  1. Firefox for me. I've tried all the latest builds of Safari and Chrome, but Firefox is my favourite. I really like the speed of Chrome, but I'm totally against all the 'usage tracking' information that Google collects from it. I'd like to have at least some privacy while on the net. Safari is also kinda quick, but the interface takes a bit of getting used to. And I wasn't very pleased with the mandatory cleartype that the whole browser would use. (Fortunately they let you turn this off in version 4). Techie rant: I'd really, really like it if Firefox was based on webkit. Every webkit browser seems to be MUCH faster, yet, Mozilla stick with Gecko... Oh and we mustn't forget that Firefox is open source! Yay!
  2. Happy Birthday, Bob! I hope you have a great day!
  3. Happy Birthday, Luigi! I hope you have a great day!
  4. Happy Birthday, Luc! I hope you have a great day!
  5. Congratulations, guys! - "I wish you both clear horizons. Make it so."
  6. Happy Birthday, Prince! I hope you have a great day!
  7. I agree, they performed amazingly well tonight. The choreography was so well thought out and flawlessly-(sorry) presented. I can't wait to see them at the Royal Variety Performance.
  8. Happy Birthday, Rob! I hope you have a great day!
  9. Happy Birthday, James! I hope you have a great day!
  10. Not just yet. Perhaps in a few years, once I'm out. What about you?
  11. Happy Birthday, Myr! I hope you have a great day!
  12. Yeah, I've heard about that too. Actually I came across this photo from their website: Here is the accompanying text: Yes, magic indeed.
  13. a Hehehe, I must have been grinning like a madman when I noticed that! I dunno, I really liked the idea of main engineering being kinda clean and controlled. I mean they filmed parts of the movie in a Budweiser factory for goodness sake! If they HAD to take the 'factory-esc' setting then they should have made the warp core look like the LHC at CERN. I could have lived with that! And for anyone who liked the film, I came across down right awesome video on Youtube. It's the opening animation for the Fedcon 2009 convention. The CGI is amazing, especially considering that it was made by one guy who has nothing to do with the film. (Be sure to watch in HD!)
  14. I'm pleased to hear that you had a lovely birthday, you deserved it. And you still have a nice evening planned. I hope you have a wonderful time there too.
  15. Hey all! I'm not sure how many of you know about Wolfram|Alpha, so I'll take a minute to describe to you what it is and how it differs from the likes of Google/Yahoo. Simply put: Wolfram|Alpha is a search engine (the makers call it a knowledge engine). You submit a query, it goes off and does its thing, and then it presents you with a result. But while Google/Yahoo search other websites for an answer, Wolfram|Alpha itself knows the answer to your query. By using some complex algorithms and magic , it understands what you're asking (even if you dress up the question) and searches its own directory of facts/data, which it then presents to you in a clear manner. It sounds more complicated than it is, so watch a demo given by Mr Wolfram himself here. So why am I mentioning this now? Well the system/infrastructure has been in development for a number of years, but it should be available to the general public tomorrow. (Saturday). There's also a live webcast of the system going online at: 8pm EDT | 5pm PDT | 12am UTC, (Friday), viewable here. If the system lives up to its claims then it will be one of my frequent point of calls when I have a question. If it doesn't work, there's always wiki... Emulated
  16. Happy Birthday, Graeme! I hope you have a great day!
  17. Happy Birthday, Mark! I hope you have a great day!
  18. Does it involve Windows 7?
  19. This movie is AMAZING! REALLY AMAZING! Just go and see it already! (In IMAX!) --------------------------- Ok, now let's get into detail... SPOILERS BE HERE!!! While I was watching the movie (which is great, BWT ), I was thinking: Star Trek, Not Star Trek, Star Trek, Not St-....... It was a Star Trek film, yet, it didn't feel like one. At all. I don't mean that in a bad way at all, actually, I really liked the departure, it ensures that the franchise can be rebooted and kept fresh. Bravo Abrams! At first I was irked by some of the things (why Vulcan?) that happened in regards to the timeline, But then I recalled that this film is based in a separate reality to the other series, so it doesn't really matter what happens, as it doesn't affect anything else but the film (and perhaps future films). The first ten minutes were very emotional and so cleverly portrayed. They took a somewhat clich
  20. The same discussion in two places? Interesting... But the SET? In what way was the set bad?
  21. Stargate SG1 & Atlantis, and Firefly were also great shows that were axed before their time, which shows that there's some people at the top who are just plain...nasty. Yeah, just nasty. The Trekkies that you know are traitors! Complete traitors! (Starship Computer voice) Unable to comply, detest for the theme song does NOT constitute a valid argument.
  22. If anyone else had that much trouble with installation I wouldn't believe them, but it's clear that Windows 7 does not like Sir Galahad! Perhaps you should stick to Vista. For your sake. Yes, an omen. Stay clear and backup immediately, just in case it attempts to sabotage your computer!
  23. Awesome scripts, EXCELLENT concept, great cast...the list goes on! Glad we can agree on something.
  24. Hehehe, you are having the WORST luck with Win7! Stick to your tried & tested Vista x64!
  25. I agree with you guys, it wasn't anything special. It was entertaining though, so I'll give it that much. But Deadpool was freaking HOT! Hahaha, the only movie that I've been to that was that empty was SWAT. It was hilarious.
