  1. Why are people still using IE? Firebird rocks. by nmoog · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    I personally hated Netscape (5+) and equally disliked Mozilla. Mostly because they were ugly as hell, took up half the screen with huge buttons and ran like shit. I really truly prefered (and would still prefer IE)
    Then I installed Firebird. It is browser heaven! I cant believe self confessed nerds would even consider starting IE after they made, or even installed their first Firebird extention... "Click to view flash objects" plugin - fucking hell, my eyes have stopped hurting when I browse now...
    THe only reason 80%+ of slashdotters use IE is because they've never tried Firebird.
    Forget IE, Opera, Netscape, Mozilla. They aren't suited to your average joe, let alone us nerds. Get Firebird NOW!

    If it requires a slightly bigger heat sink, whats the problem as long as its a desktop PC. As long as you cool it properly an AMD can take the heat. Either proccessor will not last an OS boot up running without cooling at room temperature. I just walked into my companies data center of about 30 racks worth of equpitment, mostly Intel DELL stuff and the the A/C says its 63 degrees in the data center and is currently cooling. I believe it turns of at 60 degrees. Did I mention that its 2 degrees outside? All temperatures are given in Farenheit cause I'm an insensitive clod.

    But if the chip is producing more heat than another processor and performing the same as a cooler chip, I would say that the AMD chip is not as efficient. The heat is wasted energy.

    Loony time:
    Maybe AMD could make their chips run hotter and convert some of the heat back into electricity with little steam turbines...

    So does my AMD CPU(s) - but if you rip the fan off (which i think is what a majore years-old hubbub was about) the processors do die...

    Slam me if you wish for being superficial

    Done.

    If Mozilla turns into a Hello Kitty interface where all the buttons look like frickin' candies, I'm going to hold you personally responsible.

    Example:

    Macs are fine, reliable machines, but OS X drives me up the wall. It's a computer; not play-skool. Does Mac think I'm a 3-year old? That's certainly what their programming mandate appears to be. OS X seems designed for imbeciles who need soothing, glittering toy-objects to stay interested. I'm an adult for crying out loud. Treat me like one.

    Of course, if Mozilla went that way, then you could count on it being an option, re, Firebird and its many different available themes. Now THAT is a cool way to run a browser!
