Florida's version of a white christmas...
Thats my idea of a white Christmas. Snow is for Eskimos.

I won't be updating this time.The update has nothing but so called bug fixes and adds nothing new. Since I don't have any bugs with IE7 Pro I will skip this update. I don't update apps simply because an update exists. Everything you update there is a risk of a screw up and I see no need to take the risk when the current version works fine and the new version offers nothing of value to me. Security updates are a different thing though.

they are pretty good for different things. i have one that when i buy gasoline with it i get 15 cents a litre off which is a super bonus.
Each one is like a hole in your defenses. More ways to for criminals to get in. Imagine if you lost your wallet. You would have to call and cancel all those cards pretty quick. I make one phone call and cancel one card.

I wish Opera 10 to have a built-in manager that manages javascript, java, flash, and other plugins just like the Noscript for Mozilla based browsers. If Opera has those features...i won't ever touch other browsers. Btw, one thing really bothers me is that widgets, bookmarklets, the user javascript feature, and some buttons required Javascript to run. Imagine if there's risk of getting a javascript trojan(or something like that) somewhere on the website (or advertisment) you're on and you're a person who always turn off javascript but you want to use one of the features that required javascript to run. What would you do...would you take the risk of exposing yourself to unknown danger just to use those features? (there's no guarantee the website you went to are completely safe, 89% of the consumer are infected with malware through the internet)
Are you familiar with Opera's site preferences feature. You can control most of the things you mentioned on a per site basis. For example disable user java script globally and have it run only on sites you want by activating it in site preferences.
Run any browser sand boxed if you are that worried. Or be like YoKenney and run the safest browser known to man IE

I use this for free. http://quick.mixnmojo.com/usb-disk-ejector

I have one and it makes it easy to keep track of everything since I only pay the one bill. I have never paid a cent of interest either.

UM look at my previous post in this thread.

i have a separate card just for online purchases. it has a small limit set so that if i do get scammed i am not out too much money. as well, i have a PO box for all my mail so they don't even have my home address.....and i never give out my home number (blocked and restricted) just a prepaid cell that i use for emergencies that doesn't have any of my personal information attached to it....
The separate credit card is a good idea. Keep the limit low and watch the account like a hawk for any unauthorized activity.
Identity left and fraud are a real problem now.
Ever try to return an item to a store here in Canada. They ask for name, number,address etc in full ears hot of the people in line behind you. If you refuse they won't return your money. It's ridiculous. I have lost count how many arguments I have had over this. Canadian Tire is the worst. They won't even start the process with out a phone number. All you should need is a bill and the item you are returning. Anyways knowing the BS I will have to go through I simply give fake names and address just so I can return my purchase without giving these clowns all my personal info. I am under no legal obligation to give them any info about me. The names and numbers I give are totally made up so you aren't using somebody else's identity.

I use Paypal and have for a long time without any problems I do not like giving Credit Card information out online or over the phone for that matter.
I don't give credit card info out online. I use the phone and don't like that either. Some places only except it on line and don't have a phone number to call though.
-
You can get them anywhere. You buy them at a store for about how much they come with on them. They're by credit card companies and you fill out the billing info just like you would for a normal card. Just select for example 'Visa' then enter the number and exp. date. Many of them are reloadable but I never bother. It kind of defeats the purpose.
I will look into these.

Well they kept Chrome pretty secret didn't they. There were was some speculation about weather Google would have a browser but ti was just talk and there were no leaks at all. When they released Chrome it was a big surprise because as I said no leaks any where I seen. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they are working on an OS.

You're both right guys, you're just talking about different things.
I googled "O Spell User Java Script spell checker", and came up with the $99 version, which is for web sites.
http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&...-8&oe=utf-8
I don't see it being called O Spell. It's called Java Script Spell Checker from what I seen.
Doesn't matter. The one I linked is free and works amazing in Opera. Looks like it will soon be obsolete though. The developer of O Spell posted in the official O Spell thread on the Opera forum saying as much
-
The O Spell User Java Script spell checker is Shareware costing $99.00US.
IE7Pro spell checker costs $0.00
What are you talking about? It's free and always has been. http://opera.gt500.org/ospell/

A decent spell checker, and maybe some day soon an Opera version of McAfee Site Advisor, would be great additions to an already great browser.
The inline spell checker will be nice but the O Spell User Java Script spell checker I use now is the best spell checker I have used and I have a lot of them. The inline spell checker built into Firefox is disgusting. So off on it's suggestions it's laughable. Hopefully Opera does a better job with it.
The Firefox spell checker is so bad I have started using the Jarte word processor's new spell check feature that lets you check spelling in any application you are using. Works well. It's a new feature in the latest update to Jarte.

That would convice me to install Opera on this here old PIII as my spellun sum tymz iz 'orribull
OH no you can't do that. You already use and like the greatest browser ever created IE
-
I have been reading about this lately and it looks interesting. One thing I don't get is why does it have a web browser in it?
-
May give this alpha a whirl a bit later.
It's also going to have a inline spell checking built in.

That is becoming a circus with AVG. How far these clowns have fallen. I dumped AVG when they started this BS and installed Avira AntiVir and have no complaints. AVG 8 is a bloated hog and although 7.5 is very good they are playing games with their ever changing termination date.

I can't believe Norton hasn't been exterminated yet. That company should die with GM.

Prepaid cards. Very safe.
How do they work?
-
I do not like PayPal!
Why? Bad experience?
-
What is your preferred method for paying for purchases you make on line? Do you like to use credit card or a Paypal type of plan or some other method? I don't purchase much on line but when I do I always get a phone number and phone in the order and then give the credit card number to the sales rep. Just curious what others prefer to do.

Well it looks like support for addons in Chrome is in the very near future

So is the FF plugin only available in the installer version? I used the zip version and there was just an exe. When I launched it it created a ini file for the settings. There is nothing else in the folder. I see nothing about a FF plugin.

Yes I like that! Ha ha. Good for her. She should have kicked him in the sack than drove away.
