Blown capacitors on 8600GT

Apparently a few pops were heard from the computer and this is what was found. What are some possible causes for this? Was it just some bad capacitors on the card itself or could the PSU have been the culprit? Oh and the card has never been overclocked afaik. *Pics*...

What's your favorite browser right now?

Adblock Plus doesn't block anything and doesn't come with filters by default. That is, unless you subscribe to one of the filters that it shows you when you first run it. You could also just subscribe to Easylist here http://easylist.adblockplus.org/ Control + N = new window

FireFox 3.5 is slow and leaky for me

Could also give SRware Iron a try. It's a build off Chromium but with the privacy issues of Chrome removed and the auto-upater removed. Also has an adblock.ini file you can edit to use as an adblocker. You can grab pre-defined filters if you google for "fanboy's adblock"

FireFox 3.5 is slow and leaky for me

The gist of the fiasco was that if both Noscript and Adblock Plus were installed, the noscript extension was coded to insert 'exception filters' into adblock so that when you visted the noscript homepage, the ads wouldn't be blocked.

FireFox 3.5 is slow and leaky for me

It's unfortunate everyone's having these problems. I use 3.5.2 with well over 35 extensions without issue. But at the same time, I've always done clean installs with major releases.

Firefox vs Safari vs Chrome vs IE8 vs Opera

I don't see how Firefox is a "performance laggard" here. The only browsers that beat it in that test are the ones based on webkit which, we all already know, is the fastest. Actually, Firefox was never really the fastest anyway, especially before tracemonkey came along. If anything, Opera...

For people who use firefox, why dont you use IE7/8?

Because it has nothing to offer. If I felt the need to switch, it would be to Opera with Chrome a distant second. Mozilla just needs to work on the general "sluggishness" of Firefox when it comes to startup time, memory use, and the overall feel. Otherwise, in terms of usability and features...

Antivirus 2009/2010/2012

in general, you shouldn't really switch an administrator account to a limited one because quite frankly, this doesn't work very well. it's best to create a limited account from scratch.

That's funny because that's exactly why I said "when it works" in my original post about the separate process feature. Yes, I know the browser is still in beta but it just shows that this feature may not be all it's cracked up to be. As for Greasemonkey... well, I'd recommend you install...

It's not just about what you have ON the computers. It's about what you do over the internet connection as well. Without encryption, a lot of what you do over the network goes through the air in plain text. All someone has to do is sit there, turn on a passive sniffer, and get all that data. It...

I use over 30 extensions and I don't remember the last time FF3 crashed (aside from a single greasemonkey script that I have since gotten rid of). I suppose there's always the Firefox safe mode you can use to try and diagnose the problem. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode...

Yeah, Opera's block content feature blows compared to Adblock but it works alright for banner ads. Once you block something, you can usually just enter the URL in manually for other things you want to block.
