You know what really makes me angry.

Here’s the thing though, turning off Javascript disables all those cool little Greasemonkey scripts, and turning off “Let website install software” just makes it more difficult for people to get extensions for Firefox. It’s those extensions and add-ons…
Josh points out a Register article that takes a look at the EULA for Win2000 Service Pack 3. The wording is enough to give you pause, I would think. Jevon and Geek are both pointing to this story about Activebuddy’s patent win. I’m not a programmer, so I don’t know for sure, but I’m fairly…
