@wastelands: Have to say, I don't use a firewall either. Like equazcion said, the key is to not install malware.

I'd rather take advice from Ted Allen of Queer Eye. His comments actually make sense.

Nearly all quality writing and reporting can be done in rules of threes:

Here's another free utility that would be well paired with FreeCopy:

Try an anti-racist joke or a good putdown. Humiliating such morons can be effective. Here's a joke I heard recently though it requires being informed, which bigots usually aren't:

I didn't know it by name when I contributed, but the Model M was the one I was talking about: Big ctrl/alt/space keys, strong keysprings for a sloppy typist like me, and solidly made. I hate the Lose95 keys - if I want Windows functions, I'll hit ctrl-esc, not have some stupid key that interrupts my applications when…

Where I want it and where it is are not the same thing. I only keep it on the bottom because of the poor design of Window's interface.

There was a similar utility made for Lose98 (its name I cannot recall) that would rename the various desktop icons. Unfortunately, renaming them would cause the entire Windows installation to go tits up.

I don't have one favorite among recent brands, they're really all the same: lousy. Cheap or expensive, they don't last and are too twitchy.

For those who forget, a teenager did a study on restaurant ice and found it was all dirty, no better than toilet water:

@FinibusBonorum: It is interesting to observe the many Opera fans...yet, Opera's "marketshare" is miniscule.

@Hands: I'm curious. Why do so many people have a "backup browser?" Do you use it if your main browser is in the shop for repairs?

@adoucette: The problems you list in regard to your installation do not exist on my laptop. Neither Gmail nor LH and its sister sites are problematic for me. That suggests it's not Opera but your system setup, operating system or some other installed program affecting your system.

The ideal MP3 ID tag editor would be one that can do something similar to Regedit in Windows:

Make multiple meals at once: If you make enough for three or four meals, that costs less and you can eat it for lunch and dinner over two days (if you can stand the tedium).

@cainmark: Opera. Backup is FF.

@silentcon: Maybe the reason why firefox is favored by most users is because it has add-ons.(just imagine firefox without addons, maybe it is not the firefox browser you know today)

@adoucette: Opera WOULD be the best browser, by a long-shot, if it actually worked with all websites. Unfortunately, every time I try to switch to Opera, I come across a good number of sites that just won't work with Opera.

Finally LifeHacker shows all the numbers, not just for selected browsers its writers prefer. To no surprise, on overall average Opera ranks at the top.
