Well, I figure, it's worth a try :) I can always remove it if I don't like it.

Yep. Chrome is great :)

Re: The Browser War

Eye One Fifty — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 21:56:40 -0000

Like I said before, I use Chrome for one type of work and Firefox for another. I like them both, but I have to say that Chrome is faster on the same token, I have a lot of add-ons enabled for firefox. It is a toss up indeed!

Thank you for your comment and complement :)

Re: Top Web Hosts for 2009

Eye One Fifty — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 13:08:17 -0000

It looks good to me... There are a lot of similar hosting services out there.

I chose HostPapa because it is less money 4.95/mo. and you get the domain name free for life.

POWWEB is good for short term commitment, 1yr for only 3.88/mo. and Roguedeals is doing a POWWEB promo of an additional 50% off here:

The point of the promotion is really to help people get off of free sites like blogger.com or wordpress.com. I think if they see how much better owning your own domain is, I think they will want to keep it that way.

Thanks for the comments!

I fail to think microsoft is able to do anything right other than copying firefox. Ill download it and check it out. One things for sure they still design ugly interfaces.

I thought so too :) thanks for the comment... It's always appreciated.

Re: Reconsidering Gangster Rap

Eye One Fifty — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 08:14:38 -0000

In a world of extremes, there are often times the middle men remain unheard over such dissonance in their own culture. We have to learn how to make rational and thoroughly introspected thoughts come to the forefront of our communities, affirming that there are more things than just corruption, cop-outs, and imperfection... there is a willingness to change, and enough intellect to know that we have to.

But much like other controversial topics, they are not listening, because they aren't rational. And that is the sad truth. Oppression is real, Ignorance real. Where can we look in the face of such odds?

I think the self-aware will find their own way, but how do we then bring the others with us? Or would that come off as self-righteous in the end anyway?

Admitting wrongness is something that we need to see more of. It helps build new perspectives and new ways of thinking, new opinions. No doubt.

Re: IronKey vs. SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise

It has been proven that a simple lock down is NEVER enough to stop hackers. Given enough time, if the data remains, brute force attacks and other methods, like function manipulation via debugger will eventually prevail. IronKey ensures that this will not happen unless the hacker can manage to do it under 10 tries. It is a fact that under such a high level of encryption, breaking in under 10 attempts is nearly impossible. I'd trust my data with IronKey.

Good follow up Matt.

This may be a stupid question, but is there any sort of warranty or protection plan with them via Coach or through the store?

I don't think people realize the affect surround sound has until they experience it for themselves... very cool, indeed.

Depends on many things Robin. I'd be happy to try and help you out. How old is the desktop? What's the processor speed, how much memory (ram) is in it and how much free disk space do you have? Secondly, how many programs do you have loaded on it? Do you have anti-virus or spy-ware protection? What exactly is slow about it? When you try to open something?

Basic maintenance can keep your computer going for a lot longer. Try cleaning up temporary files, defragging the disk space, and uninstalling unused programs.

Vista makes every computer even slower, so going with Vista isn't helping your PC if it's not up for the task.

Let me know how all those questions go :)

I believe its open, but they aren't really doing a good job of advertising it! I only found it because I cleared my cookies on my browser and actually saw the home page on MyBlogLog (usually just auto-logs me in)

Here's the link in case you missed it in the post:

Re: 5 Great Instant Messenger Aggregators Across Multiple Platforms

I'd like to see Skype added in the future too... that's the only thing Digsby is missing.

As for performance, Digsby may be a 'hog' but I haven't noticed it... and its running on my laptop which is a non-gamer standard one, so I don't understand the fuss about cpu and such. My laptop is usually the first computer to notice a performance hog.

I never said you won't or cannot get caught... the wording I used was 'work around'... and yes it will 'work around' the firewall, but that doesn't mean it's bullet proof either!

Maybe I should have been more clear about that point... in any case. Thanks for the comment!

I agree that wifi is becoming more and more important as we move closer to a truly unified network. At the same time, I'd rather wait for a quality feature that works reliably and consistently than to be disappointed.

Thanks for the great comment and I am jealous that you saw him live! Dave Weckl is a godsend on the drums. I appreciate the Digg and stumble, I've been working hard trying to improve the site and the feedback you gave really solidifies my efforts!

Jojo Mayer, I know him too... I play drums, actually, so I constantly find things to practice on drummerworld.com, he has a lot of crazy techniques that will take me a long time to master.

The page doesn't allow you to download the files from outside the US? That is a shame if that is the case, there are a ton of great singles to be had :) Thanks for the post!

My wife watches What Not to Wear and consequently, I watch with her (I'm a good husband what can I say) but that show definitely helps show what not to do and what works. This article reminded me of that, so I know its probably right!

I actually liked this movie despite it lacking any deeper meaning. It was a good laugh and not too serious. I'd give it a 3/5. Not to mention Butler can do no wrong in my eyes.
