In Rapidweather Remaster of Knoppix Linux, my livecd linux distro, I always set up Firefox _not_ to remember passwords.
I put Firefox 2.0.0.5 in the Remaster just last week.
Also, when the user closes Firefox, I have it set up so the entire ~/.mozilla is deleted. I presume that is where any password would reside. In the event of a Firefox crash, the ~/.mozilla is not deleted without an OK from the user. There is a dialog box that comes up and asks "Did you want to close Firefox?".
So, even though I do have Javascript enabled, I would assume from the discussion that the current, "in-use" password is safe. Usually, when I do online banking, I follow the recommendation to "close the browser", and with the above setup where ~/.mozilla is deleted, I should be safe.

This is an issue I have recent and intimate knowledge of.
XP will *NOT* install on a standard CF card. Even with a CF/IDE converter, Windows sees the CF card as a "Removable Device" and will not install to it. Windows also will only ever see one partition on a removable device. It's also broken when trying to format an existing partition during install, and it corrupts itself when trying to expand it's C: partition when installing from a sysprep'ed disk image. The only way I was able to get it installed was to create a sysprep image the exact size that the finished install will be and write it directly to the flash drive. It's kind of funny to double click on "My Computer" and see the C: drive show up as a removable device with a little removable type icon. This guys blog details the issues a bit more:

Maybe you should read about the actual OOXML specification before saying that kinda thing.

Read these. Then decide if you really, really believe that making this specification a standard will do anything good for the environment. The spec is simply too big and poorly-defined for anyone else to come close to implementing. If it was worth the paper it was printed on (and if you see the last link, that can be quite a lot) Microsoft wouldn't be trying to fast-track it--specifications should speak for themselves in terms of quality. Anything reasonable would have no trouble getting written into an ISO-accepted standard, no matter what company it came from.

Pop quiz: Why the hell is fast tracking with this kind of system possible? Emergency economic situations?

RIAA has a right to sue anyone they think has committed copyright infringement against one of their members.

Not quite. The RIAA has a right to sue anyone against whom they have evidence suggesting copyright infringement against one of their members. In the past, they've sued someone who didn't own a computer, continued suits knowing their target was not responsible, and deliberately target people who would be least able to defend themselves.

The RIAA doesn't have a track record of playing fair in their suits. They've sued people using very little evidence, and have persisted in their cases, often driving innocent people to settle to avoid legal fees.

I'm currently attending one of the schools on the list (not surprising, considering the rampant amount of file sharing that goes on there). I haven't shared music online since the ninth-circuit court of appeals handed down the Napster decision, but if I'm targeted with one of those letters, I suspect my parents will encourage me to pay up rather than face the stress and legal costs of fighting it.

If they send 20 letters to random college students, they'd probably get 15 settlements and 5 court cases - they would then drag out the 5 court cases as long as possible to drive up the legal costs for the defendants in hopes of reaching a settlement. Once it becomes clear they won't reach a settlement and have very little hope of winning their case, they'll ask to dismiss with prejudice so they can avoid paying the legal fees of the defendant. Of all of the 20 original letters, they probably got $45,000 from the 15 who settled right away, and another $30,000 or so from those who settled after going to court - a pretty good haul for random letters.

The reason I vilify the RIAA is not that they are enforcing their copyright, but because their approach does not necessarily target the guilty, and the innocent have almost as much incentive to settle as the guilty. They can rake in the cash by making it more costly to fight a bogus case than to settle, and it's very rare that they're made to pay legal fees. Now, if they were collecting as much evidence as possible and verifying it before pursuing settlements, you wouldn't hear me complain, but their tactics have been much less admirable.

True, true!

Hermione: We knew we needed something to destroy the Horcruxes, and then Ron remembered there's a dead basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, so we went to get some of its teeth. Harry: Neither of you speak parseltongue. Ron: No, but I've heard you do it, so I imitated the sounds you made to the sink in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. Harry: And it worked? That makes no sense. And how did you get out? Last time we had to use Fawkes to carry us. And wasn't the tunnel caved-in? Ron: Look, mate, there are only about 125 pages left. Do you really want to spend twenty of them helping us get into the Chamber and extract teeth? Just let it go and pretend it makes sense.

