yeah... What I do is hand them the paper and tell them to try

Because the funny thing is. If you keep bothering fixing things for them, they will come to you every time it happens again. But when they spend like 5 minutes trying for themselves and maybe actually fixing the problem with some google help, they will remember doing this and will be able to fix it again if they must.

yeah... agreed. Usually me doing that makes them shut up

I am SO offended!
Calling Internet glorious Explorer a bloatware, a thing to throw away!
DAMN YOU INTERNETS, i'm browsing on the INTERNET, not a browser ffs.
Internet Explorer rules!!!
See what i did there?

Saw you not thy sarcasm?
Been using chrome since launch, it's da beast.
I've actually customized the application a bit for myself's liking.
Removed and replaced some buttons with others and stuff, so it takes less space on the comp.

I dunno about Chrome.
But I refuse to let Google know about fucking everything.

Would you rather let Microsoft know?
Heck, even Mozilla is a bad corp to 'trust'.

Ah. The old mobile browser they decided to blow up the size of.
π: 0 β©: 1
No. The most awesome browser there is.
And I used to use Firefox for years.

Chrome is the fastest, but if i had a phone atm (one died, then i got another one and that one screwed over) i would deff. use Opera.
It's like comparing a WV to a ferrari, sure the Ferrari goes way faster, but the WV is the kind of car you'd feel at home in, kinda fuzzy feeling over it.
But i do like to use the Ferrari, if it's free why bother settling for the crapwagon?

Opera is pretty much as fast as Chrome in most aspects.

That...really IS easy. I haven't gone farther than the "error code" business, so thank you so much for this dlshgalsdjf YOU ARE AMAZING.

Haha! Epic! I love the internet thing. But why isn't it pointing to firefox and instead opera? I've never really tried opera? If I may ask what advantages does Opera have?
Thanks in advance!

Opera is:
-fast
-save
-lots of stuff you can customize
-comes with bittorrent included (you dont need an extra bittorrent client to download stuff 
-lots of widgets (they're like apps)
-its awesome.

Well I just downloaded version 10.5 I love the speed tbh but my windows classic theme (to save performance) makes it look really bad (the opera skin), help?

You can change opera skins at [link]
You can preview a skin and your browser will actually appear in the skin you previewed, you just have to choose to stay with the skin or not. It's pretty nice.

is opera faster than firefox for gaming and browsing?
π: 0 β©: 1
Opera and chrome are the fastest browsers out there. Opera is in some ways faster and in some ways slower than chrome, but I would consider them equal overall
π: 0 β©: 1
Well you see:
On my faster computer chrome seems to be the fastest browser, I think this is because of it's memory usage, it's a memory hog at times. Anyways once I get on my slower computer, my laptop, the fastest browser is firefox. I think this is because firefox uses less memory.
As for opera I tried it out, but uninstalled. It's nice but some pages I use couldn't scroll right and that was inconvenient. And also I use a windows classic theme on my laptop to decrease the lag-spikes so it looks really horrible. But I think it's a great browser if I use it on my faster computer! Well as long as scroll doesn't glitch up

I didn't know about the scroll glitch

This is beautiful. 
It's funny because my family will call me, asking me how to fix something. They won't. Just. Google it. 
There will be a German version?
π: 0 β©: 1
that's how i solve ALL my computer problems
and yes there will be a german version. i've already translated it and i just need to scan it. so it will be uploaded soon.

Damn straight.
You seem to be fond of that plz. I suppose making it will do that to you.
π: 0 β©: 1
So true. Most of the time when I or anyone else I know has a computer problem, I just google it and fix it within five minutes. They then call it magic
Also, "You probably call it the internet" - I've met SO MANY people who do that. I had to explain to my own mother that I didn't break her internet, she just closed her browser window
I have an urge to translate this to Czech and pin it next to the computer for future reference XD

thanks^^ i know what you mean. absolutely
true fact: a TEACHER in a school i went (was years ago) tried to copy "the internet" on a floppy disk cause she wanted to surf the web in school. she copied the desktop icon from her internet explorer on the disk and was wondering why it wasn't working...
and feel free to translate it in whatever you want and use it as whatever you can imagine ^^ just put a small credit somewhere and i'll be fine

Hahaha, that's just great. "...when you obviously don't know anything about computers, your browser may look like this: *pointing at IE*" So true
π: 0 β©: 1
thanks ^^
and about IE: its just the awful truth
π: 0 β©: 0
Totally awesome!
When I'll have some spare time, I shall translate this in german and polish so we/I could use it for my family/friends
Because it really sucks to be that IT-Slave and have to deal with problems like "My computer doesn't boot" - "Plugged it in?" - "Oh, no, ah thank you
π: 0 β©: 1
