Comodo IceDragon, somewhat related to Firefox and is based on such (reference @wikipedia) but without the current update in Firefox...
How bad is it? I'm too busy using IceDragon to know how bad Firefox' latest update is (as said by the rage?).

System Requirements

    Windows 7 / Vista / XP – 32/64 bit

Autofail for many B12ers, unfortunately. I'd go for it if it ran on Linux. This is an appropriate thread.

[Skyrunner]

My Linux Firefox can't autoupdate, so I have no idea whatcher guys all talking about. What's so bad about the most recent FF?

I use comodo dragon on Win7.

Bought one of those pre-paid gift debit cards to get myself some books and stuff. I've done this a few times already so I know how it works and all. Except this time two different services are saying that the data I've put in is incorrect, I've triple checked what it says on the card and everything was correctly written.

So what the fuck is wrong with it then?!?!?!

To make matters worse, the bank where I've bought it has closed down for the day meaning I have to go tommorrow to ask what the fuck did they fuck up.

My data on my nuzlocke got reset to an hour's worth of work after it became the biggest stress reliever I got right now

I have to go to "Academic Detention" today as a result of my missing 6 assignments in English.

The idea was, they put failing kids in the library for a few hours to catch up on work.

What actually happens is they lock the kids whose teachers don't accept late assignments in a room with the rowdy idiots and the grade school teachers for two hours. It's a waste of my time.

Stupid homework. My non-homework grades are great. My father's math teacher apparently gave no homework and a quiz every week. Wish more teachers were like that.

In the grim darkness of the future, there is only....Chess!

GWS seems determined to drive what's left of fan loyalty into the ground, by constantly greenlighting games no actual fan of 40k would ever play.

[Frumple]

... are they not even bothering to use the in-lore chess variation thing whose name I'm forgetting? I mean. At least with that you could play with the rules a little, tie it into existent lore and maybe actually appease fans... somewhat. But just... chess? Straight up, year 2000 chess? That is. Somewhat lazy.

I thought we were done with chess games back in like the early 2000s, late 90s. Or whenever deep blue or whatever it was came about. Why are we still making more?

English homework essay (counts as foreign language): "Express your opinion in 100 words". That is why I utterly despise my (mandatory) English classes.

Yesterday received the no-contact order from the school, plus a copy of the one my ex-friend received(same thing, word-for-word). First sentence had a blatant lie, claimed that the associate dean discussed counseling and other services with me. This did not happen. It also completely failed to give any reason as to why it happened in the first place. Made an appointment tomorrow with the associate dean to  get a copy of the actual complaint.

[Putnam]

The word "this" or "these" in "news" article titles makes me so freaking angry.

What's wrong with them?

"You won't believe what this woman said!"

"These hackers defaced the FBI website with liberal slogan "we need a slogan!""

Use the damn names. You're not indicating anything.

Are you goddamn kidding me. Really? No, really?

They should remake Chaos Gate and actually have a game I'd want to play.

So my leaking toilet turns out to be a way bigger deal than just replacing the floor seal.

No, apparently, the floor underneath the toilet is collapsing and/or rotting, making a new seal pretty much useless since it won't properly seal anyways, and the toilet is moving around and not even properly secured to the floor.

So it's looking like they're going to have to tear out the floor in my bathroom, possibly replace the toilet and the water line that feeds it (because apparently it doesn't turn off completely either!)

Fuck. People. That. Renovate. Their. Own. Homes. They rarely know what they're doing, save money by cutting corners and disguise a thousand dollar problem until it becomes a several thousand dollar problem years later.

Christ, I could live without a toilet. But the unimpeded smell of the sewer lines is not something I can live with. No way I'm going to take a shower in a 7x7 room that's filled with sewer gas.

At least I'm not on the hook for the bill. On the other hand, my landlord is about 2000 miles away so the hopes of this getting done expediently are slim.

Word to the wise for renters: when the owner says that they "don't normally hang out" in the space you're renting, be wary. It generally means they don't have the slightest clue that problems are coming and the problems that are there have probably swelled in size to become major fucking problems.

On the plus side, if I completely lose it, I can just vent sewer gas into the downstairs and blow all the spiders and myself to kingdom come.

[TD1]

The Arachnid overlords would only enjoy that.

Speaking of, there is a spider in the drain (Plughole) of the bath that, everytime you see it, scuttles out of sight.

Not strange in itself, right? But it. Has. Been. There. For. Days.

What is it eating?!?!?

[Eric Blank]

Perhaps nothing; spiders don't necessarily need to eat every day.
