I've gotten some teflon mouse stickers (that could have been sent in a small envelope, really) in a 1ft x 3in x 3in Fedex box, packaged with styrofoam and bubble wrap. This was from newegg, sadly.
Install decent firewall/AV software, maybe NOD32 and Outpost (Kerio kills my system sometimes). If she still keeps breaking her computer, give her the XP install CD and stop fixing it for her. If your sister can force you to fix her computer for free over and over, you've got other issues.
I've actually done that at least a dozen times, especially when the ethernet jacks are in dark corners. And I'm not a clueless idiot; those USB connectors fit perfectly.
That's a bunch of bullshit. Any LCD ever made has ghosting if you're not blind. Even my 1-week old Viewsonic VP191b 19" with 8ms gray-to-gray has some ghosting. Check Tom's Hardware for LCD response graphs.

Your server sends me hypertext and certain images/binary data. I have the right to render and modify that data in my browser and cache in any way I want. If you don't like it, you're pretty much out of luck.
You could try to use counter-measures, but nobody would bother disabling an ad blocker to see your site.

And I probably missed a few. Foobar2000, Directory Opus, and Firefox are by far the most amazing.
the iAudio X5L 30GB should get you at least 25 hours, and with an AAA battery pack you'll have infinite battery life.
That would be exactly like Odyssey 5.
Someone may own rights to the rain water. You can't collect it in many parts of the world.
Install Adblock Plus and the Filter.G updater. That should take care of all the crap on the web.
Here comes the Aquinas Protocol... The Deus Ex writers were visionaries.
Well statistically, less people will die so the government couldn't care less if you were trying to avoid a hazard.
People who develop Perl or develop programs for it are seriously brain damaged and are far more likely to run into other problems.
I thought if someone knowingly viewed some illegal images, he should at least have the commonsense of clearing the cache!
This technical know-how shouldn't be required to stay clear of law enforcement.
I concur with AC in this nice little flamewar.
Can these brains do floating point operations?
Outlook 2003, which has best calendar/todo interface I've seen.
Wow. Basic case modding. PC users have been doing this for decades, yet it's big news when a mac user does it.
Looks like he just fixed it.
HAHAHA! Apparently not. See his own robots.txt
Ghosting has been significantly reduced in the past year. OverDrive panels Viewsonic VX924 (faster response, more noise)

Soon to be untrue. Viewsonic already released an 8ms monitor (15 ms max, in any situation). It's an 8-bit panel and does the full 16.7 million colors. See http://graphics.tomshardware.com/display/20050526/ index.html

I've got a high-resolution monitor and a 1024x768 projector. I need high-def content, now.
You can use AnyDVD to install drivers for Windows to ignore the region code and remove any protection on the DVD.
