    For something as obvious as for gaming (where in the video other games have people running around while these guys are hovering around a static environment), I expect something tha…

    I try to make my websites work in ie6 but with minimal work, I'll let IE6 users use it but it will be a degraded experience and most of my website for normal people actually haven'…

    Maybe give a bit more of a description because I remember something similar but can't quite put it together with your description.

    To be honest I expect a chromebook to be priced similar or at the very least $200 for me to be competitive with a more powerful/portable netbook. His expectations aren't off, the m…

    Is this[1] the "manifesto"? If not can someone post it so I don't have to get around the block. [1]: http://cdmirror.textfiles.com/JSTOR_01_PhilTrans/1st_READ.tx...

    To be honest the emails he got could have easily annoyed him and seem to have come from someone who believes he is not interrupting into someones time (especially after the first r…

    This isn't really anything to do with seo but make your front page static and move the rest (all the wedding pictures) to another page with a limit (maybe 5 or 10 a page). I though…

    That is my problem right now, I won't buy an android until cyanogen runs on it and it is easily rooted, so when my droid first gen finally broke I actually ended up buying an iphon…

    Because incoming still takes up bandwidth so it makes sense to count it is such. I however do remember it being free at some point in time.

    Are you using linux, linux seems like a secondhand citizen with regards to firefox and that is where I see all my problems. I don't know if crashing is the right word but it does b…

    I try every new firefox release for at least a week, and to be honest I haven't seen an advantage of using it since chrome came out. It is just way too slow[1], it may have better …

    I've activated without installing anything with every broadband provider I have had as well and most of the time it is quite easy. Cable seems to be activated just by using their m…

    I haven't had any trouble with AUR any time I've used it, most of the time a simple makepkg -s does the trick, but maybe it is just similar enough to slackbuilds for me not to mind…

    You can't really pirate cs anymore than you can pirate tf2, css also runs on the same engine as tf2 so any of the kids that can get their hands on source can get their hands on tf2…

    It depends on the game, play competitive counterstrike and everyone is a dick (source or 1.6)
