I don't know where else to complain, but it's very slow. Slower than Opera. Slower than IE, but everyone will say "Dat's cuz IE iz built into Windows!x16" even though that's not the whole story (why be honest when a lie is better propaganda?). I like Firefox, mostly. I've learned to use it as intuitively as any other browser. I can even overlook its utterly slug-stupid cache handling. But... ever hear that Bob Marley song "Waiting in Vain"? Yeah, well, that's Firefox.
I agree. Before we start another trendy "reinventing the browser" drive, whether Flock or something else, we should at least make one that's rock-solid and fast. Firefox is great in many ways, because it's more secure than IE, but it's slower and crashes more than IE. When I develop, I almost always use IE because I know there will be less downtime from crashes and cache-related bugs.
Thomas Malthus would approve. Overpopulation of Slashdot has led to a famine of good ideas. Time for a Hurricane Katrina to flood out the looters, drug addicts, fence-sitters and other human detritus.
People are always looking for an easy answer, namely by fleeing the obvious. The market is huge and the pressures on any app for security are intense, unless one holds 2% of the market as does Apple (or Ogg, or whatever). Make a (1) browser, and get good people to fix it up to the point where it's solid. Whether it's Firefox or not doesn't matter to those who actually use computers to do something.
Another take on this same idea:
And what I've noticed is that these people, who run small scams to try to rip me off for a few dollars here and there, are no different than the banks which charge fees for services they don't render, than credit card issuers who change interest rates to 30% on money loaned at 6%, than customer service representatives who assure you that their latest unreasonable demand for money is legal "because its in your contract", et cetera. The majority of the human race consists of pathetic, vice ridden scumbags who are trying to steal from their fellow humans every penny they can scratch up.
This kind of behavior disturbs me, because I was not raised around people like this and was always taught that such pathetic examples were a minority of the human population. Yet I find them everywhere, and realize that those ideologies which presume the ability of the majority of men to lead and direct the actions of their society are wrong. The vast majority of people need to be directed and controlled by that ethical minority which is capable of making the "big decisions" about the world. A true socialist ethic is a rare thing only a small portion of men are capable of, but only under that ethic and those men who possess it can humanity overcome its tendency towards a petty and narrow existence.

Why are people here so prone to blow Apple? Apple's as corporate as Microsoft, and less effective. Do you really believe their underdog rhetoric, considering they've been lying about process speed comparisons for years? Do you really want users spending $2000 for a decent system, when they could spent $500 for PC hardware that's faster? Apple is like AOL: they market to morons and turn the PC industry into egodrama. Don't let it fool you. Use Linux, FreeBSD, or Minix - these are operating systems for real men!
Heavy Metal and Environmentalism Cause Terrorism Will Make You Go Nuts and Destroy Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, CA (NNS) - In response to a veiled accusation by ABC news that heavy metal and environmentalism cause individuals to go nuts and join al-Qaeda, ANUS spokestroll Vijay Prozak revealed the terrifying, insidious linkage between heavy metal, environmentalism, and radical Muslim extremism.
"I bet none of you know what 'insidious' means," said Prozak. "This is why people blow up your twin towers: the decaying West has left behind a behemoth of greed that destroys all culture and nature it encounters." Prozak suggested that most kids begin listening to heavy metal "for a reason," and that that reason may involve their degree of dissatisfaction with society.
"Look at it from their perspective," said Prozak. "You grow up with parents who are 'too busy' to teach you anything, so you screw up everything, then get shipped off to college for hedonism before they put you in a job for the rest of your life. At jobs, the plot never changes, and soon existential pressure crushes you as you notice your life passing without having made any difference."
GNAA-ANUS collaborator g0sp-hell, lighting up a fattie while discharging a handgun at impoverished ghetto-dwellers attempting to steal his Toyota, agreed. "Your future sucks and you know it," he said. "What do jobs do for you? You work for someone else, doing menial shit, until you get sick of it and start your own company, at which point you have no life outside of it."
Prozak related a story from his own childhood. "I came home one day, and there was this weird dude in the house. I told my Mom it had to be a criminal. She said it was my Dad, that he was finally home from the office, and I was like, no way," said Prozak. "It was forgivable that I didn't recognize him. I had not seen him for 11 years because he was on business trips most of the time, got home after ten PM on weekdays and spent weekends in 'volunteer' and 'team-building' activities."
The ABC news article related that Adam Gadahn, who has shown his family and community that he really hates their values system by running off and joining al-Qaeda, was spotted on an al-Qaeda tape lambasting the USA. ABC then demonstrated that they are not tools of the government, nor impartial, nor inclined to moralize in order to dramatize the news, by repeatedly referring to the tape as "propaganda," a "diatribe," and a "communiqué." It then concluded: "Only a few years ago, Adam Gadahn was a southern California teenager with interests in the environment and heavy metal music."
Calling the language a "veiled attempt to associate heavy metal, environmentalism and terrorism," Prozak made explicit his own beliefs. "You listen to heavy metal because our society is one giant passive-aggressive Judeo-Christian beast that pretends to be the victim while slowly sucking the blood out of everything," he said. "We bring you our 'better' society based on economics, our popularity contests of elections, our crap TV and movies, and then call you a terrorist if you resist."
"Even further," said g0sp-hell, "People who resist within America are branded lunatics, haters, or terrorists, often for the simple crime of torching a few SUVs or a gluttonous housing project in order to preserve some forest." He took a long, deep drag and concluded: "We've lost our way, America and the West, and we're doing to destroy anyone who disagrees for making us look bad, at least until China wises up to how weak we are and crushes us."

Make sure you computer understands Spanish. They've landed around here and I believe they're taking over.
It is unwise to speak so negatively of our new masters.

Don't tell me we've all forgotten AppleTalk so quickly?
The future of music, at least, is in niche marketing and consumer trust. If you make a good product, and charge a fair price for it, those who do buy CDs will buy it. Those who don't wouldn't anyway. At least, that's the experience of one heavy metal band that gave away enough music to get itself signed on a label and its career resurrected.
...in Olinto de Pretto's handwriting. Or maybe David Hilbert's. Either way, the "original" probably is second-generation from something else.
Isn't this like the fiftieth time this "novel experiment" has been tried?
