Yeah it's sweet. I bet the new IE in beta probably is similar to Firefox. I might check that out. Here is a review I saw on it. Looks like it is getting many of the features Firefox has. Click here to see the review on IE 7

Oh yeah.... Towards the end there is a Ser. Yes that's me. Maybe next time we can get some more PGoH online and in chat to ask questions. This was the first HoC for UO I had been to in a while. I forgot how fun it actually was.

Never played any Pokemon but I gotta say Zelda and Metroid rocked! Come on who doesn't like the little pointy eared hero Link shooting swords out to vanquish evil, and Samus the spandex wearing gun toting alien vanquishing chick from Metroid!

Couldnt really find a forum just for computer apps but figured this was the closest thing. This was posted on Slashdot For those that don't know FIrefox is a great alternative to Internet Explorer. I personally switched about 2 years ago now and haven't looked back. The tabbed browsing, which allows you to display multiple pages, rocks!! Oh yeah...while they have had issues with security as is mentioned above I can assure you its less than IE has had and issues get fixed much faster than IE (sometimes within a day!!) Anyway if you'd like to check it out click the link ----> I want Firefox

Any chance we can get a field added for X-Fire under peoples profiles like there is for AIM, ICQ etc...

I dont play WoW but hopefully this helps you.... Probably would be best if you post in the WoW forums too!

I want to put a music file into Flash so that the file begins playing even though the song is not completly loaded on the remote machine. I know it can be done cause we have all gone to web pages where a song or movie begins playing prior to the entire file being recieved..... Anyone have knowledge of how to do this?

I gotta ask....why is this thread marked with a thumbs down.....turn it around Bal!

I need to mess aroung with my TiVO more and learn some of the hacks. Then I can just burn the stuff so I could "visit" Bal and let him watch his missed episodes.... Someday when I get the cash I'm just going to build my own media PC though. No more monthly fees for cable listings like TiVO has. Network to your hearts content too. Can you say streaming BSG over The Honor Empire!

I like the new look of the borders for the forums. Not so sure about the colors yet but the borders more than make up for it.

Just Posted to the UO.com FYI page

Just caught the pilot episode of Over There. It was pretty good. It was also pretty graphic. I hope that future episodes are just as intense as this one was.

[20:58] <Brekkee> *Ser* I would like to know if there are any plans to add items that tamers would equip on pets other than barding. Special claws or warhorse shoes. Just something to spruce things up since a pet is a tamers weapon. [20:58] <Cerdith> Hi Ser. [20:58] <Cerdith> I can't even guess how many times we've discussed wearables for pets ... [20:58] <Cerdith> How many times we've written up proposals and even mocked things up. It's a subject that's very near and dear to some of our hearts .. [20:59] <Cerdith> It's not something that made it into Mondain's Legacy. And of course, I can't promise that it will ever make it into the game. But I can tell you we've talked a lot about it.

This was just said in the Straics HoC for UO:ML Looks like we might be able to preorder tommorow....or at the very least see the pre-order gift.

This is what kills me.... What is this guy thinking!!

Yeah saw some tihngs on it. I really wanna know if its all it claims to be..... I didnt like Trillian all that much and Gaim has issues with other clients at times. This would be a nice alternative and to actually use it within a game.....well thats a bonus that seems too good to be true.

Anyone use or is using X-Fire? Looks like its like it might be kinda cool since it works within games which means no windowed mode which is appealing. If you have experience with this client please let's hear what ya have to say!! For those who are interested as I am; check out this link: X-Fire

I'd rather not. My two are handful enough!

Polygamy no fun, admits Ethiopian By Mohammed Adow BBC, Ethiopia Ayattu Nure Ayattu Nure: Do as I say, not as I do An Ethiopian man with 11 wives and 77 children is urging people not to follow his example and is giving advice on family planning and contraception. After seeing his fortune disappear under the competing demands of his enormous family, Ayattu Nure, 56, even urges people not to get married. "I want my children to be farmers but I have no land, I want them to go to school but I have no money," he says. But his eldest son has not heeded Mr Ayattu's advice and he has three wives. Seven of Mr Ayattu's wives live in huts around his compound, which are in urgent need of renovation. Another four live in huts on the other side of the valley in Giwe Abossa village, 300km from the capital, Addis Ababa in Arsi region. He says he cannot remember all his children's names but tries to work out who they are from their mothers and which huts they live in. Mr Ayattu says he used to be rich and wanted to share his wealth around, which is why he took so many wives. But now he struggles to feed them all. "I feel like killing myself when I see my hungry children whom I cannot help," Mr Ayattu says. His wives have given birth to more than 100 children but 23 have died. However, he blames Ethiopia's government for not doing more to help him look after all his children. People see me as a funny man, but there is no fun in my condition Ayattu Nure "I know I have done wrong by marrying many wives and begetting many children but I think I deserve help from the government." But his biggest complaint at the moment is with the authorities of the local school which 40 of his children now attend. They want photographs for each of his children's files, which will further deplete his meagre resources. He says that he tries to share his time evenly between his wives and children, adding that although quarrels and squabbles are common, they try to solve their problems amicably. "People see me as a funny man, but there is no fun in my condition. I am a desperate man struggling to survive," he says. Although Mr Ayattu's eldest son, Dagne Ayattu, does not have a job, at the age of 33, he has seven children and is about to marry his fourth wife. But he says he will not have as many children or wives as his father.

I swear this heat is rediculous. Normally I like it hot but with this humidity I feel like I am walking through water not air! Could some of our Canadian neighbors to the north send down a blast of your cool air please!!!! Anyone on these boards from the midwest? I heard it was even worse there. (I'm in the northeast)

Moved to discussions as this is not an announcement.

Taken off Stratics From what I saw of a post Devs made about preorder gift I think the Mondain's Steed will be it. It looked to be armored in the "fuzzy" hint picture of what the pre-order gift was. Below is the picture that was posted on stratics...hopefully the link will work for some time to come. Sets of armor might be cool. It will definitly give collectors something to shoot for.

Right now he's evil admin Balandar! Seriously though I think a lot of us are waiting for D&D Online. It seems to promise the ability to solo, the ability to group hunt and the "true" roleplay experience that many remember from the old pen and paper days.