Right now I am running Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.5 on a Dual Pentium Pro machine, 200 MHZ, with about 800 total bogomips, 256 MB of RAM, the older kind, 72 pin.
Using my Knoppix remaster, link here.
Firefox performs very well, not slow at all. I'm using the 2.4 kernel, not the 2.6 one, so I gain a lot of speed that way.
Also, I can run the entire OS from a USB flash memory drive, here's the link on the setup. The usb drive will have 4 partitions, including a swap partition.
Firefox is a bit slower when running the OS from the SanDisk usb drive compared to a 7200 RPM hard drive.
It is cool to run the OS that way, nothing is "saved" on the hard drive, when done, just unplug the usb drive and put it in your pocket.
I find that most Pentium II's, AMD K6-2's will run my knoppix remaster if there is 128 MB of RAM or better.
These are "older" computers, some have the Windows 95 sticker on them, most were shipped with Win 98. These machines are dirt cheap. Lots of them have 4 to 6 GB hard drives.
Although my remaster is a livecd linux, with the USB drive, one can "install" linux without using a CDROM drive, even if you have to temporarily install a Belkin USB 2.0 5-Port PCI Card to gain access to the hard drive, link here on that.
A lot of these older computers are going to have slow or broken CDROM drives, so you do without.
Once you manage to get booted up using the USB drive, you can partition the hard drive with QTParted, copy the files there, and then use the loadlin/MSDOS menu to boot from the hard drive for normal use. You want to preserve the Windows installation so you'll have DOS.

Microsoft is an extremely wealthy company that should and probably does have many bright minds.

Oh, they do. Their incompetence is organizational. I've met several MS software developers who did know what they're doing, but they tend to be stymied by an excess of bureaucracy.

My apologies for posting in extrans mode by mistake. Here, let me repost that link in HTML-formatted mode.

Can I drink my vaccine?

I have the full timeline right here.

You may think of it as product placement, but I use it. I even provide the occasional blog entry on it on Advanced Topics. I sat through a RedHat performance tuning class that was quite excellent. But when they came to the part about ext3 and tuning it, well, let's face it - ext3 just isn't going to scale. I started with Veritas' Filesystem which is pretty nice. If you're a small-time admin, then you never get beyond a local, 4U disk array. Once your group spends more than US$2million on servers though, it's obvious what the problem is: Storage - The Final Frontier. SAN and clustered filesystems allow a level of scalability completely unheard of before.

They also completely left out anything but a tagline of their multi-tiered solution. I wish they'd talked more about how CERN supports 500Gbit per second aggregate throughput to their disks (at least they implied that). 50GB/sec (or so) is probably the toughest I/O problem you've ever dealt with, or will deal with for a long time. Whose RAID controllers did they use? Did they focus on speed (ASIC and ISL minimization), availability (redundant fabrics), or both? Did each node get dual 4Gb links or just one?

If this had been an advertisement, they would have discussed some 3.0 features like LAN clients.

So, in short, it's easy to say it sounds like an advertisement. Quite possibly, Quantum (formerly ADIC) coerced them into getting the piece written. But if this had been an advertisement, there is so much more that is going on under the hood that would have been said. Large, fast, distributed filesystems are non-trivial and take an extreme amount of engineering and testing. StorNext really is good at what they claim to do.

If you want to read about some of the drawbacks though, I yak about them on my blog. Sorry for the plug.

Thanks, here is some push in Congress http://www.ucsusa.org/news/press_release/new-repor t-shows-economic-0046.htmlto get a national renewable energy standard which might lead to a national net metering law but so far these have been going state-by-state.

This will depend on state law. Some laws appear to assure you access to the Sun, others require you to write up an agreement with your neighbor which then has the force of an easement. Some states have no laws. You can check your state in this table: http://www.dsireusa.org/summarytables/reg1.cfm?&Cu rrentPageID=7&EE=1&RE=1. Look in the column labled "Access Laws."

I am already planning an experiment to refute this really bad report. Please visit my blog and catch up on it as I begin the experiment next Monday.

