    Excellent archiver. But recent versions been asking for reboot after install (for 2K and XP) and it wouldn't open archives from Explorer until reboot. That is so Windows 98.

    The first time I saw the update message on FF, I went into the preferences and just turn it off.

    First time I saw the update nag from Opera, I went into options to find they don't give you any choice. So much for alternative browser.

    Opera has automatic update check feature, but there's no option to disable or set the frequency. or does it even tell you that it's calling home.

    I was using Opera 8 that was offered for free one day, and today I get this pop-up out of nowhere to upgrade. The entire time it was calling home without telling me jack.

    Not my kind of browser.

    Think Comcast's "$10 million in advertising space" is actually worth anything? Think again. They're just going to use unsold time that would've made nothing in the first place or replace their own ads they show to customers that already have their service that has little value.

    How much are they really contributing? Think stingy. Real stingy. $50K. Yep, they're contributing less than even one of their cable installers would make. In the other news, USPS is donating $500,000.
