A U.S. Army supercomputing center with a legacy that dates back to the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) launched in 1946 is moving to Linux-based clusters that will more than double its computing capability.

Windows XP Service Pack 2. Because we couldn't be arsed the first time.

Windows 98 Second Edition. Look, now you don't need that bloody CD to install new hardware.

Windows Vista. Even your computer knows you have a small penis.

Windows Blackcomb. We are planning the OS after Vista, which is allready a year late.

Windows ME, the Marmite Operating System.

XP Mobile. Take your errors with you.

Crap ... it must be firefox ... I mean ever since I switched to 1.5 I've had problems (well ... more problems than with 1.0). Lots of strange shit happening (pages fail to load, strange re-directs), and crashes too. :( Could it be firefox ?

Those are called "ads" and they make the web go 'round.
Seriously, though, were I to guess, you're probably hitting up against a bad batch of ads that have been coded to redirect the viewer to the originating site.
If I were you, I'd bring that to the attention of TopTechNews, as I doubt their advertising programme allows such misbehaviour.

Reinstall... if it keeps happening... I've also noticed that some extensions fuck with the ad blocking features in Firefox and other strange things like causing a click where you hadn't clicked.

Yeah ... there's a very good chance extention conflict is the cause of these problems. It doesn't happen that often, so it should be ok for now.
