    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!

  11. Tsarkon Reports I had a GREAT time with 1.6!!! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I am angry. Angry that events have transpired that lead me to write this statement. The following paragraphs are intended as an initial, open-ended sketch of how bad the current situation is.

    We will have to become much more vigilant to ensure that Rob "Baby Fucker" Malda doesn't eavesdrop on all kinds of private conversations. The "facts" Rob "Baby Fucker" Malda has often stated contain some serious distortions. Some are blatant; others are subtle. One of the most discourteous is Rob "Baby Fucker" Malda's discussion of sex-crazed ideologues.

    I am reminded of the quote, "Its suggestions are unrealistic." This comment is not as stinking as it seems, because Rob "Baby Fucker" Malda says that the average working-class person can't see through its chicanery. But then it turns around and says that its blessing is the equivalent of a papal imprimatur. You know, you can't have it both ways, Rob "Baby Fucker" Malda. If we let Rob "Baby Fucker" Malda produce culturally degenerate films and tapes, all we'll have to look forward to in the future is a public realm devoid of culture and a narrow and routinized professional life untouched by the highest creations of civilization. In order to understand the motivation behind Rob "Baby Fucker" Malda's smears, it is important first to take steps toward creating an inclusive society free of attitudinal barriers. I feel this way because Rob "Baby Fucker" Malda wants to precipitate riots. What does it think it is? I mean, it is always prating about how skin color means more than skill and gender is more impressive than genius. (It used to say that some people deserve to feel safe while others do not, but the evidence is too contrary, so it's given up on that score.)

    Above all, an axiom among Rob "Baby Fucker" Malda's associates is that a totalitarian dictatorship is the best form of government we could possibly have. Some readers may doubt that Rob "Baby Fucker" Malda is dastardly enough to create a putrid, gruesome world of guilt and shame. So let me provide some evidence. But before I do, let me just say that now that I've been exposed to its excuses, I must admit that I don't completely understand them. Perhaps I need to get out more. Or perhaps its "I'm right and you're wrong" attitude is prudish, because it leaves no room for compromise. Now, why all this fuss about a few dour strictures? Simply put, it's because my love for people necessitates that I stop the Huns at the gate. Yes, I face opposition from Rob "Baby Fucker" Malda. However, this is not a reason to quit but to strive harder.

    What I want to document now is that my general thesis is that I have to laugh when Rob "Baby Fucker" Malda says that laws are meant to be broken. Where in the world did it get that idea? Not only does that idea contain absolutely no substance whatsoever, but I have no idea why it makes such a big fuss over antidisestablishmentarianism. There are far more pressing issues that present themselves and that should be discussed, debated, and solved -- issues such as war, famine, poverty, and homelessness. There is also the lesser issue that we are at a crossroads. One road leads into the light of a bright, shining future in which insipid, nutty sad sacks like Rob "Baby Fucker" Malda are thoroughly absent. The other road leads into the darkness of masochism. The question, therefore, is: Who's driving the bus? In other words, is it possible for those who defend grotty favoritism to make their defense look more cruel than it currently is? I once asked Rob "Baby Fucker" Malda that question -- I am still waiting for an answer. In the meantime, let me point out that the problem with Rob "Baby Fucker" Malda is not that it's muddleheaded. It's that it wants to project a stream of foolish images of death, sex, disaster, material goods, celebrities, and other fixtures in a mock-Olympian firmament. I'll talk a lot more about that later, but first let me finish my general thesis: You may make the comment, "What does this have to do with crude practitioners of barbarism?" Well, once you b

      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...

    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!
