I think it's always a good idea, if one is not using the installer, to unzip the build to a new directory . I keep 3 directories on my machine for mozilla:
Current Release
Previous Release (to compair)
Nightly
The current and previous releases both have different profiles for a little bit but then I merge them and just have 2 total profiles: nightly and release. This may seem like a lot of work, but it's been very usefull.
Good for them. Sue those bastards back to the stone-age.
As for spam, I go and read the ZDNet article and then hit "back" on my browser...what pops up but a FULL page browser window ad. A whole new browser for a single ad served up from ZDNet. How ironic is that?
In the time it took for you to "rant" on slashdot you could have clicked 1 link from the dnet stats page to go to www.distributed.net where you would have found everything you need to know.
I, for one, will be staying with the "amateur" sites (though it's hard to call Anandtech and Toms "amature" given the level of banner ads).
Why? Because ZD's site design gives me a headache. I really hate how it's designed. I know that Anandtech and Toms might not be the easiest to navigate, but I have gotten used to them: to their style and to their layout. ZD carries their own luggage into this venture, and it's luggage I don't wish to deal with. C|net used to be cool too, but I stopped using them a long time ago...
This was at the end of an email sent to me from an outside firm. It's not my companies (thank god(s)) but I figured it should be added to the mix:

embedded Flash sig files!
Wait just a minute. Are you saying that S11 doesn't know what the hell he's talking about?
Good lord! You've commited blasphemy.
Signal11 is the most intelligent person on this planet! Just look at what he has to say about every single issue ever posted on any web site in the known universe. He's so dead on every single time! Yay!

you're just asking for it when you do that.
use a dedicated spam catcher for posting on any forum anywhere on the web.

Not to nit-pick but I will (all in good fun) :)
Apple makes Personal Computers.
Personal Computers = PC
Apple makes PC's.
they were in Chicago as well.

As Mithrandir pointed out, this is exactly what my company is doing.
same problem as above and I tried that as well. no go. all streaming stuff seems to be blocked by the corp. firewall at my location as well.
bastards.
Thank you! Finally, someone with their head about them. I wish I points to mod your post up.
Uhm. Is it just me or isn't it:
Indie
not
Indy ?
Indy music would be music that comes from Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
Maybe I just need sleep...
Why the hell did this get marked as redundant?
Aside from the fact that moderators are generally clueless. Either that or Michael is on the loose again.

There are 3 screen shots from this flash embedded email.
I did just that. They weren't sure how "moron cunt" made you look more intelligent, but I assured them it did.
2 million last year in the black.
Not bad for mom and pop.
Well, given that I've got the guts to post as myself and not as AC, I think that should count toward something :)
Offtopic is probably the best choice though.

it's a hell of a lot more funny than your existance on this website that's for sure.
yours is just sad.
Not all. You just have to look for them.
I use a "mom and pop" for my dialup and I love it. Very personal support, competative rates, decent speeds.
hwo the fuck is this redundant?! jesus you fucking moderators are dumb as rocks.
This is a great quote. I was going to post here also about it.
75 to 150 to see the site WITH ads?
someone at nytimes needs to check copy more closely.
Just making sure I put my own works to actions:

I was wondering about that too. Why wouldn't the respecitive institutions be backing these folks up?
I didn't know about the Xerox connection though.
Sucks that they couldn't get a full backing from everone involved and say the hell with the RIAA.
mirror early, mirror often.
Just out of curiousity, did you scroll to the bottom of the page? :)
jesus christ moderators. get a clue.
