Hey andras, can you tweak the ads on the arcade a bit? Just the google one in the middle of the screen... make it open a new window instead of taking you to the site..... real pain in the ass when you're halfway through the game and accidently click it, thereby negating all of your playing.

Like you, I have my own domain name and hosting, but for e-mailing I still prefer gmail. I just love the simple clean design, fast search, message threading, e-mail forwarding, absence of image ads, blackberry compatibility and so on. Who cares if google is a billion dollar empire? They create added value, revolutionize e-mail and introduce other web innovations. There are far worse billion dollar empires out there dealing with drugs, weapons, trafficking, politics... or does google invest in any of these too?

Yea, I noticed they progressed more towards your idea in mozilla.com. I downloaded it, and it has it's perks, but I like IE much better.
andkon on Jul 22 @ 05:18 wrote
Yeah. If you notice the evolution of mozilla.org/mozilla.com (check archive.org), you'll see that their designs have actually been slowly progressing towards my recommendations. Maybe two years in the future they'll have it like I had in two years in the past.
I also warned against the current stagnation in posts on Mozillazine, and of course was laughed at. I predicted that the rate of downloads would eventually stabilize so that Firefox's market share would really not grow. And for the past year, it's been stagnating around 10% without much movement. With IE7 coming out soon, Firefox is going to have a hard time reaching out to anything more than rabid fans. That could have been avoided.
For example, I did mozfest.com (still up), which says to test designs to see which design (or change in text, color, not necessarily anything major even) would garner the most downloads. The groupthink and arrogance of the Mozilla Foundation prevented them from considering it. It's really sad because a split run test that I proposed would have been REALLY simple to set up.
Considering that in the advertising world there's some banner ads that get 20X better click through rates than the average banner, it's really frustrating how supposedly brilliant people couldn't see how a simple test could have easily doubled or tripled (or whatevered) their popularity.
Firefox and Mozilla is going to be around for quite some time, but they're never going to beat or even come close to Microsoft's numbers in the browser arena. They kicked themselves in the balls too many times for that.

Although I might set up an Andkon Collective or whatever site, so the current frontpage with the links to arcade, blog, (and whatever new sites might come in the future, like the now dead 24/7 Caption Contest) might remain.

People can use these facts to make an honest interpretation or forego that part and just use old biases.
It's unfortunate so many in America just want someone to reinforce their preconceived conclusions: a first-world country with a miseducated third-world population.

This gentle bear was found at Paddington in London. In the first story, he is found there by the Brown family sitting on a suitcase with a note attached to his coat which reads "Please look after this bear. Thank you." He has arrived as a stowaway coming from "Darkest Peru", sent by his Aunt Lucy. He tells them that no one can understand his Peruvian name, so the Browns decide to call him Paddington.
They take him home to 32 Windsor Gardens near Portobello Road, and the stories follow Paddington's adventures and mishaps in England.

The Israeli ally stuff is total nonsense: they don't send troops to anywhere and the intelligence they share is godawful, the whole WMD and dubious al-Qaeda links in Iraq. The only reason the US is allied with Israel is because they buy our weapons, which in turn produces more terrorists for them. It's that simple.
And get your facts straight, or preferably not from CNN/Fox News/Bullshit:
Iraq has never threathened to attack the United States: Saddam was our dear ally until 1991, including when the US government turned a blind eye to his genocide. Even after a brutal sanctions regime that has killed hundreds of thousands through starvation after the Gulf War according to the UN, Iraq has not threathened America. That's the real surprise.
Syria has never threathened to attack the United States, although we did overthrow their democratically elected government in 1949, which is the reason why they have a hostile government today.
Iran has never threathened to attack the United States, even though we overthrew their democratic government and installed a dictator which then led to Islamic Revolution. The President of Iran has said he wants to wipe Israel off the map, but that's not America and that's an altogether different story. Stop conflating and confusing things.

Israel is a good ally becuase they have always been on our side and they share nuclear and other bomb intelligence with us.

Nate, can you stop foaming at the mouth like some rabid dog? Thanks. Just because facts shatter the fantasy reality as presented by the "liberal" media (owned by some of biggest weapons manufacturers in the world) does not mean you have to be completely irrational. You're merely asserting things like a bigot repeating lies that were told to him. You're no different than the overpaid talking heads on TV spouting their bullshit without any evidence.
Why are terrorists any different than other criminals? Why should an ineffective strategy be pursued against terrorists that ends up creating more terrorists? Why is the 200,000 too high? If bombing terrorists works, why are over 2500 soldiers dead and over ten thousand injured? Why should we stay in Iraq despite the fact that Iraqis don't want us there?
If there was a serial killer loose in NYC, you would not bomb the state he came from. You would not bomb the neighborhood he hides in. You would not indiscrimantely kill those around him. So why do that to terrorists know that it will create MORE TERRORISTS?
These are of course questions you won't answer and just continue on with spouting your pre-canned responses that you've lapped up like a good doggie from your mindless CNN, Fox News, and all that bullshit. Tens of thousands of civilians and thousands of soldiers will die, but surely you'll still be waving your flag and screaming "BOMB BOMB BOMB IT WORKS!!!"
And what does the Holocaust have anything to do with Iraq, me or even Arabs? Have you blown a fuse in your brain or something? And instead of smearing me as anti-Semitic, could you tell us how Israel is a good ally? You've avoided that question for a while now.

Terrorists are worse than serial killers and you have to do more to stop them, such as bombing until they die, you can't just send in minimal forces and let them get wiped out by the terrorists. Also as I have said before civilian deaths happen in every war and there isn't even close to 200,000 yet in this war. That number is way to high with no realistic evidence. Whatever Bush does you'll say he should have done the opposite no matter what, thats so true about liberals, they can't accept the truth! Also if civilian casualties is such a huge thing to you, you Anti-Semitism freak, you would care more about the millions of Jews who were murdered in World War II. So stop bashing the people who are just trying to survive all the hatred of them around the world, especially now by Arabs.

So, if a serial killer happened to be in your neighborhood, it'd be okay for the police to indiscriminately launch missiles into your neighborhood? Would it be okay for them to drop 500lb bombs on houses?
There's a big difference between ACCIDENTAL and CARELESS. Accidentally running over someone with a car is not murder, but even that's usually called manslaughter. If you do it 200000 times, what would you call it? If there was a driver who ran over 200000 people would you tell everyone to "deal with it" since accidents happen all the time?
So why can't terrorists be hunted down with minimal amount of violence against civilians if equally dangerous serial killers are? Is it because then terrorism could not be used as a *pretense* to invade countries with favorable geographic positions and natural resources we want for ourselves?
The facts are simple: 1) War is an ineffective way to fight against terrorism. As your link shows, al-Qaeda is actually emboldened and in no way put back by death of its leader in Iraq. 2) Regular means of catching criminals are not used because such ways do not require massive invasions that could overtake an entire country and its resources.
