Perhaps I spoke too soon. With this being "cloudfront", I wonder if that increases the odds of this "propagating" the 'net the same way that "Googleisms" propagate the 'net? And with 3,954 of just the ONE CSS Level 4 :not with a selector list that I searched for, something tells me that a pollyfill would slow this page down quite a bit. I haven't experimented with "replacing" all of these via Proxomitron and seeing if the fix is "that easy".

Doesn't look like this one can be polyfilled. But nor would I call it a "mainstream" function. At least with it only being CSS, it doesn't really kill older web browsers, just makes the web sites that use this rarity look quite ugly.

lol The forum allows you to change your username. Some have done this "excessivley". So I bet the forum would allow you to change sex if you are so inclined.

Not really fair. How many teens of driving age live in my household? Are you also assuming me to not be married?

It's not always that cut-and-dried, in my opinion. My i7-4770 @ 3.4 GHz w/ 16 GB RAM is far from "new", but I HIGHLY prefer XP x64 over Win10 for this "fairly modern" computer. A full power cycle in XP (not talking hibernate or hybrid sleep), even with all my systray apps, takes only 20 seconds. A lite Win10 LTSB takes just over a full MINUTE and that's with every "performance boost" known to man. My two primary laptops are half as old as this i7-4770, but one is an i3 and the other is an i5 - they both boot from a fully power cycle in just over 40 seconds. More often than not, I'm coming out of hibernate versus full power cycle, but XP does that quite a bit faster also.

I've been running a seamless VirtualBox Win10 server "inside of" XP for several years (VB Win7 server "inside of" XP for roughly a decade). So technically "nothing new" here. I've not tried to regedit the shell from explorer.exe to cmd.exe. The seamless 10 takes up too many resources so 11 would seem to me to be a step in the wrong direction. Seamless 7 now shows its age with software developers dropping support for 7 much faster than XP was dropped (or so it seems). It is the Debian / RemoteApp that makes this all "new", not the seamless VM.

Is there a minimum version for VirtualBox? I prefer version 4.3.28 on my XP machines.

I don't vote in the EU. So no, I did not follow this "agenda" in the EU. It's an "agenda" I technically have no interest in. Until politicians and teachers started to "indoctrinate" my kids. If the EU already went through this, what was the outcome - can an 8yr old get a sex change, paid for by tax dollars, without parental consent? Can a 12yr old give "consent" to the 40yr old teacher?

That itself is a USA issue. We have politicians that think an 8yr old should be able to walk into a doctor's office and request a sex change operation without parental consent. Pertaining to this topic - Is the 8yr old that wants the sex change "mental"? Or is the 70yr old politician that wants the 8yr old to make that decision "mental"? These are the "debates" that go in in the USA. It's sad, in my opinion. Because we have TEACHERS in this country that then argue that if an 8yr old can make these decisions, then a 12yr old can consent to sexual acts with the teacher. You see why there is no "meat" to this thread and it's reduced to "rubbish"? It's because MSFN is not the place to be discussing circumcision and at what age, or "consent" and at what age. It's not like Mental Health is only OCD, ADHD, and Asperger's.

We all need a hobby.

As others have stated, it's the "Funny Farm". Not all forums have these sections. We could argue until we are blue in the face on whether these sections should even exist or not. I'm actually NOT a fan of their existence! But at least "this thread" unfolding the way it did is better than dozens (plural times ten) of "blog-like" copy-and-paste articles plastering the forum, as I'm sure you have witnessed here at MSFN.

It's different here in the USA. SOMETHING is different. I don't know what it is. Nor do you. I don't really even think that the "experts" really know. OUR news media (here in the US) always always always blames "violent video games" AND "mental health" - neither has "statistical backing", but both get "blamed" nonetheless. REALITY is that SOMETHING is different HERE IN THE USA. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/debunking-myths-the-gun-lobby-perpetuates-following-mass-shootings/ <excerpt> The United States has the highest level of gun violence across developed nations, with a gun homicide rate 26 times greater than that of peer nations. This number is even higher among young Americans, who experience a gun homicide rate 49 times greater than that of other developed nations. A 2015 research study examining 226 men who committed or attempted to commit a mass shooting found that only 22 percent could be categorized as mentally ill. In 2021, researchers found that only 8 percent of people who perpetrate mass shootings have a history of documented psychotic symptoms. <excerpt>

Westerns? That's the first time I've ever heard any correlation to Westerns! Maybe Terminator or Rambo or some "shoot 'em up" video game. But Westerns?

