Internet Explorer 8 freezes when I open it. The tab just says connecting and I can't click on anything. The page doesn't load and it's only a white screen. I have to use ctl-alt-dlt to exit the window. I'm really not sure how to fix this. I tried installing the internet explorer 9 but it just hangs while it says its downloading. I have Windows 7 and any help would be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.140.166.139 ( talk) 00:20, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
That didn't work. 173.140.166.139 ( talk) 02:07, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Yes, I'm using Safari to answer this question. 173.141.192.113 ( talk) 15:50, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks, once I deleted temporary internet files, it worked. I'm even posting this from Internet Explorer. Any idea why temporary internet files would make Internet Explorer not work? 173.141.192.113 ( talk) 03:40, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
I've got the latest version of Firefox (using GB spelling) on Ubuntu and Windows 7. For both, the search bar gives results for the UK for Google, Bing, Amazon, eBay and Yahoo. I assumed that it was due to the language variation I had downloaded but that isn't the case. My son has the US version on his laptop and it is giving the same results. How do we get the search bar to show us the Canadian site for the above? CambridgeBayWeather ( talk) 08:20, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I've often wondered how people can crack into systems by something as simple as a dictionary attack. I get the principle, but when I log into anything, there is a delay while the system does the handshaking etc., possibly on the order of about 3 to 10 seconds. How do people avoid this time wasting when they search by using "bots" and the like to crack a password? One attempt every 3 to 10 seconds looks decidedly slow to me.

Now that is really dastardly :) thanks for the reply. IBE ( talk) 14:21, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
How it is work without directly connection, and why Apple doesn't block it? Exx8 ( talk) 20:59, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
I ment in the first part that the jailbreaker usually does not have a direct connection to the iphone's bios or to the cpu. He needs to find an exploit to the shell isn't he? Exx8 ( talk) 22:59, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Apple does not encourage jail breaking, but stamping it out entirely would be extremely difficult, as it is so wide spread and readily available. Jailbreaking also adds additional features to a product that a parent company might not have thought of, making it desirable for most software platforms.-- Denting5 ( talk) 00:58, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
