Winamp 5 came with better skin support (not a big deal I know) and the media library which is what sold me on it. If it wasn't for the media library then I'd still be using Winamp 2.9.
Ok, I agree. The OP was in the wrong. If you go to someone's house to fix their printer and you install Firefox then yea, that's out of line. Not what they asked for.
However, if they've got adware on their machine and they want that removed (and they always ask you to prevent it) then installing Firefox is within what they're asking you to do.
I was moreso replying to how I do thing and not how the OP worded it as being "any situation" he installs Firefox.

Right because if, by chance, it does cause a problem then a solution is only a 1 minute phone call away.
Certainly Firefox will prevent more problems than it would cause anyways.
I know what you mean, and really I haven't read into detail about this particular situation. However, if it truly executes code using perl5 by default unless a perl6 declaration is made then that would be more than just "backwards" compabability
This may sound like an obvious and somewhat simpleminded suggestion....but what about launching it into space?
Is it too heavy to make getting out of the atmosphere an cost/energy-effective solution, would we only be able to get it so far so that it'd essentially orbit the earth (or the sun?)?
Well, like I posted above....if these could be made to work on Mozilla with an extension + Mono then I'd say they're at least on par with Java applets.
Any advantages over Java applets would boil down to a debate over which is better,.NET or Java. I'd say.NET but I have only a little experience with Java and with the latest version of Java it seems to have caught up to many of.NET's advantages. Really though, the differences are so minor in the long run that if both is available then it really doesn't matter which you pick...unless you fear vendor lock-in from Microsoft.
No no, I'm talking about.NET controls that run in the browser. Give me a few minutes and I'll find an example for you. I'm definately not talking about web controls.

Actually, now you can embed.NET controls in webpages. Would be an alternative to ActiveX.
Speaking of which....would be nice to see a Firefox extension which can embed.NET controls using Mono on *n*x. May be a security risk, but it'd just be an extension and would allow intranet apps built using it to run on *n*x
I meant new products or products that are new to me at least. I didn't mean to imply that I *trust* what the advertisments say. Only that they are useful in that they make me aware that a product and/or company exist. Then I can research them at sites like MetaCritic (thanks for the link BTW).

Their paying customers buy ads (mostly)....I don't think many people are going to buy ads from Google just because Google gave them free email...=)
There's nothing wrong with an angle, but I'm sure they have one.

What do current nuclear power plants do?

Perhaps we'll need to move to Write Only Memory (http://www.hyperdictionary.com/computing/write-on ly+memory) that only the CPU has access to.

77F is too warm? I keep my A/C on 75F. I'm just used to living in the south I guess.
You don't expect them to backport updates to all beta releases, do you?
Once Firefox 1.0 hits the shelves I'm sure it will get security updates for a long time even after it isn't the latest and greatest version.
maybe he meant it satrically?
Maybe you should talk to this guy.
many users have been flamed off the Internet due to his bad moods and compulsive control issues.
I can attest to this. My cousin, Larry, was flamed clear off the Internet by Theo De Raadt. To this day, he hasn't been able to return.
