you have the most upvotes of any user on reddit that ive given out.

[–]irish711 -1 points0 points ago

In RES tagging, you can manipulate the number to any number you'd like.

[–]CentralSmith 1 point2 points ago

That link implies you have downvoted yourself before.

[–]irish711 7 points8 points ago

I don't always agree with the things that come out of my own mouth sometimes... those times when all I'm doing is pushing people's buttons. Just keeping myself honest.

[–]Roaning 0 points1 point ago

how?

[–]irish711 1 point2 points ago

Enter whatever number you'd like. You can make it what ever number you'd like. Or use it to reset the votes you've given.

[–]mcartz33 4 points5 points ago

2 months for the most recent repost. That number gets smaller each time.

[–]one2-3 -1 points0 points ago

what do you mean?

[–]mcartz33 0 points1 point ago

people are reposting posts more frequently. Next there'll be reposts 3 days apart.

[–]Nexes 0 points1 point ago

A REPOST MACHINE! Best thing ever.

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points ago

I wish I had a bully that paid me $300M/year.

[–]polishedsteel 67 points68 points ago

Opera is studying some place.

[–]noisyturtle 50 points51 points ago

Opera is probably off riding it's fixed gear bike to the farmers market to get some free range underground dubstep lp's.

[–]LittlePieceOfMe 10 points11 points ago

organic underground dubstep lps.

[–]polishedsteel 0 points1 point ago

Spot on.

[–]Onlythefinestwilldo 59 points60 points ago

Safari getting high behind the bleachers...

[–]bill5125 46 points47 points ago

Tor is watching the Kindergarteners.

[–]lakercud11 17 points18 points ago

I'm using Opera right now.

[–]Snagglewhen 18 points19 points ago

Me too!! We should get together and be superior!

[–]a4moondoggy 1 point2 points ago

whats good about opera i keep hearing it? I gotta admit, though...i really have gotten used to chrome even firefox seems too exploreresqe now.

[–]piezeppelin 3 points4 points ago

[–]iab61826 10 points11 points ago

It should show Bill Gates as IE's father, DESPERATELY trying to get his son some friends. "Here, play with my son...", "Hey, my son can help you do that!"

[–]bendtherules 41 points42 points ago

Give respect to IE http://i.imgur.com/NmXgr.jpg

cmd
ftp ftp.mozilla.org

[–]GoingToOhio 27 points28 points ago

he meant for normal people.

[–]TommyXT 18 points19 points ago

  1. Open Windows explorer:
  2. Type in ftp://releases.mozilla.org/

[–]elridan 5 points6 points ago

I'm not 100% certain about this, and I plan on being proven wrong about something in this post, but I think that Windows Explorer still uses elements of Internet Explorer to display everything.

[–]littleperson 7 points8 points ago

[–]SkaveRat 0 points1 point ago

man, I really hope you demagnetized it before you did that

[–]spyingwind 3 points4 points ago

$client = new-object System.Net.WebClient
$client.DownloadFile( $url, $path )

Powershell with .NET

If you really wanted to get down and dirty, you could write it with out .NET. I wouldn't and haven't found anyone that has, yet.

[–]almosteeen58 3 points4 points ago

What's the one on the right?

[–]Airazz 4 points5 points ago

Unless you're in Europe. When you start Windows for the first time, there's a single icon on the desktop. You click it and it asks what browser would you like, IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari and some other obscure one which I forgot. So yeah, my laptop has been IE-free since birth.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

That is the software that the manufacturer ships with the laptop.

For those who don't have OEM windows, and those who didn't have alternate browsers installed in the OEM build, downloading is the only option.

[–]Airazz 0 points1 point ago

That is the software that the manufacturer ships with the laptop.

Well yes, it's called Windows.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Honey, if you read my comment and could not understand that I am talking about the applications that the manufacturer ships along with windows, you have some serious problems comprehending english.

[–]Airazz 0 points1 point ago

It's not just some little program that manufacturer ships with their computers. It's a law now, every computer sold in EU must be like that, it can't contain IE by default.

[–]Zumbach 1 point2 points ago

call me stupid, but what the hell is that explorer on the far right?

[–]Xenophilus 0 points1 point ago

Tor, i believe

[–]Cognoggin 0 points1 point ago

Mosaic

[–]a4moondoggy 0 points1 point ago

IKR! the only times i use explorer. damn thing opens with half the page toolbars.

[–]GetStapled 7 points8 points ago

So are Internet browsers like Pokemon? They do battle and can only say their names.

[–]toshmaytol 21 points22 points ago

This should be the end of the "fuck IE" posts because it won't get better than this.

[–]SrsSteel 1 point2 points ago

IE9 isn't bad :| Just lacks extensions!

[–]Bucky_Ohare 10 points11 points ago

Which is why it's bad. Sure the glaring security flaws and response time issues have been fixed to an extent, but it's still IE.

