My workstation has no issues (except me being stupid and naive enough
to sometimes boot lunix instead of Plan 9), firesucks(sic) does have
many issues, though; like leaking memory faster than while(1) {
malloc(1024*1024); }

Unsurprisingly it seems that this days the core Firefox developers
work for Google; I wonder if next they will hire Miguel De Icaza,
he fits perfectly the company profile.

My apologies for trying to keep an eye in how the world outside Plan 9
looks like. I will remember to avoid making such mistakes in the
future, it surely will be good to improve my badly hurt sanity.
