Firefox vs. Internet Explorer

jez — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 10:12:24 +0000

I prefer Firefox to the Internet Explorer for several reasons which I will not be listing here today.
This post is merely a quick information to all my visitors to compare what they are missing when not using Firefox.
I had to create a whole new template and stylesheets for my Internet Explorer audience, because the one working for Firefox was causing troubles -layout wise- for IE.

The main difference is actually merely the menu. On Firefox it renders on the top and looks cool, while Internet Explorer users will have it on the left hand-side. Still cool, but not as fancy and smooth (I find).

Click either the Firefox logo or the Internet Explorer logo to see a screenshot of the h4x3d.com mainsite in the browser.
Enjoy.

One cool thing, is that Linux browsers seem to like my layout. Nothing breaks so far. If you have trouble with the layout, please leave a comment.

How much Chilly can you take?

How much Chilly can you take?

I think it really depends on the kind of Chilly, there like different “blends”, the biologists on here will probably know what I wanted to say…
e.g. my personal favorites are:

Birdeye
Habanero
Tepin, Piquin, Pequin

They are all quite spicy, not to say hot on taste!
I do recommend washing your fingers carefully after cooking, grinding those or touching them in general, else you might end up like me, sitting in front of your PC in thoughts, scratching your back (ass?) and then swearing about the stupidity of not washing the hands. No joke, I spent an hour or so to get things of, so burning hot I thought I was going mad. I had to drink myself to bed with vodka!!

Here is a list of Chilly blends:

One-Click-Filehoster-Comparison (file-upload)

There is a follow-up post on myone-click filehoster comparison. I got mailed by one visitors, kanji, and he told me that he used my list to conduct further studies. His results can be found here

Released the Razr V3i Phone Tools Software, then later on the full v3i Software CD and one week ago the recorded GTA2 (Grand Theft Auto 2) radio stations as MP3s were uploaded. Thanks!

Personally, I have used Rapidshare(.com) and Megashares/Megaupload, because of their continuous reliable service, but all their annoying advertisements, waiting for the download to start (wait time), the need of entering a 4 or 6 digit number and their general attitude made me research the field of decent one-click-Filehosters.

Here are seven file-hosters that convinced me

www.myfile.ch 100MB
fileho.com unlimited MB
www.mediafire.com 100MB (multiple uploads at the same time)
sharedzilla.com unlimited MB (not stated else)
~~mihd.net unlimited MB~~ * more below
bestsharing.com 125MB (3×125 simultaneously)
tornadodrive.com 50MB
useboost.com
divshare.com 100MB (multiple)
TinyLoad.com 300MB

So far my favorite one-click-filehoster are mediafire.comand divshare.com What is really convincing is the lack or the minimum of advertisements on the pages. No Pop-Ups etc. I am not really annoyed by one-two Google-ads here and there, but by a generally badly layout page with spam all over it.

For all that need even more one-click-filehosters, go visit the almighty wikipedia comparison chart

* they remove files like they want to. dodgy admins.
