Catmoves Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Sure seems like it. Since they managed to 'piratize' copyright laws, apparently they think they can 'piratize' anything! Sheesh!I wonder if the dictionaries will soon have the new word 'piratize' LOL! I love that word. I am hereby piratizing "piratize". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a difficult time understanding why those who use systems such as linux and browsers such as firefox are so aggressive with their preferences. I use linux on a part of my hard drive, Windows on another. So what? My preference.I use four different browsers, none of them FF, because that browser does not work properly on my configurations. So what? My preference. You will never convince me to try something by insulting me. Why should I listen to these rants and raves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prelude76 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 You will never convince me to try something by insulting me. Why should I listen to these rants and raves? did i miss something? how did linux and insulting catmoves sneak into my short post about ads not being found anywhere if you use firefox? i'm confused.if i were to insult you, i would've mentioned that even my dumb-as-a-stump dad managed to install firefox all by himself. but i didn't say anything to that regards, did i? seriously, how can you NOT get firefox working on your 'configuration'? i've easily set it up on win98, win2k, winxp, win2003, vista, linux, heck, even as a stand-alone flash app that doesnt even NEED to be installed, simply runs by itself off a memory stick. just how buggered up is you system that firefox croaks on it? might need a re-format of windows if that's the case.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Gosh! Using this guy's logic, I guess I'm a crook for muting TV commercials and going outside for a smoke while they're playing. Maybe we should outlaw the mute button on remote controls, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymac46 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Gosh! Using this guy's logic, I guess I'm a crook for muting TV commercials and going outside for a smoke while they're playing. Maybe we should outlaw the mute button on remote controls, too.When I installed Deli Linux on my ancient P133 laptop the only browser that worked OK was Firefox. However if I had Flash working, FF would immediately crash upon visiting a Flash-enabled webpage. The only solution was to install the Flashblock extension.I soon discovered I liked being Flash-free so have installed Fashblock on all my other Firefox-equipped machines.And yes I use Adblock Plus as well. So sue me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I use Adblock Plus w/ Filter Set G in FF. Before that, I used to use a little app in Windows to block ads. Heck... I haven't seen an ad, pop-up, or other annoyance on my system in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temmu Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 get the mvp hosts file; it blocks tons of stuff and as it is only a file and not an executable, it doesn't slow down your pc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
