Did you use a 10-year-old Ubuntu? Err, wait there was no Ubuntu yet.

Damn Microsoft for not supporting non-existent hardware with their installer! Windows XP RTM: August 24, 2001 SATA created: 2003 (Wikipedia).

Instances are limited to some dungeons, personal story, and overflow. "Overflow" means that when there are too many people in the area, instead of making everyone else that wants to go there on that server sit in a queue watching a timer, a new copy of the zone is spawned, they're put in the overflow, and can move to the "real" zone as space is available, or just stay in the overflow.

Except the current model linked has an AMD C60 and 2 GB of RAM. For $30 more you get 4 GB and a bigger hard drive. We have one here for a travel laptop. I would buy one to replace my older Aspire One if I weren't planning on a windows 8 convertible of some type.

Oh, genetic difference. Never mind.

About half an inch.

If I am recalling correctly, pre-Kunark and pre-research change, the two runes required to research Ice Comet dropped one from Lord Nagafen and one from Lady Vox. Later (Kunark era?) the Staff of the Wheel quest was added, which will give you one of each. Of course, you can bone the combine and have to do it all over again.

Any one you want to use, if you put it in a Zip-Lock bag.

If that's all you were using it for, then you should look at PDFCreator.

So has Windows, since 2000 and XP (actually earlier, but I'm only counting common user versions), but stupid developers persist in writing software that can't run without Administrator privileges.

"Mac vs PC" ads.

Apparently you've never seen any of Apple's "PC" ads.

And do the same thing if you're using a Windows machine with Vista or 7, and it works almost exactly the same way. There are still some ill-behaved programs that require administrator access though, even though Microsoft has been telling developers to stop putting stuff in the program directory for years.

Because "Showing the finger to Goldman Sachs" isn't something you can make money on, it's just dick-waving. A thousand zombies that collect credit card & bank account details, MMO account details, and which you can also sell time on for DDOS or spamming is actually profitable.

Run as a regular user, not a user in the Administrators group. Create a new user the Administrators group, then demote your account to standard user.

The fucking 8% (or whatever local sales tax is) that Amazon didn't pay is not why Borders went out of business, not when you can order the same books from Amazon and still pay less than the Borders price even before the sales tax.
