I've had occasional Safari crashes with 4, but, so far, less frequently than crashes with its predecessor this spring. Feels Flash-related to me. I also haven't turned java back on though I installed the java 5 patch.

I hope I don't prove a point to my detriment, but I write this from my MacBook Pro 15 called "Parsifal." I've been progressing through the alphabet.
Um, when I hit "e" I did use Elrond. Sorry. I was younger. It ran FreeBSD 5.x, does that mitigate the twerpiness a little?
At one job, when I brought some Linux file servers on line to relieve the burden on an ancient small business server, I named them after co-workers' children.
Recently, I've been naming servers after bad former US Presidents. So I have a Polk and a Fillmore. Another name for the series freed up earlier this year and awaits assignment.
I agree about the complainers could have just not watched. Now it's my suspicion that bleeping his language, as is done in US version of Hell's Kitchen, has its merits. Besides taking arrows out of the naysayers' quivers, it also means the viewer is engaged trying to figure out what particular salty term Mr. Ramsay just used.
Back in the good old days of college radio, December 1974, a story ran on the wire about the CIA having layoffs. I assisted the news director of the college station as he telephoned the CIA to ask the question "where do canned spooks go?" The CIA picked up the call, but didn't want to say any thing and really did not want their "no comment" to be recorded. Yeah, go figure. He aired the part prior to their request to stop the recording, and, respecting the the press officer's wishes, obscured the use of the CIA person's name by editing in wacky sound effects.
See guys, you can have fun with this stuff.
