"Seriously, why would you choose Opera over Firefox?"
Because our dumbass IT department says we cannot use Firefox and made us unintall it. Why, I don't know. But I like Opera better than IE - just barely. Thus far, the IT police have not detected Opera on my system.
Personally, I think Opera sucks. I frequently see it chewing up huge amounts of CPU bandwidth just sitting there. A lot of pages don't render properly on it and some I have found I cannot read at all. The only thing I like about Opera over IE is the ability to have tabs.
You are right. I think hard drives have gotten to be TOO cheap - I guess there is such a thing. The emphasis seems to be on performance and capacity. I am also interested in reliability. I presume the manuafacturers think that if a unit fails after a few months, you will be buying another one. I personally am afraid to send in a HD because of the personal information on them so the warranty is sort of meaningless. Besides, the warranty doesn't cover data recovery - that is your responsibilty.
I recently had 2 SATA drives configured as raid 0 fail. I did have a external firewire backup drive and it failed about a week before. That left me asking "why me?".
These were all Maxtor drives. In the past, I have had Western Digital drives fail as well as Toshiba laptop HDs. I bought some Seagate drives to replace my recently deceased Maxtors but I as what drive manufacturer doesn't suck!?
Dumbasses.
My HDTV doesn't have this connector and it is only about a year old. Hell, I don't even know what it (HDMI) is yet. So, my guess is I am not going to be buying a player. This is right up there with the BetaMax. It was technically superior to VHS but which one won market share.
"HP Invent"
Nah, that was that other bitch's slogan. The new slogan should be: HP - fuck 'em Harder and Phaster.
Anyway, who cares? I don't buy ANYTHING HP anymore. Its all shit.

Every single computer I own has IE on it. Not because I want to have it, but because I have to. I use Firefox 99.999999% of the time.
...until about 1 second ofter someone uses one against you.
