The box I play around on is an old i586, so most modern distros won't even get past boot. And if they do, they end up using most if not all of my memory, drive space, and usually a sizeable chunk of the swap as well. And what does DSL go and do? Uses about 30MB of memory, ~1GB of space on a full install, and boots up nice and fast.
And it also lets me practice my machine gun skills in Quake II while I'm waiting for the rest of my party to show up from goodness-knows-where.
I decided to give Mono a go (no pun meant) one day and tried running a small daytime server I'd writtin in C# with it, and all Mono would do is spit out an error about TcpListener not having any Start() method. Thanks, but I think I'll stick with.Net and plain vanilla C++ for now.
tell the execs to shove off and get a number of artists under them, I bet it would put quite a porcupine in the RIAA's pouch. And I'd be loving every minute of it.
I for one am happy with what Firefox has already. If it starts getting very popular then we're going to start seeing more and more script kiddies running around with their ripped Perl scripts and 'toolz' doing who-knows-what. I mean you know how popular IE is, and how many exploits and such there are for it.

That's what repair shops and 1-800 numbers are for.

Do you honestly want that to happen to Firefox?
