[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="3" id="3394607"] IE9 all the way.... [/quote] It's looking more that way but if I install 9 I will lose 8. found that FF does not play well with netflix/silverlight plugin. When it loses focus the plug in can stop working. (have multiple screens open)
Chrome testing failed for my everyday use. We'll try FF now.
I'm suddenly having problems posting over on the WC site. My profile is also not being updated. This is using chrome. IE8 works just fine. I've encountered other minor "oopses" on the WC site as well. just mentioning.
ignore this, just testing
thanks for the plug Roloccolor, your's was a tough one to top.
[quote who="Island Dog" reply="17" id="3394071"]I liked nearly all yours a lot, it's a shame they all weren't eligible.[/quote] thanks Spencer, much appreciated. [quote who="doortech1" reply="19" id="3394119"]GMC, that was a compliment not an accusation,[/quote] and not taken as such. Think the excuse for the contest was to get some material uploaded, you did your part, just was mentioning that.
[quote who="doortech1" reply="13" id="3393906"]I think GMC had 200 good submissions just by himself,lol[/quote] I think I only entered 3 or 4 sets into the contest, for the most part, just stirring the pot. And, you upload quite a few yourself.
I didn't expect to win anything (the entries that did were awesome though) but submitted a fair number of uploads to help increase the numbers. I did it for the community.
congrats.
I've just started reading Heinlein's "starship troopers" probably read some time ago but still a good read. I don't get the cloud thing for data storage. flash drives and portable HDs sizes make your files portable. Sharing maybe? what?, please enlighten.

[quote who="moshi" reply="35" id="3391575"]the Eastern Bloc? is that something that ended in late eighties?[/quote] How do you describe that area of the world now a days. Regardless, you knew where I was referring, didn't you. It has more to do with the amount of cyber crime emanating from those areas and the links from those crimes to the organized Russian criminal element. We know that cyber crime happens everywhere but it seems that the amount of stories regarding this

thanks for the advice moshi, interesting that the previews are viewed as ads, that worked. I'm using "do not track me" at the moment, any major differences?
[quote who="Roloccolor" reply="28" id="3391519"]Note: This is from 20/04/2013 and is likely outdated [/quote] according to wikipedia the first recorded botnet was Bagel launched back in 2004. I'm sure there were articles around that time on how to determine if one was infected. So in that sense the article referenced from Which is a rehash of old data, but still useful advice.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="25" id="3391428"]What is so hard about understanding that?[/quote] thanks Doc, both of the articles appear to be dated, I see the second with a 2013 date in the link but the code indicates it was originally written in 2008 as well. These are issues that I thought were presented and fixed. IE8 is still supported. I just had a recent update. Not sure if this has a bearing what so ever but, I believe IE8 is written into the OS (win7) code as opp
using chrome at the moment with "ad blocker" and "do not track me". ads do seem disabled. still seeing embedded video content and don't see any controls to disable these videos appears to lack any first, third or session cookie controls.

Just mentioning, I know which browser I'm using and am aware that there are other browsers available. I don't need a nag screen to remind me. I have tested other browsers, I just haven't found a better one that suits my browser preferences. Until I do. or everyone decides not to support IE8, I'll stick with IE8. (remember IE7) I mean all I'm asking for is a method to disable ALL <st

I find IE8 very dependable using user controls. Unfortunatley, the companies are forcing us users to upgrade regardless of our preferences. I'll hold on as long as I can.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="1" id="3391295"]Maybe you should update from ie8? Or use a different browser?[/quote] yea, yea, standard answer but here's the thing, I use IE8 because it does not support html5 and I can disable flash. I really hate being notified that I have won some prize with the flashing red/yellow banner/fonts. I keep searching on how to disable html5 video but alas... Does anyone know how to disable the video portion of html5???
I've starting getting this pop-up in the forums. If you are responsible, please stop. The best possible experience is defined by the user, not someone else.
Just mentioning that this has been entertaining and educational. DaveBax has been very helpful for me to get the correct placement since I don't have Win8. Good opportunity to work on techniques as well. Lots of nice stuff being uploaded, congrats to all. I guess one could wonder if the community response to a request for material would have been met with the same vigor without the contest. I probably would have, it's been a hoot.
