Opera is the most rounded for the tabbed/mouse gesture browser. It takes a major crisis like your hardisk dying for Opera to loose the session, it always keeps the pages you visited when you closed the browser (or it crashed, it does happen sometimes), and that can be very handy if you been tracking some obscure problem and don't want to loose your place.
Firefox is the most versatile. It can do anything you want it to and then some. For web development it is beyond compare, the best browser ever. The performance can be a bit slow at times and not all the features are terribly well integrated. Its tabbed browsing for instance looses its sessions if the download window was open when you close the browser. "Oops, wasn't the download window your session? No you lame git, it was not." Same with mouse gestures, they work, but not as smooth as Opera. But then, opera doesn't have all those extensions.
Chrome is fast and with Youtube HTML5 support it makes the site very smooth. But it is also bare bones. I use it as the default "emergency" browser. With all my firefox dev extensions and about a gazillion open pages in Opera, if I need a browser fast or a program insists on opening a page in the default browser, then Chrome is the one. But as said, it has virtually no extensions (yet) and lacks stuff that Opera has offered for years now by default and you can easily enable in Firefox.
Safari. Well, I got a mac, but frankly, it might or might not be good, but just how many browsers do I need? It is okay, but like many Apple products, it is rather hard on the 'you will use it as we want it' and lacks the features of all the others. Chrome without the google...
Windows and Linux are not the same. Windows only patches once per month. Linux patches almost never. Because we are not comparing an OS with a distro are we?
Ubuntu patches fairly regular, but that is a LOT more then just the OS/Desktop AND it includes upgrades. IE only has major releases and patches but firefox alone is regularly updated and expanded. So how you do you compare the two.
The problem for windows users is that they have got all these seperate programs to take care off. All with their own methods for keeping up-to-date. For linux it is just a single command to update everything, but a windows user got to have a dozen "check latest version" proggies running.
50k? Oh wow. For a "site" that is available around the world, that is pathetic. A dutch only site already does 10k easily. So 50k for the entire world is nothing.
You can talk about classical music to kids until you are blue in the face, but "when the cannon goes off" tends to be the seller:P
Oh, proper musical experts might scoff at it, but it sells the stuff to the crowd, and who knows, they might sit through the rest because of it. It also makes death metal seem tame. Biting the head of a chicken vs artillery.
He wants to compare similar data from social networks to identify people. So, a person who has something to hide is going to give his real birthday on all sites he uses to hide on? Why?
It would be like me creating a false passport, with my real data. How about getting a fake id, with your real age to get into bars?
How about a fake University diploma, that shows you failed... A fake doctors license, that has 'revoked' stamped on it? How about stealing the bank details, from a homeless person.
A lot of the people who think you can reason with terrorists follow the logic that if only women didn't upset men, they wouldn't be raped.
It takes two to tango, it takes one to start a war.
If you say "I have no problem with X", then you are both extremely arrogant and sticking your head in the sand. You suggest that you are the only one who matters in this relationship. That if you don't hate them, how can they possibly hate you? It is "If I can't see them, they can't see me". A very childish way to deal with fear.
Oh, and btw, if you defend that all sorts of Muslims can strike against the US for perceived wrongs in the past, then you have given every Jew in the world the right to kill any European. Can Israel fire missiles at Germany for obvious reasons? Can native-americans start bombing American immigrants (that is you whitey) for the occupation of their homeland?
On the subject of propaganda, does an American view the Super Bowl as basically a couple of hours of propaganda? The "this great nation of ours" message is spread a bit thick. Is it propaganda to have the color red in a communist country but patriotism to have the US flag on everything in the US?
But hey, I agree, this is just a re-branded Linux. Just what is the big deal? And ripping of windows? It is just a basic KDE layout. If they ripped of anything, they ripped of Apple, and Xerox before. It is basic stuff. Did everyone go "ooh windows 7 all of sudden has HUGE icons only on the taskbar, how OSX like?".
If any other country launched its own linux distro, we would applaud. NK does it, and apparently it is a bad thing. Sure, there are plenty of bad things about NK but can we focus on those issues on their own. It kinda feels insulting to the people dying from hunger and being tortured to bitch about the country rebranding firefox as if it matters.
Don't get me wrong, South Korea is far more free then its joke of a neighbour but SK is not exactly the most established democracy in the world.
Basically, SK is what you get if the Americans win. Vietnam is what you get if the communists win. Which only proofs that in war, there are no winners.
Both countries got their oddities (Vietnam vs SK, not talking about NK in this bit) were live as an ordinary citizen is not as an American (and to a lesser extent a European) would expect it.
The east has a lot of experimentation done by the west, giving it some really odd countries. Hong-Kong, a capitalists wet-dream in a communist country. If you wrote it in a piece of fiction, nobody would believe you.
They are interesting places to visit, but it is best to leave your western expectations of how the system is run behind. Just as an american might find the dutch system of 20+ political parties confusing, and a dutch person has a hard time seeing the difference between the soviet system "you can choose between this guy and this guy" and the US system.
They are NOT in violation of the GPL. North Korea is a sovereign nation that does not have the same copyright laws. How can it violate laws it does not have?
There are many countries in the world that violate the laws of others countries. The US is pretty hot on that list with its state killings, oops executions. It is against several international agreements to kill children, the US kills children, but hasn't agreed to these agreements.
International politics are often hard to understand because people are unable to think beyond their own country. No, not everyone in England has infinity points on their driving license because they drive on the wrong side of the road. In England, you get points for driving on the right side of the road. It is their law that counts, not yours.
Labours election strategy is roughly: "What choice do you have?"
Anyone who can remember back to Major and Thatcher... well... all of sudden Blair ain't all that bad. France had the same problem. Elect the crook or the extremist.
Democracy: "Choose me, because I am not as bad as the others".
I don't get it either, but then I am from Holland. That much water here would get the city around, because you just flooded the bloody country. 3000 liters a day? Just how much comes out of a tap anyway?
3 TONS of water. For one house. No wonder the US uses close to 10 times the amount of resources of decent human beings.
The snuff porn person is going to be far to gentle. I have worked with pregnant women. I long for the comforting embrace of death as I sit up at night 20 years later, still afraid to close my eyes.
Yeah, it is not like the Chinese, Russians, Indians or even the EU agency wouldn't call the NASA out on this. There is being a skeptic and there is being a blithering idiot. Guess what group you fall into?
They don't have the patent, it is a lie. You are not allowed to do that. If you start allowing this kind of stuff, well then you get the world we have today. Where filming your kid dancing to prince gets you a lawyer letter.
And no, they did not forget. Companies of these sizes don't forget anything. Or maybe they should spend half of the resources they spend on EULA's on actually checking wether what they are claiming is legal. Oops, that is the EULA's down the drain as well, even more time to check things.
This is simple a case of false advertising. The companies that are being sued labelled their products wrong. "Oh I forgot". Yeah, likely story. I see they did NOT forget to put the patent claim on the product. How odd is that eh?
If it is going to cost the likes of Monster Cable a few millions or even bankrupt them to get false patent claims of products, then I am all for it, and the people bringing these cases making a fortune? Well sometimes the person who cleans up the system gets paid.
Say that someone found a way to make serious money of prosecuting companies sending fake copyright take down notices, would we be against that as well? No.
Sometimes you need to cheer on the slime to get rid of the scum.

