I finally found one that closely mirrors Opera's Sessions enough to be useful. So, that leaves only one major annoyance to get rid of for me to replace Opera with Firefox completely.

Remote disabling of the hardware will never happen. In the US, some crazy guy in the House or Senate, and they're mostly crazy so I realize that doesn't narrow it down tried to introduce legislation to force PC manufacturers to include a hardware and software scheme to allow remote destruction of a PC should it be detected to contain pirated materials of all kinds. Yeah, all it takes is some clever virus to access this and REALLY cause hardware damage across the board, a first for a virus. Thankfully, it was rightfully shot down.

Gives new meaning to the term animal husbandry! :&

Gets worse. Attempts to edit the double post never finish posting. Screw it.

Crap... Firefox posted it twice. First time, it just kept sitting there forever, so, I pressed Add Reply again.

Yes, times have certainly changed. Just 40 years ago, Triffids couldn't be seen on screen without their clothes on.

Well, beats pressing TWO for English. Pressing 1 for English was bad enough, BUT, to have English FOLLOW the Spanish, as it briefly did around here was just annoying!

That sounds more like Dalek doings than Triffids. Daleks have been known to abduct people... but, only for a little while, until the lawyers caught up with them.

I am curious to know if it was the case. Fiend Without A Face sounded right at first, but, the new information does say it is The Day Of The Triffids, instead. I can't REST until I know!

Hey... did we ever figure out WHAT the Hell the film in question at the start of this post was?

Well, after having seen it, I can confirm two Peter Cushing movie style Daleks do appear in Looney Tunes: Back In Action. All of their dialogue is stock sound from Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150 A.D., though. Robby The Robot, a Triffid, Ro-Man from Robot Monster, the Metaluna Mutant (This Island Earth) and the man from Planet X also show up. Plus, even... one of the fiends without a face!

Oh, you already know the drill from me and what I'd copy and paste.

Well, you could knocked me over with a turd... :& Symantec's antivirus application may have a major security flaw in it? Not if Symantec can find it and cover it up, eh? http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/ANT...EMPLATE=DEFAULT http://www.eeye.com/html/research/upcoming/20060524.html

Here's one of two links (Lost the other.) I've found on the story. http://www.courttv.com/news/2006/0524/lewis_ap.html

Who says you'll never use it? Whip it out on dates and scare the life of people! "And, the Chosen One shall have the Chosen Third Nut." Proficey (sic) from the Book Of Testiclese.

Surely, if the ISO is already assigned to be burned by ImgBurn, wouldn't clicking on the ISO in the RAR simply extract the ISO to the TEMPDIR and pass it to ImgBurn for burning?

You obviously didn't see the story about the cat being put on trial? I thought it was for murder but turned out it was just the cat's owner going to trial instead of euthanizing the cat outright. In essence, the cat is going on trial for attacking the neighbors.

I wouldn't call it animus. After all, I wouldn't, say, call for the man's execution, or anything like that. My "problem" with him would be, I suppose, similar to my problem with many in his position: not the man, per se, but those who adulate him and put him up on a pedestal that is far, far too high. Thus, unnecessary. For instance, is it too much to ask for people to not be stupid enough to require a ball player to pop up on the screen and try to instill order amongst the populace? Again, the idea that it seems necessary to almost deify people in order to get others to just behave.

My avatar has a thing or two for skulls. Ever since Mega Man 2, he's incorporated them into his logo, his creations, and even his headquarters, the Skull Castle. Also his transporation, the Skullker, and even his belt buckle.

Peggy Mitchell was the host of local puppet show here. I infer this is the Eastenders character?

Must have been a case where the drive refused to be given up until the application exited.

LUK, what happens, and in what order, when a Refresh (F5) is done? I ask because I came across this situation. I had a case where I needed to create an MDS linking to multiple image parts contained across two discs, each inserted into a different drive. ImgBurn was open at the time I inserted a disc into a drive it had been using, so, I knew I'd need to Refresh to get access to the drive, or close ImgBurn and reopen. When I pressed Refresh, ImgBurn returned a dialog because the last file it had used to burn was no longer there. I had deleted it, so, that's not the problem. But, the dialog only has Retry and Cancel on it. So, it seems that this refresh for the loaded file name occurs before whatever happens that "frees" the drive because after Cancel, the only option I could use, the drive was still inaccessible. (I even tried switching to a different mode so the file field would be blank and Refreshing, but, the drive still wasn't accessible.) So, I closed and reopened ImgBurn, but, it made me wonder. I am guessing that the drive refreshes are done then after the refresh for the file field. And, if so can they/should they/shouldn't they be moved in order of operation to occur before a file existence check?

Oh, yeah, like anyone could resist making a comment about where I'm stuck living in after THAT reply!

"The Doctor Dances" You know? For a dumb title, it's a pretty good story! I was afraid it would be just a gimmick, focusing on a "What if" idea: let's a story where the Doctor dances! Really dumb. Thankfully, though, it's just a small side part. So, the title is all that's wrong with it. Because the whole explanation of the gas masks and the nanites works well. But, my favorite part is how jubilant the Doctor is when he realizes: "EVERYBODY LIVES! Just this once, Rose! Everyone lives!" Which is a Doctor Who rarity! In fact, the only time I can think of where no one died (Enemies included.) was WAY back in Season 1 with The Edge Of Destruction. Because death always surrounds the Doctor. Everywhere he's gone, people died. Not that it was his fault, but, it seemed like he walked hand in glove with the Angel Of Death. Especially given the Time War and what the Doctor has had to do in it. What little we know, anyway. "Boom Town" Loved the play on words! I think it is a better use of Slitheen this time around. Much like Father's Day, this works best in the simple character interaction moments. Rose and Mickey, the Doctor and the Slitheen at dinner. Set pieces that sound silly when taken separately, but work well as character analysis. For instance, the Slitheen taunting everyone into seeing who could simply look at it, knowing they were condemning it to death. Sci-Fi Channel even had a DVD extra from the first series boxed set, an interview with the actor playing Captain Jack. Aired during the last commercial break. Plus, an ad during the closing credits for the latest series of mini-hardback novels, like I Am Dalek. No Who next week because of a weekend long holiday movie marathon for Memorial Day. After that, we approach the end with Bad Wolf and The Parting Of The Ways.
