As we've all said a million times ... FireFox is a great browser that can, in the future, give Internet Explorer some serious competition.

Unfortunately, now that it's "on the radar", we will see the hackers start to expose the flaws inherit in every piece of software.  We've already seen this happening in older versions of FF.

Still, this is good news for FireFox, and for OSS in general.

If I can thread poach a little... There is now a major project by FReepers and others regarding protein folding and distributed computing. The effort is dedicated to Ronald Reagan.

FReepers are ranked nationally (top 500 soon) in our efforts to help this massive science project. Please join us if you would like to contribute and "Fold one for the Gipper". Here is one of several threads that can help point you to start donating your unused CPUs if you are interested.
