Seconded! There's no way in hell NIS performed at this level on a legitimate test. It's shit and that's putting it nicely.

Here's what I did in Ubuntu 12.04 to watch them:

1. Use Firefox.
2. Make sure Firefox is closed.
3. Run: sudo apt-get install libhal1 hal
4. Run: rm -rf ~/.adobe/Flash_Player/NativeCache ~/.adobe/Flash_Player/AssetCache ~/.adobe/Flash_Player/APSPrivateData2
5. Launch Firefox and enjoy.

After I did this in Firefox, I was able to watch them in Chromium too but ran into problems trying to get it working in the first place in Chromium. I've read that Google Chrome simply won't play them on Linux because of some recent changes Google made. So, yea... not as easy as it should be but it should be watchable unless I've missed a different reason why they're not watchable for so many users.

They're small and actually look like a router.

I don't know if it's just me but my computers pretty much never die. I've been building them myself since the mid 90's. I stopped upgrading when Core 2 Duo came out because the PC I built still runs everything great today. I wouldn't use the Athlon XP 2000+ system I have that still runs because it doesn't run everything great but it does still work. I really don't see it being a problem with computers lasting so much longer but I could be an odd case since I don't buy stuff from Dell, HP, etc.

"Nobody can say if GNOME 3 is better or worse than GNOME 2."

GNOME 3 is *worse* than GNOME 2. By far. Plus more.

I was reading it and suddenly can't, it's not responding anymore. I guess it is!

Awesome router, I just installed Lighttpd/PHP/mySQL on one too.

Well, then to you the theory makes complete sense and that's great. I refuse to believe that we're all a bunch of randomly evolved creatures at this point from way back in the day when we were tadpoles in the water. It's simply retarded to me and the day I'll believe it is the day we get it on record.

GL to you Norm, this is my last post. Although I completely disagree with you, I have to respect you for at least not being an idiot.

It'd be even more realistic if those agents were morbidly obese, unshaven, and unshowered...
