My gf got this. It does a neat job of blocking sites which have removal info. What's also awesome is that most of the purchased ads around malware bytes and spybot attempt to direct you to different malware sites. She won't buy a Mac. wtf.

Memo to the nerds: wash your hands, early and often. Easiest way to prevent spreading disease.

I for one welcome our... Anyway, that AI is going to have to do a lot of work in Robotics if it wants to keep me from kicking the plug out of the wall.

Formal English lacks a distinct second person plural but it isn't just youse hicks in the South who try and put one back in. The Northeast version even has formal (youse) and informal (yis) forms, like French.

Early PC software pioneers might have maxxed out their credit cards to BUY an Apple II. I wasn't suggesting Woz or Jobs did so to BUILD the Apple II. And they sold blue boxes -- the means to steal from the phone company -- not actual time.

Just to add to the horse-shit, there was a key difference between the early computer industry and the nascent private space industry. Two guys in a garage could start a small hardware or software company and have a shot of success. Getting a rocket to orbit or manned flight takes a few more resources than maxxing out your credit card to buy an Altair or even an Apple II.

I refuse to buy a device with a screen unless I know the resolution. 5", 6" -- who gives a fuck. How many pixels does it have? (I know, I know, I can research this, but I RTFA and it didn't say, so I'm irritated.)

I think you've got the analogy backwards. It actually shows how powerful and capable those early micros were. Kind of embarassing when your multi-gigahertz PC can barely run a word processor, or stalls when trying to display a photo, huh?

Iran uses it military to attack US forces in Iraq via its bomb supplying proxies. It uses it proxies in Lebanon to attack Israel civilians with missiles. It uses its proxies in Afghanistan to attack US and government forces. In most cases, the proxies are aided directly by members of its elite Revolutionary Guards. When its people protest a statistically false election, they are beaten and shot in the street, while the propaganda machine tries to lame the West for "inciting" the protests. And some total dumb fucks, like you, seem to believe them.

Additionally, Iran has illegally mined international waters and killed US sailors with mines. (Google Operation Praying Mantis). Iran's president was likely personally involved in the illegal hostage taking of US diplomatic personel in the 1970s.

Eve is by far both my favorite MMO and my favorite game I don't play. Anytime the world is getting boring, you can count on some major scandal or event in Eve to pep things up.

Read the sentence again, please. They could have been written by *anyone* in his living room, not just him!

My issue with the DX is that you can download newspapers, but not as an image of the front page -- just as a list of files. If I wanted to do that, I'd use a web browser. When I can d/l a paper and read it like a paper -- lots of stories per page, ability to scan quickly over it all -- I'll buy one in a heartbeat. I woudl guess that's a few years away though.

Absolutely. States should issue civil licenses only. Marriage is for churches. This is why I am against "gay marriage" -- I'm against "straight marriage" too. I have a co-owned house, two co-owned cars, a co-owned kid, and a girlfriend. I don't need a piece of paper from the government to remind me who she is.
