Did anyone else misread the title of this thread as 'Communist Party'? Or was that just me...

Yep... me too.

TS is good and easy to use, but I'll tell you what, I've been using Ventrilo lately, and that really kicks arse. It isn't any harder than Teamspeak to use, and the sound clarity compared to TS? Well let's put it this way, TS isn't even in the same ball park.

It's funny because I have a TS server of my own.  When I'm playing with my guild on WoW we use Vent and I have TS loaded too.  I use two different keys for PTT so I can talk to either channel or both at the same time.

Quality-wise Vent is superior, less bandwidth with clearer audio and better controls of both the incoming and outgoing levels. TS is a little easier to set up since they have a slider for every setting even if they don't have a separate control for incoming and outgoing levels.

I love to see the menubar first and then under those the other bars, but in IE7, they changed this, weird

Don't get me wrong! I'm an active FireFox user, but once Internet Explorer 7 ships retail, it will give FireFox an active competitor.

Stepping away from the Firefox is better or IE7 rules or Opera kicks arse. It's all about standards. Which ones? CSS to be exact.

Opera and Firefox are better at the CSS standard than IE7.  MS rewrote IE7 from the ground up and still screwed the pooch on most of the basics. Don't get me wrong, both FF and Opera aren't perfect but IE really makes it hard as a cutting edge web designer to get some real cool stuff done without having to resort to browser trickery.

That being said. I use FF to design, Opera to verify it works, and then hack it to make IE play along.

But in the end, who cares as long as I can play games on my computer.

i dont use IRS because in the podcast we usually talk using TS so... we never use IRC, we have 1 set up but nobody is ever on it....

and anyway, IE 7 is out and its pretty darn good...

Nothing beats Firefox NOTHING. If you don't liek the look of Firefox download a new thme. Let the Web brower war begin...

I have your back man I have your back!

Well, you know, in the newest version of Opera IRC is built in, so all I have to do to join the IRC is click on the "FS IRC CHANNEL" and IRC pops up in a new tab. Also the tab goes blue when someone says something and you don't have the tab open. Quite user friendly, no?
