I remember when...

[VirtualLarry]

I was once living with a friend, and we had DSL, and a router. My computer was running Mozilla (now called SeaMonkey), and Kerio firewall.

Some other friends of his came over, saw how I was using my computer, with Mozilla and a firewall, and said, "Man, are you paranoid!".

Well, only the paranoid survive (Andy Grove), and my main computer has yet to have ever had a serious virus infection.

I remember Netscape 2.0. 3.04, 4.x 7.x and Mozilla and Seamonkey and then Firefox.

Been there--done that. What's next?

Arrogance doesn't tend to work out very well in the IT world...

Firefox + no script for my normal browsing
Two factor authentication on my gmail account
Chrome app windows for the sites I have to login into. While there's still some risk those sites could be hacked, I at least keep my 'important' stuff separate from my normal browsing. (if I was really paranoid, I'd use a linux virtual machine)

I remember when we had punch cards and there was no such thing as viruses.

the number of BBQ sauces you got at McDonald's did not depend on the size of your nugget order, further-more you did not have to pay $.10 per extra BBQ sauce.

Yeah but you couldn't walk around the computer room with your golf shoes on.
