I'm not sure if it's necessary, but if it helps enough to make a noticeable difference, then I want to do it. But, has anyone done this?

FingerPrintLogin 0.5.2.7-2007-07-17 (No download or website available yet)
Get a fingerprint reader to be able to work with firefox whenever a site asks for a password.
This is one of my own extensions that i'm still developing, but i will NEVER release my work before it hase reached a stable state to prevent a lot of complaints asking why it wont work here and there bla bla bla. Whenever a site needs a password that is stored in the database, it will automatically popup a window asking to input a finger to login to the site. When a site askes for a password which hasn't been stored in the database (all specially encrypted), the user must place any recognised finger into the reader and a window pops up asking for the username and password. when the username and password for the new site is noted, it then immediately asks for a finger to be able to login to the site. it does this to check if every thing went correct
And....how does that work?

Power outage.
I feel so stupid. Every time I post here with a problem, it's resolved in, at the most, a day.
I figured out it was a power outage because we have a Carbon Monoxide monitor in the living room, and it always beeps when the power goes out, and, it beeped both times my computer restarted earlier(along with some other signs from other things). -
Well, there is a Halo 1 demo for download, over on Microsoft's site. That's what I play everyday
But, I know some people that play Call Of Duty 2, FEAR, Counter-Strike: Source, and Battlefield 2142, all for PC. I'm not sure if they have demos though.Maybe you don't have the sensors, or it's not accessing your chips. That's as far as I'll go as I'm about to enter the unknown (ie don't know what I'm talking about).Yeah, I don't know that much about hardware, so I always ask before venturing into the unknown and mess something up.
-
I tried installing MotherBoard Monitor, but it asked a lot of questions and things I wasn't sure about doing(something with disappearing icons). I re-installed Speedfan, and it still only detected the hard drive. It had a little pop-up in the system tray that said "Sensors Detected: HD 80.0GB".
Oh, and I played Halo again, and nothing happened. So maybe it was one of those memory dumps or something? My computer is under warranty until 08, so I might call and get the power supply replaced and keep the old one if it's still good.
-
You guys remember how I sometimes get a beep while playing Halo? Well, it started up again the other day, and today I was playing....then all of a sudden my computer restarted itself. It started up fine, everything seems normal. But, I'm curious as to why it restarted? I Googled a little bit, and some people say it could be power supply failure(like you guys said before) or overheating CPU, or nothing at all.
Does anyone know any good temperature monitoring software? I downloaded Speedfan, but it only detected my hard drive, and that was at 37C I think.
-
I've had this a couple of times - usually when I try to hibernate .... it winges about having not enough resources (which is rubbish) and a little exclamation mark (if I remember correctly) in the task bar. (I can then only Standby - if I am lucky)
I have nothing else running .... bit bizarre.
B.
Yeah, but I never got anything. I pressed Restart or Shutdown, and all that happened was my icons "flicked". No little exclamation point, pop-ups or warnings.
But, it hasn't happened again since then.

Try the mediawrap plugin: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1879
And here is a site to test the myspace player
Thanks. It works fine.
It works on the test site, and on Myspace. -
Just had a look and it looks like its an activeX issue - the Myspace player is an activeX control in IE and Firefox doesn't allow any activeX controls as they can be a security risk (the 'Comments' and 'Rate' links don't work either do they). If Myspace was any good they would have found a way to make the site work normally in Firefox but they obviously haven't.
Oh okay. I guess I'll contact them about it and see what their plans are, because I know I'm not the only Firefox user on Myspace
-
Can you give us a link to an example page (don't use Myspace so not sure what you mean)
Well, the only site I really have that type of problem is on Myspace. Whenever I go to a band's profile, and try to view their lyrics, nothing happens.
-
Make sure your using the one of the filter subscriptions too, then you should see virtually no ads anywhere (Easylist is the only one I'd recommend) and with AdBlock Plus they automatically update so you set and forget
Thanks. I got Easylist and EasyElement. Do you know what is causing the lyrics on Myspace music player to not show up? I disabled both pop-ups and ad-blocking from Norton(when I had it), and the pop-up blocker in Firefox, but nothing still didn't come up.
-
Well theres your problem, you wanna use a filter list or you'll never get on top of the ads. If your using the original Adblock use FiltersetG:
http://www.pierceive.com/filtersetg/ (Read the instructions for how to add them to Adblock)
If your using Adblock Plus (which you really should be now as Adblock hasn't been updated for a long time and Plus is better in several areas) there are filter subsriptions here:
http://adblockplus.org/en/subscriptions (I use Easylist and Easy Element)
Thanks, I'm now using AdBlock Plus. It works a lot better
-
Um, that would be AdBlock wouldn't it? What filter list are you using?
I just right click on the ads and do "adblock image" and "adblock iframe". But, for Flash ads, it just gives me the options for the Flash player.
-
Bookmarked. Nice job.
-
I'm using:
McAfee Site Advisor
Ad-Block
Woo go me, I'm using so many!!!!!
I'm trying to find one that blocks all those Flash ads.
-
Yeah, it's probably like trying to open Firefox when it just exited from some error and hasn't fully closed.
I'll update later tonight when I try to turn off my computer.
-
Earlier, I pressed restart and shutdown and neither of them worked. I pressed them at least 10 times, and even let the background turn grayscale(not sure if it helps, but did it anyway).
I think it has something to do AVG, since it happened before after I closed AVG Ant-Spyware. This time, I closed AVG-Anti virus and couldn't get any buttons to work.
The buttons actually had their little "animation" and it showed them being pushed in, but nothing happened.
Everything else worked fine, but I hadn't tried Standby.
-
I don't think the Statue of Liberty or Eiffel Tower should have been finalists, or even in the "competition". They are so....normal to everyday life that they aren't really "wonders". People may be in awe when they are up close to it, but it's not really anything special anymore.
Anyone else agree?
The only thing that I know that happened on 7/7/07 is all the big sales.

