antiaircraft Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I can talk to computers in many of their wide and varied dialects. Do I count as multilingual? :P Hey AA, do you work for FF or something? The way you talk about it makes it sound like you do. If by "work for" you mean "get paid by" then no, AA doesn't work for FF. He's just something of a coding and development aficionado. Yep, Firefox is a free and open source software project, built by volunteers around the world, myself included (although I've only really contributed to a handful of code lines). While many of the project's lead developers are employed and paid by Mozilla, the majority of the work is done by the aforementioned volunteers. Oh, and Ryan: aficionado n 1: a fan of bull fighting 2: a serious devotee of some particular music genre or musical performer -- From WordNet ® 2.0 Erm... yeah. xD I like Chrome because it's simple. I don't need, or want, lots of bells and whistles. So it's perfect for me. Spritzie, I agree with you (of course) on the fancy bells and whistles. While I have no beef with Chrome users (Chrome being based on the free and open source Chromium project after all), I should point out that Firefox works just fine without any bells and whistles too. :yes: But my favorite part of chrome is...it launches really quickly. So I don't have to wait like....the extra 30 seconds for FF :laughingsmiley: Firefox takes 30 seconds to load for you? o_O Now there's something to give the people working on startup time a fit. There's definitely something else interfering there. Quote
Domino Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Welll....30 seconds might be a bit of an exagguration. On my MacBook, there's a definite difference between launching Chrome and launching FF. Realistically, maybe 10-15 seconds. :D However, on my piece-of-junk desktop computer, it can take 5 MINUTES to launch. Although I have a feeling that is more the computer's fault than it is FF's. :D Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Hmm... even on my extremely low-powered netbook, Firefox cold-launches consistently within the ten second window. So I'd still chalk it up to another program interfering. Either that, or Linux is just that awesome. :P Quote
Devil's Angel Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 DOUBLE A!!!! *tackle pounce* ^w^ I hath pounced youssss. <3 Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Erm. Hi. :P I see your eggs are getting along well. :yes: Quote
Devil's Angel Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Yeah! I put them in a dragon dump area and they've been doing wonderfully since then. =3 I'm quite pleased with how they've grown so far. Though they're still far away from being adults. Quote
Tyler. Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I should sleep what am I saying? I'm Tyler, I don't sleep sleep is for the weak :P Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Heh, I'm not sure if my old Dragon Cave account is still around... I had quite an impressive scroll as I recall. I do hope that your dragons grow well! Funny, I only recognise two of those species... Edit: Tyler, what is this 'sleep' you speak of? Quote
Tyler. Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I haven't touched Drag cave in forever sleep is.... I don't even know Quote
Domino Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Sleep is overrated. Probably one of the only awesome benefits of being a vampire. Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 The other awesome benefit being unquestionably neat hair, I presume? xD Quote
Devil's Angel Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 So long as you're not those fake excuses for a vampire that Twilight has made popular I don't care what kind of vampire you are. *hates Twilight with a passion* Quote
Tyler. Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 as long as you don't sparkle you're aweesome I think I'm gonna pull an all-nighter Quote
Domino Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Vegetarian Vampires are lame anyway. You kind of lose the....vampireness. :laughingsmiley: Of course. The hair would be a lovely benefit. *flips hair* :P Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Heh, I'm reminded of an Eddie Izzard discourse on the subject of vampires and the like. xD Let me dig it up... Quote
Sofa Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I kind of like the idea of a veggie vampire sinking their fangs into a tomato... I've mercifully escaped anything and everything to do with Twilight, and am happy in my ignorance, from the sounds of it I'd hate it :/ Quote
-Ryan Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 -is on grandpa's comp- @Spritzie Whoa, your avvie/siggy is awesome! :O ... All I read was something about a veggie vampire? :eh: Quote
Spritzie Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 While I have no beef with Chrome users (Chrome being based on the free and open source Chromium project after all), I should point out that Firefox works just fine without any bells and whistles too. :yes: Firefox takes 30 seconds to load for you? o_O Now there's something to give the people working on startup time a fit. There's definitely something else interfering there. :laughingsmiley: Theo, we promise, it's nothing against you. I just don't want to have to mess with it. Chrome is perfect upon download. :yes: And on my old desktop, FF would take ages to launch as well. I should sleep what am I saying? I'm Tyler, I don't sleep sleep is for the weak :P Sleep is for the old and tired. -is on grandpa's comp- @Spritzie Whoa, your avvie/siggy is awesome! :O Yay! You can finally see them. :D Thank you. Go check Anisha's as well. Quote
-Ryan Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Oh Tyler... xD I did. That looks awesome too. -nodnod- Quote
Spritzie Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Isn't nice seeing images, isn't it? :P You need to bug your dad again about fixing the settings on the home computer. Quote
-Ryan Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Yes, yes it is. xD I will. I also need to bug him about allowing Ikarima. Just logged on for first time in 2 weeks. I've been pillaged 8 times... <.<' Quote
Spritzie Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 :laughingsmiley: That's horrible. You definitely need to have him to it. For here, if nowhere else. *nods* Quote
-Ryan Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 He also has yet to install Microsoft word, and then he gets annoyed when I tell him I need to use my mom's laptop to type something for school... xD Quote
Spritzie Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 That's no fun. Though maybe he expects you to use WordPad, since it's like the bare bones version of Word. But I think it's standard on most computers. Just keep bugging him. Quote
