Yea, I heard of netbux a while back at another forum....but could not sign up because I didn't have a paypal account. My friend signed up for netbux a long time ago and stop using it because he couldn't stand it anymore. Oh well, I'm glad I didn't sign up for it

Which Is Faster Broadband, Dsl Or Cable
allabout42 replied to football123213's topic in Science and Technology
Well, I have cable right now and I'll have to say cable (according to the ads on television) is three times faster than DSL. On the contrary though, my cable had not been very dependable lately. My cable goes out once or twice every month now . -

Bearshare.. just like kazaa but even better
allabout42 replied to ladyspanky's topic in Science and Technology
I never have tried bearshare before, but I have used limewire and Kazaa. I think limewire is better than Kazaa because Kazaa has so many currupted files and adware (unless you have Kazaa Lite). My expierence with limewire is very positive so far. I would recommend Limewire to anyone. If anyone wants to download limewire, heres some links: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ or http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ -

Firefox Or Internet Explorer that is the question...
allabout42 replied to Judman's topic in The Internet
Firefox is better than Internet Explorer in many ways. Internet Explorer is very outdated for its time. Firefox offers an excellent popup blocker and seems to be 3 times faster than internet explorer. For those of you who do not have firefox v1.0.4, you can download from here: https://www.hightail.com/ Also Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up: 1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit 'Enter'. Scroll down and look for the following entries: network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading. 2. Alter the entries as follows: Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" by 'Double-Clicking' that line. Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" by double-clicking that line. Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like "30". This means it will make 30 requests at once. 3. Lastly 'Right-Click' anywhere and select 'New' --> 'Integer'. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. If you're using a broadband/DSL connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!!
