Well spotted MarkR. I had become bored with GAOTD offering music and video software that I had not looked today.
I downloaded, unzipped, read the readme.txt, followed the instructions (unlike me generally :-P) and requested my free key, which arrived within seconds.
I have tried Comodo on a different PC but had some issues with it so I shall wait until I am not tired and can concentrate before installing this. There is always a learning curve for both the user and the software where firewalls are concerned.
Oh. I use FF 3.0.10 with Noscript and was able to watch the video fine on that page. It is a bit of an eye-opener! :-O
Yet 😉
Anyone tried a blind flash from USB stick yet? – and no I’m not trying it, I will stick to the latest releases thanks.
I’m not so sure, I don’t think BIOS upgrades are incremental. I believe that one replaces the other so there should be no issue downgrading if you really feel that you are missing a ‘feature’.
My reference is the Acer Aspire One forum, where several people have both upgraded and downgraded BIOS versions successfully.
Do not take my word as gospel though! Different motherboards will have different characteristics.
I have version 10,0,22,87 installed, the latest according to Adobe.
I just see a white box with FF in XP with scripts allowed and AdBlockPlus disabled on that page.
OOOKKKK, so does anyone believe that the U.S. government will allow the system to fail? It wasn’t actually designed for cars but for navigation of ships, planes and even missiles. Without those satellites functioning even mobile phones would cease to work, so no calling anyone to ask directions either!
Lighthouse builders would see an upturn in business though 🙂@ Alfihar
I have had my NC10 less than 2 weeks, and your comment there is encouraging. Not that I hadn’t read similar before buying anyway, obviously. My NC10 seems to be the last one sold here for several miles in any direction from where I live, I hunted at several shops all out of stock, in fact this is an ex-display one which had been in a glass display case. It appears to be one of the first batch, I believe later ones came with extra rear feet (?). I’m quite happy, that doesn’t bother me.I have defected from the Acer Aspire One (8.9″, XP, HD, upgraded to the max 1.5Gb RAM) for one main reason – screen size. There is a superb Aspire One forum, as many of you will have seen, but it does have a good deal of discussion about problems! Hence my not ‘upgrading’ to the 10″ Aspire One, and choosing this instead.
My Sammy just seems quicker. I am not really sure why as they, as most netbooks are, such similar spec. The Atheros wireless card is the same but where my One would keep dropping and reconnecting my wireless connection this one very rarely does, web pages appear to me to load faster too. I was using the latest driver on the One BTW. Everything seems a little snappier on the NC10, whether it’s down to build quality or not I’m not sure. This is a comparison with the Acer using 1.5 Gb RAM and my NC10 using the stock 1Gb so far too!
An almost complete lack of bloatware was a pleasant find, just McAfee and Acrobat reader to get rid of as I recall, I replaced those with Avast and Foxit Reader.
All in all I am very pleased to have made the change. The larger screen at the same resolution makes things just perfectly clear for me, as opposed to dreading tiny text which my poor old eyes sometimes struggled with. The One’s keyboard had rave reviews but this is a step up again I feel. Adding RAM to the One is ‘fun’, having to dismantle the whole machine to access the single slot! I did dismantle it 3 times, but that’s another story.
So, I have a nicer machine to use, which seems more reliable, with over double the battery life. Perfect.
This is a cool forum, I have used several tips here, and learnt a lot about this handy machine, so a big thanks to all contributors and a bigger one to the forum mods and to Jez, it’s creator I believe? 🙂
