If you live your life in fear, you will have lived no life at all. Living is risk. The odds of you being killed by a drunk driver and massively higher than being murdered by a serial killer you met online. Do you stop driving, walking across the street, or going

[quote]So? Are you going to blame the medium for this, or realize that people meet up all the time, in a thousand different ways, and a few wind up killing and being killed, unfortunately. For anyone to place any blame on a social networking site for either issue (unfortunate victim or psychotic murderer) would be incredibly ignorant, IMHO.[/quote] Actually the guy killed was identified just because of his profile up there, although they provide ma

[quote]Sorry, amitsaran. I wasn't being very clear. M$ puts out stuff when it should still be in the beta stage. The bugs for IE8 probably won't be worked out for some time. That's what I meant. Anyone going for anything new from M$ is essentially beta testing it until they can come up with a service pack to fix what should have worked in the first place.[/quote] Well, you are quite rite, even I wrote in my previous post that I rolled back from IE8 to

[quote]Probably is a good idea to install IE8, since it update the absolute garbage that is IE. but it will be a mad idea to use it, since in no time your computer will be full of virus.[/quote] IE8 has added some significant security features. It has strong protection against certain kinds of attacks that involve masking Web address, as well as an improved ability to block what are called Cross-Site Scripting attacks.

Features which I dont' like about IE 8 - Web Slices- lets site operators designate areas and information on their pages that can be saved and viewed without actually going to the site. However, site owners have to take the initiative to do this, and so far not many have. Visual Searches- If you use the search field in the top right of the browser window, results cascade as you type that include summaries and images. Again, the search provider has to enable this capability.
