Oh my, I quite enjoy how that page handles its comments.

It opens a panel to the right side of the window that you can scroll in, pretty nifty.

Oh yeah, thanks for the heads up.

I don't use 7zip because I don't like the way the icons look in the rightclick menu. I guess I could change them, but too lazy.

I just uninstalled it, haven't used it in ages anyway.
