    Expand all the comments IF you will accept Wikipedia as factual. I included a link in this very thread in a response to GanjaDude.

    I bought a copy of AbsoluteFTP way back many moons ago. It came with lifetime upgrades back then. I do not think they make it any more. Anyhow, I have what I believe is the last version and it works on any Windows OS I have tried it on. You can, if you want, find it via other means.

    Yeah, right... You won't be leaving. I guarantee that I see AC posts in the next article's comments. I am on to you!

    I have a few programs over at SF that I uploaded long ago. They are not FOSS, they are simply free. There is no restrictions, they are public domain as that is how I released them. You can take them and sell them or do whatever you want.

    They are also fairly XP-centric so they are no longer that popular. Anyhow, my point is that I do not even have the email address any more and the projects are abandoned in every sense of the word. I checked and, no, they do not have any wrappers with adware. I suspect popularity matters (as it would rationally do).

    Yeah, he oozes sleaziness bound in a nice jacket. I hate to admit it but I preferred his father BUT I absolutely commend him for this. His stance on gay marriage, and I only listed a couple of his faults, is that they should be illegal BUT they should be allowed to have a civil contract. Separate but equal. I say that, to do this, we need to abolish all future marriages and all should be allowed a social contract.

    I do not vouch for the validity nor do I know what your definition is... I did have this in my favorites though:

    You can say that those are infected applications but that is splitting hairs as far as I am concerned. Computers do not get viruses. People do. Security is a process and not an application - this is true for all computers.

    My point exactly. I do not even know what I would do. I suspect that when you become president you learn a lot that changes your view. I am not sure how I would respond to what I do not know.

    I mistakenly left my wallet at the VA hospital after an appointment with my GP. It had about 5k in cash and a variety of cards and my ID and license.
