And how many of the active part of them are registered on Facebook? I am not, and I never will.

Yep, so the Americans with their bubblegum accent should go back to British English. No-one forced them to split.

Fx should be pre-fixed with 'Special' or 'Sound' - this is the most known term for FX

You still mix up uppercase and lowercase letters.

There is no official statement that BB is wrong, but there is an official statement that FF is wrong.

The web browser is named after the animal, so why is it FF for "Fire Fox", but not for the Red Panda?

Yes, these people are wrong. There is no second "B" in Blackberry.

A "Donationcoder" (which would be Dr, not DR, of course!) is not an existing thing. A Firefox is.

I understand that some people use "FF" for "Fire Fox", but I don't actually understand why they call Firefox "Fire Fox". "Firefox" are not two words, it is one word for one animal: The Red Panda.

Stephen acknowledged that it's not FireFox here

-Darwin (February 03, 2010, 11:10 AM)

So why the second "F"?

I have NEVER seen Fx used anywhere as an acronym for Firefox.

Fx is actually the least used acronym for Firefox as most people shorten them to the first letter of each word, now even though Firefox is, in its own right, a singular word, it is separated by the 2 known fords, Fire and Fox, hence the more used term FF.

-Stephen66515 (February 03, 2010, 02:13 AM)

1. It's not FireFox.
2. FF is wrong.

Well, he is dead. He has been for more than 60 years now. Don't you think it is about time to stop thinking about "affected families" first? Since the end of the Reich, there were many more terror regimes all over the world. (Bush, cough.)
Tabooizing and satanizing Hitler makes him stay popular. I don't think there is any reasonable reason to do so for 60 more years. Do you?

It's Fx, not FF. I tried Opera several times (recently even on ReactOS), and I never understood what makes it so much better than everything else. To me, it is ugly bloatware.

Hehe, f0dder, that is one big mistake people make when talking about Left and Right. National socialism is, basically, patriotic socialism, yes. (So the antifascists should love it with all their "Capitalism sucks!!111" bs.)

Reviews should actually describe a product's features and not just say "OK, it has some features, but the main thing is: Whoa, this is great!!!111"...

I don't know if I should take a review which contains "It does not compare to other browsers, because it has so many options and is so much better and stuff" seriously.

Because you can do that in better browsers than that proprietary Opera thingy.

just be careful about what you install on your system.

-Darwin (January 31, 2010, 12:50 PM)

Right.

Registry cleaners are just like every other kind of "tuning software": Breaking things, basically. They require a certain knowledge of system internals (Sysinternals, lol), but anyone with such a knowledge does not actually need a tool for that.

You mean keyword in German? Ugly ugly ugly. What happens when you try to use one of those macros in a non-German locale?

You can perfectly go through the city without being hit by a car. Leaving the house doesn't imply death.
