puck thanks but i already knew how to work those, and yes i agree they work much better, but the only complaint that i have about them is that it seems to slow the comp down a lot while surfing the web, and ya he just had to un plug something for a few seconds then put it back in, and we do have a linksys router but thats the very first time that, thats happened to me

It's not like tabbing was invented for browsers you know. It's been in use with Text Editors for ages.
And what makes FireFox a stripped down version of Safari?

I am actually looking into Computer Science or Information Systems to study next year.
Depends of work availability when I finish the course.

I had the same problem. Guess what the culprit was?
A weak line splitter under the house. It's so intermittent that you think the problem is software....got a techie out to investigate, and meters found the problem.
depends on how long the guy was there and how much he gets paid per hour

i had a small issue like that with Comcast
and the solution was quite simple - 'underload'. the modem wasn't getting quite hot enough of a drive to keep a lock
SOLUTION: where the main cable line hits my house we put a 2-way splitter - 1 side STRICTLY for the Internet connection
- side 2 - STRICTLY for Digital / HDTV Cable
that fixed things right up
I had been hitting the modem after about the 3rd break in the line (meaning at the 3rd splitter in house using close to 5 splitters)

SO ? Which browser was the first to incorporate it into Web-Browsing ? that is the topic of the conversation is it not ? or is this a TextEdit thread ?
Vigsted said:
lets see,... tabbed browsing / integrated google / similar GUI
less functional than Safari .... it's a stripped rip
it is a clone of Safari
but definitely my favorite WinPC browser
btw ,....
I just downloaded the latest version of FireFox
and it's not quite as user-frienfdly as Safari
I saw no quick way to start new tabs (right click) nor am I able to add catalogued bookmarks to the address bar
also, the bulk of the address / tab / bookmark toolbars is considerably larger using FireFox
but, again, it is (imo) the coolest browser available for WinPC's - but it still far behind Safari in ease of use and functionality

But how is it "stealing" from Safari, when Safari wasn't the first progam to use it?
Puck said:
ok, so you can't have folders on the Bookmark toolbar.
If you want fast navigation for FireFox just grab a gesture extension of your fancy.
And what in FireFox's GUI do you feel is from Safari? My GUI looks like IE and Netscape did 10 years ago...
And while we're at it, how many features did Safari steal from Opera?
Gunny said:
Fortunately zero....unless you count my hours lost going postal over it.
easy....
i was just winding it up
i do not recall Firefox being available when I first used Safari
Opera has been around since way before then, but I don't remember Firfox

Mozilla has been around since at least 2001, and Firefox is just a cutdown version of the old Mozilla browser (browser-only). Safari came out in 2003.
A couple of other browsers used tabbed browsing as far back as the mid-90's. Opera is one of them. The other (which was the first to used tabbed browing), is long since dead as far as I know

Is there any difference between RAM for a PC and RAM for a Laptop?
I am going to buy more RAM for my slow *** computer.

I have Avast! Antivirus.
Also Zone Alarm as firewall
Also Spybot Resident, not just the normal Spybot to detect spyware, but also to prevent getting it... I aslo have inmunized all the bad sites that spybot inmunizes
I have Ad-Aware just in case i get it and spybot does nutting.
You could also use online virus scanners to detect them (not for removal, though but it will tell you what do you exactly have)
My favourite kaspersky
And if none of that works: The one allmighty tool:HijackThis
Visit http://www.merijn.org for info on how to use it, tutorials for the logs it generates (how to read them and tell what´s wrong) and more info and links to comunities where someone could read it for you if you ask politely for it.
Well, thats what has worked for me (usually cleaning others computers cause i dont get em anymore with all the tools i have now)
Gunny, you should get one of your ram memory modules and take it with you when you go buying cause there are many kinds!, most are the same but some have "weird" types.
You got SDRAM and DDR and also check the frecuency-speed (233Mhz? or 533Mhz?) and the number of pins (usually 184 but theres 100 too) and well, is complicated so take an old one and check that the new one has same frecuency, type (SDRAM or DDR) and number of pins... and as big as possible....
It is better to buy them by pairs, not to have a big new one, and an old one, the computer will have less problems administrating that memory.
Even better is to go to the shop with your motherboard specifications/manual, maybe you can use other kind of memory or speed better that the vendor did not use in your computer. Who knows (probably not, oh well)

Yes and no. Technologically there isn't much difference so far as I know. It's basically just more compact for laptops. But then every computer has to have a specific RAM card that won't necessarily work in any other model...Gunny said:
If you aren't sure what type of memory you need, check http://crucial.com to find out. They sell in Australia (though I'm not sure how much they charge to ship), but at least you can see what specs you need even if you don't buy it online.
I , too, was going to suggest Hijack This. You have to run a spybot check and save the log for them to look at. They helped with some stuff I had going on with my computer last year. They are definitely good at finding hidden files. They suggested downloading System Security Suite (free). It runs in the background at all times to keep malware and/viruses/trojans from sneaking in.
I love hijack this. But it isn't something that I would suggest for a novice. You can easily hurt yourself with it if you don't know what you are doing.
