my first thought: they'll collect money from sites to disable adblockers and other ext. I gave up on Mozilla 5 or so years ago because they ARE sneaky about being corporate sellouts and anti privacy. At least the browsers i use now do

Until we can say we understand the body completely, we're certainly can't be dismissive of ALL pain. As a chronic pain sufferer and a spouse of a medical professional, we both have observed that hubris in doctors is still a seriou

I paid one $US dollar for a book at a yard sale and later found a 20 euro note inside. I'll never spend it ( not in EU ) but it was a nice surprise since I'd never seen one.

Always wanted to do this on my wife's Kia. But the head unit is so slow and the touchscreens die after only a few years so I've got a box of 3 of these bad oems and finally installed an after market unit.

The bottleneck on most home labs is the lan. A new spindled hard drive running ext3/4 or ntfs can easily saturate a 1 gig nic. That makes the complications of running an NAS on raid or zfs not worth the time and effort-- unless you lik
