    What web browser do you use?

    i just wanted to say that just because you use one browser over the other.. doesnt have anything to do with getting a virus.. i have seen them all.. and i will say i have seen people with opera as their main browser and yes they too have had a virus.. or 2.. or 15.. i have been in the computer field professionally for over 20 years.. and i have never had a virus on any my home boxes over the past 15+ years.. i have infected my test computer at the shop on purpose to test antivirus software.. i dont like opera.. to each his/her own.. but no virus here from any browser.. netscape/ie/firefox/opera.. etc.. its like the ole i love ford over chevy (fords sux IMO j/k lol) but i see it everday.. thats what i do for a living.. and i just wanted to say you wont get a virus from a webpage unless you are looking in the dark corners of the web.. if you are there.. you play the risk.. and no dont tell me you dont goto those sites.. i have seen it all.. and some you wouldnt believe.. nicest people.. worst places on the net.. so just take this with a grain of salt.. all the browsers are good if thats what you like.. they do what they are supposed to do.. surf the web.. but honestly.. i have had computers in my life with no antivirus software and tested for years and then scanned and still no virus.. nothing... you just have to watch what you open.. email.. websites.. software you have downloaded from your bearshare/limewire/utorrent (you know who you are)

    What web browser do you use?

    firefox is just a browser.. they have thunderbird for email if you wish.. firefox will uninstall simply by going and uninstalling it.. IE will remain there no matter what.. it is embedded into windows.. most of what you use windows for uses IE to do it..

    What web browser do you use?

    firefox definately better then IE.. i use firefox exclusively.. only use IE7 when i have to.. add some plugins that will help you out in firefox and its all good

    Need a Comet (as in the car)

    what model? i dunno if you have seen this tutorial.. but i have been researching like mad.. and i came across this.. you might want to give it a try.. http://www.signforums.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=43457 at first he shows how to do this with a portrait of Audrey Hepburn but if you scroll down he shows it again with a Jeep.. then again with a Mustang.. i think if you try that you can vector anything..

    my 1st big job

    i wanted to chime in and say.. as a small business owner.. you gotta get your name out there and show that you do quality work.. once you do that.. your reputation will spread.. then you will make your money back 10 fold.. you did the right thing.. always help your friends and family whenever you can.. good to see you are still friends with an ex.. sometimes it can be hard but its good to see.. people are people.. congrats on your first job.. it feels good when you make money on something you enjoy to do.. i cant wait to start cutting some vinyl.. i already have friends beggin me for stickers.. btw.. 97" x 15" and your first job??? you crazy j/k you gotta be confident if you tackle that length.. wish you had pictures..

    where to find longer serial cable

    just for reference.. i deal with monoprice.com and i have never had any problems.. i have dealt with them for years.. always prompt shipment and almost always cheapest price.. especially on cables..

    xbox 360 owners

    the good ole 3 rings of death.. been there done that.. after my last one died i got tired of this.. i had my 360 since i won it from Mt.Dew before they were released!!! it died!!!! ??? so this new one i got.. i did some research online so i took apart and soldered a fan header on the motherboard (there is a spot for it but microsoft didnt use it.. i just desoldered one from an old motherboard) so the cooling fans would run at 12v instead of variable voltage depending on heat.. in the stock form, they don't come on full speed (12v) until its really too late.. while i had it open i went ahead and put some artic silver on the heatsinks.. and knock on wood.. been staying nice and cool. that is a nice sticker.. im a long time video gamer.. ever since my brothers got pong in the late 70s.. ever since then.. i have bought every system to date.. im a collector.. i still have them all.. thats where my username comes from.. gm2k8 = GameMaster and then of course 2k8=2008..
  24. lol Smallsigns.. i could probably find one in my wife's sewing supplies.. i totally forgot about that.. SHHHH.. dont tell her.. she wont know
