What, were they supposed to check with you before they wrote this up? Get your approval? Jeez.

I had the same problem. Solved it by going to about:flags and enabling "Click to Play" then go into Options>Under the Hood>Content Settings>Plug Ins>Click to Play Has the added benefit of blocking a lot of ads.

Works with "about:flags", too

You know, there is another impediment that I left out of my original post and that is the certainty that you will be slowed by another car up ahead.

Risk vs reward, my friend, risk vs reward. Is it worth a few minutes to drive into the oncoming lane, accelerate past the speed limit and then jump back in. In my experience, in order for that to pay off, you have to be willing to a) drive much faster than the speed limit and b) still be lucky in catching the light.…

D'oh!

UEFI and SSDs will soon make this question irrelevant.

Ok, I drive about 80 miles every day on two lane roads. Here is my best advice for passing on a two lane road: Don't bother. Unless the slowpoke is a slow-moving tractor or something like that, just don't bother. Two lanes have plenty of stop signs and cross roads and traffic lights and more often than not, the…

I volunteer each week at a senior center, teaching the blue hairs how to use the computers their kids talked them into getting without thinking about how hard it is for them to use. They just cannot grok Windows or even Mac. They lose stuff, they don't know how to save something into My Documents or whatever. I…

Been following James Altucher for a while now. Always a great read. James cultivates an unusually intimate rapport with his readers. He often bleeds in his opening paragraph and just sucks you in.

It's political because the banks made this change in response to a law that Congress passed (last years financial reform act, a Democrat Party baby), not in response to a change in the market. In other words, the politicians thought they were protecting us and in the process they are going to harm us. You apparently…

Uh, no. They were subject to the same oversight and regulation that any other public company is subject to. Didn't work then, either.

Libya produces about 2% of worldwide oil. Hardly major. Had you done your research you would have read that immediately upon hostilities breaking out, Saudi Arabia bumped their own production to cover the potential shortfall. In other words, there is no oil shortage or drop in supply from the Middle East.

Who do you think puts those loopholes in there in the first place? There is NOTHING wrong with a company making a profit. I'm all for it, in fact. Profit is necessary. Without it, nothing happens. The government should act as an umpire in every market, not as a player. It should enforce full and understandable…

Maybe you didn't notice, but with the government we have, they screwed us.

Housing: Fannie Mae, run by Franklin Raines, Democrat. Congressional oversight courtesy of Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, Christopher Dodds—all Democrats. Those three, Waters in particular, ran interference for Raines while he ruined Fannie.

Did you miss that whole health care debate from last year? You know, the one that eventually gave the Secretary of Health and Human Services an uncountable (and unaccountable) number of options to exercise her discretion? Not Congress, not your doctor, not you or whomever you may have chosen to provide your…

Good job, Congress! Specifically, Democrats! Prime example of the Law of Unintended Consequences kicking in. Always happens when a bunch of dumbass politicians fiddle around with something they really don't understand.
