I think I found a link to it on WindowsXP.nu -> Bink.nu... Now how did I find WindowsXP.nu, That I don't remember.

I did the old posts search as the thread recommended, and take a look at this web browser shell I made in two thousand frikin four, that I had forgotten about:

I think I had the Vista team beat by like three years! I can't program like that anymore I think :-P

zomg, banzors! :p

It is said, that this magic number is still used. There seems to be a typo-version which is still valid. :whistle:

I was searching for a very flat xp theme, found out that M? bullies, found the patcher and looked around from time to time. I assume that i will also stay a one post wonder since i hate most people and try not to communicate. What led me to this post i do not know...

AHD.

I registered waaaay back in 2006. It was a sick day for me, I was sick of the incapabilities of the GMA900 to run Aero Glass. I registered on November 1, 2006 - the day my uncle sent me a copy of Vista RC2 Business (he is an IT guy), on that day I also opened up my TechRepublic account. My first posts were about Vista and the Intel GMA900, running one of the hottest topics on Neowin, right on my first day, with 30,000+ views! After that, I wasn't too active on Neowin. I would log on once every 2 weeks at most. In August 2007, I went on sort of a "posting rage" - I really wanted to get up to 250 posts. Then, I went back to being inactive. In December 2007, I came back to Neowin, and I went from ~350 posts to 1,100 posts from December 2, 2007 to January 10, 2008. Now, I am just making an average of 15 posts per day.

Spammer.

I honestly don't remember, but it was most likely from a Google search or a link from another news site.

Although I've only been a member since 2006, I've been reading the Neowin news and forums since 2001 or 2002. Come to think of it, Neowin and Slashdot are the only technology websites that I used to visit 7-6 years ago that I still visit to this day.

googling. oldest neowin bookmark i have oct 2004. i just now searched thru saved bookmarks for "neowin". noticeable portion are nlite, autopatcher, 98 patches, similar. however, i use none of those. :) Most of what i lookup I reject. of the remaining, I get round to trying very few.

I went to Las Vegas when I was 15. There were parts of town where these woman where handing out "Brochures" and I remember opening one up and in the back of it. It said neowin.net The rest was history :laugh:

    • If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.
    • Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"  
    • TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results
    • Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?
    • There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