I guess I for one am fully "aware" of this topic regardless of which month the calendar has us in. Britney Spears Kirsten Dunst Jim Carrey Robin Williams Miley Cyrus If you watch the news throughout the year, not just in May, this topic comes up ALL THE TIME. Public school or movie theater or mall shooting - two topics will saturate the news outlets for weeks -- 1) gun control, and 2) mental health

I for one am not really sure of just "what" the topic was "expected" to unfold into - all MSFN members publicly declaring their "condition" and providing a full list of "meds" ???

As if it really matters? What's the point in ANYBODY "correcting" others on such TRIVIAL matters? To prove ones self as "always right, never wrong"? I say that to ALL who "correct" others here at MSFN because that is why so many feel that MSFN is a "toxic environment" - it only "matters" in a "I have to be always right" universe. My two cents, my OPINION. "Opinions are like butts. Everybody has one, doesn't mean everybody wants to hear them." As far as being on-topic, I have to ask if "always right, never wrong" is a mental disorder? waka waka waka

They're there. waka waka waka, that one fit right in! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peoples_Temple

Plus 8 months to the day. So I'm rounding up and calling it 10 years. Not that "this" post was of any more use than the "bump" post.

They ALWAYS do! Not sure what "forum rule" we are up to, but add one - NEVER announce your departure, JUST LEAVE, that way you're not a "liar" when or if you do return. We had somebody publicly announce his departure in the XP antivirus forum, three days later he was still here and still claiming to "leave". Not the first incident, there's been at least half a dozen of these in the last six months or so alone. Public cry for attention?

I haven't had a phone since 2001 !!! No land line !!! No mobile !!! I've been using Google Voice ever since, my "phone" needs are free (okay, I obviously have to have internet access). It's also why I cannot use anything but Chromium Forks. Google Voice used to work in BNav and Mypal - it hasn't for over two or three years and I don't see functionality EVER returning to BNav, Mypal, NM27, NM28, St52, or St55. EVER. Around here, you can't so much as get your hair cut without the salon asking for a phone number. I tell them that my phone number is "zero". They pause and wait for me to ramble off more numbers, I tell them "I don't own a phone, that makes my phone number ZERO." I've had auto parts stores claim they cannot sell me auto parts or accept used oil recycling without a phone number, I ask to speak with the manager to show me that policy IN WRITING. The manager some how miraculously finds a way to get the cash register system to "work" without entering a PHONE NUMBER. If you think telemetry in a web browser is something to be concerned about, just think of all the DATA linked to your PHONE NUMBER, which in turn is linked to YOU. Don't get me wrong, I don't NOT (double negative, lol) own a phone on account of "privacy rights" and that telemetry/data, I just have ZERO use for the d#mn thing to be "tied to my hip" all day. Mobile phones are an ADDICTION, plane and simple. Those of you ADDICTED to your phone, I bet you hear it ringing in your sleep, don't you, lol. Or can't so much as go 10 minutes without reaching for it. People often CONFUSE my reasons for NOT owning a phone. They ASSUME that I cannot afford one - I can. They make all sorts of ASSUMPTIONS - sure, I guess some are sort of correct. But the biggest reason I don't own a phone? Because I find them to be the RUDEST invention ever made! And I guarantee you that you just made an ASSUMPTION when reading that! Sure, mobile phone users standing in the checkout lane while talking on their phone is RUDE BEHAVIOR - but that is not what I am referring to. When people call you, if you don't answer within three rings, they accuse you of "screening your calls" - RUDE on the part of the caller making that ASSUMPTION, a real LIFE is not glued to a phone. If you don't respond to a text within "minutes", the ONE-SIDED conversation escalates into ASSUMING you are "mad at them and ignoring their texts" - RUDE on the part of the person sending the text for making that ASSUMPTION. When a phone rings, the caller expects the callee to drop EVERYTHING, that NOTHING the callee is doing is EVER more "important" than the MEANINGLESS conversation about to take place! I could go on. Phones are RUDE. And more often than not, it's the person doing the calling that is being RUDE, not the person LIVING A LIFE and delaying a response until a time that is CONVENIENT for them. I haven't had a phone since 2001 !!! It's the singlemost important decision I have ever made as far as IMPROVING the Quality of Life that I live.

Hmm. I cannot get Widevine to play any videos either. I've never actually tried until today so I may have to spend a few days researching.

Can you .zip these and PM me with the .zip file? My Widevine here at work is version 4.10.2652.0 and does not work in 360Chrome v13.5 (I can get test pages to indicate I have Widevine installed, but the demo page video will not play).
