Exploring Firefox Extensions
Gary writes "If you haven't made the switch to Mozilla Firefox it may be because you aren't aware of the great benefits Firefox has over IE. Flexbeta has posted a nice HOWTO guide on Firefox extensions; my favorite is the Target Alert extension which displays a small graphic next to links that are not web pages. For example a mailto: link will display a small envelope, a link to a PDF file will display a small Adobe icon, etc."
FP!!
propz to my homies
You know, I wish they would stop changing their name. I use Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox as my sole browser and absolutely enjoy it. The problem is, I am trying to get my family to use it as well, but trying to keep them straight on what it is called is getting a little ridiculous. Conversation with family: "You know that browser I gave you a link on...No, not Mozilla. Yeah, it was Firebird. No now its called Firefox. I don't know why, just use it"

Can anyone tell me what happened to the Debian news I saw 2 minutes ago on the front page? It was the story posted after the LCD screens, I clicked on the link, got a Nothing to see here error and it disappeared!!! I know it was a dupe, but deleting pages without explainations...

Them/they is commonly used as a gender-neutral pronoun in English.
Just tell her to upgrade Windows to Service Pack 2 and then explain how IE's new inbuilt popup blocker will suppress those pop up windows. Everyone's happy.
I like the way it allows the creation of things for niche markets. For example, tarzan.spoox.org is the most comprehensive online discography for drumnbass, and you can get things which let you search tarzan by track/artist/label, from where the google search is.
What I'd like to see are the blocking of ads depending on the URL the image links too.
... too with an extra "o" means extra or also -- as in: TOO MANY NERDS DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WRITING CLEARLY. The word to with just one o is a preposition. What, pray tell, is a preposition? A preposition links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence. As in: IF YOU KEEP SHOWING YOUR IGNORANCE WITH YOUR SPELLING ERRORS, I AM GOING TO DO SOMETHING NASTY TO YOU. A preposition, of course, is not to be confused with a proposition, which is an offer or solicitation. I'll avoid mentioning the context in which it is often used because it is sexual in nature and I know that is a sore subject for most Slashdotters -- especially considering that it takes TWO (note the spelling, AC, note the spelling!) to tango.
Damn you, Anonymous Coward, why do I keep having to give you grammar lessons??? For the last time
Ahem.
I would have to say that explosives are the most abused technology in all of history.
why the HELL was this moderated as "offtopic"? God, the immature anti-microsoft "tude" pours through everything, even when it's irrational.
The originial post, "Why people cling to IE", discussed the motivation, for recommending Firebird, being the elimination of popups while using Internet Explorer.
Mentioning that XP2 adds a popup block feature is a relevent fact, since the discussion is about a browser feature comparison, and XP2 DID IN FACT ADD THAT FEATURE.
How is that Offtopic?
