Another Windows 7 BSOD

Not quite 6 weeks since last time. Not doing anything except browsing the web.

I'm mostly okay with Windows 7, but I sure wish it felt more stable than the old Windows 95/98 days.

Update: on further review, this is a hardware problem, no reason to blame Windows 7 (well, at least for my crashes).

Just a couple notes for web admins

I already have an app for your website, it's called Firefox. Also, if you can't be bothered to make your website work in a mobile browser, what is there to make me think it will be better in your app?

If I can't use your website with my ad blocker, I won't use your website. The reality is, there are very few websites in my world that I can't live without. Bank, work, library, that's pretty much it. If your site puts up one of those "please turn off your ad blocker to proceed" blocks, I'm just leaving and not coming back. I get that you guys need to make money, but the Internet is a hideous place without ad blocker, and I'm not giving it up.
