Firefox 2 is here: Wednesday, October 25, 2006
Released yesterday, the best browser just got better with the release of Firefox 2 once again leaving the already buggy competition (IE7) in it's wake.
If you have not experienced Firefox before or are presently using an older version then get yourself the new kid on the block

It's a sad state of affairs when here, in the 21st century, a country has to slaughter dozens of an already endangered species for commercial gain.
After 21 years Iceland has broken an intenational ban on commercial whaling because 'it is vital to the economy'...which i find to be a pathetic excuse to slaughter whales, if the only way they can support their economy is to kill whales then maybe it's not an economy worth surviving.
There is not one by product from whaling i can think of at this moment that can't be replaced/substituted with something else that is far more sustainable as a source.
Iceland have said that they will kill nine fin whales and 30 minke whales each year and that these figures are sustainable....well, they must of had a serious population explosion because whales are very slow breeders....a female will mate seasonally and have 1 calf every 1-3 years, the gestation period of a whale is from 10 months upwards, considering these animals are endagered to start with i don't know how those figures can be sustainable.
Sometimes i wish i could just distance myself from this self distructive species called the human race because it's times like these where i am less than proud to be called one (and yes, i do feel very strongly about killing these wonderful, gentle and graceful creatures).

The next faze of the governments 'lets get those pesky motorists for every penny they have' is to commence with the roll-out of traffic cameras to catch motorists blocking box junctions or ignoring road signs, they already have these camera's in London and last year issued 1 million (yes, thats 1 million) fines in a city of just 7 million people...assuming that, and i don't know for sure, that the fines are of the same pay structure as other speed camera fines then the minimum you pay with early payment will be £30...hmmmm that means that London on it's own managed to raise about £210,000,000 last year in tax..er, sorry...fines.
It's outrageous that they are going after motorist's with such venom yet can't protect the general public from far more serious crimes like murder/mugging/armed theft etc with the release of these vermin onto our streets with tags or early release.
You know what would be awesome, if everyone gave up driving cars for a year as a protest......the revenue fall-off from camera fines and fuel tax/car tax would cripple the government and probably bankrupt it.....how about that for a protest. (yes i know it would never happen...they know it as well...have us over a barrel good and proper)
