    yes,
    But every one uses software differently.
    These differences translate into a diffenrent expirence from each person. So just because he could run FireFox hims self, is no guarantee to finding all the issues.

    It seems perfectly reasonable it wnat input from other people.

    So it seems.

    *Sheesh*

    ok

    i need to protest the redundant comment.
    i know it is an oft over used line, with no hurmor value, but i did check before i posted and i saw no linux comment in this article.
    or is the linux comment now just redundant by default?

    Ok, I get sick of all the people who are so short sighted that they cannot see things as cause and effect. There is a great error with the above thinking as well as a very inherent danger. The world that some people must live in to believe that live is so simple and black and white defies my comprehension, but yet it persists. There is a very important question that should be asked. It is one that Tom Brokaw said on 11 September 2001, while there was chaos on the airways and no oversight. While some people were free still to speak their minds. He said something along the lines "We have to ask ourselves, how can people hate the US this much. What is it that allows this level of hate to exist in people."

    That, I think this is the pivotal issue. Hate does not happen out of thin air. Think of someone you hate, dislike, would like to see dead. Most of us harbor or have harbored these feelings at some point in our lives, and when you think about it, these feelings do not sprout up, like the spontaneous generation of life, from thin air. Some event or series of events have happened to create that level of emotion inside. It could be an abusive parent, a messy breakup with an old boyfriend/girlfriend, some type of injustice visited upon you, a loved on having been killed by someone, a drunk drive for example.

    If one follows the thought, especially if you use yourself as the blueprint it, should be apparent that hate isn't going to leap out from thin air. It needs a breeding ground. Sometimes this breeding ground can be generation after generation of injustice, whether perceived or actual being passed from parents to children, but even has not come about from isolation.

    It is easy to want to look at our own countries and believe we have no sins, regardless if we are American, Irish, Arab, Israeli, Chinese, Russian, or some other. Some countries, the US being the most flagrant example practice what I call the abusive husband/boyfriend method of foreign policy. Arrogance leads someone to terrorize a person treating them like a second class citizen, putting unreasonable demands on the person physically, mentally and spiritually abusing them. Often the person will take it believing the lies. The distorted reality field to effects them too. But once in a while, sometimes, one of these oppressed persons strike back snapping tired of the lies and the terror, even sometime killing the abuser. Not always condonable, but understandable. This is the US's method of foreign policy.

    The problem is, lots of time if the circumstances are not known to those outside, it can look like the person who lased out, trying in desperation to be heard, of find at least some peace was just crazy. The abuser then, if not killed feels then justified in more of the abusive behavior. This is the US's role, its foreign policy. Abusing the countries of the world treating some as second or third class citizens, feeling it has the right to behave however it wants to. And, when someone lashes back points to their behavior, not its own as 'proof' that these others are dangerous, and unreasonable. Not being able to be trusted they need to be punished for wanting to have some form of self-determinism. While on the other side, free from the ugly burden of facts, this hostility is evidence for harsher methods and stronger tactics. Crush the resistance, those who would kill women and children. Tt worked so well against the Native American populations too.

    The insidious part of this whole scheme is that once the hate has been created it is nigh impossible to put the genie back in the bottle. But then the abuser also thinks that they are right and they can also convince others that they are correct too.

    If the US took the money spent on war, and used it to build up these parts of the world give the people hope and futures, it would do more to reduce the treat of terrorism than all the bombs and tanks and bullets combined. But alas that would put a dent in the mighty profit.