I got a Belkin Wireless router(G band) and a Belkin Wireless USB Adapter. I have had my adapter for plugged in for all of 2 days maybe, and it pretty much works when it wants to. First off, it doesn't even work in the desktop stand that it came with(somehow, the USB stick doesn't connect all of the way). And, every time you change USB slots, you constantly have to install/ find the drivers for the adapter, and sometimes it's not even recognized, even when you load the drivers from the disk. On top of all of that, the connection is gets is horrible, and unstable. I have pulled the power from the router and DSL modem, and restarted my computer, and it still didn't connect. I was lucky enough to get it connect(I must say that I didn't do anything. I turned off my computer and came back later to try again and it connected without problems). But, right now, the adapter is setting on the top of my desk beside my monitor, and it keeps changing speed. It was setting on my tower and I had 2 MBits/s!!!!!!! Then, 5.5MBits, 11 MBits, then back to the normal section of 24-54MB. Now, it is 18MBits/s.
Has anyone had this problem?
It is getting really annoying. I don't recommend the adapter to anyone. I'm probably gonna get a card soon if this adapter doesn't work properly. I have also Googled a bit and on one forum, a guy contacted Belkin and they told him to "deal with it himself".

Yay i managed to complete the little easter egg game, now i need to find out how to gain back the time i wasted on it
Nerd.

I only got about half way.

Thanks guys for some more options.
Fireryone, I'm using the Zune theme now. So far, I'm liking it. I can still see my options in Photoshop, but I'm waiting for someone to message me on Xfire to see if the tab glows when I get a message(Xfire is like AIM for gamers, but you can join servers through it instead of going through a 20 page list of servers). On my recent theme, it never glowed so I could never tell if someone messaged me or not if my sound was off. If you're using Zune now, and you don't mind a smaller background image, then try this one: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/18797379/ I think it matches nicely, although it's really small on my monitor.

Hey JD, and Fireryone.
Gotta thank you again for those tips and links.
But I have to tell you, some of those themes look absolutely amazing until you install them, then your eyes start to do funny things if you look at the screen too long.
And I can't tell you my daughters comments when I left a particularly colorful one on for her to log onto.
Great fun.
I agree. My eyes were hurting afterwards, and I don't even know why.
There were ones that looked really good in the previews, but when I installed them, they looked horrible -
Ok, that means you need to find a different theme
I have two that make the "Analyze" Button loose its text
, so I don't use it.Keep looking and you should find one that nice and works for you.
Thanks. I actually spent some time last night going through every option and changing the color to see what it effects. I'm pretty sure I have it how I want now.
The VS ones are visual styles, these are the ones that work with a patched uxtheme file. The WB ones will only work if you've bought and installed Windows Blinds.There are hundreds of visual style themes on deviantart, you will find one that suits you (and works) eventually. Some do occasionly cause strange display issues, as you've just found out, but most are fine
Oh. Thanks. Yeah, I think I got everything right now.

Has anyone done this?

Thanks JD. I'll give the TCP program a go soon. I was hoping to speed up my connection for a better ping in Halo, and I've noticed my downloads rarely go above 90kb/s. When I'm not loading any site, my connection is 54MBps, but when I downloaded a 219MB .rar file it dropped down to 36MBps, and downloaded at about 87kb/s. I wanted to see if I could change that.
On Speedtest.net, I got 740kb/s download and 130kb/s upload in Washington, DC, which is less than 100miles away.
