    Is it so difficult to toggle them off already?

      I don't know what's sadder, that you tried to make a visual pun by encoding it in TeX, or that I understood it.

    Anyone know what sort of performance hit there is running the current Firefox release under Rosetta? I mean, do the Flash ads stutter or anything?

    I hear the companies using spyware are up in arms and threatening a boycott if they don't improve spyware support in Firefox under Rosetta. The upload performance is so poor it just isn't worth infecting Intel Macs. They're hoping the final release of the Intel Mac Firefox will resolve this issue.

    Oh, right. Really minor.

    And when he's done with that, could someone who's used a Mac please do something about the most hideous set of themes extant. Pink kitties? Wood-grain? Patriotic Netscape?

    I'm serious. What planet do these people live on? . . . Maybe we Mac users are some kind of snobby elite. Maybe we just have taste. Maybe Mozilla-Gnomey types need professional help. Whatever it is, it's a damn shame, particularly now.

    I knew it that Flash and Java support were bugs all along.

    Flash and Java support are NOT minor bugs.

    Flash and Java support are MAJOR bugs.
