Been a while since I ran Windows but I believe that is what the Windows Registry file is called.
If you can dual boot into a modern Linux with NTFS write support and mount the Windows disk, you can change the "ntuser.dat" file for another one that you gained from illegal means.
Obviously, the registry will contain all kinds of data on your hardware so it might not work but *in theory* you can just boot into Windows, start Internet Explorer and have instant access to some rich guy's bank login.
Chrome also uses a lot more memory than any other major browser
I doubt that.
When running Firefox I frequently see it using more than 500MB of RAM with only 3-4 tabs.
This is mostly down to the behaviour it has of not releasing memory for recently closed tabs, for some bizarre reason it keeps the most recent pages in memory rather than release the RAM and just store the recently closed tabs as history URLs.
No doubt this is to store session data and stuff like that in case you hit Back or the browser crashes but it's so inefficient - why not write the browser/history state to disk instead?
The clowns working on Firefox had years, YEARS, to get their act together and rewrite the STINKING PILE OF SHIT that is the Firefox codebase. But they chose to flame anyone who dared talk about the massive architectural problem in the absurdly outdated Firefox process model.
Dunno about anyone else, but it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to know that everytime I start up Firefox there's probably a couple of lines in the code from Netscape 4.x.
Simpler days back then, none of this Facebooktweetfrommyiphonegoogleajax2.0 nonsense.
We had Napster 1.0 and Hotbot, good times... you can keep the 56k modems though.
That's probably one of the biggest markets for this. A game similar in concept to those Virtual Sex DVDs would sell very well.

The sad thing is that gamers (i.e. technology enthusiasts) are usually the ones who are hacked by the Chinese.

The UK with their surveillance society is almost there already.
Fixed that for you.

Apple: creating computers for idiots since 1976.
They were crying out for Ubuntu 9.10.
Ok, fine. But only if I can have Kim Bauer next to me.

Parent is probably the comment of the decade. Mod up!
Blizzard actually introduced colorblind mode into World of Warcraft recently too.

You said that "I Anal", I'd rather not look it up myself.

Doesn't Opera 9 work on Windows 2000?
Yes, yes it does.
Even Windows 95.
It seems that Firefox performs pretty badly when you have installed a few addons though, especially things like Firebug.
I doubt that.

This would be hilarious as a petrol station attendant.

Wow, a capital letter...
There's also a booming market for new/used games and consoles from the 90s and 80s.
One only has to search eBay for "NES" to see this...
Unless it's something by Valve or ID, I always buy from the second-hand market. It just makes sense.

Please, don't go giving him ideas.
As far as I know, HTML & CSS only renders if you use US English.
For example:
<span style="color: blue">works</span>
<span style="colour: blue">this will not</span>
You can also only use HTML tags in US English, such as <title> etc.
