You used an "autocomplete" service for your passwords. No, it's not "normal," but it greatly increases your risk.

My apologies. With something like 800 pages, it's hard to keep track of such things. I tend to type in a search and pray. :/

This is why you memorize passwords instead of saving them on your system.

1. Pictures in tabs. Yeah, I know, I'm crazy. 2. I was going to suggest tiles-over-backgrounds...but it appears that Frankell discovered that OD supports them already.

Of course. It's all a conspiracy - these same PC manufacturers are taking orders from the oil companies (plastics, don'tchaknow), who ultimately take orders from the Illuminati and Thirteen Swiss Rabbis (or was it twenty-one? I get so confused). It's different and new, and that makes it easy to find fault with. The average person doesn't understand the intricacies of RAM management, copyright protection, and the like. What they do understand is "requires better hardware to run." Th

Yes, Newegg is made of win and awesome. I actually put together this halfway-decent system for about $300 + tax and shipping. This is what I don't understand: Person A says that Program X is crap. When asked, Person A says that Program X is crap because it won't run on old hardware. When asked again, Person A says that their hardware can't run Program X. Third time around, Person A says they're happy with Program X-1 anyway. So what is it? If you want to run it but can't, that'

Wow. Some people are cheap bastards. I spent $40 for 2GB of RAM and another $40 for an el cheapo nVidia GeForce 8400GS. Is $80 for hardware upgrades really such a burden?

I had the same issue when running full-screen games. Seems OD would crash quietly in the background. I just stuck a little "Restart ObjectDock" icon on my screen where it'd be hidden by my clock...so of course it hasn't happened since. :LOL:

I'm a writer by trade, and worked for several years in the pen-and-paper game industry (D&D-style roleplaying, though I'm sure you all knew that). You would not believe how many people expect free stuff from gaming companies. Hardly a product can be announced without someone, somehow, making a case for a good portion of it to be released for free. These folks try to be clever. "It'll help new players," is the most common argument. They're lying, of course. These kinds of people are really just i

Mmmm...lads, it's further along than you might think. I'm all for it, as the centerpiece of a "digital home." I think Microsoft is taking a very long-term view of the market and technology and has a definite goal they're working towards.
