Its an internet addiction problem. Potentially the brain might be hardwired to respond to certain stimuli. In a sense, internet search, blogging, microblogging, forums, social networking, and social gaming such as MMOs can be very addicting, and all are pretty big in China.

"BEIJING (AFP) -

A court in eastern China has sentenced four people to up to three-and-a-half years in prison for selling bootleg versions of Microsoft's Windows XP software, court officials said Friday.

State media described the case against Hong Lei, who created the "Tomato Garden" version of Windows XP -- and three others as the country's biggest ever on software copyright infringement."

Re: Computer Talk!!

Wow! I did not realize this thread has been dead for nearly 4 months!!

Question gents..Which browser is best compatible with SDF and other Vbulletin forums.? I've had trouble with Firefox lately..It's slow with this site and all the photos sometimes don't load. IE8 is better but when scrolling there is a wave effect. There are other things I don't like about IE8..

So should I switch to still yet another browser? Any clues??

Re: Computer Talk!!

There are 3 browsers I've tried so far; IE is reliable but slow, it takes you a cup of coffee before everything is loaded. Google's browser (Oop, I forget its name) always crashes. Firefox is still the best for me. But recently, the picture threads always display half pictures (as you mentioned in another thread). I wonder if this is the fault of the browser or the site. By the way, do you have the latest version of Firefox? Mine is 3.5.5

Does anyone else miss the good old days where CPU quality could be measured by a number? How the hell do you choose a CPU nowadays?
