  1. here's a new one. main changes are with the dock ;)

    those images that i posted are very highly compressed. i doubt that you can make smaller versions of them, but meh.

    also, does anyone know of any good Playing icons? the ones that i have are kinda boring...

  2. I use both Opera and FireFox. I use FF 100% on my linux machines. I would use Opera 100% if they had adblock. I know there are some extension they have to block images, but you have to restart for it to take effect. Adblock blocks images and flash as I see them no need to restart. I also love gMail manager and Forecastfox. I could live without the forecastfox but not my adblock.

    Opera already has an adblocking feature built-in. go to "Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Content > Blocked Content to see all the blocked websites. you have to manually edit the think though. but if you don't feel like doing that, then just find urlfilter.ini(either in %appdata% or in the Program Files directory depending on instalation settings) and copy/paste.

    But Opera is also the ONLY browser I use that's given me problems rendering some pages. Some pages on MSDN won't even show, some of the DHTML widgets on some pages end up having scrollers and such when they shouldn't have and what not. Works well for most pages, but just not good enough to use as a primary browser. That, and the download screen that's totally obnoxious! (is there a way to make this thing just GO AWAY?)
    blame Microsoft for that. Opera always doesn't display MSDN pages because Microsoft can't realize that Opera supports the web standards. and AFAIK, Microsoft serves Opera an old and incompatable stylesheet for Opera to use. i can't say for sure that Microsoft does that because that's just my guess. however, i do know that something similar used to happen with Hotmail 2 years ago.

    and as for Firefox extensions, that's a horrible idea IMO. sure extensions are really great, but the end result is that you get slower startup, slower browser(in some but not all cases), and more memory usage. Opera has a ton of functionality which doesn't use up a lot of memory and doesn't mess with my browsing experiance. btw, if anyone is interested, here's a list which shows 150 firefox extensions. it pretty much shows if Opera has similar or better functionality.

  3. the negative effect of having it is 124MB of storage space(well that's how much Uninstall Tools says there is). you also get more HD space taken away if you have the .NET 1.1 Framework(which i currently don't have).

    as for NTRegOp, i've only used it once so i can't say that i can back up my claims. however, i've found RegCompact.NET to work better for me since it has a more detailed GUI. Plus, it's Open Source :)

  4. i've personally used Firefox before and i never plan on doing so again. when i tried Opera for the first time, it loaded like s***(the command buttons looked weird). but then again i tried it again and it seems that it was fixed. and now i'm using Opera 9.01 and i'm happy :). the reason why i won't use firefox is because of its XUL garbage and its memory leaks. if i wanted a Gecko browser, K-Meleon would be sufficient for me.

    btw: if anyone is intrested in reading,

  5. This release requires online validation...is there anyway to get past that? More importantly, is there any way to install this unattended?

    no. and asking for that around here usually gets people banned. so don't do it.
