    Opera actually stopped charging for their browser not even that long ago, actually. I remember back when it cost like 50 bucks or something.
    My name was supposed to be French fries with mayo but I was drunk when I signed up.

    The real nail in Netscape's coffin was the release of a browser that everyone fucking despised...and then IE did the same thing a few years later.

    Firefox is a mozilla browser and concurrently, both firefox and the mozilla browser were in people's homes.

    Did you see that program on the men who built America and how JP Morgan got all of Tesla's patents simply by telling Westinghouse he had more money and he could put him out of business just in legal fees? All those fat cats then became philanthropists and couldn't give their money away fast enough.

    Bill Gates sounds like one of those guys that built America.
