Karma to anyone who can link me to that software that lets you select what programs you want to install and it will do it all at once for you.

Help me out here, why doesn't GMail open in Opera anymore? Anyone else had this? The HTML version opens, but it's like being back in 1995.

So yeah, the new Firefox...

The little white information popup on the lower left could be useful under certain circumstances, but it's a bit distracting on dark websites. CBA to dig around for it, though.

If I remember right, you can't 'legally' run Mac OS on a PC, they don't provide licensing but, obviously that minor detail is omitted.

If they said "legally" then they'd have a point, fact is, you can.

Who would actually want to though..

FFLink: There is.; +1,380|6951|Devon, England

So I made the switch from Opera (because it's a piece of shit) to Chrome (because it's my favourite) and then to Firefox (Because Chrome crashes at least once for every 5 minutes of use (no exageration)) and I'm pretty happy now I've made it all minimalistic.

But I have one issue. All the text seems really... Shitty. See here:

Really subtle, but really annoying. Also, I've just noticed text on this quick-post thing looks really crappy, too.

Ideas?

I've disconnected from the LAN so I can use the internet (iPhone tethering) as there was a conflict between the two.
Haven't checked but he has a shitload of tv shows, games etc. And quite possibly the most complete collection of donkey/midget/clown porn known to man.
