i dont understand what the problem is, the only use i had of the status bar was for link urls so why keep it?

A fuckton of users instead got the chance to step outside their house for a day and get some sunshine while waiting to be able to login again.

@EnderW Pretty much any extension since the web store got opened which is not a FF port to chrome... Heres some of the once that i have installed: -last.fm free music player (a must have) -exfm (kinda sux) -evernote (can live without till they get a ff4 version by using web interface but its...

@unknown-one I already said that also according to bugtracker and my own experience its fixed in b12

- random thought of the day having to restart for addons in FF is a b*tch while you can install extensions and enable/disable them at will in chrome ... no, i don't work for google

@joe All i am saying is that you seem to be doing your testing in a manner thats not true to normal web usage, firefox takes a while to free up ram so it'll keep climbing for as long you are loading and flipping tabs till u stop to actually read a page. The bottom line is that ff3 is a f*in...

Common ppl, this is hardforum... stop sounding like spam bots and say something constructive. Stuff like that happen all the time on lesser sites, but noone notices... besides, ppl just lost access, nothing like what happened with hotmails disappearing mail a little while ago. Just use some...

Did a quick test of webrep when i upgraded and it seems like it doesnt have much of any data about sites yet so it'll be a while before i consider switching to it from WOT. Ive never actually came across a virus on my machine, do viruses exist lol? Common sense > antivius. Anyway, Avast is...

@joe average betas have had some massive memory leaks, latest of which was adblock plus related, but all should be fixed now with beta12. On paper and in my own experience (normal web usage) FF uses less memory then chrome... The only problem memory wise that still exist with FF is that it...

It's scary how far chrome has come in the short time its been out, FF4 already feels outdated and its not even out yet. Last years excuse for FF was to keep using it cause of the great addons and because it "just works"... this year since the webstore everybody is spewing chrome extensions like...

Thats what email clients are for. Download and store things you cant afford to lose.

Jumped on the G500 bestbuy sale too. I have considered mx518 the end-all mice. Went through 3-4 in the past 7-10 years or so. MX518: Pros - Perfect fit... i lift it with my palm and 2 fingers on the buttons, its literally glued to my hand. Nice and tight wheel. Large side buttons. Cons - Not...

I'am in

http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/days_of_deals?c=us&cs=19&l=en&pid=2&s=dhs Dell has like 40% off and free shipping on inspiron 15 for a couple days. Comes to like $600 with HD4330, $700 something if you want 3mb cache and 4gigs for a decent desktop replacement. I would jump on...

Define "casual gaming". For $500 you are looking at something to browse the net on the couch and maybe do old game titles up to WoW. For later titles you'll have to find a $800+ laptop with discrete graphics at half price.

or the sub.

Check the [hot]deals, there's a deal on the m-audios at amazon.

I am in too. Good luck all.

Talk about spreading FUD.

So whats your solution? If you say thats whats keeping it from mainstream and vendors wont fix it because its not mainstream... where do we go from here? the problem as i said is slow adoption and little interest since all vendors care about is profit. If this is not ready for the desktop...

No it doesnt... you add them like you would on windows. Linux is not windows. You had to learn windows and every app on it you use the same way you have to learn linux... Its not hard, you just have to know your way around and lose the windows mentaility. Change is always slow and the...

'<app> &' same thing. Also, theres application launchers for thiese things. KDE/Gnome etc all come with one, icewm/lxde have one built within the panel 'mod+space' and for the once that dont there is bashrun that you can install separately or my favorite, dmenu.

A lot of confusion in this thread. I realize its old but ill try to clear up some things for people who might come across here like I did. Its closer to slackware/freebsd/crux then it is to gentoo. The only thing arch really has incommon with gentoo is ABS (the ports like system) which is...

WOW, already 8 pages and i thought i was one of the first reading the review ;p I am so psyched to see ATI back competing! I also hear there's kickass linux drivers on the way which is actually a greater feat, theyve been loosing serious market share locking themselves out of linux with no...

Arent linux distros pretty much immune? Ive never heard of an antivirus for ubantu and as far as i can tell the anti-virus companies are pretty much cashing in till microsoft gets their shit together.

So? How does that make quad core the best buy today? My 3 year old 3700+ machine is still going strong except that i saved myself a ton of money back then from not having to buy a new psu, high end mb and super expensive ram to overclock. And if you point is simply that shit gets outdated, then...

You dont need anti-virus then if thats all you do

I wouldnt go to that extreme, theres people who dual-bot etc, its all subjective. . . theres market for both.

My thoughts exactly. I agree 100%

What happened with Huxley? Its been like 4 years since it got announced ;/, ill probably outgrow games by the time it gets released.

Why play online if youll be spending most of the time alone? Am i missing something? You just end up pressing the same buttons over and over... with groups/raids at least your friends/guild keep things interesting a bit longer. IMO that effort would be better spent on warcraft4 or an mmofps...

Solo play only really works in mmofps's, for mmorpgs you have to be willing to expose class weaknesses (eq2) and dumb down the combat system (wow) or both (vanguard). Plenty of single player games for people that wanna solo and theres plenty of other things to do in an mmorpg then grind on weak...

Its actually the heating up and cooling down that wears off components (pcb in particular) not so much heat. If anything, It might add some to your fans life if they last through all the throttling in the first place. Other then that its basically a power saving feature (as advertised) at...

Does any of the heat exit from the back at all? I cant tell if the sides are sealed to guide the hot air or if its just a frame to hold the fan blowing on top.

Thats the only way to be safe, but most households buy computers for online banking to begin with. By that logic noone should be driving or living in a high crime city etc. As you said, the best you can do is educate yourself and others and even if you do everything right you are probably...
