For one thing, having the browser so tightly tied into the operating system often causes the whole system to lock up when the browser crashes(at least in most of my experiences).
No, it dosn't. IE5 has crashed on me about twice since I got it (comparatively, windows itself crashes about once every two days). When it did, it did not bring down the OS. In fact, it didn't even close all my browser windows. In linux terms, IE isn't a part of the 'kernel' it's part of the 'window manager', and with IE5 (unlike IE4) It dosn't even bring down windows exsplorer when it crashes.
Secondly, if the browser is compromised by an intruder, the system is more easily accessed than if the browser wasn't tied so closely to the OS.

Look, the fact is netscape dosn't suport standards correctly, unless you consider "CSS" and "Tables" and "Java 2.0" to be propritary IE features (Yes, I've had trouble with tables in netscape, each cell has the background in a table, even when the table itself has no background and its in another cell).

You can say, and write whatever you please (as long as isn't direct threat)
This kid didn't write a story about shooting up his school, he wrote a story about accidentally killing a friend while he was high (you did read the story, right?), If the school didn't like it, and appropriate thing would have been to give him a 0, not throw him in jail. No, the school didn't have to accept the story, but they had no right to Incarcerate him. That is simply insane, and illegal.

I have a little brother in HS. I wan't every kid talking about shooting another kid immediately in prison.
yeh, who cares about context, or actual danger, lets just lock everyone up who 'thinks different'. Do they dress funny? Lock 'em up! God forbid we should have freedom of expression, or anything like that. If everyone who talked about killing someone did, there would be no humans left on earth. Would you be able to look me in the eyes, and tell me that you've never, ever uttered the words "I want to kill them" I seriously doubt it.
I don't want to have my brother dead because the school didn't want to violate some kids rights.
Out of the millions and millions of children in school, only a handful have ever died. Trampling on hundreds of thousands of peoples rights, putting people in jail for there words, is hardly worth it. Just because you can't quantify reality doesn't mean that we should take archaic action against something that you are less likely to die from then having an airplane fall directly onto you're head
PEOPLE UNDER 18 HAVE NO RIGHTS!
Where the hell did you hear that? People under 18 have certain restrictions placed upon them, to protect others from there poor decisions. They can't vote, because they'd screw up our democracy. They can't choose to drink or smoke because it's believed that they might make the wrong decisions regarding those things. However, they do have rights. If you believe they don't then all I can say is that you're an idiot. Other then that, they enjoy all the rights that we have, including freedom of speech.

I would hardly call it 'threatining' infact the shotings were acidental There were no threats whatsoever!

Star Wars and Titanic are completly diffrent things, one is a 'timeless classic' and the other will be forgoten shortly, sure no one cares about titanic anymore, but people still do and will, care about Star Wars.
Also, with starwars, There will be no VHS releases ether (AFAIK), so there won't be any revinue loss to VHS.
I was thinking of buying the Matrix on VHS (that was before the goodVCD came out), but it would have cost me $79, or half as much as a cheap DVD player.
