    Whatever you do, absolutely do not try this with RealPlayer on Vista. That has the potential to result in catastrophic buffering.

    It's relatively easy to modify their script to redirect IE users. This would not only drive the IE users away from your site, but also wastes the resources of the anti-firefox site.

    Then, write some Swing components that have nothing to do with all of this, and call those by almost exactly the same names, so that people get confused and can't do a proper Google search for documentation.

    You know, you can avoid these kinds of naming problems if you just add a few more subdomains to your website.

    If you frame the stock certificates, you could probably sell them to linux geeks at far above their market value. A company did this with enron certificates a few years ago.
