Let's hope you get busted for missing the whole point of facebook and are quickly removed.

Honestly, how gutless can you be? Quite the charades you got going there, congrats! If that's what interests you...


missing the whole point of facebook

That depends on if you consider the point of facebook to give detailed, accurate biographical data about yourself away to a company with which you have no monetary relationship, so that this company can then sell it, or not.


correct, I believe that was the obvious point he was trying to make.

The political correctness that is a problem is that you can't say 'white/boring' without offending someone like the person you responded to.


Right on. When I got those results it just confirmed, "hmm, looks like my 5th grade genealogy project was right. I am from Germany and England afterall!"

It isn't to say that us white people are boring, but just that there was nothing novel in that part of the results. It was about as exciting as the genetic test in there that confirmed I have brown eyes. If it said I had blue eyes, it would have been interesting news to me.


Upgrades continue to this day! As an example, I updated my last household PC to Windows 7 Ultimate (up from Windows MCE 2004 from HP: a frankenstein OS).

It runs better than ever (2.4Ghz, 2GB memory). Media Center works great (looks like MCE 2005). For a 7 year old PC with AGP graphics (7600 GT) it's surprising how well Windows 7 performs. Assuming nothing breaks, it's still a good 'dev test server' for .NET and LAMP work.


How are you going to test LAMP on Windows 7? L stands for Linux.


Those are just examples of course, but 2 methods come to mind: WAMP install works good, or "andLinux" or something to virtualize Linux.
