  1. ^ That should be in another topic, to be honest. It's offtopic and nowhere near the area where the topic of this quake occurred.

    I've been closely following the quake since it happened and there've been a lot of aftershocks. I've not felt a single one yet despite the strongest being a 4.5.

    Thus far we've had the main 5.8 quake, and as for aftershocks: 2.8, 2.2, 4.2, 3.4, 2.5, 4.5, 2.3, 2.4.

  2. Hey, i have WOT at the moment, but since its community based it can be really biased sometimes, so i would like to have another reputation type thing along side WOT. So theres like norton, mcaffee but i really dont knwo which one i should use.

    So any good things for firefox or chrome (mainly firefox though) addons with this stuff? which should i use?

    Try Webutation.

  3. Saw this on another forum I frequent and felt I should pass it along as many of this community may know of her as well.

    Dear Friends,

    I suspect that many of you have noticed that the last issue of Karen's Power Tools Newsletter was dated March 17, 2010, and you may have been anxiously awaiting another. It is with great sadness that I write to tell you of Karen's death on April 12, 2011, after a long struggle with several debilitations, including diabetes. I know that Karen touched many of you with her kindness, wit, creativity and encouragement. She was a loving daughter, sister, aunt and friend. And she was a pretty darned good programmer, too. We are deeply grieving her loss. For now, Karen's server is still running, the programs she has written can still be downloaded, and donations can still be made through the website. We are also working to fill all CD orders that have been submitted or mailed. It is difficult to make business decisions while grieving. So, at this point, I cannot say what will be the future of KarenWare.com, except to say that we will certainly continue Karen's commitment to safeguard your privacy as shown at the Privacy link of KarenWare.com. Many of you have already written many kinds words of condolence and comfort. Please know that we greatly appreciate you. If you care to make a contribution in her honor, she was a long-time supporter of The Dohnavur Fellowship, a special children's ministry in southern India. You can learn more about them at www.DohnavurFellowship.org. All we ask is that you remember her whenever you take the case off of your computer, contemplate removing entries from your Windows Registry, listen to Bob Wills or Riders in the Sky, or wave and say 'Hi!' to anyone on the 'net. May God richly bless you, as He has all those who knew Karen.

    Karen died in her sleep on Tuesday, 12 April. Here is a link to the obituary that appeared in the Tulsa World:

    RIP

  4. Firefox here. Using Firefox 4 x64 nightly in fact.

    Chrome, looked at once, never again. Especially after that huge EULA mess they had with how if you use their browser to post anything (blog, news, forum post, etc.) they could use it and say it's their own. Forget it.

    So I'm happily continuing with Firefox, using Adblock Plus paired with rick752's (RIP) EasyList* (whitelisting favorite/frequent sites), Tab Mix Plus, and DownThemAll (and a few other addons for website work like Firebug and Web Developer). I don't touch NoScript. I find it far too paranoid and annoying for my tastes.

    *Avoid Fanboy's list, else you'll have tons of broken images on tons of websites.

  5. It has been suggested many times that they re-enable the "Report" feature/button here so posts can be reported properly. Though it has not been re-enabled because it causes "more work for the team".

    3.x has a report center which makes things a lot easier. No idea why they've waited all this time to upgrade, but 3.1 is out June 1st so these forums may finally be upgraded then.

  6. Yeah, registry cleaners are hard to tell of they help or not. That's the main issues with them.

    On Comodo Firewall: I quit using it when I won a lifetime Outpost Pro Firewall license. I haven't been happier. I already had trust issues with Comodo since they were issuing security certificates to known malware sites. If they allow that, just imagine them recommending a malware application as "safe to trust" in their firewall.
