March 2007 Desktop Screenshots

Why do men who obviously have kids have desktops with naked women on them?

Said kids have encounter both key parts of a womans anatomy when they were much youger and have probably seen mom naked more than a few times. What's the problem?

Cookies + boobies FTW!

Saz, cool use of the new sidebar

Still playing around with some features, I think I finally have Firefox kind of the way I like it.

I wonder if I can make it any faster though, it's STILL sluggish compared to IE



Giggity.

 

[madmatt]

Because it sucks.

 

[kcnychief]

IE7 FTW

FF belongs on www.votefortheworst.com with Sanjaya

 

[vertigo]

err.. why?

been using IE since 5, then switched to firefox about a year ago. tried IE7, firefox is still better. don't know what you're talking about regarding speed, i'm pretty sure it depends largely on bandwith. if you're viewing 10 megapixel png images then cpu load might affect speed but otherwise i don't see it

 

[kcnychief]

Just for the record, I was only kidding

whats wrong with boobies? boobies are what makes the world go round

Uh, no.

IE7 is light-years faster, regardless of the task. Mind you this is AFTER I tweak the hell out of FF2 and BEFORE I do anything to IE7.

IE7 also has some features I love which can't be reproduced properly in FF2, the new tab option, the Favorites is much better and the tab preview is ace.

hmm didn't notice anything here. how come you're using firefox if you like IE?

maybe clear out the caches and reboot before you compare.

I'm giving it a go again coz of the fact that the add-ons are better than IE's.

If not for the add-ons, I wouldn't have bothered switching.

Caches are clear, and I think most of the people here who use FF2 and IE7 will agree than IE is indeed faster.

The original reason a year ago I switched to Firefox is because it was faster.

 

[Sazar]

Well shoot, I guess some people get different mileage from their browsers

 

[LordOfLA]

Ie7 is faster by far than FF2. I wonder how much it is aided by reduced CSS support though?

Edit: I wonder also how many people thing FF2 is faster purely to justify using an alternative browser when the only justificaiton needed is that they like it over the alternatives? Technical merits or otherwise aside all that matters to each individual is their personal preferences.

 

[gonaads]

Well if FF 2 was embedded into the OS also then we could have a true comparison now couldn't we. But let's not turn this into an IE vs FF thread. O.K.? Thaaaaaaanks.


To each his/her own.

[madmatt]
