    Goddamn it, I pay 50$ per month for a shitty 12 Mbit ADSL connection. No data caps though.

    If you're (forced to!) run the outdated version of Flash in Firefox on Linux, now might be a good time to go to the tools menu > addons > plugins and set Shockwave Flash to "Ask to Activate". Then the plugin will stay disabled per default, but can be activated on a per-site basis.

    I have a FX-8350 too. Given how much the the cores sit around idling at less than 5% usage, I don't think I'll need to upgrade my CPU before 2020. RAM, on the other hand...

    Holy shit snacks, does that mean that one day I might be able to use Korean government or online banking website with Firefox???

    Probably not, the country's extremely monocultural when it comes to computing tech. ("Not Invented Here" was one of the problems in the first place.) For example, nearly all the PCs there are Windows/Intel/nVidia combos... you really need to jump though hoops and/or be really specific when ordering computers to get anything else. And, only people at Daum and KAIST seem to even have any idea about Linux. Anything outside the Windows (IE6+)/Intel/nVidia mindset is not going to work.