That is fitting, so the space program will match the economy the republicans left the current administration.
IE6 is a piece of shit and the devs who build would either have to be criminally incompetent or they did it on purpose.
And IE7 is little better. It is just XP compare to Vista. When you are the bottom, every direction is up.
Really, all the other browsers are good.
Rough comparison:
Now all we need is for MS to build a browser.
See, you proof it.
And to remain on-topic: HAHA!
Odd that you just happen to leave out the corrupt goverment employees being hunted. Showing that this is a citizens effort, not a government one.
In the west, we the people just let the bankers get away with the hardship they caused. Like in Iceland. Not one of the bankers has been arrested.
No, this has nothing to do with dicatorship. And americans love this idea, it is the basis of the superhero.
Moves Qzukk's post to the "wouldn't it be cool if" section and votes NO!
Mmm, works nicely.

That is what the story about.
50k? Oh wow. For a "site" that is available around the world, that is pathetic. A dutch only site already does 10k easily. So 50k for the entire world is nothing.
And how many of the people logged in are bots?
Windows NT/2K/XP/Vista/7?
Com/ActiveX/.net
Need I go on?
So, you write your shopping list on the old stuff?
Hope you never run out of toilet paper.

Oh, proper musical experts might scoff at it, but it sells the stuff to the crowd, and who knows, they might sit through the rest because of it. It also makes death metal seem tame. Biting the head of a chicken vs artillery.
They just play classical music, properly over fairly decent speakers.
Oh and what are you for assuming?

Nope, didn't think so.

Would you want to be the guy having to retrieve it from the other end?
And this btw is the real life proof of the crypto-nerds fantasy being just that, a fantasy.
Crypto-nerd: Ooh I encrypted this file with a secret password that they can't break with a thousand super-computers.
Secret service: Hit him with this stick until he tells everything. If he doesn't, well that proves he was an highly trained enemy agent.
And WAY to give the game away. Now they know exactly where to look and that there is something to look for.

We're as good-natured as any Americans.
So you admit it eh? Seriously, not exactly helping your case here.
Two weeks ago, 20 euro's to a guy to get to a shelter for a week.
How many American's can say they did the same eh? None. (Think about it for a second)
This is simple a case of false advertising. The companies that are being sued labelled their products wrong. "Oh I forgot". Yeah, likely story. I see they did NOT forget to put the patent claim on the product. How odd is that eh?
