Well I found it through Google :( But it was worth it :-D I am also not a fan of Google's new less privacy policy or anything Google for that matter as I can no longer trust them.

:laugh: I had to sign in just to give you a 5.

LOOOL!! :)

Oh OK I was not sure. :laugh: I just like startpage very much because it give me Google search without the Google ( well at least without there prying eyes ). :-D

Same people!!! This is also there search engine. Just a version that uses Google. From there about page: On Startpage the privacy of Ixquick is combined with the Web search results from Google. The combination of these two features is what makes Startpage so special. You can continue using the Web results from the world's most popular search engine but now under the privacy protection of Ixquick, the world's most private search engine.

Congratulations! No bugs is good news but I am sure she has a few leaks. :laugh: Have your run a performance and memory profiler on her yet?

Thanks! :-D

If you cannot do as ahmed zahmed said and boot Linux from a USB here are a couple more options. 1) Rather that booting from the USB use it to copy the file onto ( could also use a USB HDD, etc. ) . 2) Using a live Linux that offers the options to load it into memory ( try Slax ) that will free up your DVD drive to use for burning. 3) Temporarily install a second drive for burning.

Tried that too, but somehow I find code better to understand

I agree. I also couldn't stand all that talking while I was trying to write code. :-D Oh and congratulations!! :thumbsup:

Cruel but funny. :laugh:

I will have to check MSE out then as I may just change my recommendation. I have not personally used AVG for sometime now but I used it on another persons laptop a couple or so years ago. I was impressed with it for removing viruses that other AV apps would not remove and since then I have recommended it. Thank you for the info. I will definitely have to give MSE a look now.

Dirty B*tards!

+5 Yes Sir! :-D

Ha! Stupid Windows. Windows is the Peter Griffin of the operating system world.

A very nice feature indeed!

Thank you. I agree that AVG may not be the best antivirus software out there but it is free and does its job. I haven't personally used any antivirus software in years! I work mostly on *nix systems and am very careful about my activities. I have been virus free for ~9 years and counting (even on windows systems)!! So my best recommendation for antivirus would be a combo of linux and paranoia. ;) Thank you for the counter vote.

LOL! :laugh:
