    For one out-of-box Opera is 10 times faster then out-of-box Firefox which really has nothing until you put like 20 extensions on it to get similar functionality, and then Firefox eats like 200MB of RAM, and takes forever to load. And what i really hate is everything i change in FF needs a restart.

    Just install both and compare. If you really prefer slow and IE like browsing, with some twisted over-extended functionality that you get with extensions that you use. Then by all means use it.

    For example the bugmenot extension for FF is really great, and saves you time when bypassing sites, but do you use that 100 times a day to make a difference? or do you just prefer your pages opened 10 times faster with Opera, couse this is what you will be doing most of the time and not bypassing sites? and also Opera has a bugmenot widget too. So compare again.

    This is my last post on this matter, couse this is yet again gonna go flame way.

    Meh, skins are skins. I like it, its better then before thats for sure. And one of the things i reallly like is Dragonfly and startup time. Even IE7 and Safari are faster then FF, not to mention Opera beats them all. And everything else.. But its for you alone to judge.

    Ohh and by the way. Silverlight 2 works on Opera now. You will see ****loads of RIA's on MS platform out very soon.

    Other programs bypass UAC (eg uTorrent, Nero etc). In my PC the only installed program that doesn't bypass the UAC is ApexDC.

    What is the point of UAC in your system then? if you use almost all programs that bypass it. Why dont you just turn off UAC?!

    Voted yes.

    If there is no technical difficulties why not?!

    uTorrent does not pre-allocate files by default (i think- myabe i just switched it off) and it works great. Sometimes i have like for instance 4GB free and i start downloading a 7GB game and are in a hurry or something, better to download 4GB while i return back to free more space then to not download at all.

    edit: maybe its not the same thing. maybe uTorrent does not use sparse files, but to turn off pre-allocation is a good enough feature to have.

    Whatever you did, now ApexDC won't run in Virtualization mode on Vista while UAC is enabled.

    That's sort of a bad thing since i don't want to allow any user program to write anything in my Program Files.

    Hope you'll get it right in the future!

    I'm not going to imply on the level of your comprehension of Windows Vista, or any home based Windows, but its not logical to have such settings. Applications you install by default install to Program Files folder, its actually very recommended to install any programs there as it has custom security policy over any user created folder.

    So you would want to search for in example 30 items at once?

    Hubs only let you search once in some cases up to 300 seconds or even more. And yes we need to take into account public hubs.

    Besides on private hubs with no search intervals it will give a huge strain on hubsoftware.

    TCP, UDP need to be same port number and also forwarded correctly.

    If you have dynamic IP, launch Apex got to conneciton settings and update IP, close Apex and open again then search is working.

    OR just get DyDNS or NO-IP account and add a static domain name to your dynamic IP, which will permanently fix your problem.

    Ja koristim Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 sa Vistom i nemam problema sa ničim. Cijeli Internet Security ti možda malo pretjerano, jer ti pola stvari netreba, Windows Firewall ti i više nego dovoljno. Ali ako već hočes koristit sve to, Kaspersky Firewall ti najvjerojatnije blokira određene TCP i UDP portove.

    U ApexDC++ pogledaj koje portove koristiš i odblokiraj u Kaspersky-u

    Nice idea, Zlob.

    But. IPB does not have anything like that integrated, if your thinking about dynamic slection of a proper header for a proper resolution.

    One way to do it is to make 3 or more skins, each same as the other, just with different header's, so a user can select a proper one for his resolution. But which one would we make default then, and are users gonna notice the selection.

    So, the proper solution to this problem would be 100% fluid design.

    On a 4mbit connection you won't get that. 480KB/s is the max, so a little below that. If you're on 5mbit then 600KB/s is max, which makes me wonder what Seeker's connection speed is sold as. If it's 6mbit @ 530KB/s it's not bad but a little lower than I'd expect.

    Im on 5mbit (5megabits = 640kilobytes) i get only 530kbytes, so i guess thats bad.

    4mbit = 512kbytes

    5mbit = 640kbytes

    6mbit = 768kbytes

    I dunno why everyone is treating Vista like some brand new state of the art OS, its just XP on steroids, vastly improved, nothing more. It will act like XP, feel like XP, only difference it will look better. All of your hardware form 3 years back will work. Whats the big deal. Switch youll love it.

    ohh and btw. why would you need autopatcher. just get an OEM vista, its "genuine" so all your updates and ultimate extras will be available.

    also: if you really want to test your RAM and CPU id suggest you try using sidebar to the fullest (using 45MB of RAM currently, i can live with that) and DreamScene backgrounds (bitching my CPU to a constant usage of 40% both cores, now with that i cant live, that **** is just too much LOL!)
