It is about 1/3rd in size and runs faster overall, since it's optimized for sub-500 MHz processors and 0.2 gig RAM instead of Win7 or OS X's full-gig requirement.
Also comes with Chromium, a nice compact browser that is very responsive to web surfing.
Mozilla (netscape) used to have 91% share too but I don't see them cheating.
I choose browsers based on features not speed. I like Firefox's addons to enable me to download youtube vids, SeaMonkey's builtin newsgroups/chat/email features, and Opera's Turbo for slow connections (dialup, cellular). As for speed they all seem about the same although FF3.6 does have a memory leak that can be annoying.
Socially liberally means allowing people to do whatever they want. In their bedrooms, in their homes, in their personal lives, so long as their actions don't physically harm another.
It does Not mean politically-or-fiscally liberal (using gov't to steal money from workers and redistribute it).
We don't have a problem with home owners "sampling" a movie via the net, and later buying the DVD or CD legally. But we DO have a problem if that downloader started profiting from the practice... i.e. selling bootlegs. That makes them a true pirate. Just like this "Cooks" gal.
>>>selling them on the street or giving them away free and being paid by advertisers
Yes we would. We don't have a problem with home owners "sampling" a movie prior to buying the DVD or CD legally. But we'd have a problem if they started profiting from the practice... that makes them a true pirate. Just like this "Miss Cooks" gal.
- It's not the initial act of copyright Infringement that angers me.
- It's the magazine's attitude that they did nothing wrong, and don't think they should pay the recipe writer, and they can't believe the owner even bothered to write and complain to them.
- If the mag had just apologized, everything would be cool.
And yes I feel a little bit of sympathy for this woman, but that's how the free market works. Bad businesses, like Cooks and Circuit City and Commodore, deserve to disappear and replaced with better businesses.
For those who forgot the story: "... I observed one of my students with a group of other children gathered around his laptop. Upon looking at his computer, I saw he was giving a demonstration of some sort. The student was showing the ability of the laptop and handing out Linux disks. After confiscating the disks I called a confrence with the student and that is how I came to discover you and your organization. ----- "Mr. Starks of Helios, I am sure you strongly believe in what you are doing but I cannot either support your efforts or allow them to happen in my classroom.... I want to assure you, if you are doing anything illegal, I will pursue charges as the law allows." continued: http://linuxlock.blogspot.com/2008/12/linux-stop-holding-our-kids-back.html
Later when Karen received a lot of internet attention, she tried to blame others. She should have been blaming herself (stole students' property, threatened a lawsuit against Helios), but instead filed a defamation suit against Helios.
Same applies to this woman behind Cooks. She has no one to blame but herself. She says the author of the stolen recipe was wrong, but it was "Miss Cooks" who was wrong, because of her poor attitude. She's like a thief caught at 7/11 - blaming everyone else except herself.
>>>financial power, the control over resources and services that make up life, IS the power.
Have the government revoke the corporate licenses it has granted, and most of that power would disappear. Instead businesses would be operated by individuals who would have to face Full liability for their actions.
What I really need is a *printable* tiny font. I like to print 9 pages per page of entire books, to save paper, but oftentimes the default Microsoft fonts are worthless.
IMHO the MPs, MePs, or regulators who have signatures on this policy to "harvest organs" should automatically receive a year in jailtime.
Otherwise, there is no motive to stop for current or future gov't functionaries from doing it again. "Sorry" is about as worthless as when the US said "sorry" to Americans democrat president FDR imprisoned during WW2. It is meaningless. There has to be punishment/consequences for their acts.
>>>limited government is as 'none' as no government
False. A limited government is one that does not exercise any powers except those granted to it by the Constitution. That style of government worked just fine from 1776 to 1900 (approximately). There were a few excursions where the US Congress overstepped its bounds, such as the Sedition Act and the Fugitive Slave Act, but for the most part it worked.
I want to see the central government exercise few powers, while the States hold most of the power, similar to how the modern EU operates.
>>>ayn randists who would still attempt selling free market/capitalist bullshit to us
I'm a libertarian (small, weak government), not an anarchist (no government), but just stop and think: If there was no government and no congress, then there would be no COICA. And no COICA would mean no way for the Corporations from stealing our stuff. We could pirate books, songs, shows without limit.
So what you should be railing against is a powerful government, which is being used to suppress the citizenry. THAT is what Randists are doing.
I'd also like to see Thomas Jefferson's Bill of Rights suggestion to impose a 14-year-limit on copyright.
>>>The difference [from socialism] is that in the capitalist countries there is good marketing.
This isn't capitalism (free choice). This is tyranny (anti-choice... like the comcast monopoly).
I'm now listening to an American who was molested by a TSA guy. The guard reached inside his sweatpants and touched his penis and balls. And this is supposedly legal (except of course it's also unconstitutional - no warrant; no search).
Precisely. And a lot of those terrorists are the children of moms/dads we killed overseas. Foolishness.
I just now heard an interview with an American is being punished $11,000 by the U.S.G. because he refused to be scanned, or groped by the TSA, so the guards told him, "You cannot fly." He then canceled his ticket, got a refund, left the airport, and was arrested for leaving the area.
The TSA is now groping women's breasts and little kids genitals. (See the recent video of a girl crying, "Stop touching me!"

Apparently once you enter an air terminal, you no longer have any rights... except to submit to the US Gestapo and their warrantless/illegal searches.
>>>"Do you want to fly today?" I was with my wife and simply shut up so as not to get detained
I stood in the hot Texas sun for over an hour because I refused to let them search my car's trunk. "Do you have a search warrant?" "No." "Then the answer is no you can't see inside my trunk." They were looking for illegals or drugs, but anyone with any sense should have known that I was a tourist (shorts, t-shirt, camera) and not a smuggler.
It's worth being detained to remind these shitheads that WE are the boss, and they are just the servants.
"The U.S. needs to protect against terrorists and drug dealers, and anyone with that much cash should be arrested." I then commented that I have over $4000 because I just visited the bank and withdrew it. "Well then you're dumb to travel with that much money, and dumb people should be in jail."
Please note this is a woman. French. I didn't used to think that sex or nationality mattered, but now I'm not so sure.

HUGE difference in the crime. One is merely taking an article w/o payment (a few pennies lost) while the other is physical & emotional abuse.
Not for long . . . I've been hearing that MS is losing tons of money and heading towards IBM territory.
Not the same thing.

She wasn't sorry at all, but was happy that it gave her tons of new "friends" and views.
She just didn't understand that she was stealing someone else's labor.
