Safari. I downgraded from the Developer 4 beta because it honestly took 5-10 minutes to load a https page, and forgot why I upgraded from Safari 3, Safari 3 will randomly stop loading all pages without apparent reason. it will appear as though it trying to, but let it sit there for an hour and the page will still not load. forcing me to kill the process and try to get back to where I was.

I also HATE when people say that. Firefox on mac sucks harder than IE does. Mozilla does not know how to handle memory on mac, and it is shit slow loading anything.

Firefox is great on windows, yes, which is why I think people suggest it.

I once thought Firefox on the Mac was awesome, until Safari 3 came out. I've never used Firefox outside of the Windows OS since then.

In my experience there is rarely a pure right and pure wrong.
Maybe you shouldn't interpret it so literally, there are obviously subtleties to such a statement.
I knew you were going to say that. I know it was correct for its context. Still irks me though. :/

Seeing as how Tural couldn't even say he didn't like the new forum when he was Staff, and I just told SourceGuy that he was *** retarded, I'm probably done. I'm not worried about it, though. Maybe once Halomods is handed back over to someone decent, then I might post again. After I get banned/RC'd, I'm not signing into any other accounts... I'm done with whatever this is becoming.

------------------------------------------

I am posting from MY OLD computer. The Reason why is what the rant is about. First...Newegg, ( which is where I is getting My stuff from)called me out on numbers of the card I used...called up the card company. Error on there part. I move on...I ordered the fastest plan( next day shipping ). Next day I get an error. Stopped because they didn't like my PO. Box. Called card company. They told me it wasn't them but newegg. There call center opens on Monday.

I shouldn't be posting this on my Old computer...but I am. Grrrrrr.

Firefox works wonders on my Mac.
It's still the best.

In my opinion, IE < Safari < Opera < Firefox.

I am more than willing to archive the forum's current state, it just depends on the amount of data there is. My maximum storage capacity right now is 600GB of information.

I didn't even watch the superbowl this year, but I heard my parents screaming at the top of their lungs upstairs, so I figured the Steelers won.

I don't see the problem. We had that for a while.. When you plowed your driveway the snow on your lawn would be higher than your cars and sometimes you, depending how big you are.

It's melting away now though.. It's warm.. No more snow fall atm.
