this doesn't seem like google is as much interested in defending the poor customers against the evil ISP's as it's trying to defend it's own commercial interests.
absolutely. but still - ever been pissed off because youtube is kinda slow lately?
that would be quite unrealistic - it's like saying that with a flying reindeer powered sleigh you can not only solve the travelling salesman problem in no time, but also visit every household in a single night - not to mention the intrude-problems ensured by electrical heating systems. So I absolutely dare to say that no software prob can ever be fixed in a millisecond. That is highly inprobable.
people 'wanking around' with stuff like this move things on. You know, the stuff you're only using. Yes, those lifeless curious nogood hax0rgeeks. Damn them for wanting to understand/improve things.
There are other, free apps which provide the same option. [...]
Personally, I find it amusing that people often thing that Mac OS X is not configurable.
'configureable' vs. 'needs third party tools to do stuff'.
Probably the Apple products bring the salvation for windows users, providing many creative (relative!) ways to work easier and efficienter. But they provide *one* way, that might fit for the masses, but not for the ones who are used to be able to choose from dozens of windowmanagers, configureable ones into the smalles detail, and so on. Heck, my ipod doesn't even allow to delete files on-the-go. No sloppy focus? Or no *choice* for it? Where are we, in the sixties? A friend of mine said if he wouldn't need hibernate/wlan and stuff he would run already solaris on his macbook for long. Or linux, and accept having to configure something all the time. So he has now macosx - and no choice.
Haven't got a TV now for around 7 years - it annoyed me more than it added to my life, partly because of advertisements. Probably would then (I guess in 200 years or so) it possible to watch TV again? Shows that make sense? Just a simple, mass-controlling media again with films sometimes and stuff?
Agree. 40 hrs just doesn't allow any private activities. No wonder everyone is reading news/private mails in work, not to mention phoning mum and IMing the world.
I've been using Mandriva for 6 years and I am thoroughly unimpressed with Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo, and all the other Linux distros that seem to be garnering so much attention.
That's obviously because you have no life. You really wanna spend nights recompiling stuff, or trying to get things work based on documentation written for other recent distros, or flaming about how enterprise-y your installation is to gain some respect. Probably you even meet real people. What a nongeek, yuck. Get at least a basement for your VAX/Apple-II collection.
who cares?
let's rather talk about powerpc-management. Or managers with powerpcs. Or pcs with managerpower. Or management by power, not pcs. Or pizza. Or getalife-installenlightenment.

flamebait? really? time to clean your irony detectors, ppl.
Ahh, you geeks and your distorted visions of unreal worlds... what will be next you hallucinate about? Other operating systems?
Really, kids today...

The only one you really need is Firesomething - randomly renames your http User-Agent to Firefox, Iceweasel, Hypnokoala, Turbokangaroo, Moonwolf...
sure. and if you invest a little more time, you could even integrate it into the browser menubar in drop-down tree-form.
YHBT. YHL. HAND.
Why is "linux" hard to pronounce? If you have problems with that probably it isn't for you. Oh, and btw the Linux pronunciation is documented.
What would you say about the grml project? Or about the overlengthy and oversimplified GNU Is Not Unix Image Manipulation Program Toolkit?

fair enough. Can you name a free tool providing the same functionality? [The friend of mine] would appreciate it.

VNC? (yes, you can)
