    I remember in my feeble attempt to learn java that all you had to do was comment something out and the compiler would completely ignore it. So its probably good to assume (Besides the fact that the setup file would increase in size vastly) that it will just be in the tree. I didn't even think of that before you said something.

    The only thing that uses more memory than firefox for me is trillian. But maybe I'm using an old version.

  5. Replace God with a dinosaur logo? by PrayingWolf · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    We're all human, I know that: scared of losing our security and smelling strange odors, trapped inside our comfort zones... and Firefox is a part of it. Now you are called to advertise firefox with the hope that it won't go away if you just try to get people convinced. But don't you see what you're doing?

    Hey! Hackers, geeks and other nerds! You are being called to maintain and uphold status quo!
    Can't you see? Already the crippling force of fear is starting to affect the so young OSS ppl!
    But what else can you expect when you've turned away from the source of creativity - the creator Himself.

    So the red dinosaur has become an idol, another in the long line of replacements for God and Jesus His only begotten son - our salvation.
    Good news of the kingdom of God has been replaced with "good news of firefox"
    And the tower of babel is being built: the man-made structure of OSS code that you might think will save the world - only it won't...

    It's still not too late. Awake thou that sleepest, and rise from the dead!
