Can't tell. My system is extremely fast, so it's hard to say. Feels just like Firefox 6.

It seems so, at least on my old lap top

still, it's beta, so .... what do I really know?

[Jeff]

Saw this video which states that Firefox 7 uses less memory than Firefox 6.

[TerminX]

I upgraded from Firefox to Chrome a year or so ago and haven't looked back. The performance difference is immense.

Yes. Unlike you I switched four month ago, nothing comes close.

I had a random question I wanted to pose but forgot, so here is another question:
When a spam bot hits here, how many people report it? Is it a nuisance to the mods if everyone reports it? I figure the psychological deferment of responsibility thing kicks in (someone else will do it) half the time but we have an invested interest in keeping the forum clear of spam (it is damn annoying) so that might cause more people to report it...I'm curious.

Don't shit your pants.

Hey, do you guys remember this game

Basically you're some drunk guy trying to pee into a toilet.

This is what you get when you misbehave in prison

[Master Fibbles]

I got an email from Lucas Arts about taking a survey about my experience testing out The Old Republic...I didn't test out the Old Republic. If I had time, I'd probably jump on it...but I didn't have a beta of the game...why would they think I did?

After WoW, I don't think I could play another MMO. We are talking about the Star Wars MMO here, yes?

I found it easier with J20 if you set your mouse sensitivity really low.

[Lunick]

Do any of you guys use OnLive? I have two codes for Braid and Osmos I don't use and I'd be happy to give them to someone.

I spy with my little eye something yellow........

[Jeff]

So I went over to get a Pepsi, and there's these three guys who couldn't figure out how to get back into the condo with their infrared scanner, and so I let them in. They were drunk as hell. Anyways, we walk into the elevator, and one guy introduces himself. He said I seemed kind of quiet and asked if I was okay. One of the other guys almost looked like he was going to beat me up or something. So the nice guy knocks him on the floor of the elevator and says in a drunken voice "Leave em alone!". They get off on the 2nd floor and the nice guy says goodbye to me.

Edit: My brother and I were talking about great hockey fights last weekend. I just watched some Bob Probert fights. I didn't know this, but he actually died last year. He was only 45 or so. Was out spending some time with his kids I think, and he just collapsed. Must have been a heart attack.

I cut my hair and shaved today...and, yes, I did have a Hitler stach for a time.

You are funny
just for you

Deutschland, Deutschland über Alles ....

[Master Fibbles]

Honestly, I have no idea why Hitler ever kept that stupid stache. How could anyone take someone with that ridiculous thing seriously? Charlie Chaplin used it for comedy....how did Hitler pull it off?

[ReaperMan]

Huh thats an interesting picture you have of yourself Mr.Flibble..... I wonder what a Hitler mustache would look like on you.

[Lorelei]

I guess Hitler pulled it off because if anyone told him he looked stupid they wouldn't have been living for much longer.

Odd bit of trivia: One of Hitler's favourite movies was Charlie Chaplin's 'The Great Dictator' where he essentially impersonates Hitler, attacks Nazism, and gives a speech about tolerance and brotherhood.

Nah, that was just a popular style back then, its a real pain to shave under your nose with a strait razor so they just didn't shave there. Hitler made it unpopular, because he was an asshole.

Serious? Hitler LIKED that movie? I mean, it is a great film and the last one Chaplin did with the stache and the first one in which he spoke, but I didn't know Hitler liked it.


Also, Reaper, I have more than one picture with my Hitler/Chaplin stache...I plan on using them to make both a Hitler and a Chaplin version of myself.

Spoiler

Ah, hell...

[ReaperMan]

^ That would make a great Joseph Stalin picture.

[Master Fibbles]

haha...
I think I didn't trim it narrow enough, but thank God for digital photos and Photoshop (and The GIMP because I am yet to figure out how to effectively move around in PS. The GIMP has a versatile system for zooming and panning that I can find in PS)

[Jeff]

It's actually a crime to do the Hitler salute in Germany. Some tourist got busted for it.

[Lorelei]

The swastika is banned there too. A friend who worked on the Hellboy: Science of Evil game told me they had to turn the swastika to a bizarre cross logo so the game could sell in Germany.

[Master Fibbles]

The swastika is a bizarre cross thing. It is a symbol for infinity as a spinning cross. I think I've heard before of Christian Nazis saying something about it being a circle within a circle which is apparently prophesied somewhere. I don't proof text the bible though, so I don't know and I'm not really sure I care to know where because at no point do I want to debate a Nazi over something like that. It would end with my own demise because I'm not sure it is possible for such a person to also be open to new ideas.
However, this Jehovah's Witness who keeps coming by, I'll get him eventually...he'll see the light eventually.

[Hank]

The symbol is stolen from the Hindu Religion, and has nothing to do with Judeo-Christian-Islam faiths.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

I guess only my old Vaterland think other wise. Hitler only lasted for like 12 years, plagiarized a symbol and every one thinks the swastika is his. Similar to Wagner, he is still a political incorrect composer because Hitler liked his music.

[Master Fibbles]

You mean the Flight of the Valkyrie was not a Nazi theme song? What?!
