This is correct. Most 3D monitors double as 120hz monitors. They need double the refresh to get 60hz to each eye using active shutter glasses.

If we're talking about bad vehicle physics, try comparing the vehicles in Tribes 2 to those in Tribes.

Tribes 2's vehicles weren't perfect, but at least they simulated the inertia of a floating vehicle reasonably well, and in the case of the flying vehicles, they had a complex and competent enough physics engine to have some spectacular aerial dogfighting. You cannot do this in the original Tribes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8U6EYKNKdI

Speaking of kludgy, Starsiege: Tribes' strongest feature came from an unintended physics glitch. The act of "skiing" wasn't coded into the game. Imagine playing Tribes without that capability -- it would've been a totally different game. At least with Tribes 2, the developers were creating a game knowing that skiing was a fundamental part of the experience, so that it could be properly balanced.

I actually played mainly base Tribes (using scripts, as it was necessary) and Tribes 2. I firmly believe that anyone saying Tribes is superior to Tribes 2 was playing with mods. Frankly, mods ruined the first game for me. They were often horrifically balanced abominations that typically distracted from the special core of what made Tribes great, and the server browser was so inundated with mod servers that it became hard to find a decent game anymore.

Press F11.

I never understood the demand for "tabs on the title bar", personally. It's just 30 pixels (using Win 7, no scaling).

How many toolbars could you possibly have that you can't spare the 30 pixels?

If these rules are consistent for your specific domain, a block could be made for that identifier only on your domain.

Since ABP in particular is built upon subscriptions, if your site is popular enough, it would only take one person creating a rule for your specific site to block ads on that site for everybody.

Simply changing the names of your tags, or naming them the same as something useful on other sites, won't stop people from finding a way to uniquely identify your ads. You have to make your ad placement as resistant to pattern recognition as possible, and that isn't an easy task.

As with most bits of Firefox, if there's some functionality missing or that you simply want to change, there's probably an add-on that provides it.

I use Update Notifier to manage browser/add-on updates. If Mozilla wants to natively add this functionality, I'd suggest that they follow this add-on's design.

It runs only when Firefox is open (because it's an add-on, of course), and it suppresses any "There are new updates! Want to install them before we open up the browser to do what you really wanted to do?" messages. It downloads and installs (based on your configuration) any new updates, and they go into effect once you restart the browser (which you can do whenever you want -- it doesn't prompt you).

Clarification needed. XP Compatibility Mode in Vista is not the same thing as "XP Mode" in Win 7. Win 7 should have both modes, while the latter is a full-blown virtualized version of XP. It should run nearly any program that ran on XP -- it has far greater compatibility than "Compatibility Mode."
