Get Opera 10 or Firefox. Both rock.

Also, change the taskbar icons to small and Win7 doesn't look quite so...weird.

And because of random:

And also hot Samus

i've already got firefox installed and running. ie would only allow me to view the homepage and the articles off of there, wouldn't let me see the forums. changed to small icons, muuuuuch better. thanks. it'll take a few days to figure this all out. i haven't even tried screwing around with the new features on excel yet.

Oh, one other major annoyance you might need to fix:Every fresh install of Win7 I've ever seen has the power off button (in the start menu) set the computer to suspend or hibernate, NOT actually power off. You have to go through a stupid drop-down menu to turn off. You can change it in the taskbar options under Start Menu > Power Button Action. I never use hibernate (seriously, I've never used it...ever). Stupid backward button.

Precisely why it's ok to get more than one. There really is a limit to how bad it can make you feel. One might give you a wicked case of the granny apple splatters, so what's two going to do? Make slightly more volume of mud butt? At that point, what's the difference?
numbnuts240 wrote:5 bucks a pop? wtf is up with that s***?
This is only what I've heard. But I'm pretty sure that's without fries/drink. I think I'll just have water and spend $10 (still a relatively large amount for one fast food meal).

it's a link to a picture, definitely not tub girl. it's heavenly. this isn't a ploy to try and gross you out, that pic makes me want to rip out the grass in my yard, hose down the dirt, and make sexy time with the first biped i can get my c*** into.

I clicked that link Tita, know what I saw... 403 Forbidden... You fail.

Oh and I'm drooling over that chicken sandwich now F you guys. I effing hate KFC, ever since they took the trans fat out the food became disgusting and then they raised their prices to make up for all the people who stopped buying it.

I'm glad someone else knows what upper decking is. Nice Tito.

Hi all, My friends just bought a house and now wanna throw theme parties.

First is Goldeneye Party, All girls are bond girls all guys are Bond, everyone has to drink out of a Martini Glass regardless of what you are drinking, then couples get to suck against each other in Goldeneye on N64. Time to find a thrift store tux.



My party is going to be a t-shirt Bombing Party. Bring your favorite color spray paint and some shirts and jackets and stuff and BIER!

not a good idea to invite me to a sloppy party at some strange person's house. if i don't personally know them, and i'm hammered, bad things can happen.

Sounds completely miserable if you're drinking beer. You'd have to refill after every gulp. And I thought a lot of the parties I went to got crowded around the keg...

never mind that, imagine how much alcohol is going to be spilled out of those glasses. that's just straight up alcohol abuse

I never spill, so I didn't even think about this. But you're definitely right, most people would slosh that all over the place.

My solution: bring your own pitcher, fill pitcher, relocate to seating/standing area, fill martini glass, consume, repeat (if moving to a new area of the party, finish drink from martini glass and transport all beer in pitcher).
