that's how I switched to Openoffice.org (only MS Office CD I had was returned to me scratched to hell/lacked the p2p sk!11z to find another).
Coincidentally, that's also why I don't lend CDs anymore.
Impressed, whyever for?
Stuff like that is why I normally put together my own desktops. I wanted to stay away from laptops to avoid having to deal with some Windows-taxing OEM, but at least there seems to be a burgeoning whitebox, if not a DIY market for them.
Howdja guess?!?! You gotta like someone who takes Al Bundy for a role model.
But seriously, I take good care of my discs, but so many don't that unless you were one of the first to rent a game, you were almost guaranteed to see problems from the damage somewhere in the game. Fortunately, that was the time console modding and game copying came public knowledge and feasibility. So at least I didn't have to worry so much about lending out my originals...
I gotta second that. From this customer's experience the PSX/Saturn era was when renting games got unbearably shitty. You went from renting cartridges (no-moving-parts-needing PROMs on a PCB) that could take a lot of abuse, to paying $2 dollars to rent a game, only to find that the disc is scratched in just the right spot that the FMVs are slowed to 4 spf. Then comes the fun part of taking it back to the store two hours later. If you're lucky, they'll give you another copy and you can spin the roulette wheel again. If you're not, they'll call you a liar and give you the broken game back. If you're really lucky, you'll run into the 40-year-old lifer, who'll proceed to blame the scratches on you and charge exorbitant fees for your "irresponsibility".
I've never heard of garotte being pronounced with anything other than a "hard g".
In French, generally g+(a|o|u) is pronounced [g], and g+(e|i) is [Z].
For English, we use [dZ] instead of [Z]. French is pretty clear-cut, but like every other "rule" in English...
Many languages distinguish between "front" and "back" vowels like this.
On another note, I can't wait for the inevitable confusion when the punsters compete against the George Lucas fanboys over "yotta-".
Yeah... I pretty much realize I had forgotten those parts (especially the lobotomy and the western episodes) as soon as I made that comment. I was thinking more of how the Village and London were set up from #6's perspecitve than the methods his keepers used on him.
Don't get me wrong, The Prisoner was a damn good show, but science fiction? Maybe I'm biased with presentism, but besides the Rovers, I can't really think of any scientific elements in that show.
No! With a default setup, you'll only need root to change the "googlebox" entries. I do agree though, that this should be a user-controlled setting, like extensions and themes.

Start firefox as root (preferably from an xterm window), and follow LordSnooty's directions.
Give yourself write access to the plugins' directory (/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/searchplugins/ on my gentoo box), follow LordSnooty's directions.
That mozdev page also contains an extension that makes it easier to remove plugins, which is useful given that every update seems to reinstall the deault plugins.

I'm sure most people aren't telling them things they don't already know.
Sorry, there is no such file at 127.0.0.1 ;-)

Actually, some of the glowing praise of BG on this thread piqued my interest, so I'm downloading Season 1 right now.

You can do it two ways (AFAI can remember):
That mozdev page also contains an extension that makes it easier to remove plugins, which is useful given that every update seems to reinstall the deault plugins.
Plus if they had a finite namespace, it would probably be a PR nightmare when virus writers exhausted it.
I imagine there would be some kind of honor in writing the "omega-omega-omega-omega-shit"* worm.
