But at a different URL, which means I'm in the process of going through every single post on my main blog tagged "Guitar Hero" so I can update any path or note chart links to be correct.
Fortunately I think there were only about three or four posts with links, but sifting through and finding them is going to be a bitch.
In case you're looking for paths for something not covered on SlowHero, I'll introduce you to PathHero.

updated firefox
I've updated to Firefox 3.6 now.
I did a dry test run in a virtual machine and it turned out that the only extension that wasn't compatible (Stop! Hammertime!) has a compatible version available for download on the author's website. So, with nothing major incompatible (like, say, Classic Compact or Adblock Plus), I went on and updated my main install.
Now I can use those personas. Not that I'd want to. Using a persona means forgoing a theme, and I'm not forgoing Classic Compact.
At any rate, it's nice to not have Firefox bugging me every 6-12 hours to upgrade.
Of course, as soon as I looked in my extension list after updating, I found that Java had snuck its bullshit console extension back in there. Why the hell does Firefox allow external applications to install extensions without the user's consent?

Cost effectiveness
I'm used to getting 20 oz. sodas for around $1.50, whether from a vending machine or from a refrigerator case in a store.
Just a few minutes ago I got home from Food Lion where I got a 2-liter of root beer.
It cost $1.28, after tax.
Which would you rather have, 20 ounces for $1.50 or 2 liters for $1.28?

/w/ finally reached 1M get...
...yesterday.
It's not the slowest board on 4chan (that "honor" goes to /po/, I don't think any of the recently added boards are slower), but it still took for-fucking-ever.
Glad that's over with.

The main problem with browsers other than Firefox
Firefox was using a ton of RAM earlier, mostly because I had 45 or so tabs open. Being lazy, instead of closing some, I closed Firefox. Opened Task Manager, waited for it to relinquish the RAM and virtual memory it was using, and then started SRWare Iron.
The entire reason I was doing this was because I wanted to watch an old AVGN episode (the Magnavox Odyssey episode) on GameTrailers. It was playing back in Firefox, but it was choppy due to Fx's RAM usage.
So I open up Iron, load up the ScrewAttack section on GameTrailers, open up the video page, and what's this? An ad before my video?
I double-checked. Reloading (even with cache-clearing reloads) didn't make it not show the ad. The ad was unskippable (unlike the old GameTrailers, where you could just click the right end of the seekbar to get to what you actually loaded up the fucking page for). The AdBlock extension for Chromium was loaded, but apparently its object subrequest blocking only works on YouTube or some shit like that.
Closed Iron, opened Firefox back up.
Went through the tabs (19 of them were various images on Sankaku Channel) and eventually got the number of tabs down to 20. Went back to GameTrailers and loaded up the video. No ad, watched the video, was happy.
This is the precise problem with non-Firefox browsers: lack of proper ad blocking and script blocking. I see so many people posting on various websites complaining of ads messing with the site and I just sit there and say to myself "some moron's not using AdBlock Plus".
Oh and by the way, the official initialism for Firefox is fx, not ff.
