I have never witnessed Firefox being anything but snappy and responsive on any OS with a reasonably-powered machine

Define reasonably-powered machine. I have C2D 2.1GHz / 2,5GiB RAM / Running Snow Leopard and Firefox is anything but snappy and responsive. And I'm not even talking about 50+ tabs open with 50% of them running Flash. I'm talking about 2 windows with about 10 tabs each with mostly static pages (that is, no AJAX or something).

Firefox still exists in my computer because of my banking needs. Otherwise Chrome does the job perfectly and, guess what, snappy and responsive - can't wait to try this Opera beta though.

No.

Everything changes when you get online. You might be good in bed sorcing 5 chicks a week but online you're just regular porn.

Please, oh please, do NOT suggest IMS . I have to work with this piece of software everyday and, I'm not kidding, I want to stab myself in the eyes everytime I have to work with it. Maybe it's because I have to work with together with COBOL but it sure does not make my life easier.

Of course, this is very biased and personal. In a few years I might end up loving IMS but until then I want it do die a painful slow death.

Finally, someone that beats Opera on the "oh, but opera had it first" ;)

Wow, I envy your contract. And yes, I still agree with you and go beyond to say that you were right in what you did now that you mentioned 'long conversations' I believe you tried to take the high road. I apologize if I had misunderstood you or in any way implied that you would behave this way all the time.

Though I still think that quitting/getting fired still come to the same conclusion: you have to look for another job. Sure it looks better for your new employer but in the end you still have to look for it.

Well, to put it simply you are not very smart. Obviously in your contract it states that every code (or anything for that matter) that you created in the company was IP for the company but nothing prevented you from taking the idea to a next level say have the process well defined and work with the community to develop it. Maybe discuss more the benefits, that you were already doing the same with other tools and that maybe, just maybe, that could make the company have a better image in front of the community

I belive we must stand for what we believe when what's being asked from us goes against it or to harm it but as far as I can tell you just acted like a snotty kid who had his precious toy taken away. Congratulations on losing a job based on that.

All of the series is very good. I still need to buy me a copy of IV but I've played since all the madness that was II up to III Third Stike and then the Zero series - which btw is very interesting from a story perspective until Zero 3 - and I still find that the Zero series is better. Though the SFIIHDREMIXOMGBBQ is VERY nice :)

I'd love to see Capcom vs SNK2 into PSN/Live for that matter. An agreement with SNK and them bring SNK vs Capcom Chaos too. Aw fuck it, bring me Guilty Gear XX (the last one whatever name it is now...)

... but I only had RFC 1149 implemented at the time :(

Or, as I like to say, my current job supporting 5 stupid access database shit. It could be worse sure. My colleague supports over 40...
