perhaps when you become financially independent you can pay for all the copyrighted materials you wish to download... and/or buy a shiny new secure wifi access point so that your new neighbours can't leech themselves silly on your connection and blame you.

or, just move here and take two strikes... then move somewhere else :)

...I was exFAT.

vanilla Thunderbird 2 on win xp never caused me any trouble - I've got a handful of pop and gmail imap accounts, and everything's been fine... maybe my epic data loss is waiting to strike at upgrade time :)

Nope... he would've had waaay more buckets in the alien lottery, though :)

No, it was rejected for using the private InsensitiveClod.framework

heh, to be honest, a lot of those years were spent waiting for tapes to hurry up and load something...

and it was a luxury to have 8 colours (or by some occassional magic, 15 or 16 - I forget). I happily remember the first time I heard near-speech come out the little speaker - "Ghostbusters!" in a 4 bit crackle. "Intro's" were limited to a text message on the initial loading buzz that just mentioned the version of the interface used to make the ram dump. To save loading time, the title image that most games painfully loaded was removed, although I guess (now) that it wasn't in memory when the interface dumped the ram.

C64's and Amiga's were where the real fun started :)

Actually, I'm imagining a world that can do away with buggy, hard to configure inline Flash replacements for realtime custom font display. It's a good world :)

Sure do. Multiface backups on the Spectrum, anyone? :)

argh, forgot the cluster! Also, I never mentioned if linux would boot on it or not.

bonus marks for working in some flaming of slashdot 2.0 javascript, anything about the death of Flash, and any further comments about how things used to be when someone with a low userid was telling someone else with a low userid about telling some n00b to get off their lawn.

I think that about covers it.

...followed by something about clods without feelings, you for one welcoming the AutoTune overlords, complaints that the article is merely advertising in disguise, and the obligatory assumption that no-one actually read the fk'in article.

Oh, and you are not a lawyer.

Oh, comon, there's not even a comment list with Profit! at the end yet...

only if you haven't loaded your mouse driver and slashdot.com into himem...

the extended edition, I trust... :)
