The Media Bar is the thing that pops up on the side (just like the Mozilla sidebar) and plays media (such as WMA files) in that little sidebar like thing automatically. I personally don't care for it. But if I'm going to mention the sidebar, I should mention the Media Bar.
IE vs. Mozilla? Yeah, lets look at the facts, shall we?

Enough with the generalized comments like "my browser is better then your browser" or "your browser doesn't render pages as good as mine" etc... Show some URLs and straight up facts.
That's going on the redicules assumption that people with less money are not as good or "respectful" as people with more money, and visa versa; people with more money are somehow more "respectful" then people with less money.
Let me see here. Napster starts up and everyone is talking about music like never before, and there are record *high* music sales. The Record Industry Ass. shuts Napster down, some clones pop-up (Gnutella, FastTrack, etc...) but they don't really focus on music, then there is a tragic terrerist attack to America, the economy just goes down the drain, and then record sales drop. Hmmm, yep, all signs point to file swapping services.

I have been using this method for a long time, I don't know how new that article is, but I used it a long time ago to not only block all the spambots I could find, but all of the software for mirroring my webpage as well.
Here is a longer list of common spam bots and mirror bots that I have been able to find:

I have a Linksys BEFS41 and I love it. For only $99 it supports everything the more expensive ones do, and I have had no problems like that at all. The top of the one I have is flat as well, also port forwarding is availible on the one I have with static IP addresses. It also supports DHCP. Pretty nice.
"could have put Netscape out of business"
Paleeese! They already have. Put up a website that gets a decent amount of hits, then check out the server log. On mine there is like 1 person a week if I'm lucky that visits it that/doesn't/ use Internet Explorer.
I'm glad I use a Cable Modem and I don't have to deal with that crap. Twice the speed at half the cost of DSL and I don't have to deal with the cable company going out of business, what a deal.
For $40/per month I get 1.5mb/s cable. Sure the speeds are not constent, however I would rather have speeds anywhere from 400kb/s to 1,500kb/s with a free modem, and the ISP is included. Then having to pay that price for 300kb/s or so all the time, plus you have to find a ISP, and most places make you buy a modem seperate. Not to mention most people end up waiting months to get their DSL installed, I waited just 3 days.
Yes, there are people who get fast DSL cheap and installed in an hour, and people who get slow cable expansive and installed in six months and have to buy a modem. The things I said simply apply in most cases.
...that the people that believe shows such as this and "Alien Autopsy" tend to live in the south and vote Republican.
Of course, we know Rupert Murdoch's target audience is these very people.
I found a good site that explains in detail why NASA really did land on the moon for real. It is http://www.redzero.demon.co.uk/moonhoax/. It also has a page set-up to anwser people's questions about the FOX tv show that was on. It is a very good site, and after reading it you would have to be really stupid to still believe that the Apollo 11 landing was a hoax.
What about schools and other public computers? Most schools use Netscape 4x/3x and most districts will not spend the time to upgrade all of them. Not to mention the idiots still using IE.

Our local news station did a story on those. They didn't work worth crap.

Kazaa has nothing to do with Gnucleus, is not "decended" from it, uses no code from it, and is not related to it in any way, shape, or form.

lol, if it wasen't for Netscape there would be no such thing as JavaScript rofl. Netscape invented JavaScript for god sakes.
I thought it would be nice for Red Hat to have such a huge company backing them.

Uh, then what's he on the payroll for?
I don't think that anyone would make an anti-microsoft website with Microsoft FrontPage anyways. That wouldn't make much sense.

It was a joke man. That is one of the lines in many of the letters sent by Microsoft.
Um, the same people do not moderate. Different people become moderators every few days, and those people are no longer moderators ofter 3 days.
