We want them to go that far. Then we can go AH-HA!
How would you recommend we make it so only certain programs can access certain folders? Make a folder untouchable except for a specific program, without using a different user to do this.
about:plugins is your friend. I wish they'd make it more straightforward. Maybe have an option to not load it for your profile, and another option to open the folder the plugin resides in. The name of the plugin's library could be show to the user before the folder is opened in case of multiple libraries per folder.
We should just make a foundation that goes around and sues companies that make auto installing toolbars, maybe hire some layers to pull them through the mud, using despicable legal tricks to stall the case and cost them money. Small claims court cases submitted out of town or to a minor employee so when they ignore it you autowin.
This is not acceptable, the button should always be enabled even if the file is a plugin and resides outside of mozilla's profile folders, have a delete plugin file button. When you click it if you don't have the user rights to delete the file it should automatically throw a user escalation prompt. How hard is it to get this right? COME ON!
While we are at it forbid installation of plugins and extensions without direct user approval from inside firefox. What OTHER installers are doing to firefox shouldn't be trusted, not at all.
Not enough, damned expert's exchange! I had to download a grease monkey script and everything, seriously screw those guys.
And have you tried searching for a name of an executable? "HURRR CLICK HERE TO FIX XYZ.EXE RELATED ERRORS" NO! I just want relevant information on the damn executable not traps for computer illiterate people and the shovel ware the sites are peddling.
Have you read on the work some people are doing into reducing radioactive elements to less dangerous ones with high strength lasers? It's great stuff. If we expand on that technology we could further minimize the toxic footprint of the nuclear power plants.
I thought getting into people's business was a big no in Japan, and only people that get a perverse kick out of sticking their noses in other people's business do it all the time. Sort of like public trolls, because they know people are inherently more private.
How about people get off their asses and pass laws that make farming e-mail addresses of people from the internet a crime punishable by imprisonment? Further a host that sends spam is disconnected from the internet. How much spam needs to be sent can be determined by the large e-mail providers like Gmail, Yahoo,msn and what have you else. A national(international if you will) database of spammers can be made and the top X off the list get their ips disconnected.
His mad skills at answering security questions based on public information? I agree with you though, that kid should have gotten at most several months of public work.
What's worse is because of draconian drm the games themselves work at least one third better compared to with the drm sucking up valuable ms coding and decoding things. The worst offender is by far Valve's steam platform on older hardware. I have a friend that owns the entire valve release catalog from one of their series, but chooses to play the single player stuff cracked and without steam running. I've seen the fps output from cl_showfps and net_graph.
It realizes the futility of it's existence and chooses to self terminate before Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks the entire apartment block, house cul-de-sac.
While it may now offer a function to search, other sites do. For example 4chan's automated scraper that catches rs links posted all over it and offers them for search via/rs/. There are other less legit sources for rapidshare searching but why even bother. There are way more convenient ways to find specific data.
They'd get VAC banned in a few weeks either way. The only problem is false positives, like steam detecting something like HLDJ or some other mod that isn't used to cheat.
Aren't we already over this? Encryption keys are numbers, you can't patent or claim copyright on numbers. You can't do that for a set of numbers either.
I don't mind buying books, but i want to give money directly to the author, thus cutting out the middle man. eReaders need to be developed by companies without a horse in the publishing busies.

WHY is it grayed out? WHY MOZILLA? Tell us?

That would be the logical thing to do, but noooooh the world is full of simpletons who can't FATHOM several things working at the same time.

And people wonder why i don't leave any personal information online anymore.

Yeah, i was thinking more along the lines of click happy parents' computers.
Do they have on file access scanners now? They didn't use to.
The USBOP - US Federal bureau of prisons.
Yes they are making an example out of him. Some one should spike them for it all over the media.

You can always replace those you know, even with keys with no markings.

What a wild imagination you have there extreme neutralist
Oh you know, hosting mods for games, archives full of images this sort of stuff.

As it should be. Censorship with patents is such hogwash.

So are the sudo logs stored on portable media? Because if you really managed to fuck up the system you might be able to nuke the sudo logs too.
