By Giania • May 20th, 2008 • Category: Browsers

Hot: I have noticed that on two perfectly functional laptops (running Windows XP Pro) that when using Digg, Opera 9.27 crashes. Not just a hangup, or a page malfunction, but a full on Windows application error which forces me to end the process and restart the browser altogether. Having using Digg a fair amount in [...]

By Giania • Apr 30th, 2008 • Category: Recursion

Hot: Recently I picked up a purse from the local branch of the Goodwill. It was a small metal purse, with rounded sides and a beaded handle.
