You have obviously never tried FF in enterprise environments. The original poster is correct, it can't be configured via GPO, only config files which the users can modify. I know there are work arounds for that but its a lot of messing around especially since you can configure and lock down both Chrome and IE via GPO.
Releases are still too rapid on the enterprise release, each release still needs to be assessed and checked before it's deployed. In locked down environments you don't want users installing stuff nilly willy, or have external sources push updates into your network. Mozilla still has an extremly long way to go on this front
And before you rant more about "competent administrators", FF requires a lot more administration than IE does and is a lot more fiddely to configure. I was on the ESR mailing lists for several months but then gave up on it recently when a dev (about 3 weeks ago, so extremly recent) posted Firefox is not an enterprise browser, and has never purported to be so.
I think FF should take a leaf from Google as to enterprise setups...
Let me clarify: If you have downloaded an episode from a torrent site, then in Australia this would constitute as piracy.
If you view said episode on a content providers site then this is not piracy - ie viewing content on iView, Seven etc.
If you have purchased said episode then you are allowed to rip it to your PC for viewing, but aren't allowed to redistribute said copy.
In terms of what the original poster said, my comment stands.
It doesn't matter whether a provider has already purchased the rights to screen the show, the fact that you have downloaded it without purchasing it is illegal in this country, though rarely prosecuted - see the iiNet vs AFACT case.
Does downloading these programs ahead of their broadcast in Australia constitute piracy if you're paying for the subscription television services that eventually broadcast them?
A disclaimer in the T&S is not sufficient under Australian advertising laws. Under Australian law the product must work as the consumer expects, no the other way around. So a consumer seeing an iPad 3 with 4G would reasonably expect it to work on a 4G network. Putting something in the fine print does not alleviate a company of their responsibility.
From what I understand our consumer laws over here in Oz are much fairer to the consumer than they are in the US.
Now, I've yet to see aviation and medical mission-critical software run on Linux.
I think you may want to revisit your statement. I used to work in a hospital. We had medical equipment that ran embedded Linux.
I currently work for a bank. We have ATMs that run embedded Linux. Our CCTV system runs embeded Linux in the cameras.
Did you know that a lot of banking mainframes run on Linux? I'd argue completely against your statement that no mission critical software runs on Linux.
Your spot on there - stars aren't "on fire". "Burn" is the incorrect word to use for stars, but can serve as a useful analogy for people. IANA physicist, but as mentioned above, the gravitational attraction of the star is enough to slam the lighter elements (hydrogen, helium) together to form heavier elements. The process generates a lot of heat and pressure, and continues while the gravitational and electro-magnetic forces keep each other in check (ie as long as there is light enough elements to fuse).

I read that at first as the version numbers increase at a speed fractional to light - ie i think something like 0.6C....

Yes it does.
Thats right - the patent that CSIRO put the claim in wasn't obvious as many companies had been trying to do this for several years.

$200? You can buy Win7 for $95 here in Australia...
Yes, but it would have been Churchill and Stalin on trial.....
lol - too true
