    Eh? It's still there.

    It's midnight and I'm drinking Zero. I work tomorrow, so it's a bad idea, but it's at perfect drinking temperature and goes down like heavenly nectar... :yum: :yum: :yum: :yum:

    It looked like one of those little boxes with a red cross in. Must have been computer funkiness, it's back to normal this morning :)

    Gnarfflinger: Ever tried using a real browser?

    Almost anything is better than IE. Links, Mozilla, Netscape, Firefox, Opera... I'd rather use IE than Maxthon, Dillo or Lynx, but that's about it.

    We all get this on occasion. If pressing [F5] (refresh the webpage) doesn't fix the problem, then try right clicking in the box where the picture *shold be* and select "show picture". :D

    I hate my math class. :bad: :rolling:

    @DarkStrider: Enjoy your spyware. And repair costs.

    IE is full of security holes, and honestly, compared to Opera or Firefox, it's features are significantly lacking as well...

    ... now if Opera only had a better cookie manager...

    Good to see you Dal, I haven't chatted with any drunk guys in quite a while.

    I too have never had any problems with IE, but I do sometimes use Netscape.

    Just out of curiosity, what extra features does Firefox have? I am always open to new things.

    @Taza those holes are plugged by my anti-spyware, firewalls etc which is why you get those, I have no Spyware or such on my machine

    As for features "here's the site" what more do I need?

    @DarkStrider: Well, if you got a commercial constantly-running anti-spyware shield, then you're relatively safe.

    And Tabbed Browsing is the best thing since sliced bread. <3

    There's the big, red fox for starters. :p

    I can't believe I'm going in for this blockade of Dendrite in a couple hours. *sigh* Maybe I'll get lucky and get another injury! :bigeyes:

    I've now killed 26 wasps in 3 days. Perhaps its time to call pest control...

    Did I mention I was collecting the corpses in a jar? :evil:

    Opera is great. Hell, Opera Mini's the browser I use on my Samsung T809.

    Firefox is pretty damn good too. IE isn't hard to beat.

    I prefer Firefox over Opera on Windows/Linux.

    But when it comes to series 40, Opera Mini is just *great*.

    (I was one of the testers in the northern europe beta. Worked great back then too.)

    Glad to hear that you are branching out in your musical tastes from just listening to obscuro-metal all the time.
