At least we agree that without the ability to put criminals and terrorists to death, the state can never provide justice to its shareholders.

What if I was talking about the default behavior and even opened my post with that term? Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Uh, how's your "reading"? I said default behavior. I love open source as much as the next guy but this "if you don't like it, figure out the configuration option or hack it yourself" attitude reeks of elitism.

If the Japanese know what's good for them they will take to the streets to protest this heavy handed government intrusion into private industry. Charger standards will emerge for cars when the market is ready, just like with cell phones. Ask the Russians how they like their centrally planned economy and then ask yourself if you really want big gubbermint bureaucrats legislating charger standards for cars, or USB chargers for cell phones.

Thanks for the advice, Sam Walton.

You're just mad because we get to eat all the poop. Mmm, delicious poop.

cool story bro!

Which is better default behavior?

1. Open the browser as quickly as possible and let the user click the page they want from the history / most visited list (Safari, Chrome, Opera do this)

2. Open the browser and check all the plugins for updates, check to see if pages were open when the browser was last closed, stop loading, present a dialog asking the user if they want to load the browser (which is going to happen anyway regardless) or load the browser _and_ try to open N tabs simultaneously.

If you said 2 you are an imbecile.

Recently? Firefox ceded the "lightweight alternative" throne to Opera years ago and it seems like ever since Chrome dropped they've just been rearranging deck chairs instead of trying to get out of the hole they're in.

When did we decide it was a good idea for a browser to interrupt its own startup procedure to ask you about reopening tabs and updating extensions?

When I clicked the icon, I wanted to go to a web page! Do all that other crap after you service my initial intent.

I knew Firefox was on its way out when I got a nag screen on startup asking me to upgrade. When I declined, it didn't go away and launch the browser, no, it popped up a survey web page, inside a modal dialog which was way too small and could not be scrolled or resized.

WAY TO GO, FIREFOX
