Firefox 3.5 WTF
Wow… just wow:
Again I was rewarded with a long pause, disk crunching and a blank screen, until 30-35 seconds had passed and Firefox 3.5 was awake and ready for duty … what’s the cause of this slowness? It’s NSS. What? The Network Security System. It turns out that NSS needs to do all [...]

NZ’s answer to William Shatner
Well, the part of William Shatner that makes ground breaking, genre-defining albums.
