Reply to Crysis 2 in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

I downloaded it from Steam, gave it a try and although it looks great and sounds awesome, I just didn't like the game play. More confusing that Call Of Duty, waaaay to many features which makes them hard to learn and even harder to execute not to mention they are already confusing to use. The game reminds me a lot of Bad Company 2 which I didn't like either because it felt, well, like a console game which was meant to be played with a controller not a keyboard. Not my cup of tea. I'll

My favorite part was "US backed EU enforced", had it been the other way around he would have said US led EU backed making us, as usual, the main bad guys. I love how Bahu always puts the US and the main villain on this planet.

[quote]I group my tabs by theme, so at times I will have 2 or 3 windows open each with multiple tabs. If I go to close one of the windows it does not give me the option of saving the tabs (IE does). It is only when the last window is closed do I get the option.[/quote] Interesting, I don't know if you use Firefox 3 or 4 but in 3 I can have Firefox ask me if I want to save the current tabs before closing. This was removed from Firefox 4, to be honest I didn't quite understand the rea

I believe we can except my biggest fear would be this Gov't would simply take advantage of the "crisis" to make themselves even bigger. Ain't nothing like a terrible crisis to get them politicians to whip up a nice bill that would attempt to protect us by taking more freedoms away from us.

Reply to What do you think of Internet Explorer 9? in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

Wish I could say, I was downloading it thru IE8 and got stuck at 20%, after about 15 minutes I canceled the download. 5 minutes later it gave me the msg IE9 failed to download. If it took this long just to tell me it failed to download I don't want to imagine how slow it might really be or how terrible it is at noticing problems. No thanks. I'll stick to Firefox for now while keeping an eye on Chrome, just in case.

Reply to Browser Wars in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

I have never used Opera, just don't hear enough "it's my browser of choice" comments to make me even want to install it. I have tried Safari just out of curiosity but don't know if it's because I am not a mac person of because it's nothing like Firefox but I don't like it. I have IE because, like you, when all others fail IE usually comes thru. But I hardly use it except at work where my portable Firefox abilities are somewhat limited due to restrictions at my job. Firefox has been my

I'm sure someone here can give a good alternative.

Reply to Why the IE9 ‘Upgrade’ Disappoints in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

Funny, I tried downloading the 64bit version yesterday, was stuck on about 20% for about 5 minutes. I canceled the download and about 5 minutes later a warning came up that IE9 did not download properly. Even the warnings are slow to respond. LOL. Thanks for the heads up, won't even bother giving it a try now. Am already considering switching to Chrome. Once I can get it to feel more comfortable, how I feel with FF, then I should be able to switch over.

[quote]This has been all over the news. It had so much hope that Libya's government would be overthrown and that psychotic clown of a dictator Qaddafi would finally be thrown out. Now it seems like the rebels are going to fail. They've been pleading for Western Intervention but Obama is basically fiddling while Libya burns. If Benghazi, the rebel capital falls, Qaddafi will be free to butcher every single person who opposes him. Why do we always wait until its too late?[/quote] Funny,

Reply to Socialism and the Wisconsin Protestors in Politics Stardock Forums

For teachers, they sure have a weird understanding of the definition of the words revolution, dictatorship and equality. How exactly does the Middle East revolutions equate to the Wisconsin protest is beyond me. I'm glad the number of idiots like this are small for now. I seriously doubt people will be backing them up in droves knowing how they have insulted those who would have backed them up, the parents of their students. I remember back in the days when teachers actually cared about their

I could use some help here from the wonderful “coding pigeons” (having seen that screen in long time now that I think about it) of Joeuser, or answers if possible. I’ve been posting on JU for many years now and have always noticed these “problems” but never bothered to ask till now.

LOL, my favorite part was the solution to all these problems. Less school and more time at home with the parents, you know, the same one's who both have to work in order to afford all the Gov't BS we have to pay for. There's this Spanish 80's song that says (roughly translated) "The cure is worse than the disease", kinda funny how much that part of the song makes so much more sense after watching this video.

Reply to What’s the Difference Between a “Right” and a “Privilege”? in Politics Stardock Forums

My concept of "rights" is something that should apply to "everyone" not just a select group of people. I am curious why I don't get the same benefits Gov't employees do yet I have to pay for it? Where are "my rights" when it comes to these "collective bargainings"? I am truly impressed how selfish our society has become when they fight for rights for specific groups of peoples but don't do the same for the entire population.

I never watched the show, not my cup of tea but i can't deny I loved several of his movies such as both Hot Shots, Major League and Disney The Three Musketeers. He was very funny in all of them.

The guys a nut case plain and simply. His fame has risen so high in him he truly believes he is above everyone. Heck, he had to do, as per the most recent video, his latest machete thing from a high up position. Talk about a guy who truly believes he's at the top.
