Yeah, MP3 has stopped me from buying some records too. But NOT because I downloaded the whole thing, but because I got to listen to some of the songs they don't play on the radio...And found out the album/sucked/. I dunno about you, but I can't afford to pay $15 for a CD with one decent track...
On the other hand, I have bought several albums *because* of downloadable music. And I probably will continue to...

Get a few of those little case emblems, and slap 'em on their chests... Just like little ex-dark-jedi-power-rangers... Have a Daemon Ranger, a Tux Ranger and a...Hmm...Gold Tux Ranger?
(I assume there isn't an SGI case emblem, and I'm not desecrating my Indy...:)

Now what would really be cool is paintballs filled with this stuff... But judging by the prices on the website, and how much paint is normally, a 500 count bag of 'glowballs' would prolly cost ~$200...
But think about how cool an evening game would be!

Indeed. But what I'd really like to see in moz is a checkbox that lets me completely disable pop-ups. Not disable javascript entirely, just make it so that it can't spawn ad windows from hell. Pop-ups have to be one of the most useless/annoying 'features' of current browsers. Ick.

Not to mention, you can download the whole thing for absolutely nothing. I think it even does FTP installs... (At least with the sparc version, but I don't see any reason i386 would be different.)

You might wanna try w3m. It's an OSS text-only browser
n g/
that renders tables and (psuedo)frames.
IMHO, it beats Lynx hands-down in page rendering,
but I'm not sure if it's as full-featured...
