    Van Parasites!

    Your good friends were spotted in downtown Squishy today! I was like LOL OMFG!!!!!11 IT"S THE VAN! LOL
  5. Well, just a tease really. I'm too tired tonight, but we should definetly have a sesh this week, K? You know who I'm talking too, I see you online...
  6. More or less... I think.
  7. I would say more like "it depends"
  8. Check out my link 8 posts up. Tabbed browsing is way better for me. I also like to be able to resume where I left off... I can save a set of windows as a session and go back there any time I want. I can have a folder full of bookmarks, and open them all at once with a few keystrokes. Great for getting all your weather links in one place. Nicknames for Bookmarks rule. I type "cc" and the last 25 posts come up instantly. I type "sw" and I have the weather report... No PopUps. Built in Google (and other) searches. Download manager that allows you to resume downloads. I like the Email client, many don't though. "Notes" are a handy feature. I like being able to modify menus so that things are where I want to see them. eg. I put a "Closed" window option into the right click on pagebar menu. Let's me reopen windows that I have closed... "Spatial Navigation" is great when you are using a laptop with no mouse and you hate those little touchpad thingys. Being able to remove page formatting with one click, or a keystroke is very useful for those awful websites that have (for example) yellow text on a black background. If I was on dial-up the option to not load images (or load them selectively) would get used a lot. "Zoom" zooms the whole page, not just the text. Try dragging an image from a page onto the pagebar... Cool huh? Middle click to open page in background... couldn't live without it any more. Mouse gestures for back and forward... That's a few of the things I like.
  9. It's better in so many ways... as is Firefox. It's all in how you set it up, I wouldn't call this too much junk:
  10. That's a matter of opinion...
  11. Like this one. Scott, maybe you're not so bad after all.

  13. Pop up??? what's that??? (hint: www.opera.com )
  14. Just started raining here.
  15. and a pink one at that
  16. I think it would look different if it broke into little pieces...
  17. The climbing gear buying season had been on pause for a while...
  18. KFR, that's what I heard too.
  19. allergic to milk? drink be er
  20. Hmm, I never thought of the Contis as bad tires, just the opposite in fact.
  21. Perhaps it is something like that (arsenic in iron in retardant.) They put all kinds of crap in fertilizers.
  22. I heard something last year after our big fire season about how there were also high levels of arsenic in the retardent chemicals, and it was all gonna wash into the streams and stuff.
  23. Few points - I never tried, but don't like the idea of fixed gear in traffic. Scares the sh%t outta me in fact! That's why I suggested a BMX freewhell rig. Tires - I used to ride the skinniest $20 Continental tires I could get, like 18mm. These did me fine up and down curbs, and the occasional flight of stairs. Pumped up to 100PSI they were zippy. Just replace them often. None of these fat ass 2.whatever "hybrid tires." Oh yeah, slicks work in the rain at that size too. More rubber on the road. My bike was a cheap ass TREK road bike. I put straight bars on it, and MTB levers. Then I had a wheel built for the BMX freewheel, and clippless pedals. That was one of my favourite bikes ever. It later raod from here to Halifax (with gears again).
  24. That's because girls are nicer.
