Un4given1, I don't swear very often on the forums and when I do, it gets *'d out so I am not worrying over my choice of words at all. I really don't care if you use IE, but IMHO if you or anyone else doesn't like Firefox primarily because it takes those precious seconds to open, that is just sad to me. I assumed it was your primary reason because its what you mention in your one line statement. You didn't say anything about how you've used it for years and its never given you trouble and you're happy about it. You just went to what you think is the negative side of Firefox. If you had of said that, I wouldn't have gone further in the debate. It's usually silly to debate certain people because regardless of what anyone says, they won't change. I don't want you to change, thus not caring what you use for browsing. I use Firefox and I love it and can't wait for v1.5 and for IE's market share to from 87% to 86% and so forth. You use IE and you're sticking with it. The world continues to go on.

Well, aren't you special. Big ego rising. Was that an assumption being made about me even though I stated I don't use a non-secure browser? Hahaha. Anyway, I'm done in this thread. People keep saying whether or not they like this or that browser. It's up to the individual. I have my preference, I don't give a s*** what anyone else picks, unless they choose it for reasons that can't be justifiable.

Mmmhmm, rather have something instant than have it far more secure... typical. The memory for IE is loaded at Windows start-up. If anyone isn't too lazy to read for a minute, check this out.

It's more like 3 seconds on my system. I wonder what I could do in those 2 seconds. Crack my knuckles maybe? The time duration excuse is simply disgusting. Heh, I talked to puntomx on Trillian a few days ago and he told me to check for spyware. I told him I don't use IE and use nLite and erase my cache, temp, index.dats, cookies, etc with East-Tec Eraser and don't use Java and very little JavaScript. I told him because of all this, I don't have any spyware. He told me I did. I did the deepest search with the program and came up with 0 results. So anyway, if a whole [b]5 seconds[/b] is that important to you when it comes to being secure, you deserve to be infected with Spyware.

I was thinking the same thing.. Why would someone post that in this forum anyway? How much clearer do names have to be? if "Gamers Hangout" isn't clear enough, I don't think ">>>>GAMERS<<<<<" is going to make a difference.

Just search for a Walkthrough...

I'm not going to base a vote on the types of games it has. Each person will have their own preference about a game, anyway. To say "Xbox rules because of these games" is going to be ultimately debatable to many others, it's ridiculous. The Xbox is the biggest console ever which is no surprise anyway since it comes from Windows. Filesize and physical size. I own a PSTwo and like it. It's not my favorite gaming machine, though. Limited features compared to the PS2. GameCube? HA! Please, folks. When this console came out they said it was to be the next generation of gaming from Nintendo. That's exact why they went from a N64 which was 2D and 3D mixed to the Cube which was a, ah yes, 2D and 3D mixed! What next generation? It's the same **** thing! Now they make yet another one called Revolution? If that thing is the same, I am going to punch a wall sooo hard just to vent my utter disgust. Now to choose my favorite gaming console. None. The PC is the best. (Null Vote)

N64 is not the greatest console of all time. Nintendo focuses on games for kids. That's why so many Mario based games. Their best games were GoldenEye 007, and Zelda - Ocarina of Time. Why? Because it was the best they did with graphics, gameplay, storyline and realism. The best gaming console of all time will be the next proceeding console to be released and so on simply because they always gets better, can handle higher graphics, features, options, etc. So far, though, it's the PC. A game can only get better as newer sound cards, video games, processors, RAM, and higher graphics come around.

East-Tec Eraser is awesome for wiping! As for 7 passes "just to be sure"... files can be recovered up to 35 levels. But since 7 passes is enough to prevent both software and hardware recovery, it's all you need. I found a freeware app a while back simply called Eraser but it was buggy.

Nanaki, I take offense to the "good sense" remark you made. Firefox is a great browser. It has its flaws and that why we have version updates. Now, Sunil, your comments really p*** me off. Firefox bloated??? ROTFLMAO IE is bloated. Where was that screenshot I found on these forums that showed 80% of the IE window consumed by useless spyware toolbars and 114000+ had been detected? Take that and compare it to Firefox with the toolbars customized to have only menu names and address bar. One colum compared to what... 25 of various column widths? And yes, I know this is only interface-related. Firefox is not bloated. You can have as many or as little plugins and you want and the configurations are very straight forward. And the whole "role reversal" comment, as far as that goes, under those cimcumstances, people would be saying "Hail IE" instead of "Hail Firefox or Opera". Simple as that. It's best not to think about it, though, it's too weird. And the whole thing about it being tied into the system, well I use nLite and remove Internet Explorer and it hasn't affected my computing abilities at all. There will be some people who use the excuse of system-integration to backup their preference for IE. Then you have people like me who go the next step and actually find out... IE sucks baby. I feel very sorry for anyone who uses IE. The POS hasn't had an update in what... 4 years?

Well, I'm not huge on PC Gaming, but I have played a few in the past year. In order from first to last played: Manhunt Star Wars - Jedi Outcast Doom 3 Half-Life 2 Star Wars Battlefront Manhunt is retarded and gets boring very quickly, didn't beat it.. Jedi Outcast was fun and very challenging. I used some cheats simply because I wanted to see the cut-scenes. Doom 3 scared the s*** out of me. Once again, I used the cheats to see the cut-scenes and bosses. Very... evil game. Half-Life 2 has incredible realism and is not fun with cheats simply because it's so life-like. I haven't beaten it yet and will likely get re-obssesed with it sometime. Star Wars Battlefront has good graphics, great AI. I like all the interactivity. Not enough levels, though. The "Victory" screen you get after destroying/killing the enemy reminds me of the "Victory" pop-up you get in the old Egyptian city-building game Pharaoh after you complete all the objectives. What games should I play? I'm open to suggestions.

That's debatable. The new JV16 PowerTools has some cool file managing features.

Don't be a moron.

It is a very good browser, no question. However, the "best" is debatable, hence this whole thread. But, what counts is that you're happy with it. My girlfriend uses Opera.

Yes, Audacity is awesome. I got CDEx for my girlfriend and she likes it a lot.

Meh, I don't go for speed, I go for efficiency.

Yeah, don't use Norton. It is garbage these days. Seriously. I had Norton years ago and it didn't do s*** for me. POS.

I hate smoking. I tried once when I was 14 and it lasted for a few days but I stopped before things got worse for me. That was 6 years ago. I'm glad both my girlfriend and I don't smoke. We can't stand when people smoke and hate that they smoke. It destroys your life. It takes away your money and your health. All those harmful substances going into your body,

I use Shareaza but a friend of mine from this forum (Fridge-Raider) recently helped me set up my first FTP Server. I absolutely love it! The ability to share files with my friends directly via our FTP Servers is the best way to do things I think. I get files easily from them that would take all night just to get a few search results on Shareaza.

The Cutest One Out Of All The Pics I Current Have On My PC It's from October 1st 2004, though. I still looks the same except my hair a bit longer and I'm shaved.

Hardware Firewall = My Head. lmao

Firefox v1.5 and Opera v8.0 are both goinig to excellent browsers. That's something far from anything IE will ever be.

Firefox v1.5 and Opera v8.0 are going to kick a**.

XPLite? ha.

The web browser part is wrong, out of date eh? IE is not 92%, it's 87% at the rising success of Firefox.

I read that thing a few weeks ago somewhere else. Can't remember. I think it was on Bash.org. That place rules!
