I am seriously considering having the lapband surgery. Without giving a number lets just say I'm dangerously overweight. Has anyone been through this? What are the worst things I can expect from this. Worst side effects?

I myself always use Firefox as my main browser. I prefer Firefox because of the large number of extensions there are for this browser. Which browser do you prefer, and for what reason(s)?

santuccie Mozilla says that you can browse "faster" with Firefox; faster than what, they won't say. Even if you tweak Firefox's settings, it's still not much faster than IE, if at all. The latest version of Firefox also hangs on some sites, myLot being one. IE does...

Sporean Hi thijsthislb Other than the large no. of extensions, Firefox is much faster and offers better protection against spyware and viruses than IE. Internet Explorer is highly vulnerable to viruses and spyware attacks. Other than Firefox, you can try Opera...

santuccie I agree with pointyblue. IE (at least IE6) is more stable than Firefox. Firefox hangs frequently during page transitions, especially here at myLot. It's the only one that I've seen do this. It also crashes occasionally out of the clear blue. Dr. Watson has no...

pointyblue I'd like to use Firefox but it's unstable on my XP system. IE works better. When I run Ubuntu I use Firefox, it's very fast and reliable.

I am a big fan of Angelina Jolie, and i think she is one of the best female actrice nowadays. The Bone Collector is one of my favourite movies she played in. Which movie with Angelina do you like the most, and why?

LaDeom I have so many favorite Angelina Jolie movies. I just about like all of them. The top Angelina Jolie movies that I can just watch over and over are Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Foxfire, and Girl Interrupted. The Bone Collector was good, but that was a Denzel Washington...

UDDERONES I have heard all this about Vista, but we just got a new Dell computer and it has Vista on it. We have had it since Feb and we haven't had any problems with Vista. I have heard a lot of bad things about Vista but so far we haven't experienced any problems.

santuccie XP can take up to 192 MB of RAM just to sit idly, while Vista can take up to 768 MB to do the same. And all you get out of it are looks, nothing more. Vista was supposed to be built for security. Yet it is still not as tough out-of-the-box as Mac OS or...

minijumbuk Hi there thijsthijslb, I would recommend you take the Windows XP because since Vista is still new to the market, many programs or processes are still not able to be used by Vista, although some are, i find it would be very inconvenient that you could not use...

Sporean My recommendation is to stay with XP as there are still too many bugs with Vista. Besides, Vista takes up too much RAM. Service for XP is still available for the next two to three years. So stay with XP if you are already comfortable with it.

pointyblue I'm still running XP and Ubuntu linux. As I understand it, Vista still has a lot of problems - and the benefits compared to XP are insignificant. I'd choose XP and upgrade to Vista at a later date if necessary.

pcguy1 Vista will be just fine if the computer meets or exceeds the recommended requirements. XP is still very capable and has lots of support online. XP should serve you well for a least two more years.

gh0stface I would actually recommend XP for right now and wait till the Vista service pack comes out. There are some bugs that Microsoft needs to work out. However, you aren't afraid of plunging in to Vista, go for it. Just note, that some games actually perform a...
