    • InternetExploder - Only as a last resort, e.g. if IE.Tab Extension doesn't work from Mozilla-based browsers.
      • Note: Internet Explorer was unsafe for 284 days in 2006; by contrast, Firefox experienced a total of nine days’ worth of insecurity. (reference)
  • Browsers on a stick:
    • Run Firefox from removable media
    • "Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition [for Windows; for Mac OS X] - your browser, your way... in your pocket™. Mozilla Firefox®, Portable Edition is the popular Mozilla Firefox web browser bundled with a PortableApps.com Launcher as a portable app, so you can take your bookmarks, extensions and saved passwords with you."

  • My Favorite Extensions
    • The Add-ons (a.k.a. extensions) alone make these browsers 1000 times better than IE. Also Mozilla Firefox based browsers are highly customizable, for example.


* Mozilla derivatives. Frequently encountered issues, Standard diagnostic

  • Apparently, Mozilla Labs has caught the fever, with "The Coop" (is that Co-Op, or a flock of fowls in a coop? =:^)
  • a Flock opinion of "The Coop"
  • My opinion: No way can "The Coop" be as innovative as flock. And even if it could be, they would be way behind on developing it.

Had a Linguistics class at Berkeley, with Ken Arnold, an author of rogue and curses...

A couple of days ago, after one of my kids asked for rogue, for his macbook, I told my kids that I had had a Linguistics class at Berkeley, with Ken Arnold, an author of rogue and curses. They have played rogue before, but at this recent mention of it, they all wanted to play rogue again, and again, and again. Now that we have replaced all but one of our PCs with Macs, we couldn’t find a mac binary, so they are playing a java version. For reference, we are using The Dungeons of Doom (e.g. Magical Items).
