The Firefox developers are serious security professionals. They have probably attended over two conferences on security, and may even own a copy of "Linux Hacking Exposed". So stop questioning their logic; they have obviously spent centuries longer than you considering this topic.

There's also the necessary and proper clause in there.

I'm sure some smug slashdotters will equate this to the 640k quote, but tell me exactly how my need for digital data downloaded to my PC is going to go much higher in the next ten years?
Tell me anything about technology in the next 10 years. It is you that is being smug. Your argument boils down to, I don't want bandwidth why should anyone else.
Unless you are some kid who thinks he is 'sticking it to the man' by downloading every single hollywood movie in HD
I don't get it. Why did you offer any money to someone trying to scam you? How did you figure out it was a scam, other than the cheap price? It all sounds good but the details don't make sense to me.
10.5 was a disaster on my htpc mac mini. It crashed often without a screensaver, and even gave a slight ghosting to my lcd tv. It was slower and the only compelling feature(time machine) while useful, was annoying in the complete lack of configurability. The new frontrow was inferior to the old. I ended up switching to linux where I got way more things to work and work better. Like alsa upmixing to dolby digital and realtime reencoding of high bit rate dolby digital that my receiver can't handle.
Power. They want it and don't want to share. The shareholders didn't fight, they couldn't even if they wanted to. All the VP's and CXO's would have had half the position they had previously.
There are a few features in firefox that made me stay using firefox over opera even on my slow computer.
First it's the way firefox remembers your passwords. If you have trouble remembering passwords then it doesn't make sense to ask you if you want to remember the password before you logged in. Firefox (as far as I know) is the only browser right now that doesn't have that brain dead behavior. Firefox lets you log in, see if you logged in correctly and then you can tell it to remember.
Second when using find. Firefox doesn't popup a big ass dialog in front of the web page you are trying to find stuff in. Safari also does a good job with this. Opera pops up a big ass dialog.
The extensions keep me using firefox everywhere. I like noscript, especially for a slower computer, I don't care if another browser can do javascript faster if I can disable all the shitty javascript. Ad block plus is also nice. Weave is starting to get good. Google toolbar is nice for filling in forms. And download status bar keeps another window out of the way.
If opera could implement those first two features, come with a better adblocking list and I could get over the busy interface I would switch. It is a faster cleaner browser. For now, it's firefox 3.0 bliss.

I get it, they are snobby security professionals.
IIRC there's a way in /proc to see how many amps you are drawing.
Being told there's an embargo is different from agreeing to shutup.

you mean it will be like the old days again . . .
many cell phone companies will allow you to skip the credit check and just put down a deposit.
what?
really?
again?
At the very least the ATM manufacturer should be blamed for lacking a set of balls.
>> Certainly not the end user. The end user of BSD code can do damn near whatever he wants with it,
Yeah, as an end user I can do whatever I want with the imaginary code that came with my NT4 tcp/ip stack.

You are right, the GPL comes with heavy strings. They have no affect on the end user. It doesn't affect users in any way, only distributors.
GPL has always been a way to use copyright against itself. Go read RMS's rant about why he invented the GPL.
>> Isn't the entire point of the GPL to restrict others' freedom? Am I taking crazy pills?
You called it. Crazy pills. The BSD is the license that allows you to restrict freedom. The GPL doesn't allow that.
Tell me anything about technology in the next 10 years. It is you that is being smug. Your argument boils down to, I don't want bandwidth why should anyone else.
There it is smug emissions. Fuck you.

It all sounds good but the details don't make sense to me.

it's never been a right to hapiness only to the pursuit.
soda is usually taxed higher and sales tax exclusions do not apply.
There was only one football game in Britain and it involved the Dolphins on shitty english grass, so I wouldn't call it real.

yeah, not yet, do it after I'm done downloading it. This whole record thing is dumb.
>> The trick is figuring out which people you can trust.
That's not a trick. It's easy. Trust no one.
yeah and the civic used to be the smallest honda. Now there's a smaller one. So you should be comparing today's fit with yesterday's civic.