I understand now. I was considering placing the panels out of the way on the roof. This is convenient in the 41 states with net metering laws http://mdsolar.blogspot.com/2007/03/net-metering.h tml. I agree with you that purchasing solar is a little better than break even right now and you can probably find investments that return more. The way we do business is to rent the equipment for the power it produces at the rate you are paying now. You can fix the rate for up to 25 years, the amount of time a system would produce at above 80% rated power with maintenance included so that if the inverters break down (typical life: 15 years) they get replaced without charge.

All-electric cars are quite a bit cheaper to run counting fuel costs. With some reasonable assumptions about the cost of replacing batteries, they still seem to come out cheaper. But, they are still very expensive to purchase with very few on the road with a useful range. I expect the plug-in hybrid is going to get a large market share first with perhaps a 40 mile range between charges for all-electric operation. This is useful for some commutes, but it is not the 300 mile range rapid charge technology that could replace the ICE.

Amps are inversely proportional to volts once you fix the wattage, so your original spec on watts is the one to go with. Are you doing some day-night averaging? For the moment, I'm thinking of charging at night (under net metering) and I'd expect most of the time the system would be covered under a homeowner's policy. We are getting varied responses for our rental systems, but for a system that you own, policies ought to come at no extra cost. This is what we see when insurers do say they'll cover our systems.

What's more, much of the energy we consume is wasted because we use heat engines to convert it to more useful forms. So, using photovoltaics, we skip that step http://mdsolar.blogspot.com/2007/04/green-numbers. html so things actually look even better than your calculation suggests.

Most single storey houses have enough roof space to allow current silicon panels to both power the house (under net metering) and charge a plug-in hybrid. It does not take acres. If you have a taller house, you might need some yard space since you've got more floor per unit roof to power. Polymer panels may hit 10% efficiency befor to long. The current record is 6.5%http://www.technologyreview.com/Energy/19044/, so there is not all that far to go to catch up with 16-20% efficient silicon.

I've wound up breaking some rules, one of them is including a bunch of mouse cursor themes, that install in seconds.
Details are available in the Getting Started Guide for Rapidweather Remaster of Knoppix Linux.

And, yes, I have Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.5 already. Another rule broken, put a slightly out-of-date Firefox in there.

Also my remastering scripts really work, only one question is asked, what partition do you want to put your "Master Copy" in, so you can go to work on it, and when you're ready to make that new .iso, same question, what partition is your "Master Copy" in. (You might have several) Answer that, and soon, your .iso is ready for burning to a CD. Comes with complete instructions, too. Processing time on a P4 with 1 GB RAM is about 20-25 minutes, over an hour on a Pentium II. I've run it hundreds of times on a dual Pentium Pro. Never fails.
Perhaps I have broken a rule there, by allowing users to fork off their own distro, that would have some of the things they want in it.

Another rule broken is that I provide emelFM as a file manager, far superior in ease of use to Konqueror, but I have KDE and Konqueror too, it does have it's uses.

The rule that linux distros have so-so fonts is broken:

The web pages displayed in Mozilla Firefox running on the Remaster look better than they do when running Firefox on Windows Vista. I have the fonts, and that does the trick. OEM Knoppix scales down the included font packages, resulting in rough-looking web pages, not professional enough for me. My ~/.fonts.cache-1 is only 32 bytes because it simlinks to the real one of 304.70 KB in the CD, so my available /ramdisk does not take a hit because I have a lot of fonts installed. My default /ramdisk is only 564 (out of 199072 on this box), and stays that way if I use a "persistent home" partition. That's below 1% of /ramdisk.

I have fun stuff, too. My "Wallpaper Control Center" completely manages downloaded and built-in wallpaper images, has a large GUI, and over 35 different scripts to do the work. Nobody else has it, they have to manage their wallpaper collections the hard way. This is so fast, easy, foolproof, it's fun! Another rule broken, "nothing new".

And, a "more secure way of running linux", Check my Blog for how to run the Remaster directly from a Sandisk USB drive on an older computer. Free download of files needed to get started. Look them over to see what this is all about.

