Did you know that Google owns the rights to all your searchs through chrome. Read your terms and conditions and see how Chrome sucks too. Firefox all the way.

No. The only only people that use IE are people that don't know anything about computers and think IE is the internet. Google Chrome FTW. (and soon ChromeOS

I asked my friend which internet provider he had. He said Internet Explorer.

I use Firefox, but still I don't think IE is a bad application.
Heck is way way better then AOL browser that believe it or not a lot of people still uses around here LOL.
I'm trying to get into Chrome , I really want to like it, especially since I love lightweight and faster applications opposite to large , bulky milestones of heavy duty OS integrated programs...., but somehow I find in lacking , don't know exactly what it is, but I just like the way I layed out favorites and stuff around here on Firefox and it's not worth to change it ....yet.
But yeah as a browser IE does a lot of things right ( tabs, favorites, add ons, customization, ) and it hasn't any trouble displaying any page I trow at it, while some obscure ones do have problems in other browsers and clearly go for " optimized for IE blah blah...".
It didn't happen in the past couple of years or so mind you, but a few times I got trouble loading some pages and I had to use IE instead of firefox.
So although I prefer firefox, it wouldn't be fair to say that IE sucks.
You can do worse than that. Just my 2 cents.

For browsing and the casual stuff most people do its fine. It isn't a bad browser. It just lacks in certain aspects that we care about. Firefox and Opera just have some of the stuff we want and use in our everyday lives. Plus it has an awesome amount of add-ons. The thread wasn't named correctly...
BTW, Firefox > Opera > IE > Chrome > Safari

IE is good for what it is: A means to get you on the internet. Which, in hindsight, should be the only thing that matters.
For everything else, of course, it fails in comparison to the "better" browsers out there. We all like shiny things.

used IE only as my last resort

if i just need a webpage to render fast, i use opera

If not, i might use chrome as my backup browser(leave the best for the last

For everyday matter, i use firefox, if only they can do something about how much memory FF use, i will die a happier dude.

@boxshot below me: same here, the curse of forgetting to get portable apps

Did you know that it's incredibly simple to disable Google's tracking? And even if you don't, it's not like anything will happen. What, you think Chrome is spyware?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