It's kinda like a prostitute who's been working the streets for almost 15 years, smoking and doing things unprotected the whole time. Suddenly, she gets a facelift and expects people to start paying the full 20$ again?

[–]SrsSteel 13 points14 points ago

What the hell kind of prostitute are you finding for 20 dollars?

[–]Bucky_Ohare 8 points9 points ago

Exactly.

[–]psilokan 1 point2 points ago

IE9 still has it's fair share of rendering issues.

[–]polishedsteel 0 points1 point ago

Extensions are why I don't use Firefox.

[–]pwnyoface 4 points5 points ago

Firefox is a GINGER!

[–]piezeppelin 8 points9 points ago

I'm either suddenly dyslexic or very racist.

[–]pwnyoface 0 points1 point ago

hahahahahahhahahaahh

[–]tiezep 6 points7 points ago

Why is Russel from Up strangling the local furry?

[–]missC08[S] 33 points34 points ago

ok, so totally didn't know it was a repost. sorry guys.

[–]Dr_Professor_MD_PhD 28 points29 points ago

I'd never seen this before. I don't see a problem with these kinds of reposts. (Just so long as it doesn't have the same title and isn't the day after it hits the front page or isn't submitted multiple times by you.)

[–]Shruglife 3 points4 points ago

Because nothing that has ever been seen by anyone on Reddit may ever be seen again!

[–]missC08[S] 6 points7 points ago

thank you!

[–]Se7en_Sinner 7 points8 points ago

Don't worry about it, just check KarmaDecay before posting next time.

[–]missC08[S] 5 points6 points ago

Thank you. Didnt know it existed

[–]used_bathwater 3 points4 points ago

I've never seen it. I'll hold back the Reddit-Repost-killers. For now.

[–]rad_thundercat 1 point2 points ago

Never seen it, thanks.

[–]missC08[S] 0 points1 point ago

you're welcome

[–]Weinemeister 4 points5 points ago

It's why I use both Firefox and Chrome, for different situations....

[–]Cdwollan 0 points1 point ago

But firefox is all kinds of terrible.

[–]TheTinglySandwich 3 points4 points ago

What about safari.

[–]TinyTeddy93 2 points3 points ago

yes, yes it is.

[–]Zuxicovp 2 points3 points ago

Chrome has gotten away from its original goal, launching quickly.

[–]mondoman712 2 points3 points ago

This is so old it's on the wall in one of the I.T rooms at my school

[–]Ikimasen 2 points3 points ago

Firefox doesn't look bloated enough.

[–]amosff 2 points3 points ago

Internet explorer eating the glue gets me every time i see this

[–]Napalmhat 1 point2 points ago

I rarely laugh out loud on my own but the representation of IE is so accurate i can't stop.

[–]goddi23a 3 points4 points ago

firefox is a ginger.

kill it with fire...eh... just kill it.

[–]Hollan 0 points1 point ago

Old repost, but still good.

[–]SQLDave 0 points1 point ago

Literally LOLed at the IE depiction.

[–]DerpHerpson123 0 points1 point ago

is chrome fucking firefox?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

i would have liked to see AOL dead in the backround

[–]heihoshindo 0 points1 point ago

Looks like I am going to have to go back to using stumble upon.

[–]DavidLeeGoth 0 points1 point ago

Holy fuck how many times is this going to be reposted?!

[–]John1234321nhoJ 0 points1 point ago

What's the most polite/subtle way to find out what a girl's fetishes are if you're only acquaintances?

[–]ivefoundthebackstory 0 points1 point ago

Chrome obviously has an upper hand

[–]polishedsteel 0 points1 point ago

Safari is the spoiled little girl that's always buying new toys and breaking them.

[–]TellsPenguinJokes -4 points-3 points ago

What fish do penguins catch at night?

Starfish.

[–]missC08[S] 2 points3 points ago

starfish?

[–]xMalnutrition 2 points3 points ago

One thing you should learn about novelty accounts, they need to be relevant to something. You can't just run into a comment thread screaming irrelevant jokes and expect upvotes. Not being a dick, just explaining your downvotes.

[–]missC08[S] 0 points1 point ago

oh just saw the trick with the black strip. well i got the answer right before i looked at it. that's pretty cool actually

[–][deleted] ago

[–]Cdwollan 1 point2 points ago

but but but everything I've learned for the last five years is that ie is terrible and all ie is just like ie 6!

[–]growamustache -1 points0 points ago

I didn't realize that firefox was a ginger...

[–]ObidiahWTFJerwalk 1 point2 points ago

It's from the animal the mascot is based on.

[–]nemisis54 -2 points-1 points ago

repost?

[–]bitchpotatobunny -2 points-1 points ago

Seen it before, makes me giggle every time. Fine, upvote for you, you lazy reposter.
