[Flash]

I once made games in Flash and posted them to Newgrounds. Coding in flash is tedious and repetitive, and it's not 'fun' at all. Actionscript (the code for programming games in flash) is very conservative, as well as very few commands. So no, I would not recommend coding in flash. Instead, I would recommend HTML5 instead, as that is dominating the internet currently for coding.

[Do you build your own PC?]

Yes, I do.

 

Some people think that it's cheaper to build your own pc but that's not the case every time. Very often when you build your own pc you end up spending more than you would have if you had bought a ready-made pc.

 

Reason? Well, when you build your own pc, you can pick and choose each and every part. So when you are faced with a choice between a cheaper part and one that costs a little bit more but offers a lot more capabilities, you would tend to buy the more expensive part.

 

Let's say, for example, a 500Gb hard drive costs 100usd. Another hard drive with 1Tb capacity cost 150usd, just 50% more in price for 100% more in capacity. So, if you have the budget for it, you will naturally buy the 1Tb hard drive. And your costs goes up by 50usd.

 

A bit here and a bit there and, finally, you end up with a pc that costs more than a ready-made one. Of course, you get a pc that you are satisfied with when you build it yourself.

 

Yeah, sometimes the prices can go way above your expectations. Building PC's can also be challenging and time-consuming, and many folks just can't build one due to this. However, building a PC allows you to replace parts easily when a new model is shown, and it improves your skills in computer engineering.

[Do you build your own PC?]

As the title suggests, do you build your own PC? I'm asking for your imputs as most average computer users order their PC through companies like Dell, HP, etc. However, most people use these computers for social networking or for work. Many people (including me) build their own PC to suit their needs. They find their own GPU's, CPU's, Motherboards, among other things, and build the PC themselves. Usually they build it for gaming, video editing, or programming. As this forum revolves around 'intense' computer users, I'm hoping to find more homemade PC's.

[What is Your Favorite Browser?]

I prefer Internet Explorer. It's fast, reliable, and easy to use...

 

just kidding

 

In all seriousness, however, I prefer Google Chrome. Google Chrome interface is simple and easy to use. Firefox's, however, is not. With different buttons located all around the screen, I just could not handle it all. With Google Chrome, all of the buttons and programs are located at the top-right of the screen. It's effortless.

 

Google Chrome provides much faster page loading. It took a second with Chrome to load the main Google page, however with Firefox it took two seconds. Not a big difference, but hey, I want faster page loading! Chrome also has a tight security, which is great as I tend to find my self in spyware-infested sites occasionally.

 

So yeah. Chrome beats all web browsers!
