There is no way IN HELL I'm ever trusting my data to some retarded cloud service. I have my own freaking server for that. I have USB sticks I use to boot computers and transfer files. Why the hell would I want to re-download the same file every time I want to use it? I might as well just go to the original site, like…

@SeraphX2: Right, but I shouldn't be reading about one solution a "week", especially when solutions seem to be involving basically off-the-shelf things like using a robot to cut the pipe, or pumping in mud. These things should be considered and planned in zippy speed, especially with all the realtime electronic…

@P3t3: I don't blame 'em, actually. Oil isn't a renewable resource... IDK if you figured that out or not. So to lazily completely destroy a resource instead of finding a way to preserve it is a pretty dick move anyway.

I'm'a go with Hiren's since that's the basis of a big part of my own BootCD, but I'm quite disappointed nobody even bothered checking it out when I mentioned it last time. *sigh* Seriously guys, check it out. FalconFour's Ultimate BootCD 2.0, or Micro BootCD 2.5. Bah. I feel like I'm preaching to a deaf kid.

@FalconFour: p.s.: Part of it is based on Hiren's (like MiniXP), and includes all the tools HBCD has on it, but with several patches and improvements - as well as having Hiren's only being a part of the overall disc. Seriously. If any of you think Hiren's is good, check out F4UBCD. I'm desperately trying to avoid…

@rebeldevil: The whole point of having an opener is so you don't have to waste gas, time, and effort - not to mention your safety - to open the damn door. And if you can get out of the car, open the door, and get back in the car in your "five extra freaking seconds", I swear to god someone has a million dollars…

VOTE: FalconFour's Ultimate Boot CD

Holy S**. uTorrent named something after me! Ahh, I knew my time would come. I don't care what it is! *downloads*

I'd really, really love a program like this that can be stripped down to just "Strip formatting". Can't count how many times I want to paste text into a rich-text program like Thunderbird, but don't want the pre-existing formatting to screw up my mail. I know there's right-click - "paste without formatting", but not…

*sniff* *sniff* Anyone else smell that? Mmm, kinda smells like spam :D We'd have at least one celebration a day if we noted every time every part of a computer had a "birthday"... of course, call me next year for RAM's 60th. That's a nice round number.

Oh, it's so nice to only use my real name in the real world. And to have an almost comically common first and last name. Not only is my real name totally un-googleable, but my jolly internet rampages only show up with a different name. Yay!

@sahilm: Except that, for at least 1 in 4 error messages I find the need to look up, I get precisely zero useful information. Which, I'm pretty sure, this little utility will also provide me with on occasion, but at least I don't have to search and sift through clueless morons going "err i was reformatting mah hard…

@iHack: Firefox has support?! Jeez, I wish I knew that while I was trying to hack together a replacement for —install-global-extension in FF 3.6. Oh, by the way, that was possibly the most boneheaded "fix" in Firefox history, BTW, taking out that switch. But that sentiment is directed to whomever actually implemented…

@avogadro23: As benjgvps said, and just to add another vote of "rtfm"... hibernate is exactly the same as shutting down, just with the added delay of writing the RAM to HDD during shutdown, and reading it back on startup. No difference between that and fully shutting down, other than the fact that it comes/goes…

Wow. Am I the only person that always wants a new tab to open on TOP of the current window, not under? When I open a new tab, it's to branch off my browsing and keep my place on the original site, not to stay on the current page and "come back to it later". It would certainly be nice to be able to "unload" a tab…

@eclair: It just creeps me out a little that web browsers, which have nothing at all to do with physical location, suddenly have an API that allows websites to know exactly where you are. It freakishly bridges that gap between the physical world and the online one. And it's more than a little creepy.

@kschang: Is it bad that my wipers have lasted almost 4 years? 4 rainy winter seasons (it never snows here), and 4 110+-degree summers? I just take good care of mine by wiping them when I go through the rinse in the car wash in the summer (to avoid drying/cracking), and they seem to keep going and going. When it rains…

@svetzy: Agree there too. I really don't get what the "in-joke" is about the overuse of Comic Sans. If anything is painfully, stupidly overused, it's Times New Roman, a font that's so overused that MS decided to change the default font with Office 2007 to a more Arial-like font (Calibri). I never did understand why…

As a general rule, I never skip updates when I know they exist. I REALLY like staying on top of the latest version. I do, however, postpone automatic updates when they get intrusive. For example, the latest Java-Firefox debacle, where Firefox popped up a nasty box saying it's going to axe an add-on, offering only two…

@Talthybius: Someone had to say it. Zing.
