2013/3/21-5/18 [Computer/SW/Apps/Media, Computer/SW/WWW/Browsers] UID:54632 Activity:nil | 3/21 Browser Plug-In you must get: Ghostery. It gets rid of a bunch of
ad trackers on a web site, resulting in really fast load times.
For example, a typical media site will require 10-15 trackers
(you know, those URLs that track your activities so they can
target you better). Ghostery kills them.
\_ This has been working well for me, and breaks fewer things

old? I am investigating making a big SSD order. -ausman

your new SSD yields 160 MB/sec read, and that your application
is mostly streaming media (so the platter is continuous read,

My question is how do stories like this find its way to news media? Do
people just go "hey something very interesting happens in our lives.
Let's call up a news agency or two to tell the world about it."?

2009/9/14-21 [Politics/Domestic/Immigration, Politics/Domestic/SocialSecurity] UID:53361 Activity:nil | 9/14 Does anyone have the controversial book Bell Curve? I know
it has the political incorrect [and perhaps flawed] data that
shows certain race have higher IQ than other race and I'm
wondering how smart Russians are relative to white Americans
and East Orientals. I can't seem to Google for this information.
The only thing I got is the following:

European appliance into my dryer's power outlet, but I'm not really
sure why. Is it just the 50hz vs 60hz problem?

\_ most dryer sold in USA only takes 110V, and 220 outlet will

Disneyworld. This is for mid-March. Any advice? I'd like to make
it as simple as possible... the less work, the better.
\_ Isn't Disneyworld for children?
