I'm fairly certain he's taking a stab at the tendecy of Americans to be overweight and thus larger than their European counterparts. I could be wrong though.
Perhaps what he means is that any browser can read an html file, and most can import it? The smart ones can even open it directly and use it as a bookmarks file, avoiding the problem of 'import' sticking everything into a subfolder of whatever bookmarks file it is currently using.
Even Win9x, by default, opens the "wicked" file-sharing ports when you setup networking. The Client for Microsoft Networks, installed by default, opens 137-139. Remove it and File and Print sharing though, and those ports close, and a 9x box will present a completely-closed surface to the outside.
I think you downplay the importance of effective anti-virus too much. As much as we may not like to admit it, vulnerabilities in the browser (no matter which browser) and infected ads will be with us for a long time. Human error and complacency will be with us forever.
That's how my dad's system was owned, and he wasn't even using Internet Explorer. A good AV would've stopped the infection cold. A firewall (outbound control) would've prevented it getting any worse, but wouldn't have stopped it completely. I take complete responsibility for it, though--I had been using the system as a testbed for trial-versions of various AV programs, and this happened after I had removed one and neglected to replace it (error). I also incorrectly assumed I had updated it (complacency) against the exploit which was used. The site where the infection took place? wfaa.com -- a local news station's website.
I just walk past the receipt checkers, and have never had trouble returning anything. Heck, I even returned a couple of their mobo/cpu specials with no problem.
I took my first Linux baby steps on Mandrake, back when it was called Mandrake. I liked it, I think it's the perfect distro for windows refugees (disclaimer: I have not tried other friendly and windows-like distros, such as Linspire or Xandros yet) and even found the killer app that made me stick with Linux: screen. After that I cut my teeth installing Gentoo on aging hardware, and then Debian. Debian is a breeze, compared to Gentoo.
Being that Paypal has been owned by eBay for quite a while now, I doubt eBay sellers have much trouble. It's the donation recipients and merchants unrelated to eBay that probably have the most trouble.
What they should've done was include both. I think this is one reason Opera, which lacks some of the UI elements that I complain are missing from Firefox, doesn't drive me crazy like Firefox does. In Opera you can add a Google/Ask/whatever search box, you can type 'g query' in the address bar, or you can do as I do in Seamonkey: type your search query in the address bar, hit down arrow, hit enter. Do that in Firefox, and it'll treat your query as a URL. Do that in Opera, it'll assume you want to send it to your default search engine.
Right. It uses the more-complete UI of Mozilla.;) And it's anything but clunky. Maybe I'm biased as a Netscape fan from back when, but I rather like the UI. Interface aside, Seamonkey uses the same engine as Firefox, and at times uses a newer version. Mozilla/Seamonkey was on Gecko 1.8 long before Firefox got it.
The worst thing Comcast has done to me is sell me off to Time Warner/Roadrunner. I say this after having to go through the BBB to get a credit for my intermittent connection, which after the repair, was rock solid. I'd eagerly welcome them back. Maybe I'm nuts, maybe I'm lucky.
I'm not sure if it was quite ten years in a closet or not, but only a few months ago, I helped my granddad clean up and prep a 486/25 for donation. Yeah, someone actually wanted the thing. And yes, it booted up, Windows 3.1 and all. Again I'm not sure how long the machine actually spent in the closet (unpowered), but it had to have been close.
Your subject says hentai, but your post just says anime in general, and refers to the entirety of the industry. Hentai is not the entirety of the industry. The entirety of some publishers' catalogs (NuTech, Pink Pineapple, Milky, etc.), yes, but not the entire industry. ADV, Geneon, and many others would be just fine.
Hey, when I played Need for Speed Carbon, I laughed the first time I smashed into one of the roaming Progressive SUVs, and remembered it. I started to target them. >:)
My friend has a custom-built table for his computers. It has space to accomodate at least three machines, holes out the back for the cables, and three large square holes upfront of sufficient size to accomodate a pair of 5.25" drives (burners, drivebay-based I/O, etc) for each PC. He only has two in it, with the third space being used to house his cable modem and router. The top of the table is hinged in three sections to allow full access to whatever's inside. It looks like your typical wooden table, until you spot the drive bays.
The only problem is the fans he put in the sucker are hellah loud.
Even if you do change the subject line mid-stream, gmail should be smart enough to notice and keep track of this. Emails have strings identifying the message itself and the message it is in reply to (if applicable). Gmail currently doesn't seem to know this, for some strange reason.

"Nobody expects home DSL connections to have more than 90% uptime or the transfer bandwidth set in stone."
You've never done tech support for an ISP.
Er, what? His app, his installer, his choice whether or not to provide such a switch.

Damn, and I can only squeeze about three hours out of my aging ibook G3. (running ssh and web over wireless)

I knew hell had frozen over yesterday, when it snowed in April, in TEXAS. This just confirms it!

I work tech support. And people think *I'm* patient! I think they'd faint if they met you. I would. You must have the patience of a saint. Or a God.
Somehow I misread that as Sony entertainment on a boring work day. I thought it was pretty funny that way.

I watch those, and for some reason always think, Damn I gotta get into that racket. Them motorcycles was fast...
Damn, synergy sounds pretty sweet. Now I want to rearrange my desk to make room for the multi-monitor setup I would want for it...
Seamonkey as well. Stays at around 60ish MB.
**and yes checking slashdot after I've come back after a night out does mean I haven't bought a lady home***

Freudian?
*****OK now I really do have to go, but the question is - To Preview or not to Preview?
I think you should've previewed mate, but being as you'd just got back from the pub...

Just to play a little devil's advocate--
