Reply to My boss just raised his hands to my face... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

JTB, listen to Chas, let it go and get out! This job almost killed you before and now you're being physically intimidated by your bosses, what job is worth that? I understand wanting to fight, but first you have to take care of yourself. Sometimes you just have to remove yourself from a situation. Get yourself some peace and get out! You'll thank yourself later. [ and Chas, of course ]

Revisiting the browser wars in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

You can easily import all your IE Favorites r

Reply to NE1 looked into skinning firefox or thunderbird? (mozilla) in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

If you prefer IE then more power to you. You should use whatever works best for you. IE has been shown to have a lot of security flaws. If you haven't run across any of the malaware out there then you're luckier than a lot of others. Even if Mozilla/Firefox didn't have better security a lot of people would prefer it for the better features. And if you've used Ebay then you've had to put some financial info out there, and stealthing and blocking ports doesn't block hijackers or some of th

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A6746-2004Jun25.html Scroll to bottom paragraph and you'll see CERT recommending people switch to non-IE browsers that are less vulnerable to hijacking, etc... I really like Opera's speed and tab features, though I've been using Firefox 0.9 lately. I have had no trouble with this or most any other site[ with Firefox]. Sometimes I have trouble DLing from WC in Opera, for some reason instead of DLing it launches Winamp. I also like
