Of course all software is unreliable.  Humans make it, and we are as far from reliability and perfection as you can get.
But it sounds so simple...if we just code it right the first time then it will not only be reliable but it will also be secure and bug free. What's so hard about it.   ^-^

We sure love Opera, but I personally can't like without my favorite Firefox Extensions. If Opera would introduce something like that.. I would surely skip into Opera.

Nothing is 100% reliable. But sometimes it comes close. Sh** just happens every once and a while. :D

People are reliable. You can rely on diggers to bring down websites, fanboys and haters to attach anything and... I'm out of ideas.

Another plus of Firefox is that its open source, which means people are free to modify it. Which produces optimized builds of Firefox. I've never seen an optimized version of Opera, or IE, for SSE2.

For all of you Opera Fans, you'll probably want to check out "Opera Community" that just launched today with a new look, new features and other cool stuff!  :)

Maybe that is because IE is already optimized?  ::)

Speaking of "optimized browser": I think Google dumped their customized IE7 because http://www.google.com/ie7/ returns a 404.

Speaking of Lemmings, I have found a nice free Lemmings clone:


It's available for both Windows and Linux.

Man, I got my hopes all up after seeing that screenshot because it looked awesome. I went and checked out the project page and noticed that they don't have a Windows version of 0.6 available. All of the screenshots do look really great though.
