Alnitak If you are using this addon: http://tinyurl.com/6yfhcwn the developer is delicious itself, so I guess they are getting lot of complaints and they should fix it in a few days :)

Alnitak According to a comment on Delicious bookmarks addon page it's because they changed the delicious site with a new version, so I guess you have to wait for an update. When extensions stop working I always check the add-on firefox page to see if somebody else...

Alnitak It's normal that you see your PC slower after installing the antivirus because it needs time to set up or check the system. When I start my pc I need to wait one minute or two as well... But if it bothers you, you should uninstallthem but I suggest you take...

I am a fan of any attempt to write, but sometimes I just have to stop and say this is bad writing! I'm not talking about grammar or vocabulary, I'm talking about writing that just wastes the reader's time. My friend always asks me...

Alnitak Uhm... we could also say that if hundreds of people like a book that doesn't necessarily mean that it's "good writing" and vice versa a good book could also been rejected from an editor because they know nobody would buy it, even if it's good. A very famous...

Alnitak In my opinion a bad writer is someone who lacks both creativity and writing style. An author can have a great imagination and write about beautiful/smart stories or have an original way to describe things and make you see things you weren't able to see. If...

Alnitak Not all books are entertainment, but that's a different matter, and I agree with you that the creator should have the right to choose the price. It is also true, though, that for years they had the power to raise the price little by little without improving...

Alnitak I'm against piracy when it's considered the only way to get books, music, etc... there are too many kids that thinks that's how they get music (and now books) withouth having the notion of the damage they're doing to the musicians/authors but I can't deny that...

Alnitak Hi, if you want to buy a Kindle for the poor light on your way home, you should know that e-readers have a kind of monitor that is not backlit and usually it looks a little bit grey (such as some types of books with darker paper) so you need the same external...

This game of all genres is a wonderful one and to play it with a real human opponent is pretty opposite to playing a computer. The online chess is also a amazing experience but there are hovering problems like connectivity errors,...

Alnitak I enjoy playing online but only correspondence chess, not real-time. I'm not such a good player, so I like CC because you don't need to be online at the same time and I can think about the move for as long as I want. I've tried playing realtime chess, from...

Alnitak Have you started a new profile or did you keep the old one? If you're still using the old one maybe some config file or extension could be in conflict with this new version.

Alnitak I don't think that who commits suicide thinks it's the only solution for his/her problems, they are just running away from a feeling they think they're not able to stop. Even the most stupid problem can become unbearable if the person is depressed. They...
