A Few Firefox 3 Followups
An anonymous reader writes "Using data generated by the Mozilla Firefox download pledge page, the map on this blog post ranks countries, not by absolute number of pledges made, but rather on a per capita basis. This analysis yields some interesting conclusions about where open source is strongest and weakest."
Anonymous Warthog writes "That didn't take long. In a blog posting from the TippingPoint DVLabs security team (of Kraken and CanSecWest hacking contest fame), they confirmed that they reported a vulnerability in Firefox 3.0 to Mozilla a mere five hours after it was released. Additionally, there was a posting on the Full Disclosure security mailing list from someone that purports to have another vulnerability in the works as well. In the grand scheme of things, this probably means nothing to the general security of Firefox, but you can be sure the browser zealots on all sides will be watching carefully."
Finally, from reader Toreo asesino: "Microsoft have congratulated the Mozilla team by sending them their second cake (minus recipe) to Mozilla's Mountain View headquarters to congratulate them on shipping FireFox 3, which went live right on time last night." Congratulations are indeed due on both the browser and the release process — looks like the Firefox fever (despite some seriously taxed servers) resulted in more than 8 million downloads in 24 hours.
Get to da choppa!

I believe Bill Hicks was murdered, via a "cancer sprinkle".
Those who speak out now either die of heart attack (via poisoning), fast-moving cancer, or some accidental type of method, never the lone gunman anymore.
Sure, lots of people will say, "But Hicks smoked his ass off!" Fuck that, the guy was at his peak, ready to bloom in America and his life was cut short by a "cancer sprinkle" from the powers that be. "Where's your proof?" Watch his videos, audio, everything from the guy, absorb through your eyes and ears, breathe his stuff, you'll see he was a lone preacher in the wilderness, trying to open our hearts to the reality of our present dictatorship. Friends, there is no land of the free, we are all slaves.
Bill Hicks:
"They dont want the voice of reason spoken folks, cos otherwise wed be free. Otherwise, we wouldnt believe their fucking horseshit lies, nor the fucking propaganda machine of the mainstream media and buy their horseshit products that we dont fucking need and become a third world consumer fucking plantation which is what were becoming. Fuck them. They are liars and murderers."
Where are voices of reason like this in today's media? Nowhere. The guy making a comment about GB hating black people and Rosie on The View telling people to Google gulf of T..... was as close as it got.
When a person speaks out to the people and for the people in a voice they can understand, they don't end up well soon after, this is fact. At the very least they are pulled from a show, or the show cancelled. If they are vocal enough and well respected enough not to be smeared or jailed, the shadows swirl around them.
Vote for Wesley Snipes and send a message: fuck your taxes we are not slaves.
