I remember Firefox 1.5 being the version when I switch from IE.. >_>

That's a fair.. while ago now too. :o
I remember how you hated Firefox 3.0's bookmarking, and how I told you to switch to Opera back then :P

Makes me wonder why you switched from IE6 back then in the first place. IE6 was certainly better until Firefox 2.0 came out.

woah woah woah what

Then again, I remember I was used to Windows 98, where IE of course was unuable because it got filled with crap toolbars and viruses. :P (And I was on a shared computer, so "don't go to those kinds of websites" doesn't work)
IE6 was very crashy on 98 as well, it was great on 2000/XP though.
Arguably, 98 was not secure enough for the Internet in 2001 anyway :P
Also, not many people know IE6 actually did support tabs.

Some toolbars by legit companies we're pretty useful.
MSN Toolbar gave you tabs, while with Google Toolbar you could do a cool web search.
Ten Internets to whoever facepalms to my terrible pun.

Also, Brittany Lauda is a better Pinkie Pie than Andrea Libmann imo, she has that little sprinkle of insanity that I miss in the original voice.
Andrea is still the better Fluttershy though, although Bree's attempt was pretty good.

After two serious infections which glided through the various IE6 security holes back then.. I'm not so sure I'd want to keep running the same browser.
It's funny you say that, since Firefox actually had more security holes than IE back then.
I did have a lot of ActiveX security problems on IE5 but not on IE6. And only when running on an admin account in 2000/XP, or just running on 98/Me which were insecure by design.
Though there was another browser at that time which already had an excellent security record ;)

Chrome's really nice. Haven't heard anything about the crashing that some people are talking about.
When I tried Chrome the first time, I got greeted by the "Send error report" window. I never did get to browse in it. :x
What version were you trying? It was no good until version 4.
I wonder what your findings will be if you try Chrome and Opera nowadays.
Chrome loads pages fastest of all due to its DNS prefetching. The fastest rendering depends on the pages itself; Opera is faster on graphics while Chrome is faster on data processing.
Firefox took until version 7 to get an even decent speed.

I love it when a Flash ad can be toyed around with, by merely changing the getdata in the address bar.

Edit: thanks Kawa

I like Norton Ghost, as it still works on MS-DOS 7.1 on a USB-stick (it's too big for a diskette nowadays), it's fast and reliable, there are drivers for modern network cards, and it can do anything you never expected was possible on DOS.

But I don't backup entire partitions, just my personal folder which is about 350 GB at this time, and I pump it to my USB 3.0 external hard drive in a non-compressed WinRAR archive.



Wow, it's high time to do a new backup it seems...

However, not as many sites targeted Firefox's holes as directly as IE which was the dominant browser back then. :/
IE5 was terrible at this, but IE6 did not accept unsigned ActiveX by default, and running a browser as an admin has never been a good idea.
Also, have you ever tried Opera? I never hear you about it, did you never try my suggestion back then?

Generally running the system as an admin is not a good idea. But the Windows permission system pretty much encourages you to be an admin at all times.

ActiveX was a pretty big catastrophe, that's true. These days, however, most malware programmers target browser plugins like Flash or Java, as they are available pretty much everywhere and make easy targets.
ActiveX was not a bigger disaster than Firefox's XUL (the horrendously coded extension platform), which has been exploited many times as well. Also, as the Firefox Myths page I linked earlier explains, ActiveX isn't as bad as most people think.

In Windows XP you have 2 options. One is the Linux-type option, log in as a normal user, and use "Run As Administrator" and enter your password for installations.
The second option is easier, log in as admin and run your browser with something like Sandboxie or DropMyRights.

The true solution however is the very misunderstood User Account Control in Vista/7.

Bol.com.

Also, I prefer actually buying a game, not just a right to play it through some big company-controlled DRM system, so fuck Steam.

Why am I listening to this?
I must be really bored.
Or becoming a hipster. Please stop me in case I consider buying an iPad.

The Firefox Myths page also claims that fans of Firefox believe in the Book of Mozilla as a religious text, so I really don't know if it's the smartest page in the world.
Even some Firefox users like Firefox Myths. It counters the typical fanboy arguments by presenting interesting facts.
As the author says, he has nothing against Firefox itself. He has something against the fanboyism around it, and the myths proclaimed in the aggressive "Rediscover the web" campaign.

We Opera users have nothing against Firefox users either, although we counter the fanboy arguments.
Opera software endorses open web standards, and even embraced Mozilla's excellent APNG standard, something that can not be said of the big companies.

Edit: is this ball animating for you?

There's claiming that they take a joke religious page seriously, and there's countering the idea that Firefox fanboys don't have a religious-level attachment by showing that Firefox contains a joke religious text.

Which is it?

Well, yes, it's the latter. :P But the Book of Mozilla dates back to Netscape, and I dunno if anyone other than me was attached to that.
I remember Netscape vs. IE being 50/50 and then MS included IE with Windows 98 and the Netscape fanboys were like FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

The question is: "Who will be the third person to reach 1000 posts?".
Not: "Who do you want to be the third person to reach 1000 posts?".

I would gladly give Liliana the honour, but GreyMario is getting unbanned soon, he might have the better cards...

You don't read Homestuck. Why do you invoke the quadrants?
For the same reason @Gywall makes unwanted poni references?
