And you know the craziest thing I've heard about Firebug? Allegedly, people also use it to debug web applications written in JavaScript! Applications... On the web... In JavaScript...
What's next? Apple running on Intel? Bill Gates becoming a humanitarian?

Why is Secunia (http://secunia.com/advisories/35798/2/) only featuring a link to the exploit of the ff3.5 0day but no link the Mozilla bugtracker?
Don't want to sound trollish but I don't really know how this whole security business works. So can anyone please explain why there is no bug report for the open source browser?
I know I will be modded troll or something but I was just amazed that you can find an actual manual by googling! It's probably useless but anyway, kudos to EPSON.
Sorry for coming so late to the discussion but I found it too awkward how everyone who's answered you has only commented on the walking distance.
You said 'wherever you happen to live'. Well I live in Germany and I won't say we don't have bar fights over here but I can assure you that you can't just walk into any bar and start a fight. People in general are less and less tolerant towards violent behaviour and more often than not they will stop the bar fight before it really begins. The 'bad places', where people just don't care what's happening around them, have bouncers who will kick you out at the first sign of violent behaviour.
Commenting on the original topic, I like to think, the more people are exposed to virtual violence (or human suffering in general) - and it's not just video games today but also news espacially war / disaster coverage, documentaries and of course movies - the more people grow sensitive towards any of that happening 'for real'. We don't need to see what a broken beer bottle can do to a person's face to learn that it's a Bad Thing because we have already seen an artistic depiction or maybe even actual footage of it in a video game or on the Internet or TV.

So what you want is your car being pulled by your old horses without slowing the car down. I really like the Ford quote;)
A web browser is not a PDF viewer and it's not a JVM either. The whole idea of having external plugins bring functionality to the browser for which it was never designed is a complete mess. This is why there are only workarounds so far. (In some way like plugins have been workarounds for missing browser features, in the first place.) Replacing the current plugin architecture will be the real solution.
I just wanted to give kudos to the submitter for linking to the print version of the article.
When I read 'InfoWorld' in the summary I was at first hesitant to click the link. And really, the original article spreads over 8 pages, contains a giant ad in the middle of what little text is shown on each page and even tries to open a popup.
I can't actually comment on the quality of the submission itself, as I haven't RTFA, but the quality of the link should serve as an example to everyone.
I'd wish you all the best for the project and that one of your peers gets caught by your software. So that you can experience first hand what ethics are good for.
But this would be quite a selfish wish and only would only do bad for society.
I've fucked your mother. Maybe my ethics are questionable but at least I provide the public with the situation at hand (so they too can form an opinion).
The GP is right for telling the OP to fuck himself.
We're all intelligent enough to make decisions based on reason and morals. If the OP had declined this job in the first place because of its ethical implications and had told us about that instead, he could have been a role-model.
But as it stands, he only serves as a target for our powerless outrage.
What you don't mention is that Europeans still have a say in political decisions. In the case of the german data retention law proposal, here is a page full of possibilities for Germans to stand up against the new trend of privacy restriction.
And about the "trojan buzz", enjoy your old news! German politicians still seem quite impressed by big brother, saviour and winner of wars USA and would really really really like to copy all of its political and economical success. And so they cry their fads.
But did you notice that constitutions in Europe actually mean something?
Politicians can come up with the wackiest of ideas. That way they give me a chance to be an active citizen. Maybe you should stop moaning and make use of your bloody rights!
Oh, you Americans! Can't you get it into your heads?
Just because you like to embarrass yourselves doesn't mean the rest of the world must like it, too!:P
What do all those parts actually cost?

Mod me flamebait but I'm always interested in comparing the estimated manufacturing costs to the price tags Apple puts on its gadgets.
I know the parent is off-topic but so are all those uninformed comparisons to Germany's past.
Maybe you should remind yourself from time to time that there was more to the war than just who won it and who lost it. Germany's past is not a fscking joke. It should be a lesson to everyone.

Also, Firebug is your friend.
Have you just woken up from cryostasis*, too?

Beautiful! I didn't know /. allowed posting screenshots.

Since you seem to work in the porn industry[NSFW] it actually makes sense to hear that phrase a lot.
