    And if your reading a page with links you dont want to click, lets say to a picture of a man stretching his balloon knot open, then they'll be cached for you and swallow up more and more system resources. nice!

    The next time I read someone in all seriousness using the term "blazingly fast" the baby seal gets it.

    Chimera's great, I use it, but it has zero speed advantage over OmniWeb. Nil. Goosegg. And in my opinion, OmniWeb looks better.

    Perhaps that's good, although I'd like to see an option where you can choose to apply the feature to all links leading to HTML pages.

    What would be great is if it could recognise if a page is of thumbnail images, and then automatically download the linked images. It would make browsing porn much quicker.

    Moz has gone beyond 1-1 user ratio. I have several versions of Mozilla installed.. it's about 1-3 user:browser ratio :)

    I still cherish the days with modem when I could see the goatse.cx pic load before my eyes and go away before it was done, now with DSL it's instant, and you think this is good?!

    The war Bugzilla vs Slashdot sadly had this unfortunate outcome. We will have to live with it. But I'm sure you'll find a way to circumvent the problem. But then again, you're circumventing Bugzilla's access protection and you'll surely be a DMCA case.

    As someone pointed out earlier...There is nothing preventing a malicious web page designer to load an image into the user's cache (e.g., via javascript preloading, or via img src="xyz.jpg" width="1" height="1" code...

    I wonder how the argument would stand in court (Gee, I have 10 Gigs of illegal pr0n on my disk, and I think it was because of mozilla precaching)...

    Note that if you're using the pinstripe theme, chances are good you're a homosexual Macintosh user.

    I don't know why.

    First thing I noticed.

    Score:4 for *that*? I mean, I thought it was kind of cute or I wouldn't have written it, but...

    Moderation on Slashdot is a little whacky.

    Oh, what really gets my goat is when I post to some post saying "this post deserves to be modded up", and some whimsical moderator mods the "mod up" post up *instead of the parent*. I remember getting a Score:4 saying that the parent post (Score:1) should be modded up.

    The funniest part is that I am a homosexual Macintosh user.

    I don't know why.

    First thing I noticed was that I really liked men. Then I noticed that I really liked Macintoshes.

    i am mystified as to how you arrived at the number "three."
