Good, but now we add even more twisted humor to that and get the Electric Company to put the words together as silhouettes...Flesh...............................Light.....Fleshlight....

I have to admit, IE is quicker and less "frame jumpy" although I prefer to make that sacrifice to utilize extensions and better security

"What was meant: You get to see more of our ads more often."Not really, I think it's mostly due to the fact that the guy can't write interviews for sh**. cf. part 6 where he pastes in a conversation he had with the PR guy about borrowing his laptop. What an idiot.The gist of the interview and several of Mitchell's comments were actually interesting though.

Yes, the rise of Firefox has been amazing.Of course I was using it back in the early years as it was making the switch from being called Firebird to Firefox. Ahhh, those were the days.

I've noticed that patent troll companies sometimes go after other technologies that implement features that Firefox already has, but for some reason they don't go after Firefox. Could it be that they just think the Mozilla foundation doesn't make any money? Now that she's bragged about how "she" took the foundation to the point of raking in 55 mill a year, I guess that might change. It will be interesting to see whether we start getting mandatory feature-subtracting updates from time to time, starting real soon now.

Well, in all fairness, it isn't nearly as profitable as the commercial model. Of course it's still very profitable, just not nearly so.

@roxya"I think you're reading the task manager wrong. You mean 110,000k instead of 110k. "Playing Morrowind on my PC is normally about 105-120K of RAM" hahahaha.... if only it was possible!"Er, what? No, I meant 110K. The 'K' added means it's 110,000. Writing it as 110,000K would be equivalent to 110M (or 110,000,000) of RAM.@Blackadder"Calm down, I think it was just a light-hearted joke. "K" is not vaguely interchangeable with MB ;)"Oh Jesus, was that what that post was about? Because he thought I was using 'K' as a shortened 'KB'? Actually, I was using 'K' to denote thousands, not to say kilobytes.Jesus, I just realized I didn't even noticed how he used "KB" instead of "K" when quoting me. Well, now I'm blushing.
