Seems more than just me here reads Slashdot.

Yes, the Noscript extension would work.
Disabling all JavaScript would work too.
Though, a huge amount of websites use JavaScript, many don't need it, but have it anyways for advertisement and stuff.
I am not too worried though, I feel pretty safe with Firefox.

i cancelled my pre-order, i cannot be more *beep* to wait that long. i bought myself the xbox 360 at a really cheap price $639, one controller, with a free game. some crap golf game. i bought 3 new games. its gears of war, Perfect Dark Zero and DOA 4.
$639 is a really cheap price?
I think that is very very expensive, and games are very expensive for it too.

If you keep on using Windows for a while, it will eventually restore to how it was (until next time you run CCleaner).
Maybe you had "Menu order cache" in "Advanced" checked in CCleaner?

Maxthon has to be pretty useless. It is Internet Explorer with a couple of new features. But in the end its still Internet Explorer, and most likely suffers from all the same security weaknesses. While Maxthon might be convenient than IE, it's still the same crap under the hood, and insecure. Still not following web-standards.

Who has a solution for this problem?
What does NOT help:
- checking/unchecking options in ccleaner
- reinstalling norton.
Hint: the solution has to be related to something that is changed in the most recent version(s) of ccleaner, because everything was working perfectly before...
How about uninstalling Norton and never installing it again?
Norton brings more trouble than it's worth.

Isn't the NVIDIA 7950 GX2 sort of like that...I mean it's like SLI on a single card. It's close, not exact, but still it's something.
I'm planning on building a Core 2 Duo system using the E6600, cause of it's overclockablity.
Wikipedia - Intel Core 2 Informatino Geez--how do people have this much info already? Insiders?
AJ
That is not much information. And it is contributed by many people. Alot of who are geeks.
There are software like CPUID or CPU-Z and stuff that tells you alot about your system and CPU such as L1, L2 cache size, architecture, revision, FSB, frequency, family, stepping, etc, etc.
C2D and C2E have been out for at least a month already
AMD is actually working on a chip where there are multiple cores combined to function as one super-fast core.
I heard something about multiple cores working as one fast core, it was a rumour about something called "anti-hypterthreading" but it was just a rumour. Don't know which CPU it was for, but I assume Intel.

ZOMG Eldmannen! Sonic the Hedgehog? Raptor? Methinks you are a man after mine own heart... those games kicked ass!
Sonic is a classic.
Raptor, I played that game all the time, it was my favourite game, I was obsessed with it. I won the "Bravo Sector" so many many times.
I even dreamed about Raptor. LOL!
About Tomb Raider, that new Tomb Raider: Legends game on Xbox360 seems cool, I want to play it, I just seen it a minute in a store, it seemed cool. She had a nice house with computers, way cool!
Also, my sis like alot Tomb Raider.

A little bit of paranoia never hurt anyone.
Some people have reported loosing stuff using CCleaner, I don't know if its because they have some malware that CCleaner breaks that make their system sucks or that they store all their important stuff in the temp folder. I never had any problems myself with CCleaner though.
You should make a System Restore point. It is also a good idea to make a backup of your important data.

Hello
I just discovered a site called Jamendo. Apparently it has free music under the Creative Commons license that are free for people to download, enjoy and listen.
I wonder if there are any pearls there. It seems interesting.
It seems kind of big, I am bit surprised I haven't heard about it before.
-
I use ClamWin too.

I only liked the first Grand Theft Auto game. It was fun to get chased by the police, and drive over them and stuff.
Didn't like the other GTA games...
-
I don't like airplanes.
My ear hurts when I flew before, and its boring fly, and uncomfortable.
And if you play Bomberman on your Gameboy Advanced, you risk getting probed.
-
Engineers get bored too, you know.
Easter egg.

It does! She's lucky the car wasn't owned by someone in the RIAA, because she'd be the owner of the car or sued into owning it.
And if she died, her children would be forced to pay for it.

Wow, OS/2 was around for that long? Interesting.
Yep, I remember SCSI and hated it! MCA, Micro Channel Architecture. It was mainly used in IBM PS/2 machines in the early 90s.
Single inline memory Module. It's mostly used in old printers. First computer was a 286 w/o math co. My 286 had a slot for sip memory 4mb.
Well, might not been developed with new stuff for so long, maybe just some minor stuff like bugfixes and patches. Like y2k bug fix, because else the people who used OS/2 would be like oh y2k y2k y2k, it was all what people talked about back then.
Nobody used it at home, but some companies which had stuff that only worked on it, was stuck with it, I guess.
SCSI are expensive disks, I got it for free, they are server disks, but they are good performance. I had 1 gb SCSI disk on my 386, it was awesome.
Really big space.

