  1. Buy Signature for Firefox installing ActiveX on How Can I Trust Firefox? · · Score: 1

    Make ActiveX that replaces Explorer with Firefox and buy digital signature for it.

  2. There is retarded government on FireFox as a Security Risk Compared to IE? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In Poland only electronical way to submit tax returns is by Windows-only closed-source program "Patnik" (made by Prokom, an unlawful goverment software monopolist)

    Software itself is bloated s**t and government refuses to make it open-source. Bribes, bribes, bribes...

  3. Re:One Word... on User-centric GUI Design Explained to All · · Score: 1

    Firefox was in one of the examples of BAD design.

    Current browser GUI layout is crazy when you think about it:

    Back button = top left
    Close button = top right
    plus typical IE usage:
    Switch between windows = bottom
    Scroll = right

    That is worst Fitts' nightmare! Mouse goes all over the screen!

    In this case mouse gestures are ideal solution, but unfortunately most users are too stupid to help themselves use the software.

  4. fixed. was "Not critical" anyway on Cross-Platform Java Sandbox Exploit · · Score: 1

    It is not worse. News mentions "Highly Critical" bug, while the one that affects Opera is "Not Critical": http://secunia.com/advisories/13257/ It is fixed already, in beta version though. http://snapshot.opera.com

  5. The SPEED on New G3-Based Platform Runs Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    MorphOS on Pegasos boots in 2 seconds. I've seen it. You can only dream of such quick responsivness on Win.

    It's written from scratch, modernized clone of AmigaOS (which ran fine on 7mhz machine).

    Its new platform and new os, but its fully usable now. New features show up every day. I find it very good compromise between ease of use of mac and total control of linux.

    Platform is easy to develop for, and Genesi supports developers [http://www.phinixi.com/about.php]
