I wasn't trashing ActiveX per se; but rather the idea the label represents, binary embedding in (an expected) document; or binary embedding period. I hope most people read that I dislike the idea, not the brand name.

Or OCX (OLE, etc) lets another wolf into the flock. Embed by default is broken, and well terrifying.

You've never know a (clinical) sociopath; they're quite good at faking anything that furthers their wants.

My jumpdrive happily fits into that internet hole on the HP swatch thing... never could get it to read though.
(No... I really don't miss late 90's tech support)

At the risk of sounding like I've come from /b/, perhaps it won't break 4k because you're driving a Neon and a Scion. My RX-8 will break 9k RPM in park/neutral.

I use a similar system for personal use but I do not have it wipe all the data on each restart, instead I just wait for the system to start getting a bit sluggish or I am ready for a clean start and restore the original virtual machine. Still kind of a pain but so much better then restoring your whole system. I have been using this setup for a couple years and I have not had to reformat my main system.

Just to clarify, I was in a small town (Atwater). It's the kind of place where everyone knows your name (and in a biblical sense, probably your cousin). Elsewhere YMMV.

Last time I beat a speeding ticket in that state... I paid for it dearly. Six tickets for less than 3 mph over the limit in a month. I find, although morally repugnant, it's much cheaper to pay up now and complain later; rather than to invert the order.

Parece que he perdido mi copia de la guía, pero como yo soy un príncipe de Nigeria, con mucho gusto a comprar uno por $ 10 millones de dólares EE.UU., si usted me ayudará a transferir fondos de mi hermano, que ha robado mi difunto padre trono.
