Fox and hound

Even though this may incite a minor cyber-riot amongst the Internet Explorer Nazis and the Mozilla & Company Nazis I think it interesting to see that Microsoft's neglect of customers this summer has impacted in a proper way. Take a look at Firefox in the IE Henhouse. If it makes you feel better to rant and rave in comments then go ahead. Damn it, Microsoft should have corrected their browser problems. I'll be the first to admit that using a product (Mozilla, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.) that "belongs" to AOL makes me feel dirty. Right now it is the lesser of two evils. Nice to browse the web and know that no popups will attack. Even though Mozilla is a dot org and touted as opensource it bothers me a lot to know that AOL is involved. These jerks will find some way to screw up a good thing. Just look at their internet service provider. Ever try to get out of that mess and go to the real internet? It's like fighting a coon dog that's running from a possum!

How about putting a $100,000 bounty on spammers? Hattiesburg American has the story. Can we include the spyware buttheads in this group? That way we can take care of both problems. Why are these problems ignored? Spyware people are the absolute dregs of the earth and there may be a new level in hell for these creeps. Wonder how many billions they've cost the industry?
