Any of you guys going to the Clipsal 500 this year ???

Will be there again workin hard! The main grand stand on pit straight is shorter this year. Missing about the last 80m looks like for corporate facilities. I wonder if ticket sales are down?

It constantly crashes. Something about soundwave, or shockwave, or plug ins, or plug waves........ I dunno....
Don't blame the browser, blame Adobe. Their poorly designed software runs like crap on pretty much every browser/operating system.

Adobe flash is the biggest piece of shit on the internet.

EDIT: Flash used to run brilliantly when it was done by Macromedia but those pr!cks at Adobe bought them out in 2005.

Actually I've found browsers crash much more regularly in the last year or two.

In the past if I had too many windows open (since I never close them :p) the browsers might get clogged up a bit but they'd still work.

Nowadays they just suddenly crash. Doesn't seem to matter whether I use IE, Opera, Firefox, Chrome, they all just crash on me. It's bloody annoying.
 
It doesn't seem to happen with Explorer though.

Which is a shame, because I prefer using Chrome to Explorer. But I can't take these crashes anymore.

Maybe I'll try Firefox.....

It definitely happens with IE for me because IE handles tabs so badly. I generally have at least 40 tabs open at any given time :eek:

Firefox definitely handles Bigfooty better than other browsers. BF runs awfully on IE.

Geeze and I thought I was a tab whore with 10-12 open

Agreed, I have up to 100+ tabs open at once with firefox and it does slow up (along with using about 2gig of ram). What I've noticed is that once it freezes I just have to control alt delete > start task manager > processes > find plugin-container > end process and it will unfreeze firefox. It will mean you have to reload any flash related things such as youtube videos but I'd rather that then losing something like being midway through a post on a forum.

I think firefox actually runs a bit worse for me then chrome but chrome reminds me of macs and I don't like how the tabs just get smaller and smaller rather then being able to scroll across.

Yes, the plugin-container.exe slowdown issue is crazy with Firefox. It never used to be that bad a couple of years back. Either Youtube has added a shitload of new code to their site, or the newer versions of Firefox simply can't handle it properly.
 
Anyone know if you are still able to buy a ticket to the after race concerts only at the clipsal? Wouldn't mind heading in Sunday but cannot afford not want to go for the whole day.

On a separate issue is there a company that gets better bang for their buck in regards to naming rights than clipsal does? Everyone refers to it as just the clipsal. They have done very well for themselves.

I might try downgrading to an older firefox to see whether it actually a firefox issue or more of a flash/plug-in problem.

What must one be doing to have 100 tabs open? I struggle to keep up when I have 3 open :D
Well say you come onto bigfooty, instead of reading every thread one at a time, you open up each thread in a multiple tab. Come back an hour later and do the same thing (goes for all forums etc) and by the end of the day (if firefox hasn't crashed :p) I'll easily have 100+ tabs up.

Band aids come to mind. But that's about it.