I don't know.
Sonic the hedgehog, Super Mario, Yoshi's Island are pretty cool games.
I remember first time I saw Quake, I was completely blown away, I dropped my jaw!
It was like nothing I ever seen before, it had true 3D.
Duke Nukem was cool back in the days, he had style.
Shadow Warrior was fun though, funny personality.
Raptor: Call of the Shadows used to be my absolute favourite game back in the days, I loved it!
I liked old adventure games too like Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and Simon the sorcerer 1 & 2. Guilty, Sam & Max: Hit the road, etc.
Half-Life was good too.
While Doom 3 wasn't the best game, I liked the UAC story and the geeky PDA's.

I'm still alive, just not on the web as much as I used to be. My rig has a dual-core proc, which is really neat for when I'm ripping music and watching a movie, or extracting a large compressed file and playing a video game (I ran my computer through a few torture tests just to see what it could do). In my opinion, multiple processing cores are definitely a major innovation, and I personally will be keeping my eyes peeled for mobos that support quad-cores (its sad, but I'm already drooling over updates I could make to my new computer; guess I'm hard to please
).A little off topic, but I'm hoping that GPU manufacturers (namely ATI and NVIDIA) will start working on multi-core GPUs, as opposed to simply have multiple video cards. I never liked the idea of SLI / CrossFire, because the cards take up so much space, suck up so much power, and give off so much heat (to say nothing of cost). Having one video card with several GPU cores on it seems like a much smarter graphics solution; oh well, I can dream...
It is natural for geeks to drool over new hardware.
I agree with you. 3dfx had in around year 2000 their Voodoo5 series with VSA-100 chips, and it 2 chips. And the prototype of the Voodoo5 6000 had 4 chips.
I would never ever run SLI / CrossFire. Too much cost, heat, power consumption, noise, etc. I would preferably get a graphics card without active cooling (fan). Less noise and just one less thing that can break and go wrong.

It should!

Yes, X (X Window System) is what provides the graphics interface. It is used by (pretty much) all Linux distributions that have an graphical user interface. It is also used on BSD. Mac OS X use Apple built Quartz, but also offer some kind of X implementation.
You might want to try Linux again some later time, in a year maybe after some new versions have come, or maybe in the near future a different distribution on a different computer.
Or try it as server, router or firewall instead of a desktop computer.

I ran Telegard, Renegade, PCboard, even messed around with WildCat! The main file for OS/2 was the Config.os2, if memory serves me correctly. I used OS/2 til 96.
As for the $$$, I was living at home at the time and so I had NO BILLS, but my phone. I worked and still had money left over to do other things. I only ran the bbs on 4 lines for about a year, til I move to Atlanta.
Well, in NYC you can get anything you want as long as you have the $$$. It was New York Telephone at the time, then NYNEX, Bell Atlantic and finally Verizon.
I miss those days it was alot different. There wasn't really a World Wide Web. Computer hardware was fun, jumpers, dip switches, terminators, sip memory, MCA. I can go on...
You really had to earn you A+ back then. Actually, they didn't even have A+ back then.You're old school!
According to Wikipedia, the latest release of OS/2 Warp was version 4.52 in December, 2001. o.o
Still plenty of money.
Yeah, I remember using DIP switches to overclock my Intel Pentium 150 to 166 MHz.
I remember using jumpers on my old SCSI disks to define the LUN id.
And using terminators on the last SCSI disk in the chain.
MCA the bus? I am not too familiar with that one. Earliest computer I had was a 386SX think it was around 16 MHz and 8 mb RAM or something like that.
SIP memory?

Thanks for letting me know, unfortuantelly, I'm not that good to repair all of those errors. Most of those came from the theme that I use. Right now, I'm in no way of switching to another one. However, if you have any ideas let me know.
You can look if there is an updated theme. If not you can try contact the author and explain to him the flaws of his theme. You might also be able to fix it yourself by editing the theme. If you look for a theme, you might look for it to be valid.

Xbox 360 is out today. Playstation 3 is not. PS3 is delayed and even more delayed.
PS3 is very expensive and cost much more than an Xbox 360.
Xbox 360 uses the x86 architecture, probably it makes it easy to port games between a PC and Xbox 360. Maybe there will be more games for 360?
PS3 uses the Cell architecture which seems promising in terms of performance.
Both HD-DVD and Blu-ray has copy protection, hence sucks!
Maybe Nintendo Wii turns out to be the most interesting?
SEGA has given up?

Well, before Mac and PC used to be very different.
They used to be different architectures.
PC running on x86, and Mac running on PowerPC (PPC).
PC running AMD/Intel and having MMX. While Mac running Motoral or IBM with Altivec.
But now, Mac and PC are basically the same thing, both are running on the x86 architecture nowdays. So basically Mac have left its Mac roots and become a x86 PC.
Mac are said to be overpriced, and they might very well be, I read something a while ago, that it was actually as cheap as any other PC. But they could be very well be overpriced, Mac is a bit of niche.
With a Mac, you get a cool looking computer case in brushed metal. You can also run Mac OS X which seems to be a pretty decent operating system.
Mac seems to have some smart features and been well thought-out. Or atleast thats what their marketing believe you think.

K-Meleon?

I have tried this browser out a little. It is pretty customizable.
Yes, it should be able to clean it.
