Let's just hope you never find yourself needing to know anything about more than one octopus.

Fun fact of the Day: A group of octopus, or octopodes, is called a consortium.

So... Would a number of groups of octopi be a consortia?

The whole thing is silly, really, isn't it?
I mean, the singular of "us" is "i" not the other way around
|
|

Good point there.
But, is not always like that. For example, the word 'alumnus' is singular, and 'alumni' is its plural form.
I don't know if this one has a connection, but 'Us' and 'I' are pronoun.

Singular 'Virus' is enough to cause damage. It's like shooting twice with .45

Indeed. I watched the 60 minutes bill gates yesterday where he was showing off the fact he owns Leonardo DaVinci's private manuscripts all written in 'mirror' text (they think because he was left handed). Naturally, this intrigued my procrastonative mind so I googled it to find out that some people can do this naturally.
So I tried it, and lo and behold. I proudly proclaim to my wife 'Hey, guess what, I can write backwards' to which she responds "If you stopped doing all this stupid sh*t you might get some things done...."

I have uninstalled its entry from Programs and Features,
I have removed it from the add ons,
I have removed it from the list of search engines,
... and that was just on Firefox. I have performed similar activities for IE9 and Chrome, but still it persists.
I cant find any other advice on the web.
All help appreciated

Try ADWCleaner[^] works nice for mysearchdial...
Although I'd still love a tool that would prevent it being installed in the first place. I have to clean it off my mums computer every few weeks.
|
|
|
|
|
I use AutoRuns[^] from Microsoft SysInternals to get rid of stuff like that...just be careful what you delete.

Honestly, just reinstall Windows. You can never be 100% with things like this.

Hi,
For FireFox I found this tip:
Type about:config in the url field , you get a question if you know what you are doing, and then after clicking yes you get a list with preference names and values. Type in the searchbox above "conduit" and you get a list of values with "conduit" in it (if its in your firefox preferences.) Reset all values and it will be gone.
I mention above because I'm not sure you did this , anyhow it's a good way to check if its still in firefox
With friendly greetings,

You may want to check the shortcuts that you have for Firefox. I've encountered this case before with Conduit. it adds the URL onto the end of the shortcut string, automatically calling the Conduit page. Most conduits can be cleared with a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) remover like ADWCleaner, although I don't know exactly if ADWCleaner clears the URL ending on the shortcuts.
Best of luck.

OK, so since the AmishSteak didn't go down too well, despite steak with blue cheese sauce bei9ng a French classic, I have a new one I knocked up yesterday evening:
Steak au sauce vierge
SO that's a virgin olive oil sauce, and the interesting thing about them is they aren't cooked, but warmed through a bit.
So, good glug of olive oil, mashed up garlic clove, a load of sea salt (has to be sea salt), and a dose of dark balsamic vinegar and a touch of demi glace (thick stock reduction)
Just mash it all up and add in any meat juices from the pan.
Its delicious!
(You can vary the recipe, add a mashed up half anchovy, cherry tomatoes, lime juice, anything, and goes well with a lot of meats and fish. )
