''Intel has recently come out with the Pentium II Mach 4 Core Processor. The new wave in disposable CPU's, the Mach four features not one, not two, not three, not five, but FOUR incredibly dull processing cores used to reap your winrar/gcc/wintools/botnet/adware/windows processes!
"We're very proud of the Pentium II Mach 4 Core Processor", says Intel CEO Linda Gates. "Back in what we here at Intel now refer to as the dark ages of Single Core Barbarianism, the consumer had to actually process trojans on a single CPU. Bearskins and knives anyone?! Ha HA... But now, with the Mach 4, uh, mimble murble..."
ok, normally i'm content to deal with factual errors, but honestly - please try to to get it straight: tesla invented and discovered both dc and ac; he abandoned dc because at the time it sucked, like other posters have pointed out already. edision then promptly stole it like the damn thief that he was, as he had stolen so many other inventions before it. even the god damn light bulb: edision stole the very idea of using a vacuum in a glass tube from a bunch of german guys whose names elude me at the moment.
i will not argue with the edision is a national hero: that he is, a true usa mofo following the true american business backstabbing b** to the very true end where his entire true life is a lie engraved in true history.
has anyone considered the fact that the rather sharp increase in ff over the last couple months might be related to other businesses and companies using/porting ff to their own uses? (eg universities etc.). Don't get me wrong -- i totally agree with using ff over ie for ohhhh so many endless reasons -- but i cannot see *ALL* of the increase as due to just the average joe suddenly getting struck by lightning and saying "oh, i'm gonna go back me a fire sponge browser today."
i, for one, believe that a large -- if not the larger -- majority of ff adoption is not due to the average home user, but rather due to businesses / organizations using ff and including ff in their packages and plans (whether its indirectly ['the it guy said do this'] or directly [an entire policy is made for it] is irrelevent).
