And some people don't just care. Look at some of the "pranks"(aka "social experiments") on youtube these days. Makes you wonder what type of things are going through the minds of these so called pranksters.

Ranked 151-200 in the QS rankings for CS. I bet if they handed this problem over to the CS people in the university they would have willingly helped them out to fix it. Information security is even listed as one of their main research areas

I come from an Asian country, we are used to bribes, crooked politicians, government workers etc etc. To me the USA was the place where Neil Armstrong lived, it was the country that gave me so much that I was thankful for, it was a country

Jesus! you are right, I am honestly confused now. I always thought ff used more space than chrome. Even now looking at the two makes me feel as if ff is some how bulkier, I am looking at the same page, and ff look really huge EVEN IF ITS NO
