You really think no-one in his empire is technically savvy enough to know that? He's just trolling. There is no way his websites would survive if he opted out of Google's index so robot.txt is out. Faking page specifically for google is against their terms of services and they might stop indexing him. So that's also out. The only thing he's after is a piece of the ads money.

The news is not that there's a rift of about 6000km long. Other people had noticed that. The news is that some very specific stuff that mere human don't give a frack about may happen there. Of course since I'm not a geologist I have no clue why it matters; if it's news or only news for that particular location or quack science.

For the first time they demonstrate that activity on one rift segment can trigger a major episode of magma injection and associated deformation on a neighbouring segment.

To me a the server is the machine running the application that provide me with a service. In this case the service is running twm and mosaic and I use my "XClient" to access it a bit like I use my Mosaic to access your personal homepage on the world wide web. Why my X display is called a server while my html display is called a client is not clear to me.

Whether the direction of who open a socket first matters to define which machine is the actual server is up for debate.

Hey I tried to install windows 7 alpha but now my computer doesn't work? I have a problem with my computer since I installed mega-zob-toolbar; please fix it. My kid gave me Adobe CS12 Mega Ultra Designer Pack-DOMINO-REPACK-XXXX to edit that PDF can I have admin right to install it? Hey, I've been trying to send that DVD by email for the last three days but it doesn't work and by the way the email server is very slow. Oh that? That's my home wifi router so I can work from the rec room. Really?? This Azureus software prevents other people from working? I can't see why. Hey IT guy why do you pretend it's my statistical report that i made myself in access that slows the database? I'm not even using the database; only access. Why won't you let us send .exe file by email!!!! THIS IS A BUSINESS REQUIREMENT!!!! You're working AGAINST the business!!!

Granted some admins go overboard. But users are a pain in the ass.

My car computer needs to be reset by an authorized dealer when I change the battery or if I need to jump start the car because i forgot my lights on. Otherwise it sucks twice as much gas as it should and some function such as anti sliding (whatever the name is) don't work. I'm pretty sure I can't switch to 4WD difflock either.

From what I saw wife is a mandatory upgrade for gf if you want to keep playing past a certain level. I've heard of account being canceled when some player tried to avoid it. The kid dlc is a sneak update, you can install it yourself on both gf or wife edition but if you don't it will be pushed to your account at some point anyway.
