade games. I only bought Risk a few days ago and it already say 18 hours of gameplay!
Sure, I can't sell them but they're only a fiver. I loss far more money selling a brand new game after a couple of months.
Not true. They let you in with minor criminal offences to your name.

Large Button Mode with Extra Toolbars for me please!

Shit, I'm fucking old too. Now GOMY.
I used to trust my 10gb hard drive with all my data...
Is it?

Now I want one too. :-(

I've just come back from mainland Spain. Most popular tourist destination in the country. First time, and probably the last.
What a bunch of lazy fuckers! Height of the tourist season and shops still shut one day a week. And they shut for 2-3 hours in the afternoon.
Resturants offering American sized portions don't help their profits.
No wonder they are in the shit.
c'mon, sharing is caring, so upload it somewhere like Rapidshare.

My house is over 100 years old I fully insulated it for little cost.
The fact that the engery generation business must pay for some of it helped a lot, but it would have only cost a few hundred to do it myself.
Yes, I phoned my supplier and said "help me reduce my bill!" and they sent me a fancy box.
1. It doesn't like interference. The signal is lost by some walking by it. Nasty, nasty.
2. It requires a hungry hot transformer (wall wart)! Why not a couple of rechargable batteries?
3. And this is the stinker: It tells me that the cooker (hob and oven) and the TV use the most power in the house. duh.
I can't not use the cooker. It's one of the things that needs to be used once a day. Everyone needs a hot meal each day.
The plasma TV (yeah, I know) is also something I couldn't stop using in the evenings. Gotta have some Xbox game goodness before bed.
Complete waste of money for my supplier and in the longrun, me.

I still believe that only the greedy get scammed.

The UK FA banned rattles back in the day. They were a British footballing tradition.
We've had fans banned for chanting too...

I propose Yankish. It seems a fitting name.
Rubbish. He's real. He has a website and a CV.
Spain too. Over ten years ago they had them, in Spain.
Charging... Get a spare key from the man on the desk... Helps to keep the AC on when you are out too.
What an achievement!

Try the other demos using FF. They give a real view of what this Smokescreen is capable of. I was mildly impressed.
