You didn't do anything. We had a spammer who uses the same ISP as you.
Drop me a PM on here, and I'll talk it over with you.
You could also try getting firmware updates for your motherboard/USB card.
Before anyone gets upset, I've pruned a post or two from this thread.

Surely, if you only want to log in to your own account, she'll give it to you.

It wasn't just any survey. It was the Census. It records all of the people in the country, inclusing religion and various other information.

That's not proof. That's your not-very-well-thought out interpretation of it.
The year 2000 called.... they'd like their telnet back.

Not true.
BAck in the day, when Windows was merely a wee nipper, most viruses that circulated were made for Mac's.
Out of curiosity, what was the ad for? Was it for Mac?
And think of it like this.... why spend days or weeks creating a virus for Mac's, when you can spend hours doing the same for Windows machines, and maybe get better media coverage and kudos.
The other thing, of course, is that your statement is true to an extenet. There have been no virus warnings for OS X. That's because everyone's too busy writing the things for Windows.
Which is better?
Neither. Simple answer.
They eachhave their pro's and con's. Mac's work well becuase the hardware range for the software available is very limited.
Windows is rather spanking in that it will know about approx 85% of hardware you throw at it.
Imagine, if you will, being able to upgrade your Ford Escort to a Mustang GT500 for $600 and the engine being able to cope. That is Windows.
Also imagine being able to upgrade your Ford Escort, but only by replacing it with a whole new Mustang at $40,000. This is a Mac.
The difference being that everyone is putting nails in the road to puncture your tires but the whole new Mustang has puncture-proof tires, your upgraded Mustang will break down more, and the whole new Mustang is more appealing to women.
Pro's and con's, my friends. Not a clear-cut choice, is it?
I shan't even go into the Linux-and-others part of the same topic.

I don't believe a damned thing that the so-called newspaper prints.
Some people will buy it for spare parts or as a display model in a store.
They've not broken any rules, as they have stated a few times that it doesn't work.
If someone buys it and complains, it's their own fault.

Yes. And plenty do.
We don't worship her or her family. They are instituted as a remnant of history and tradition.
They are not who they are because we want them to be. They are there by circumstance and ancient laws that stop them from being removed from where they are.
Either way, I'm not fussed either way.. there, not there... care not I.

That's rather uncalled for.
It depends on the debit card. In the UK, almost all UK-based sites take debit cards.
Not sure about the US, though.

Apparently so. :\
DrLavaGoddess and I had our NG caps on in Washington Dulles International airport last year, and the guy who served us in TGI Friday's commented that he was a member on here and sort of knew of us.
And then, we went to a stationery shop here in the UK, and the guy in there said that he had an account on here, too.
It's amazing how many people know of NG. :)
If both laptops have wireless, get them both on the network, set up a shared drive on one, map to it on the other and SHAZAM! You can transfer.
Working computers.
I'm up to 9 so far. I'll have a party when I hit 10.
Tell you what..
Let's not, and say we did.
k?

And before anyone counters with "They're small, so they're very economical", the figures from Smart's own website, and my estimated values in my Diesel estate;
Fuel consumption in mpg
Urban cycle
46.3 - 47.1
Aprrox 45
Extra-urban cycle
68.9 - 70.6
Approx 57
Combined cycle
58.8 - 60.1
Approx 52
... and I can fit a week's groceries in there in one go. :)
Someone at work has one.. can't say I'm very impressed.
Disregarding the fact that it's about as practical as a Ferrari is, I found the build quality sub-standard (I've owned Vauxhalls [UK's GM wing]) and for the money, you could get a bigger, more comfortable and just as economical car.
Also consider the fact that they are more desirable for car thieves and are easier to steal (think of four-wheel-drive, 5 people and a trailer).
They are, in my opinion, the MAc of the car world... they sell on looks alone.
Oh, and a real man wouldn't be seen with one. :P
The last comment was a joke, and was not meant in any serious way
Damned fiminists, making me second-guess myself. :)
Just send them to the Paypal "Send money" page and give them your paypal ID

And I'd imagine that the last thing your teacher will be bothered about is being impressed by anything you do.
Please that you've learned something, maybe, but certainly not impressed.

Wrong also. That one was called the PSOne, was it not?
Nevermind you damn kids and your fake error messages...
This was a real one I got.
Over here in Blighty, it was called the MegaDrive...
Road Rash was by far the best game ever.
