  5. Am I the only one? on Firefox 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I seem to have some very wierd bugs in my Firefox I use win98 perhaps that's the case...

  6. Thanx valve on Half-Life 2 Retail to Require Steam Activation · · Score: 5, Insightful

    so how am I supposed to play it when it's imposiible for me to use STEAM?!?! I must use a proxy server to connect to the internet, which is also used by many other people, so port-forwarding is not an option. Therefore no steam for my PC. And thus I can't even play the legitimate version of it, oh well I guess I'm just going to need to find a cracked, boot-legged version of it anyway :(

    Is it just me or are they actualy porting HL1 to source? In that case, I might just re-visit Black Mesa

  9. Re:Easy, rebrand firefox on Will Google Launch A Browser? · · Score: 1
    exatly, all us Firefox users are already using the google browser, just think about it:
    • Integrated Google search and I feel lucky,
    • Integrated gmail with the help of a few extensions,
    umm, there must be other obvious things that I haven't noticed yet, but then again how hard is it to add them...

  12. Re:I just read about this on the NYT... on Astronomers Find Smaller Extrasolar Planets · · Score: 1

    IIRC then if the planets mass is less than some number, then they fail to become gas giants, and are therefore solid, this is what they consider Earthlike

  14. Re:why not? on NTSB Recommends Black Boxes For All Cars · · Score: 1

    Good idea, I only hope that our lawmakers in Latvia adapt something similar, the death rate in traffic accidents here is simply tragic: about 260 people killed this year for a 2,4 million country is ALOT

    well dunno about the states, but here (in Latvia) none of those things paas.
    (a)you can get a subsidised phone for some $20
    (b)the terms of service are OK

    besides, you have to talk for hours and hours to pay $70/month, I use a prepayed card and I NEVER pay more than $15/month

  16. Re:Ringtones? We've had them for years now! on Cell Phone Ringtones Give Music Industry Another Headache · · Score: 1

    As a matter of fact, people are buing ringtones not to show off, insted because they want to be shure that it's their phone that's ringing not those other peoples phones

    grr Hate it. The darn thing is just probably unfinished, or so I hope. But none the less the rest of it is pure beutiful, except some random window closing that is...
