    Alternative Browser

    I currently use Mozilla 1.6b with the modern theme. All Gecko-based browser are superior to IE by a lot. They also run using less ressources than Opera 7.2x. I used to use Firebird, but the 0.7 release dates a little bit and the nightly builds are just that : nightly builds. And I prefer the...

    [NEWS] - Doug solves CityK's problems...

    After months of battling with browser settings that simply despised SF's news submission feature, a little help from SF's webmaster Doug "Handy" Handruin went a long way in enabling CityK to finally manage to overcome the restrictions enforced by his web browser. Doug quickly latched onto the...

    KaZaA Lite sites all down

    The main reason I'm pissed about the vanishing of Kazaalite sites was that they had started to offer as a free download a version of NOD32 (that only scans with all the latest updates, but which cannot be updated). I used it once a week and every now and then on customers' systems when I...

    www.kazaalite.tk has been shut down www.kazaalite243.com and www.kazaalitesite.com now both lead to Google. Is it the end of KaZaA lite? I'm quite pissed about this, since I find it totally unacceptable to have as only solution to resort to the regular KaZaA which installs shitty spyware...

    But why do you have to keep the ratio the same? The huge disparity between salaries is another big contributor to the spreading of poverty. If instead of allowing the gnegnegneeer a salary 2.5x the amount of a minimum wage, you give 1.5x to start and then maybe up to 2x-2.25x with experience...

    We can only speculate on this until we can get the final product, Lunar. By the reports given by OEMs with sample units, a 3.2gagahertz Prescott should be between the vanilla P4 3.2GHz and the P4 3.2GHz Extreme Edition. I presume this means we can expect that at the same frequency, Prescott...

    Same's true for cigar smokers. But the cancer rate should be quite lower for mouth cancer than lung cancer because the mouth is a far less vulnerable area than lungs are. At least that's how I see it.

    Paying someone 100$/month is called exploitation. Plus, cancelling a job in your country without replacing it is increasing poverty. Every time a 15$/hour job is cancelled and replaced by a 100$/month job elsewhere around the globe, the end result is to impoverish the work class worldwide...

    [NEWS]- (deserved) Celeron-bashing article at Anandtech.

    The article is supposed to be a comparative review of budget processors, but the results are so much in favor of AMD that in the end, the article is more a warning against Celeron than anything else : I knew Intel's budget CPU was bad, but I wasn't thinking it was that much. Shameful. BTW...
