I actually do find network policies that prevent shutting down and/or rebooting retarded. We have that where I work. I usually just end up holding the power button down anyway.
The terminology still doesn't make sense to me. The way I see it, the server should be the one running software and serving information about the windows that the client is about to draw on its screen.
And to preempt the obvious, I'll be sure to suggest increasing the virtual CPU speed. I have a slow-ass 1.7 GHz P4 and it runs most everything fine, including Privateer. If I had that 2 GHz machine, I could probably run Ultima 7 fine. Right now, it feels like it's running on the old 486SX laptop I used to have.
Alternately, DOSBox has gotten a lot better at running Privateer since 0.62 was released (current is 0.63). It went from really choppy and stuttery to playable at a frameskip of 3 on my P4 1.7 GHz machine. Since the game is designed to run at 20-30 fps, not much difference can be seen, especially since I played the game at slower framerates on a 386 originally.
This is easy. Install linux, put mozilla on it with maybe the flash plugin if you're feeling generous.
Of course, extensions and plugins and easily be added within.firefox under the user's home directory - unless there's an administrative way to prevent that (which could be useful for enterprise environments as well).
I can't find a working link to the video offsite because, according to Google, there is only one copy of the clip on the planet and every Geocities page links to it, so it's been removed.
Here. This one is on my computer. The web server's on and off - if you can't get to it, it means I've booted into Windows to do something else.

If people changed their own passwords as often as people change the BugMeNot shared passwords just to piss others off, everything would be much more secure.

Haha, funny actually. But I believe the success of this is because it integrates so well into the web experience. The closest anything else ever got was the ed2k:// delimiter for eDonkey, but never really took off - probably because every download took hours to finally pick up speed.
Perhaps the difficulty in battling BitTorrent is because it's harder to argue that its only purpose is to pirate material? We've seen plenty of good uses for it, such as alleviating the bandwidth pains of downloading Windows XP SP2, high demand game patches (Take THAT, Gamespy and your system of waiting behind 400 people in line!), etc.

Even if "hello world" is perfect, I imagine you still have stdio.h to take into account.
I use Gentoo, you insensitive clod!

Ok, found another in case I turn off my web server:
Here.
I've got a video that says otherwise.

I was actually thinking about this bike. Why stop at 1300cc's when you can have...uhhh..that thing has to be at least 15 liters.
That....is....the....coolest.....thing I've ever seen.

Brockman: "......what?"

Eat up Martha.
Kearney: "Bah!" (throws the Newton and it hits Martin in the head)
I can make this on topic again, watch:

I caught it.

Until they hit the windmills.
At which point they turn purple?
How about one that doesn't cause Half-Life 2 to stutter? Yeah, I also went there.
I'm sorry, but that will cost you two third world countries.
If you homebuild, it'll cost you one Congo.
I'm with what George Carlin said about this one. The word has no harmful intent in and of itself; it's all about the context in which you use it.
This article did not use it to directly demean black people, so it's pretty much safe.
Still wondering about their choice of games...
