It's a browser? Firefox is ONE OF THE BEST things to happen to the Web development and security areas of the world. Web developers got tired of the lack of support for W3C specs in IE (which constituted a new IE version that never came) and normal end-users got tired of ActiveX controls causing their computers to be infected with viruses, trojans and spyware (yes, I know it can be disabled, but it is too much work to mess with...)

Firefox has security settings tweaked to the best possible combination for the average end-user and the lack of ActiveX support further helps avoid spyware, viruses and trojans from automatically being installed on a computer. This is why I converted, and I'm only 17 (almost)! Honestly, security is more important than an abundance of options (which are too technical for the average end-user) and an abundance of buttons on a toolbar. Firefox has a built-in Google searchbar to differentiate between URLs and search queries whereas IE uses the address bar to search MSN(too many adverts, the popups - which are also taken care of by Firefox - are a turnoff) if and only if no URLs pertaining to the query are found quickly.

My final words in this post:

Love Firefox like you love your family and Firefox will keep you secure as a gift to you. Love IE like you love your family and IE will install spyware as a gift to you.

Sorry that it's Nov. 10, 2004 for you gentlemen (and ladies and children)! Where I am, it is Nov. 08, 2004 10:55PM CST (22:55 (-6:00)). Using GMT.... Nov. 09, 2004 4:55 GMT ?? Since there are 4 hours left, I'll get mine in the morning (I'm going to sleep soon). Nov. 9, 2004 1AM PST (1:00 (-8:00)) and Nov. 9, 2004 9AM GMT (9:00 (+0:00))?? I think that's right. Well, good night!

Fell for it. Damn you... :pinch:

4AM release? Goddamn. First it's HL2 with a 3AM release. Now this? Ah well. I'm going to bed at 1 and hopefully by the time I wake up, I will be able to upgrade if indeed it does come out by then. :yes:

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

      I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
