Fear of Porn URL Exposure Discourages Firefox 3 Upgrade
Barence writes "Mozilla's Security team has disclosed a very interesting piece of research which suggests people refused to upgrade to Firefox 3 because they were afraid the browser would expose their porn collection. Mozilla's research found that the number one reason for not upgrading was the new location bar, and the fact that it delved into people's bookmark collections to suggest sites as they typed. 'When we expanded the capabilities of the location bar to search against all history and bookmarks in Firefox 3, a lot of people contacted us to say that they had certain bookmarks they didn't really want to have displayed,' Firefox's principal designer, Alex Faaborg, tactfully explains. 'In some cases users had intentionally hidden these bookmarks in deep hierarchies of folders, somewhat similar to how one might hide a physical object.'"
Wrong! I'm not concerned about that at all because I don't have any porn links in my browser and don't have children.
My apologies, perhaps I should have written "The concern the original poster was expressing was that a person might want to hide their porn browsing from their wife & children." I had no idea that making a simple, logical suggestion would set off such a fire storm, but alas, porn is a subject dear to most /.ers. Es macht nichts, I have karma to burn, and I'm getting mod points faster than I can spend them these days.
Taking guns away from the 99% gives the 1% 100% of the power.
Considering that 16% of americans don't have health insurance, the argument could be made the other number is probably off by a similar margin (533%), which would give about 16.23% who are satisfied. Sounds about right.
Is that in the bible or something? Seriously, I get the prohibitions in Leviticus and the admonition not to covet your neighbor's wife (Presumably, their daughter is OK), but I don't recall any specific restrictions on watching sex acts on the internet.
It all boils down to Paul who was a self-loathing homosexual who was terrified of Women. He invented Christianity, except it wasn't until much later that anybody actually started believing the really dumb shit they believe today like:
There was an actual Jesus, the virgin birth and all the rest of that nonsense which early Christians knew weren't true. I mean ancient barbarians had a better grip on reality than any modern Christian. Truly frightening.
Sorry. Christians are very confusing to me.
They're deeply disturbed and confused people. They actually believe that whole Jesus story happened when nobody around at the invention of their myth believed any of that crap. To understand the depth of their delusion think for a second about who and what they are.
They are people who believe that a magical all powerful fairy created the whole freaking universe and everything in it. They further think this magical invisible fairy cares deeply about the trivial details of their lives and that he wants them to spend their time telling him how great he is and to read the messages he left for them. So, that's obviously batshit insane, but they go so much further off the deep end. They believe all that crazy shit, yet they can't be bothered to take the 5 minutes it would take to know the bible is complete bullshit and obviously has nothing to do with any gods and so couldn't possibly be the messages he left them were it even sane to pretend he existed in the first place.
Talk about the ultimate in hypocrisy, and that's every single Christian without exception.
Add in the fact that they consider the ultimate height of morality to be a deeply disturbed, mentally unbalanced, genocidal maniac with the maturity of a petulant 5 year old, and you're left with a deeply vile and disgusting group of people who are incapable of dealing with reality.
It would be sad if it weren't so disgusting and so dangerous to the good and decent people in the world.
