As easy as installing an adv. filter for windows:)
Anyway, I think I would agree to a few adv. in my desktop to support my distro (Ubuntu). Especially to finance their bandwith costs and their free CD shipments. And maybe even pay to some developers. A sort of "thankyou"...
Nothing has changed... This announcement just means that AMD64 will become/is a officially supported Debian arch. 32bit plugins still require 32bit browsers.
I believe Debian refers to "AMD64" because they (AMD) invented the technology, some work to port Debian into AMD64 began and then (much later) Intel released EM64T... So the name stuck. The official name should be x86_64.
I was very scared of XCOM. I played in dark nights, fighting against those misterious aliens, trying to get my team back alive. Never knowing where the aliens would be hiding... Or worse! Finding those creepy things coming after you and you have no TUs left! (specially that big two legged alien, and the one that didn't have legs and sucked your brain).
I went to the UBUNTU site, and looked for what was necessary to provide MP3 support [ubuntu.com], then I downloaded the specified software and tried to installed via USB. None of it installed as every program needed some other program (aka unsatisfied dependency). Even the mp321 needed the id3tag-whatever library.
I think that Apt has a nice "download related packages for another pc". What it does is basically download all needed packages and lets you store it in a CD. I don't know how it works since I never used it, but I know it exists. Maybe you should try finding that.
>> In a small town, you have a very limited number of people to choose your friends from.
While that may be the case in small towns, where I live is actually considered a medium-sized town (not hundreds, but thousands of persons). It's located only 20km away from the capital and you already can feel the difference. Here, children play on the street and neighboors know each other. But I wouldn't say that I'm afraid to offend anyone. My possible-friend pool is much larger than the people-I-know pool (and by a great magnitude). Maybe if they were of similar size I'd be in the situation you describe.
I believe that the problem is not Internet, but the increase in population. I have lived in small cities and big ones, and seen other even bigger cities, and you can really feel the difference. In small towns people are friendlier, more relaxed. For instance, you may say 'hi' to anyone you cross in the street and it won't be seen as something strange (in even smaller towns -rural areas- it's more like you must say hi, even if you don't know the other person).
In bigger cities, on the other hand, you can feel the distance from other people. It's much more colder. Think Japan, loads of people all together but they try to avoid contact with each other. The "personal space" is a few centimetres around you... The bigger the city, the worse the problem is.
Another thing I have seen is that people in bigger cities ignore unknown people more easly. In those cities I've heard other people talk about personal matters without minding who might hear them. In my home town that would be quite undiscrete and considered bad manners.
That's my opinion, anyway:)
Try Xforce: http://www.xforce-online.de/
It's a kind-of remake. Incorporates some ideas that were developed for other XComs games (like the combat). Very good stuff!:)
OpenTTD is much more smarter than TTDLX. Especially try the new path-finding algorithms and PBS (Path Based Signalling). I'm sure you'll be impressed!!

But you don't think "Intel" when you hear "SSE" (at least most people don't). Guess what inmediatly comes to mind when you hear AMD64? :)

Wait till they ban singing too.

So the problem now becomes truthful advertisers? If they lie to Google ("no, that sale didn't come tru your ad"), what can Google do?
Since Google has no control over the advertisers... Google just must believe what they tell Google.
