It's not faster or better. The creator of the product has little or no input, leaving their paying customers to support other paying customers, none of whom know how to solve any of the problems.

The movie industry wants to ignore the legitimate uses of the Internet because they wish us to believe that the harm they suffer from infringement entirely voids the legal use of the Internet?
No, that's the just-beneath-the-surface 'apparent' reason for their actions.
The more likely one, in my deeply-suspicious opinion, is that they, together with government want to suppress the increasingly chatty exchange of information provided by the net and file-sharing.
File-sharing makes everyone a content producer, removing their dependence on thoughtless and unnecessary remakes from hollywood and returns control to the masses, where it belongs.
Likewise, these communication technologies make ordinary people far more difficult to control - they start to organise themselves, to spread awareness of pressing issues and abuses of power, casting light into the shadows where, previously, a cunning opportunist could hide and profit.
Are we to believe that the many independent press releases accidentally over-generalize to state that file-sharing is illegal or that they are part of a co-ordinated smear campaign with the goal of putting the cat back in the bag?
It's a bullshit attempt to shift the cost of policing users to an inappropriate entity IMHO.
Comparable to the recent trend of shifting the cost of supporting the users who buy your products - currently manifesting as "the inter-user support forum."
Anonymous has harassed and attacked them with '8,139 threatening phone calls, 3.6 million e-mails, 141 million hits on its website, ten acts of vandalism against its property, 22 bomb threats, and eight death threats against Church leaders.'"
I've been an Opera user for years but one thing really irks me - their complete inability to render dotted and dashed borders such that the dash lengths are consistent all the way round the element. Argh!
It's not Opera, it's people - they like the clunkiness of IE and Firefox - the massive amounts of wasted screen space - the lack of responsiveness. Try opening 75+ tabs in firefox without the universe grinding to a halt..!
Which version of vnc though? There are so many. I've used UltraVnc for a while between xp server and Win7 client but sometimes it seems to lock-up every minute or so, often permanently.
Personally, I was more disturbed by the story of the guy shooting a wildcat from a moving car then carrying its corpse by its tail to a party as a gift which was then barbecued and turned out to have had rabies.
Curious that Mr. Concerned Citizen didn't see fit to complain to whatever animal protection organisations you might have over there...
resign quietly, or resign himself to having the remainder of his tenure be one long march through hell in absolutely every legal way available to them.
...and now armed with the knowledge that there was an adult person with such an interest in the opposite sex that it may have ultimately led to *more children* (omg!) posting his opinion on a website from a school computer during school hours,

You're supposed to eat the pizza analogy, not use it as transport.

What colour's your fur?
Point the way to Scientology oil.
I'm not sure that was enough. She needed help, too.
We're all gonna look preeeeety stupid if this all turns out to be true :D
So, something which is able to move much faster than the flock and threatens unpleasantness should they move in the wrong direction?
I think *they* have that covered already.
He's just getting started. Why stop him now?
Please. Once there's more than three of them, it's a herd. Baaa (flock?)
I suspect pizza analogy guy is a lolcat.

Lucky you - all I get is a nice browsing experience :(
Opera also has a built in bittorrent client :D

If you look in a cat's eyes, do you not see more intelligence than when you look into a cow's ?
