I wouldn't call it our moneys worth considering all the money consumers spent protecting their OS from Microsofts poorly written software.

iTunes and Quicktime perform flawlessly with OS X, why would they even consider making a 100% bug free version for Windows?

I support sex offender laws as they do protect many people, but the way we go about labeling people sex offenders today is very wrong. If you're drunk and piss in public or your girlfriend shows her tits, prepare to join the list.
When I was 17, I was dating a girl named Erin. We went to high school together, she was a freshman and I was a senior. A very common occurrence in high schools. Anyways, I turned 18 and things were great, then two weeks after 18 we slept together. The school caught wind of our relationship and reported it to CSD, which then sent it to the state. Her parents didn't press charges, the state did (although they stated when we broke up that they never would press charges, they decided to pull a John Kerry and flip-flop for no real reason.) I was five weeks (she was three weeks away from turning 15) over the three-year minimum age gap (which I had no clue about but maybe that was my fault.) I was originally charged with Rape 1, which according to Oregon Measure 11 is 5+ years in jail.
Thankfully I had saved my money for college so I could afford a lawyer to bump me down to Sex Abuse 3 (misdemeanor) it meant 3 years of probation, and 10 years registration. The DA denied our request for him to go to the high schools and discuss these laws so they would know the consequences of having a completely normal high school relationship. It's ludicrous that we hand out condoms to these students but little do they know if they use them it'll ruin their life. Now, after 4 grand on lawyers, 2 grand in fines, and two years of court dates (got to love our judicial system!)
I'm back on my way to college. But for the next 12 and half years, my life is pretty much public knowledge. I've been fully evaluated and don't need treatment (despite the courts saying I did need it) and deemed not a risk and not likely to ever re-offend. I'm pretty much about ready to give up on this cause it seems all people want to do is destroy the lives of people who are sex offenders when they fail to realize not everyone who is one did something wrong.

Firefox 1.1 will have binary patching (aka sweet, simple, small, efficient updates).
