  1. Re:The real test... on Firefox Gains on IE Again in June · · Score: 1

    I'm not so sure of that. Oh well, we'll just have to keep installing it on people's computers... I would hope to see some exponential spread, but maybe the conditions which would lead to it doesn't happen very often since even if non computer-savvy people like it they probably won't know how to install it on their friend's PCs...

    On the other hand, I wonder - will the reasons for installing Firefox still be valid when Longhorn comes out? Will IE still attract malware like shit attracts flies? We'll have to wait and see.

  2. Notice this however on Firefox Gains on IE Again in June · · Score: 3, Informative

    One thing to note - in the end it says this:

    Attention, il est important de noter que cette étude a été effectuée sur un week-end, où l'utilisation de Firefox est toujours plus importante qu'en semaine. La différence demeure importante entre les usages domicile et les usages au bureau (2 à 3 points en moyenne).

    Which roughly means, if my french skills haven't yet totally dissapeared, that the study was made in the weekened, which slighly slants the study because Firefox is more used at people's homes than at work. But the last sentence says the difference between Firefox @ home and @ work is only of 2 or 3%, on average.

    RTFA before posting people, the way the submitter has stated this study's findings is too inflamatory and trollish in my opinion.

    I agree. However, I'm afraid that it would be more probable to lose the shuttle due to a bigger non-detected problem than from those nitpicking problems... Anyway, good luck to NASA and I hope all goes well :)

    So we have a choice between "correct" and "fast"? I'd much rather go with both (who wouldn't?) but if I had to pick, I'd go with "correct".
