Tiny Personal Firewall is vastly superior and completely free for personal use. I combined it with TCPTunnel for Win32 (for port forwarding). The two products work fine together and can easily protect a whole lan if ICS is used under XP or 2000.
The source is available for the port forwarder. The firewall is ICSA certified.
Haven't the stupid fucking cunts worked out yet that all they gain by using pop-up adds, hijacking the "back" button, full-screening the window and turning the titlebar off and trying to install random crap...

Three years after the Racoon City incident, a lonely scientist at Umbrella Corporation is relieving his sexual tension using a small furry mammal and some duct tape. Unfortunately his penis is covered in the T-Virus.
I have that same release, it seems. I got a.img file from edonkey that turned out to be actually.img.sit, which then did not de-stuffitize itself on the imac, but did on the pc, producing puma something blah blah macosx.toast, and now I can't do fuck all with it.
I tried an dfs iso -> real iso program but it said the file wasn't a multiple of (something) long.
And btw, I wouldn't worry about being off-topic. How can you possibly be off-topic on April-Fools' day with/. posting all this nonsense. (/. editors would get into real trouble if we had another terrorist attack like 9/11 on 4/1 as everyone would think they were making a sick joke...)
"But the default ones will still be there, and will be the default for the operating system"
No, you can make mozilla your default browser, and winamp your default mp3 player etc.
You may at this point moan that MS progs will still use IE to display html help. Well, that's no different from a netscape application using mozilla to display help...
I was just thinking it would be cool if you had a "lifetivo". When you were born you could use live pause, then when ever there was a nasty or boring part of your life you could FF through it.
Then I realised that your life would only seem two weeks long.
Well, duh! Allowing your child to venture off-world without your permission could lead to all sorts of bad mojo, not least of which is kidnapping or murder by Goa'uld forces...
"We need electronic user interfaces that are just as comfortable and intuitive as paper"
So you are one of those people who go up to a computer monitor and go: "How the fuck do I use this then?"
Paper is no more or less "intuitive" than an electronic screen. Maybe you feel that is is because you physically hold the paper, but all your "intuitive" responses to paper (screwing it up, writing on it, passing it to someone) are all learned.
There will come a time in the not too distant future when the new youth (with giant thumbs) find it harder to deal with a sheet of paper than their email client. (They'll probably tap their finger on the top right of it when they've finished reading it).

Similarly, if you want to murder Bill Gates, do it very early on the 1st April. No-one will EVER believe it is true. Probably not even the cops!

Things people always forget about in Star Trek:
0 what "normal" space, with no anomolies in it looks like
1 The EM interference
2 The secondary power relays
3 Recalibrating the main sensor array
4 Sending a tachyon burst through the main deflector
5 the shape-shifting alien in the eps conduit
6 That you can't really delete files in FederationOS, that your fractal encryption will be beaten in 5 seconds, and that tampering with log files ALWAYS leaves traces of some kind
7 The "don't use above warp 5 unless it's an emergency" rule
8 That ever since the Bev Crusher incident they have proof that they can cure any disease and become effectively immortal and ageless by using the dna in a strand of hair to replicate the person in the transporter
