No Download Manager

On: Which is Better, Firefox or Opera?

I think Firefox is the best browser out there at the moment. The one thing Opera has that I think Firefox is missing is a resumable download manager integrated right in. I could always download one and there are tons available for Linux but not really any good ones for Windows. They are either too bulky or have too many ads.

Spreading Firefox Bad?

On: 1 Million Firefoxes in 4 Days

Since everyone and their dog could potentially be using Firefox in the future, could this be a bad thing? Crackers and Viruses galore for Firefox or would the open source team be able to deal with them? Not that I don't like Firefox, I love it. It's just that Viruses spread best on the most popular systems.

I Hate Email

On: A Day In The Life Of A Spammer

Am I the only one who hates email? People send way too much of it for unimportant things and there is so much spam, you can't get anything done. It almost seems like instant messaging is better than email.

By the time the future rolls around we'll be looking even further ahead so we won't care what is happening in the present.
