just vist www.mozilla.org and click free download. Otherwise try uninstalling firefox then re-installing see if that helps. Pierce

Only a few are critical. If you have a mac its recomended you upgrade ASAP. http://www.reallysimplenews.com/?article=235 Pierce

Yup, Developers want visual studio 2005 delayed so that microsoft can have enough time to fix the bugs. Microsoft says no. Read full article at http://www.reallysimplenews.com/?article=233 Pierce

The only thing i can think of to do, is take the hard drive out and put it in another computer and backup the files. OR insert your windows xp disk, CAREFULLY READ EACH INSTRUCTION, and choose a "REPAIR INSTALL" or something like that, cross your fingers and install, do not click or choose anything with FORMAT written on it. Pierce

Quick action is to simply use the disks that come with the computer and re-install the operating system and not to "re-do" the same thing again Other things you can try is open up run -> type in -> sfc /scannow this will return all windows system files back to their original state (this is assuming you have the windows xp home disk, and you can actually boot into windows, if you cant try safemode (press f8 on startup)). Pierce

The best VNC program (and ive used Real, Tight, Windows w/e) is UltraVNC, it is extremly easy to setup and a quick download. Be sure to set it up on your dads (allow it though the firewall, start on startup so on and so forth). I wouldnt use the windows one because if theres ever a day when you need to do it with linux... then you will be familyar with a program and you wont have to migrate. The link for UltraVNC is http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net Pierce

Best words i can say is dont get upset, oh okay your stats cant be transfered but seriously this is life. The better people in life are the ones who can adapt to a new situation. Im sure if theres anything you dont like on these board's, if you offer a suggestion jeff would at least consider it. Ive never watched G4, as i dont have it in ireland. So im not going to rant about it . Hope you enjoy the forums Pierce

Yes, if you correctly read the "small print" it will say reverse engineering of any kind will invalidate your legality of using the software. Also even if you have OSX for your macintosh, unless its an "intel" powered macintosh the operating system will not install on a pc even with the hack. Pierce

You also need one hell of a powersupply unit and major cooling, thoes cards are power hungary and heat generators. And you need your own money printing press to afford the technology. I hear the 7800 is nearly ready to be released, they should be awesome.

Its not a keylogger, I examined the headers it was sending and its only keystrokes. And yes i do write all the news articles that i submit to my site, however. When i was coding the actual site i logged up 250,000+ keystrokes in one week. Being on IRC also helps. Pierce

I love computers, use them day night and morning (and yes in that order). I use them for creativity, gaming, and socializing. So, how obsessed with computers am i? Well in the last 10 months ive typed 4.5million keys, and clicked half as much. Which means that for each and every second of my natural life (including sleep, showering, on the toilet or pretty much any time im not infront of a computer) i am typing 0.17keys a second! So that means every 10 seconds im typing in my sleep nearly 2 keys. How obsessed are you? PROOF! : http://whatpulse.org/stats/users/114121/ Pierce

Jeff has been pulled away from his pc, so he wont be doing the podcast tonight sorry folks. Anyhow dont be disapointed, check out my podcast! http://www.crapcaster.com hehe, its not offensive but there is some bad language in it but not a lot. Pierce

The idea about having different people each time is a nice one but unrealistic. Just trying to get 2 people to meet at the same time accross different timezones is hard, 3+ is harder 4+ is impossible. But a "quesion box" would be cool, i could code up one if jeff asked me to . Pierce

Questions, oh so many, so few answers 1.Windows Anti-Piracy what do you think? 2.Windows Vista the redefinition of GUI's? 3.PodCasts are they worth the energy? 4.DSL upload speeds threaten the future of a mulitmedia internet 5.The next war, megapixel camera wars in phones 6.Apple iTunes Japan 1million tracks in 4 days sold 7.Goverment funds voip tracking 8.GTA San Andreas hot coffee VS Sims2 hot coffee 9.Content on demand systems, are they less hastle than a DVD/CD? 10.Spam king a millionair, wtf? 11.Space, is it worth it and should the shuttle be scapped? 12.The security threat of Spyware, id

Microsoft to make windows vista perform like new even if the install is 2 years old! http://www.reallysimplenews.com/?article=205 Pierce

i never used their site to be honest, the chat room was far much more fun Pierce

People usualy dont understand when i say microsofts biggest competor is microsoft them selves. There is more pirated versions of windows than there is linux/unix desktops. I wish microsoft would have 2 versions, a version with support and one without (support being defined as "phone" and "e-mail") Pierce

Yup, a more "perminant" solution. http://www.reallysimplenews.com/?article=204 Pierce

You know whats even funnier? When your in #besttechie chat room you can join the lockergnome one /join #lockergnome Pierce

It doesnt appear to work for me either, i get a random number that makes no sence. Pierce BTW, what country do you have to be in for this to work? and what lenght should your phone number be?

6 new patches in this months cycle, 1 marked critical. http://www.reallysimplenews.com/?article=199 Pierce

Hey, you never know how cheap you are till your faced with a bill Pierce

An ozzy writer has created 5 proof of concept viruses for the new Windows Vista operating system, more about that here -> http://www.reallysimplenews.com/?article=194 What a joke. Pierce

The question is, now that its "corporate" the next step is to have a pro product. Would you pay for it? And if you had to, would you first consider Opera or go back to IE? Pierce

Mozilla is now a corporation :x http://www.reallysimplenews.com/?article=185 Thanks bozodog, oops Pierce
