Personally, I've never understood any of this.

Not once in my 15+ years of using web browsers have I thought to myself "Man, this *browser* sure is slow." I've definitely said things like "Geez, this server sure is slow," and I've said "Golly, this flash movie is boggin' down my computer." Is the speed of the browser really making that big of a difference in actual use? I'm seeing some benchmarks in the post previews for this article, and they don't look like applicable numbers.

Simply put, answer me this question. On identical computers, on identical connections, exactly how much quicker or slower than Firefox would Opera be in returning a Google image search for "Cosplay Cammy Big Butt"?

Remember, it takes three events for a cell to become cancerous. 1. It must mutate to be able to express appreciable amounts of telomerase. 2. It must mutate in such a way that it circumvents its apoptosis (self-destruction) checkpoints. 3. It must mutate in such a way to allow constitutive, amplified replication. True, there are probably a gazillion different combinations of different mutations that can cause allow all of these things to happen, but I'm pretty sure it can't be caused by ONE mutation. But it's just my first post, so don't take my word for it.
