I’m sure you can find most of that stuff in the Mozilla folder under your Program Files.
About free antiviruses, AVG is good, but AntiVir is considered better. Just a thought.
And yeah about the hard drive thing, it’s not a matter of “unlocking” some sort of hidden space on your hard drive. A 500 gb hard drive should show up as around 466 gb. That’s just all there is to it. It’s not a rip-off, although it is needlessly confusing.
Windows (and most other operating systems) views a kilobyte as 1,024 bytes, not simply 1,000 bytes. So as you go from byte, to kilobyte, to megabyte, to gigabyte, you’re “losing” a lot of numbers. One gigabyte is viewed in Windows as 1,073,741,824 because it’s a base 2 counting system. We count in base 10, so a gig to us humans is simply a billion bytes. This is why as you increase in hard drive size, the more space you seem to “lose.”
If in doubt, go to your My Computer, right click one of the drives, and click Properties. You’ll notice the capacity in bytes is noticably larger than the simple GB amount to the right of it.
My 430gb D drive is actually 462,422,011,904 bytes. But it says 430gb, not 462gb as we’d humanly call it.
EDIT: Oh, and the obvious question to ask next is, “Well why don’t the stupid hard drive manufacturers count in base 2?” Because they are actually counting in base 10, as we would, and as some operating systems actually do too. I’m not sure WHICH operating systems do that, and I don’t see why it matters since 99% of everything is Windows. But meh.
Easy answer:
1GB = 1^9 bytes
1GiB = 2^30 bytes
Windows uses GiB as GB.
Yeah there ya go lol. I’m too longwinded. =\
Ok folks I’m trying to open my ports here. I’ve got 3 mb/sec going out on my uploads but for some reason my downloads are hardly registering. Does this mean one of the addresses I entered into the port opening option in my router is fucked up?
Ok, my cousin built my comp from scratch. I knew the OS he used wasnt genuine so I knew not to do the windows system update. But I guess someone who used my comp updated the computer and it didnt pass the Microsoft software check or w/e and now I’m getting this annoying shit on startup that says “I may be a victim of software counterfeiting” and I gotta click some bullshit b4 my computer loads. Is ther a way I can take this off or have it not pop up anymore? Maybe something I need to look for in msconfig to turn off? I dont plan on reformatting just for this. Need some input/help
I hope you get banned.
Going for a clean desktop setup so I’m in the market for a wireless keyboard. I’d rather get a slim, non-ergo style layout without a lot of extra unnecessary buttons. Basically, just a regular plain-jane wireless keyboard. RF or Bluetooth, doesn’t matter. Any suggestions?
Logitech S510. Simple, cheap, works great, keyboard is excellent with little noticable lag, all the “extra” buttons are off to each side and very inconspicuous.

i think they’re about $30 on amazon.com
That’s a pretty sleek keyboard.
Wonder if I could just Dremel off that wrist rest. Carpal Tunnel FTW. 
Very interesting! Maybe I’ll check out the local shops this weekend to test it out before buying it online.
well, i know office max and staples both have them for $60. so don’t pay that much. if you don’t like that one, another is the dinovo, but it’s the most expensive one out there… but it’s SO SEXY

Anybody got feedback on the Bamboo tablet [the $80 one]? I’m thinking about picking it up…
Edit: I was lookin’ at the specifications and it doesn’t say anything about an AMD processor [which I currently have]. Would that be an issue?
noob question guys bare wit me. 
Ok so I had this aim conversation about 3 to four hours ago. I was suppose to save the chat room convesation but had forgot to. So I closed out the window and now I’m here. Is there anything i can do to get that conversation back? I’ ve heard from others you can’t but I’ve decided to get a second opinion from SRK. If it helps, I’m using AIM 6.
Simple questin. How do I add programs to my quick launch toolbar? Not shortcuts, but an original button like the show desktop one.
