  1. Re:Awesome bar disable? on Firefox 3.1 Alpha "Shiretoko" Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No idea, I use to to navigate a lot faster than I did in FF2. I just start typing the name of something I have visited and it doesn't have to be the URL... I love it I think its awesome, but I guess having the option to disable it for those that want to disable it would be okay, as long as they don't complain about FF being "bloated."

  2. Re:I hope he wins on UK Hacker Loses Extradition Appeal · · Score: 1

    Yeah playing basketball and soccer (football), praying, and hanging out 24/7 is horrible treatment. You're totally correct. I really hate people that believe every little lie about the US that comes out, while never mentioning China, North Korea, etc. etc.

  3. Re:Well not quite, BUT... on How Do Geeks Exercise? · · Score: 1

    This was the funniest thing I've read all day, and my day just started. Thanks ;-)

  4. Copy & Paste on Full Review of the iPhone 2 On Launch Day · · Score: 1

    As a current BlackBerry user who tried the iPhone for 4 days before returning it earlier this year. I have to say, I wish this thing had copy and paste! Its an essential feature for me at least. If it had c&p and video capabilities, I'd jump all over it as the uber phone everyone claims it to be. However, lacking these features that my [cheaper at the time] 8310 can deliver me is a turn off.

  5. Re:So anyone who disagrees with you is a traitor? on Senate Passes Telecom Immunity Bill · · Score: 1

    Just a reminder that the 2nd amendment is the right to bear arms. Lots of people who are opposed to this (granting immunity), based on the 4th and 1st amendment, probably want to take my guns away from me too... 2 comes before 4

  6. Re:and exactly how is this different than... on AVG Fakes User Agent, Floods the Internet · · Score: 1

    Good point Ornedan!

  7. Re:Too bad. I used to love this AV on AVG Fakes User Agent, Floods the Internet · · Score: 1

    You know you don't even have to INSTALL the linkscanner right? I didn't...just do a custom install. I custom install EVERYTHING on my pc, this way I don't get some ninja tool-bar or some other crap. You don't need to find an alternative, you just need to disable it, or re-install and choose not to install it.

  8. Re:Security on AVG Fakes User Agent, Floods the Internet · · Score: 1

    NOD32 is the BEST...no doubt. But its been slowing my system down lately, no idea why. Takes Call of Duty 4 over 60 seconds to start. I disabled it as I was troubleshooting, and bingo, fired right up. So I switched to AVG, since my free trial was almost up anyway. AVG lately has been performing better in tests, but nod32 is the best. I won't argue with ya there! Also, its not hacking...its changing settings...if you're afraid to change default settings of a program...then you're stuck with that they give you as default

  9. Re:Turning off the link scanner on AVG Fakes User Agent, Floods the Internet · · Score: 1

    This is right, plus with the latest program updates, you can suppress the WARNING you get from disabling it. I just did a custom install and unchecked the linkscanner... :-)

  10. Re:Security on AVG Fakes User Agent, Floods the Internet · · Score: 1

    Very good site: http://www.tweakguides.com/ I've been using a few of his guides for a reference now for a couple years.

  11. Linkscanner on AVG Fakes User Agent, Floods the Internet · · Score: 1

    I don't use that linkscanner crap. I use AVG cause its free, but I don't use the email scanner or the linkscanner...which is probaby what's causing this. If you do a custom install you can uncheck that linkscanner crap.

  12. Re:Refuse the order on YouTube Must Give All User Histories To Viacom · · Score: 1

    Judge would simply fine them X dollars per day until they complied. This is why companies keep offshore accounts and move their headquarters to other "smaller" countries. The EU, and the US are to much trouble...be it from government, corporations, or citizens with frivolous suits

    You're pretty objective aren't you.

    Exactly my friend, great post

  15. Re:Thats what they get on Mass Effect DRM Still Causing Issues · · Score: 1

    Exactly, they make good solid entertaining games. I purchase their games.

  16. Re:It was on the Ubuntui update last nite.... on Firefox 3 Release On Tuesday · · Score: 1

    That's because the RC becomes the final if its not changed. RC3 will be the final. I'm sure we'll see 3.0.1 soon though. Once its fully released and the majority of users upgrade to it.

  17. Re:Let me be sure I understand.... on How To Spot E-Vote Tampering? · · Score: 1

    Was this an attempt at humor?

  18. Re:Biased? on How Tech-Savvy Will the Next President Be? · · Score: 1

    Well said my friend, well said. That's the same impression I got from that article too. Lots of feel good words, not much reality.

  21. Re:And people ask why I support Jesse Ventura? on Senator Proposes to Monitor All P2P Traffic for Illegal Files · · Score: 1

    This is what happens when we have totally clueless people, almost all of whom are lawyers, running the government's legislative branch... They know nothing about technology...they usually propose laws that sound good and make their constituents feel good, never thinking of the possible consequences of the law in the future. Now if I jokingly make a file name with some child porn tags in it, as a joke and its really a movie of that donkey with a hard on chasing the dude as his pants fall down...I get investigated... 1984?

  22. Re:Legal yellow times on Cities Tampering With Traffic Lights To Generate Revenue · · Score: 1

    Haven't seen anyone mention the 40 ton (80,000) trucks that I drive. I drive nationwide, and lower Canada. We CAN NOT stop from 45MPH with a 3 second yellow light. We will either lose control and cause a major f up or run the light slower than we would if we had not tried to stop. Seriously, people always talk about this kind of stuff and act like they know so much, but no one (from what I read) had once mentioned any other vehicle besides a standard car. My truck is about 70 feet long and can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. Take this into account while you all discuss the timings and distances etc. What if the car in front of me slams on their brakes to avoid a ticket at a short yellow light intersection, and I rear end them with 76,000 pounds of steel! Death. Big brother is watching...and profitting

  23. I just hope... on US House Rejects Telecom Amnesty · · Score: 1

    I just hope that once all the people get rich off the lawsuit settlements, and the phone companies begin refusing anything thats not explicitly authorized by a judge, and there's a piece of intel that slips by...that San Fransisco is the target. I feel pretty safe here in central Georgia. Good luck on the left coast ;-)

  24. How do we know its propaganda? on US Government Caught Manipulating Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Maybe its corrections? Or factual changes? Really, I doubt the Inquirer has the intel capabilities of the CIA or MI6...or France...etc. I love how they refer to the President as "Mr. Bush" LOL Hmmm, wonder where their political views lie... :-p

  25. I'm hoping for a fire on Diffing Guantanamo Bay SOP Manuals · · Score: 1

    Lots of people want that base to be closed, or just the detainee section to be closed. I'm all for closing the base... After a freak accident starts a fire that runs out of control so fast the detainees aren't able to be released and all die in the fire :( sad I know... Good news will be all our soldiers and any civilian staff/observers all escape the flames.
