Yeah I found a way last night by messing with a few options how to make Firefox load pages ALOT faster. I have dial-up and after changing the options in firefox it loads pages faster than my school's broadband connection. ^_^

Oh yeah and look at this post I found on Gamefaqs.com.

Okay my frend who's an Lord of the Rings nerd talked about this strong bad guy named "Morgot". And then he talked about how "Melker" was stronger than him. I had no idea who these people are, but I think that the LotR experts on this board (seeing as how some of you know everything about Lord of the Rings) might enlighten me.

So...if Morgot and Melker and Sauron were in a battle, who would win?

BTW is "Morgot" the name of the Balrog, because Gandalf calls him the "Balrog of Morgot"?

Quite amusing, I thought.

Haha, I hope you posted and straightened him out, Onoj wink

Firefox rocks ^__^ I was tweaking my Firefox that I have on my school account, and getting more extensions and changing the theme and stuff xD

But I've used Firefox since it came out...and I used regular Mozilla before then 3nodding

On firefox how do you set it so that when typing in a URL it doesn't autocomplete it and bring down previous websites you have visited. (Like if I were typing in www.g it would bring up www.gaiaonline.com, www.google.com and so on and so forth?) I know how to take it off on IE but no firefox.

Well, I have it set to not remember anything in my history so that's how I avoid that xd

See I have mine set that way as well so it doesn't remember anything....yet it still does it. sweatdrop

Oh my God xp either his so called Tolkien nerd is misinformed or he just heard the wrong explaination.

Firefox is great but like every other program, it has flaws. You still need a good pop-up blocker, anti-virus, and spyware deleting program. I use Yahoo pop-up blocker, Norton's anti-virus, and Ad-aware SE. You can use some more protection but those three is basically all you need. I find the google search area in the window quite usefull 3nodding

Really? I just set my History to remember pages from the past "0" days and it fixed it o.O

...Holy cheeseballs! 34 posts ago, I passed 5000 posts! O_O  

[curumo]

All I did to Firefox was change the theme. XP

And OMFG, Zurgi! I saw the picture that I drew for you in your rando-sig without refreshing and looking for it.

And Onoj, that person makes me laugh. Also the person he/she was talking about.

Also! The only way to watch LotR is in an IMAX theatre. It wasn't the greatest ever, but people dressed up and one of them had elf ears. And I laughed. I went today, and saw all three movies (the first two were EEs) with only half an hour between each. But we had to leave before the last one finished to catch the GO train. ):

Ah well. Fun.

Edit: Happy 34 posts past 5000, imy!

I went and saw Sin City tonight. Didn't care for it much. It had some awesome parts, but overall it was pretty dull and very overdone.

Was it just like the comic, though?

It was very similar to the comic. The only problem is that they used dialogue right from the Graphic Novels and used it for the film, and it was very dry. Nothing wrong with that though right? Well even while reading a comic you can get emotion out of the words while you are reading it and as the actors read their lines from the novels they had no emotion, so it totally killed how amazing the dialogue was.

I heard that Sin City pissed off many feminists...

Can't make an omlette without breaking a couple of eggs. Of course this movie is going to piss off a bunch of people, if it didn't it really wouldn't be staying true to the comic.
