>> I absolutely despise the concept of dual joystick and I think the XBox controllers are the worst yet. Many people would surely agree with me that they're oversized and poorly laid out. There are of course third party replacements.
What is the problem for so many people over the X-box "Duke" controller? Personally, I prefer them over the "S", Gamecube, and PS2 controller anyday.
Is it the size? To me, it feels...solid. Like it's custom fit for my hand.
I fail to see what the problem is with it is. Can anyone please explain?

>> Your "GDI Scanning Tool" is worse than useless. Run it, and it tells you that you "may be vulnerable", and directs you to Windows Update and Office Update. Go to Windows Update and update everything you can find. Go to Office Update and do the same. Run the scanner again, and it tells you that you "may be vulnerable", and directs you to Windows Update and Office Update. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I fail to see how that's not useful. EVERYONE should be going to Windows Update to install patches!

Same reason why I'm going to buy a Sidekick 2. For 20 bucks and being out and about and having not having enough hotspots to make use of my lapbox's wireless internet, it's nice to know I can be reached through AIM by my family.
Of course, there is Sprint Relay But, I don't really feel comfortable!not enough info on the whole relay thing. So far, the Sidekick with the $20 unlimited plan looks like the thing for a teenage hard-of-hearing geek.
Sidekick 2 looks nice. Hopefully they fixed the problems you mentioned. Seeing how I'm askin' my parents to buy the phone while I pay the bill.

Well, nothing...really. Just that the browser add-ons you mentioned are just that, add-ons. That, and they probably (I have never used them) have Spyware attached to them.
You hear that, Microsoft!? Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball just isn't enough for us! The people love the Chief! Now after Bungie brings Halo 2 to the masses, get them started on our date with John! Heck, I'll even toss in a free decision makin' choice for you! So you can see how the Asian market sells these so well!
John/Chief: "I can't find my Dual-SMGs!"
The player: 1) I'm sure they're somewhere *whistle* 2) You sure they aren't in you're armor? 3) I'll help you look for them, here, take my battle rifle, you can hold on to it.
Big points for those that are subtile to the Chief! Even bigger points for those that choose to play as a female (as those in Everquest seem to like to do so much)!
It's GOLD, Mircosoft! GOLD!!!!!

Using plugins from third party vendors (and more), desktop searching may become a regular part of firefox.
Some of us are rather fine with using the default search function in the OS.
Why should we have a manditory feature that wouldn't really be used?
Will there be a extension for a secret Halo 2 level!?
Come on, Bungie and Mozilla! We know you're working together! The release date says it all!
...Make the Master Chef cry. =(
...Or, at least break out the SMGs to "flip-out-and-kill-people-in-a-hospital-zone-on-fi re-while-Ninja's-chase-him." (Paraphrased, of course.)

Cut back to Peter and William Shatner dancing barefoot in puddles by the side of the road. Meg comes along the road, and spots them.
Peter: Aaaargh!
William: My God! Look out!
The car skids to a stop, but knocks them both down. Meg and Lois get out.
Meg: Oh, my God. I hit William Shatner.
William: Light... growing... dimmer... can't... breathe. Beam me up, God.
He lays flat on his back, his shirt pops open and his gut pops out. Ensign Ricky and a crowd of people stand watching.
Ensign: Whoo. I did not see that coming.

The only preformance outside Star Trek that I can stand by Shatner.
You are god.
Thanks! That worked.
What happpened to the Theme manager on Windows?
...Wait, what? That wasn't there before! What has happened to the Theme managar since 0.9.1?!?
*Updated from 0.9.1 to 0.10.1*
*Went to see if all the themes he uses are there.*
*Yep, click to change from the ugly 0.9.x+ theme to a IE looking one (to show off Firefox to friends)*
"You must restart Firefox."

Mod up, informative.
I should make a topic in my journal for solving this. We could have a Livejournal ARG community.
I would think so. There was one for when the Matrix sequals came out.
I don't really see the point of these. Someone wanna explain the fun of solving these things?

Mozilla vs. Godzilla.

>>Just one of the advantages is that mozilla (and opera) is multiplatform.
.nix. Otherwise, it can be used on the "Major" OS's.
Sorry! But, You are wrong. At least, in the version 5 series. Version 6 is not a program for Mac.
Only multiplatform problem for IE is the

>>Wonder how long until FireFox turns 1.0?
Actually, it should turn 1.0 by September. At least, that's what Mozilla has stated.
Happy Birthday Mozilla! Thanks for givin' us a stable browser! *Posting from Firefox 0.9.2*
