Although not exclusive to RC3, I'd like to say that Firefox 2's UIis cleaner and fits in better with the more "friendly" GUIs out there, such as OS X and Ubuntu.
I do the same thing. The most fun is at short order restaurants who take your name, then yell it out when your order is ready. I give a different name every time I go in, so I often get odd looks from the cashier when I say "Stephen" and they are expecting "Terry". Sometimes I give the same name as the person in front of me which can lead to either striking up a conversation, or delicious confusion when I reach for their order when "my" name is called.
Many people have said that blaming IT for divorce is foolish; it is the person who causes the divorce, not their chosen career. That is true.
What would be interesting to me are divorce rates among IT professionals. If those rates are high, it wouldn't suggest that IT, as an industry, causes divorces. It may suggest that people who tend to go into IT aren't capable spouses. Or it may suggest that people who tend to go into IT aren't don't marry capable spouses.
Nevertheless, I don't think anyone (even TFQ) has said that that IT, as a career, has a greater sway in divorce than any other time-intensive career.
This reminds me of the prediction on/. last year that some day in the not-too-distant future we would be using ubiquitous public computer terminals and joking about the old days when people lugged around laptops. Both prophecies are anywhere from 90-100% foolish.

If this goes well, web developers with grounding in standards and accessibility may have a lot of jobs opening up soon.
China would be forced to switch to Linux. Then, when China takes over the world, Linux will be spread by force. Excellent, excellent.

At least when Martians launch missions to Earth, they have the courtesy to say "Hi". Even if it's with a million-degree super-laser.

Well, I did... but now that I think about it; 3,141,592 would be pretty nice.

I'd be more worried about what they put into their "food".
