The way I read that paragraph is security should be a standard feature of a browser, and should be the basic buliding block of a successful browser. I don't think he made any comment on whether security is important in winning market share either way. In fact, I found the whole article focusing less on market shares, and more on improving the art of browser making for the sake of a better browser for users.
He was the designer of IE4 + IE5. I remember they were both lightyears ahead of Netscape in terms of interface, look + feel, and rendering engine at the time. So I don't think it would be fair to bash him that way.
This is precisely one exception to the case of worrying too much about terrorism. Cutting off the cable could have huge consequences since if the cable (made up of ultra strong material), falls back to earth, and falls in the path of cities all over the world.
This was addressed (iirc) in Red Mars when the Marian freedom fighter did precisely that.
I am in the same position as you John - I live on a universtiy campus with a restrictive firewall that won't connect to steam.
I buy most of the games I play since I want to support games developer into making more of the kind of games I want to play.
Blizzard had a great way of making people buy the game. No activation for single player but in order to play multiplayer online, you have to go via battle.net. That way, for the casual gamer who won't buy the game anyway, they can crack the game. For me however, even if I spend most of my time in campus where I can get hold of the cracked version easily, I will still gladly pay Blizzard for the game since you can tell it's a labour of love, and the game itself doesn't punish me or make my life difficult.
Now for Half life 2, I will simply have to do without buying the game. If a cracked copy become easily available, I will of course download it and not feel any gulit.
Games are meant to be entertainment, not something I should spend hours/days working on a workaround.

I think he would have been in the same position as me - Being in an university campus with an http proxy.
I can access/download from the web at great speed, but yet I discovered today that I was not able to run Half Life 2 because my "internet connection" does not support steam.
I am just wondering if any of you fellow university student has found a way past the HTTP proxy?
Just a quick note to say that Savage was an innovative and brilliant game, and you should be very proud in working on such a ground breaking game.
Thank you very much:)

How do I go about creating an Sock proxy with ssh? I would be extremely grateful for any instruction, since I have been googling without success :(
