Firefox's "killer feature" was that it was released at exactly the right time, during the big IE security scare where everyone was looking for a free replacement. Opera had tabs ages before Firefox did.
Opera is smaller, faster and with features better integrated and streamlined. It can do what prety much most of the most popular Firefox extensions can, and without everything breaking with each release. Oh, and it's crazy fast and has the most responsive UI, period.
It is funny though to watch every Browser developer other than Google falling over themselves to get their own cherry picked benchmarks for their niche fanbase to cling to.
What right reasons? What exactly about killing kids was good? What was his motivation, why did he believe a single word, why did he need palpatine alive. Why did he not trust anyone.
Did you watch episode 3? He was a rebel, and the Jedi held him back from his full potential, and that caused him to not be powerful enough to save his mother, who died. This along with other things put him on a path of hatred towards the Jedi. Palpatine played of his insecurity and anger and promised to make him powerful so he could save anyone (like, duh, his GF?). He snapped.
Because being a teenager in puppy-love is a perfect reason to slaughter a hundred kids with a sword and then undertake an endeavor to enslave the entire universe.
Did he slaughter the kids before or after his mother died? I can't remember. He turned from love-sick puppy to angry teenager because he lost a loved one and felt that the Jedi had held him back and prevented him from saving his mother. If they hadn't held him back, if he had been able to become awesomely powerful, he thought he would have been able to save his mother.
Why and how did Darth Vader become so evil? How did he get seduced to the dark side?
Hmm, this was pretty obvious. He was arrogant and impatient all along. He lost his mother, which filled him with rage because he had been held back by the Jedi, and if he had become a powerful dude he thought he would have been able to save her. So he becomes more and more pissed with the assholes constantly holding him down, and then he risks losing another loved one, and that finishes the transformation. That was one of the better parts of the movie(s), I think.
Proponent: "AGW science is now settled science because there is a consensus as evidenced by the lack of peer-reviewed, published articles questioning it."
A pathetic straw man.
Skeptic: "Yeah but here's evidence of lengthy measures taken by other proponents to keep those types of articles out of publication."
There is none.
Skeptic: "...and here's a list of scientists that openly question the science behind your claims. Isn't that evidence against your consensus?"
Enter Project Steve.
Skeptic: "No, I was questioning your claim that AGW is accepted and settled science by the Scientific community."
There is no such thing as "settled science". But AGW is the consensus, and you can't escape that fact. Lists of kooks will not change that fact. Because those lists are full of fake signatures and people who aren't even scientists in any relevant fields. And also include relevant scientists who had no idea they were listed, and certainly want nothing to do with such lists.
Bottom line: Lists like these do not change the consensus. Just like the nonsense Project Steve is a parody of does not change the fact that the Theory of Evolution is the consensus among biologists.
it's no good attacking them based on the fact they export oil. all the climate researchers who advocate AGW have a budget dependant on global warming research funding, do we also attack them and cast doubt on their motives because of it?
No, because they are actually climate scientists. This Russian Institute of Economic Analysis garbage is a Libertarian think-tank, not a scientific organization, and certainly not a climate research institution.
Now that it appears serious scientific fraud was committed, we have "Even IF the data is fake, we should still spend several hundred billions dollars cause otherwise climate change will kill everyone on the planet".
Except there was no fraud, and no one is using that argument.
There's no irony here. Again, this is one Mozilla guy saying something. That doesn't necessarily represent Mozilla's official position. Secondly, if it did, it takes a while to migrate away from this kind of stuff.
Google is so big that its people don't talk to each other, to the extent that they are building two incompatible operating systems (Android and Chrome OS).
Yeah, I'm sure the Chrome OS haven't heard about Android at all. They never catch up on tech news, and no one at Google has Android phones. It's not like Android has been out for well over a year or anything. And I'm sure the execs had no idea about either Android or Chrome OS. Geez.
MozillaZine is not affiliated with Mozilla, AFAIK. Also, Schmidt didn't say that until recently. It takes time to migrate major sites away from systems like this. Get a grip, numbnuts.
I agree, this would be like the CEO of facebook saying, "Hey, if you don't want people seeing photos of you drunk, maybe you shouldn't be posting them to facebook." I think we could all agree that this is a perfectly sane thing to say, and in no way reflects badly on the site operators.
Actually, if people are to buy the "Cloud" hype, they will need to know that their data isn't compromised by adding it to the cloud. If I add a picture of myself piss drunk to Facebook and want only my friends to see it, that should be possible to do.

It's faster than the latest Chromium build. Firefox is not even in the same league.
No, final releases are usually more optimized.
No, they won't slow it down in the final version because they actually optimize the code.
Like the V8 benchmark, you mean? LOL.
The rebellion would have been crushed if Luke hadn't kicked evil Sith ass.

Didn't Hayden Christensen pull of a young Vader (movement, way of speaking) pretty darn well considering the completely retarded dialog?
Ahem, Opera Mini and the Bolt browser.
You were probably using Opera Mobile 8. Opera Mobile 10 kicks the shit out of everything else. Yes, it handles full scale web pages and all that.
A pathetic straw man.
There is none.

Experience shows this to be the case, yes. The same right-wing religious nuts are behind both the FUD against Evolution and AGW.
Except there was no fraud, and no one is using that argument.
No there wasn't. This was not scientific consensus at all. Watch this to educate yourself.
This right-wing think tank about economy is not doing science. It's doing the regular climate denier industry dance.
Where are you seeing that?
Yeah, except that was the press saying so, not the scientists. Watch this video. So your argument falls apart.

One guy in Mozilla posted his personal opinion. So you are off the mark, as I said.
There's no irony here. Again, this is one Mozilla guy saying something. That doesn't necessarily represent Mozilla's official position. Secondly, if it did, it takes a while to migrate away from this kind of stuff.
