    Rank your system via Microsoft.

    Hmm... since I'm running Firefox and Linux I suspect I'm in the top 1%. Microsoft won't tell me, though...

    Firefox trouble.

    Not a stupid question. Looks like a known bug.

    What Mozilla Extensions Do You Have Installed? 46 Extensions Installed!

    This is the closest I could find: a greasemonkey script which I've never used. This release of mozImage offers the possibility of creating some macros. This macros allow you to use external applications to enhanche mozImage. For example you can use ImageMagick to rotate or resize an image...

    didnt know where else to go help w/ graphic card...

    Your choices are limited by your motherboard. Figure out what your hardware is first. I'd recommend a 6600GT for the best bang/buck.

    Switching to linux... Help?

    Like I said, it's best to just install Windows first onto a 10GB partition. After that, then install Linux on the rest in the manner I described. The install CDs will take care of boot loaders and safeguarding the partitions. You can make a FAT partition of 2GB to share stuff if you want...

    Switching to linux... Help?

    There is no Linux distribution I know of that plays MP3s out of the box. It would be illegal to include such support without paying royalties, and few distros need or can afford the expense, and it also goes against the spirit of open-source licensing. All a user has to do is download an mp3...

    Switching to linux... Help?

    No, XGL isn't its own "GUI" as such. To run any GUI, you need an X server. XGL is another X server. So, that means you can run it with KDE, Gnome, and probably others in the future (though as far as I know the only two supported right now are KDE and Gnome). It runs on OpenGL drivers. You...

    Switching to linux... Help?

    Don't bother with the naysayers... Linux isn't difficult, it's simply that for Windows "power users" accustomed to doing things in very different ways than things are handled in Linux. I'm not too familiar with Thinkpad hardware, but from what I hear they're well supported in Linux...

    Ms Office 2003 Already Registered?

    Chosen: if it came with someone else's computer, that means it's likely an OEM copy and "legally" can't be sold or transferred. Since that's already taken place, I guess all bets are off. Up to you.

    Configuring Raid

    There is no performance gain from anything less than SCSI or Raptor drives in RAID. And with those drives you will only have 80gb if you use RAID-1. But RAID-1 is not a good way to backup, and there's a performance decrease. I suggest you do some more research...

    Why is CAG text resizable using FF but not IE?

    (1) You can also do it with Ctrl+, Ctrl- together. The precision isn't as exact as the mousewheel. (2) Yes, IE cannot resize pixel-specified text. (3) I'm not sure what you mean, but if you want your text sizes/colors to be permanent for a site in FF without changing everything globally, you...

    So why is FIREFOX better than EXPLORER?

    I'm not a member, but it doesn't matter because it's a coding issue. If you'd like to pull the code for me since I'm not a member (even tried to sign up but it appears there isn't a typical email form, and bugmenot didn't have a l/p) and I'll find the problem for you. Maybe they'll even fix it...

    So why is FIREFOX better than EXPLORER?

    Strell, I would say your experience is placebo effect, and Firefox doesn't have any trouble rendering background colours. Coders might have trouble writing actual code, though, which IE thinks is "good enough." And no, FF/*nix aren't more secure because they're not as targeted. They're more...

    So why is FIREFOX better than EXPLORER?

    Do us all a favour and blow it out your ass. I've clearly posted the difference in security holes.** All other reasons I posted are VALID reasons (try and refute them, why don't you), and encompass your "right reasons." The web is beyond what may only affect you. Just because you're a twat...

    So why is FIREFOX better than EXPLORER?

    Twatever. People who say this are people who don't do web development and/or don't have any real clue about function of the Internet. Firefox isn't the only browser that thinks standards are important, and utilises them appropriately. Konqueror, Safari, Opera, Mozilla Seamonkey, Netscape --...

    Upgrade my BIOS (for $60) or buy a new motherboard?

    This article describes the Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) 48-bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA) support for ATA Packet Interface (ATAPI) disk drives that can increase the capacity of your hard disk to more than the current 137 gigabyte (GB) limit. Note Windows XP does not support...
