  1. Re:I "Read"... on What Magazines Do You Read? · · Score: 1

    I remember once there was a page on mozilla.org which listed some praise by different people/orgs. Playboy was one of them, and said that Mozilla was the best browser on Earth.

    My mom got hit with the jdbmgr.exe one. I thought it was pretty clever, but really harmless. Anyone who would use that app (it has something to do with programing java) would be smart enough to not be affected by it.

    Now my mom checks snopes.com for everything.

    Funny you should mention Fox News, Let's see what they thought of it.

    But, really, in the end, not seeing "F9/11" would be like allowing your First Amendment rights to be abrogated, no matter whether you're a Republican or a Democrat.

    Sway voters? No, he will put off more voters than he gains. You do not gain voters by spewing ludicrous hate like MM.
    Sure you do. For the liberals*, this will rally them up and make them vote, when they may have not voted before. This isn't going out towards undecided voters or conservatives. This is purely a move to get people against Bush to vote against Bush.

    *I'm not saying whether I'm a liberal or conservative.

    Mozilla may not work, but you don't have to keep using IE. You might want to try MyIE 2 or Avant Browser a try. They both use IE's rendering engine, so they'd have a higher chance of working.

    ...you must install add-on software, and change multiple settings in multiple programs, thus causing "some Web sites to work improperly." By changing more settings, you can regain functionality for a particular site if "you trust that it is safe to use," which you have no way of knowing. Or... Or... you install stand-alone software (Mozilla), change several settings in Mozilla and in windows to get it customized as much as IE was and as your default browser. You realize by using Mozilla, some sites written for IE (*cough*banks*cough*) may function improperly. And of course, no matter how many settings you change, they will always stay broken. That's a whole lot better.

    Now, I kid. I'm using Firefox right now. I'm just saying that switching over to FF or Mozilla isn't just a cross-your-arms-and-wiggle-your-nose switch. It takes a lot of work, less work than doing all that to IE.

    But the big news is that our friends (job stealers? (-;) in India have announced that the Indian site Rediff has announced the launch of Rediffmail 1 GB (gigabyte), giving virtually unlimited storage space of 1 gigabyte to all its free email users in India and worldwide
    Psh. 1 gig, is that all? India's neighbor to the far north, Russia, offers free unlimited email. Yes that's right, unlimited. The only downside is that it's all in Russian, but it doesn't take that long to get used to it. If anyone wants directions on how to sign up, send me an email at my /. username @yandex.ru and I'll see if I can help you out.
