To heck with trying to fix IE

use another browser, like opera, mozilla or firefox, and you won't have this DNS problem, along with several other annoyances

Re: To heck with trying to fix IE

Chalk it up for one more reason not to use that piece of junk they call IE. Long live Firefox(mozilla)!!!

Kinda like Verislime

But what does "squiffy" mean?

Is there any way to outlaw this kind of abuse on the internet? Verislime took "forever" to be taken down. Are Yeah.com's actions, uh... actionable?

Com.org... HeeHeeHee... That's actually kind of funny. Not something that I would think up or type in to my address bar.

Nothing others haven't registered...

I see nothing wrong with registering com.org - cnet has com.com registered, and com.net is registered to Mnematics (that was the first paid BBS system I was on - on an NEC APC III, circa 1982). It's in the use of the name, not the name itself.

true, but you know, perhaps when they give the name out, it should be on a rubber band if it is used for this kind of trick.

Re: Make browsing in Mozilla as fast as in IE

mozilla is way faster than IE on all of the computers I own.

When you add it's current speed and the time you save because you don't have to close the pop-ups, then the time difference becomes enormous.

I won't mention the built in download manager (although still a little buggy it works better than expected), the fact that you have to install of all the extensions yourself (which prevents you from installing spyware such as gator... I mean, "legally installed software for keeping your passwords"), the tab browsing, the built-in google toolbar, the easy to use interface...

I'll just post a link to the features when I get around to it.

Firefox > IE

Try a browser that uses elements of IE(you can go to any website) and is not a "shell"(it uses it's own elements for the actual browser) and does a hell of a lot more than the rest.

com.com

CNet has owned »www.com.com for a while as well. Guess it's ok though they use it for legitimate reasons. All it does is reroute to »www.cnet.com.
