Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

All, whenever I search google from my office computer I get an "unresponsive script" warning during results of the search. Any way I can fix this problem? I'm using Firefox 2

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

All, whenever I search google from my office computer I get an "unresponsive script" warning during results of the search.

I've seen that warning in Firefox when client-side Javascript is bogging down on a slow computer. I checked - Google does use client side scripting. Weird.

Is it a slow computer, and/or one with limited memory?

Dunno what can be done....

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

the restart did not work. I cannot figure out what the problem is. I use google so often that this error is actually disabling my ability to surf. No problems on my home computer at all. I guess I may need to disable all extensions when I go back to work and start over.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

le nubian, I was having a lot of trouble with firefox freezing, most especially with Google. I did some checking and it is a known bug that is caused by some add-ons. I deleted most of my add-ons and am having much less trouble.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

There's an about:config tweak for the "Unresponsive script" thing. [link]

Basically the default value for how long Firefox will wait around for a script to finish just times out too quickly. I run into it a lot during threadsucks.

Here are some other good tweaks: [link]

thanks! I read that site all the time and didn't think to search the site for this.

All is well that ends in pizza.

To be proper, the Google search sheet referred to above should be printed 2-up on a mimeograph machine.
