    I don't like it being sorted. For example, instead of a pop up window in chrome coming up next to the 1st instance of chrome, I'd like it to be the last item. Say, I open Chrome, iTunes, PuTTY. Now I click a link on Chrome and a pop up comes up. I don't want it to be Chrome, Chrome, iTunes...

    Would a Police Crown Vic be a good temp car?

    Just a thought

    It seems that the poor get poorer and the middle class is dead. Corporations are laying off and out sourcing and still profiting. When there are more people that can't find a job, there will be chaos. I think the rich will live in fear or have to higher protection companies for day to day...

    I want to start a small webdesign/webhosting service. What's the best VBS? I'd actually like to maintain my own server. I would also like to start small. PHP, MySQL, and basic HTML is all I need unless there's a decent Microsoft host but I don't think they offer VBS. Thanks
