Re: Firefox 3.1 May be Delayed?

Brian — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 22:22:08 -0000

3.1 Beta 3 will be released by March 12th.

However after that, 3.1 is being renumbered to 3.5 and 3.5 Beta 4 will be out in April and then the final 3.5 release will be in Q2 2009.

Enjoy!

Seen this 32984713046712834234 times before MakeUseOf finally decided to post it. Just like everything else. :)

Just because you got all 6 right off the bat doesn't mean you're a genius. Just means you pay attention to detail. :)

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests is hardcoded at 8. Setting it above 8 won't do anything, which is a good thing. Server administrators don't like users that pound the hell out of their servers with mass amounts of connections. Doesn't do anyone any good.

Re: Student on a strict budget? Meet the $400 gaming computer!

You're information is wrong. I have a GeForce 8800GT and it's power 2x 24" monitors at 1920x1200 each and I regularly play games @ 1920x1200 with no problems. In fact, I believe the 8800 GT is powerful enough to run 2x 30" monitors at full resolution as well. =)

Re: Check out this picture - 1 Gb of memory 20 years ago!

It's a hard drive. It's not memory. There is a big difference.

I don't care how much they are paying, I'm not going to annoy my visitors. =)

Re: Transition from DD-WRT to Tomato on Linksys Router

Brian — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 05:34:00 -0000

I know this is an old post, but you should always do a reset after you upgrade to Tomato from DD-WRT. Always.

No, I'm not using any of the VPN flavors. Just vanilla 1.23. DD-WRT info that is still in the NVRAM after you upgrade to Tomato can cause problems in some cases. That's why I suggested to always do a reset after upgrading. :)

Re: 50 Best Firefox extensions for Powerful Browsing

Brian — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 00:13:46 -0000

You should only link to extensions that are on addons.mozilla.org to ensure people are getting safe extensions. Not only that, addons.mozilla.org will tell you if an extension will work with the current browser you're using, and I'm sure at least 90% of these don't work with the version I'm using. :)

Re: Reduce Firefox Memory Consumption Tremendously With Firefox Ultimate Optimizer

You don't need something like this with Firefox 3. Memory usage is lower then IE7, FF2 and Opera 9.

Re: Hack Attack : Get Windows XP SP3 Through Windows Update

Brian — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 15:06:35 -0000

@ Kevin:

Most of those have already been released and you probably already have them installed. What's the point in getting this any earlier? It's a beta. It means it can kill your system dead.

Does absolutely nothing here.

Re: xBox 360 number 5 will be gone soon

Brian — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 18:25:27 -0000

I'm currently on my 5th Xbox 360 as well. I finally got one with a 2008 manufacture date so I don't think I'll have anymore problems with it, but we'll see.

How is a bikini not safe for children? Are there not children at the beach? Or the swimming pool? I hardly think seeing a woman in a bikini is going to scar your children. :)

Re: Disable Windows 7 SuperFetch

Brian — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:12:12 -0000

Disabling superfetch is a sure way to 1) slow down the Windows 7 startup time and 2) slow down the overall Windows 7 experience.

I have 8GB of DDR2 installed w/ Windows 7 Pro x64 and I leave memory management and such to Windows 7. It does a fine job on it's own. :)

NOD32 won't let me download this. Says it's a trojan variant.