Plan 9 From Bell Labs doesn't natively offer specific clustering tools. Eric's been doing some work for IBM's Blue Gene project : http://graverobbers.blogspot.com/

But Plan 9 doesn't offer a network wide hypervisor system as yet.

Yeah, you may be right, but there's really no reason to be bitter, this stuff happens all of the time in the software industry.

Here's a pretty extensive blog posts with some thoughts on the subject. http://gatesvp.blogspot.com/2007/07/where-do-thing s-go-wrong-in-software.html

Basic premise is that the bitterness is probably misplaced. Truth is, the guys giving "bad requirements" don't really know any better, I mean, they don't know how to program. If they knew how to program, they wouldn't need us. So that's what analysts do, they convert CEO-speak to good requirements. On smaller projects, analysts ARE programmers, but these are still two different hats.

Now the number one function of an analyst's job is to generate "good requirements" that will fit the needs of the business and that will enable the programming department to complete the job. This means separating what the client "actually wants" from what they "think they want". This means understanding "corner cases" and how data flows through and between systems. This usually means lots of drawing and meetings and pictures, etc. The sponsor usually can't do this stuff, they don't know how, they don't program, they don't think this way, that's what the analyst is there for.

Now, if you're the analyst and the "project sponsor" (eg.: manager, CEO) doesn't give this information to the analyst, then the project doesn't happen. It's actually the analyst's job to stop the project, talk to the sponsor and get things rolling again or drop the project.

You may be bitter at the CEO in the executive suite, but these problems are not their fault. These problems are solely the failure of the Analyst and/or the Project Lead. The lead on the project is responsible for protecting both the project and the team. Failure to gather appropriate requirements and to garner appropriate sponsor buy-in are both failure in protecting the team and the project. These people are therefore the target of your bitterness and ire. The person in IT who accepted the impossible task is truly to blame.

relatively few offer themselves as legitimate "alternatives to Windows" ... Ubuntu may put an end to this discussion

I agree.

many are little more than venues to demonstrate some piece of software, or built to satisfy some narrow need ... Ubuntu [has] done a much better job of attracting and integrating projects, unlike Debian's explicit efforts to distance itself from KNOPPIX etc. But don't mistake this for a prediction that they'll somehow put an end to hobbyist distros ("I want to do this because I can")

I celebrate the hobbyist distro and claim that it is a good thing, especially those that target a narrow need and that can be booted off of the CD-ROM or DVD.

Well, considering that we taxpayers pay the FBI via our income taxes to do something about threats of all kinds, then I suppose they can do what they want to get these threats stopped before something bad happens.
Apparently, they are talking about the Windows OS, namely XP, Vista and other Windows OS's.
Those can be infected, and as some have said, infected by the bad guys as well as the FBI.

How about livecd linux, such as Knoppix?

I have a remaster of Knoppix 3.4, in fact it is highly modified, one area is security.
Without trying to go through all of the details in this post, those interested can look over my
Getting Started Guide, that's placed in the CD, and on the internet. I fixed my remaster for that level of security primarily for those using the internet to do online banking, web purchases, bill payment, and investment website work such as with Merrill Lynch, etc.
If that is not enough, check my Blog for information on running the Remaster from a 2 or 4 GB SanDisk Ready Boost cruzer USB drive. When you can put all of it in your pocket as you walk away from your computer, that's secure!

In the end this really does scare me. My husband has a terrible habit of surfing for porn (yeah guys chuckle all you want, doesn't bother me too much). He does use Firefox, and I've got Adblock installed, but still I'm positive something is wrong in there. All the antivirus checks are negative, no rootkits found using the f-secure BlackLight, and the sysinternals rootkit detector. But just have a sinking horrible feeling something isn't "right". Check out my blog http://toriauru.blogspot.com/ to see what I've noticed in the last few days. Really scary stuff. Let's get all the eggheads that love writing software to start working for security companies :P

I found that switching to my own cable modem was not too much of a problem and the router works with that. After this is set up, any operating system will do. But, comcast is always the last bill I pay because I have to boot into windows to do it. You all charge a late fee so I don't feel bad about being late, but it is a pain that I can't do that bill together with the others and have to interupt sessions to finally get it paid.
