I click delete all including add ons. But its obviously not working because anytime I go to type something in the address bar it yanks up 6 months worth of links.

Have you tried rebooting your computer?

Just install IE8, and all of your worries will be gone. Microsoft sent out a special code that disables people's ability to clear their History files in IE7 order make them upgrade.

Anyhow. I have a dilemma. Do I run out into the street in my PJs to grab madworld from my glovebox? Or do I begrudgingly get dressed to go 30 feet? I will end up doing nothing knowing me

 You actually wear PJs? Are they footy kind?

gamingeek said:

Well, they aint PJs, but they aint quite jogging bottoms either. Its breezy out there!

So IE8 is the proper version is it? No bugs or any crap, no testing? What's the word on this anonymous browser they said they were doing?

It's IE8 RC1 (Release Candidate 1), so it is the proper version, but it may still have some minor bugs here and there. So far, it's working great with all of the sites I've tried. This site works about 10X faster with it too. The anonymous browser is a setting in IE8, I think, but I haven't tried it yet.

The only issue I've had with IE8 on this site is the Places, Profile, and Actions menus don't always pop-down like the should. However, they work fine when I use the IE8's Compatiblity Mode option (located in the URL bar).

What does the compatitbility mode do?

IE8 has considerably different functionality than IE7 that makes it work much better. However, some sites that were designed with IE7 in mind may not function exactly the same with the new browser, so Microsoft put in a Compatiblity mode option that makes IE8 work more like IE7 for those sites. It's still much, much faster than IE7, though, and should be considerably more secure too.

You have vista right? Try doing the delete history/files thang on IE8 and check it for me

Yes, I have Vista. And yes, IE8's Delete Browsing History option works fine.

Use Opera bitches!

I do use Opera. It's my main browser. I'm testing out IE8 RC1 because some sites don't work properly with Opera, and I know a lot of people who prefer using IE instead. So far, it's waaay better than IE7, and may even be better than Opera too ; but it's too early to tell.

Opera doesn't work with my security suite. Plus it seems to store everything ever in the history of your net browsing.

What security suite do you use? I use McAfee Security Center (it's free to Comcast subcribers), and Sandboxie. Opera works well with both.

Norton embeds itself in IE7.

IGN on BROKEN SWORD DS vs Wii

Interestingly, while Broken Sword: The Director's Cut on Wii suffers from the juxtaposition of old and new content – with technical issues, from aging assets to low-quality audio, undermining the overall experience – this DS edition feels far more cohesive. Thanks to the diminutive DS screens, there are very few visual discrepancies across content. Likewise, Revolution's decision to remove the vocal track from this handheld iteration, while likely to irk fans, immediately negates complaints concerning audio quality and ensures consistency throughout. Sadly, that does mean handheld players are lumbered with maudlin midi orchestrations, no substitute for Barrington Pheloung's beautifully evocative original score. However, while it's equally disappointing that this DS version loses the vocal quirks of its two protagonists – performances that added much to the original game's appeal – we're, glad to wave goodbye to much of Broken Sword's outdated emphasis on poorly-delivered cultural stereotypes.

Closing Comments
Surprisingly, the relative limitations and idiosyncrasies of Nintendo’s handheld have combined to deliver a Broken Sword experience that shines, in many ways, more so than its console counterpart. Sure, it’s a shame to lose George and Nico’s thoroughly charming vocals but, devoid of distracting technical inconsistencies and offering a game style that’s arguably better suited to the hardware, this DS version of the Director’s Cut is a more consistent, and ultimately, consistently enjoyable package. Compared to the entertaining but stunted GBA outing, it’s a far more faithful experience and Revolution’s expertly-implemented new content serves to accentuate what’s already a masterclass in videogame storytelling. Admittedly, the game’s slow pace and methodical progression won’t appeal to everyone. However, submit to its refreshingly un-condescending whims and it’s easy to get swept away by an experience that still retains its power to surprise and entertain today. It’s smart, cerebral and delightfully infectious – not bad for a 13-year-old game, eh?

Ugh, I will take vocals, orchestrated music and better animation over small screens that dont show the flaws or whatever. If anyone can spot this for £22 or less let me know!

I can't tell you how pissed I am at Nintendo this month.  There were 5 games I wanted this month. I got 2 of them.  I've convinced myself I don't need Pikimin (never actually played the original).  And I still have Rune Factory and Broken Sword to get.  I have no idea how to afford them.  Man whoring just doesn't pay like it used to.

 Don't buy Pikmin, Pikmin 2 is the one to get!
