The problem have already been solved for Firefox users. And I agree with Nielsen it's a pain if you are sitting in an area with privacy.
In fact I think some website are just a pain in the neck with the security requirement they inflict.
WTF would you need an 8 char password to comment on a newspaper article when my bank only requires 6. It's poor usability to max out security on sites that have minimal need.
So true! At 34+ I wasn't impressed with needing to carry ID to buy a drink in Virgina, at Maccados in Roanoke even. Apparently they were fined for the 3 time the week before for serving a glass of wine to a 70yo. Mined you I could have bought enough fireworks at Kmart to blow up a small town. Or cigarettes for $1 a packet when they were $10 in Australia.
The cost of fussy bullshit is why the US don't have free health care.
Face it the reason the US doesn't have public health care is because the political system is corrupt and panders to every big corporate group in existence. The will to make a profit over rides the health of the population. It is a model for a pandemic.
They can't find the first episode of Dr Who or many of the early versions have been lost. Is this the model they we want to bring to Open Source or it is already here.
And the very first thing China will block is the word 'democracy' they wouldn't want to poison any minds with that word or what it links to. Pornography is the excuse for censorship, it is not the reason to implement it.
"Locking -- Details of how to remove the add-on have been shown in previous posts. Discussions on whether the merits of Microsoft doing this are outside the remit of this support forum."
I wonder how Adobe would react if this was done to Acrobat. Or.net got access to Flash to say collect stats that might benefit Silverlight. Or just injected features of Silverlight into Flash.
I'd like to see someone do some hard tests on this, seriously FF seems slow to start with it enabled and stability has been improved since it was removed. I'd like to know if this was just imaginary.
Which clearly means we should hold hands much more often. It's odd that holding hands in the boardroom of major corporations isn't more common given how they are so good at rimming.
What a load of crap! Slashdot is totally neutral to all things. We posters are cynical on all issues. We are every bit as cynical about Apple and Linux.
Should MS have done this? Totally NOT. I had to bugger about for a week and finally to reinstall Windows to get.crap to load. I suspect because I had used the FX beta (and that was after I used the special removal tool buried in MS TechNet that is best found using Google). I couldn't update Silverlight or install Visual Studio. I've managed to keep my original install of XP running despite having updated the hardware at every level 3+ times in those ~7 years until.crap came along..crap is the worst MS software install I have ever experienced. It has the feeling of 'we will force you to Vista' written all over it. There are issues with ATI use of.crap in CCC that I still haven't been able to resolve. CCC worked fine here until.crap was updated. ATI couldn't careless about fixing CCC for users on AGP cards and simply reverted to 'not supported' as a 'don't give a stuff' (DGS) solution.
Solutions I tried showed that only way to get.crap installed was to strip every part of it from the system and then reload each module in order. MS have never provided a single (one package) that manages to deal with.crap as a collective.
If the question was asked "Do you want.crap to invade your install of Firefox 3, 3.5 and Minefield?" clearly the answer here would have been "bugger off".
In fact the 'question' if it were honestly put would have been...
"Would you like to install MS.crap into your standards compliant browser and assist Microsoft to break the web with technologies that extend the web services to Microsoft only clients like we did with JScript and every other opportunity we can find to cause the web to be fragmented into the has windows and has nots and potentially open a security hole with source code that can't be reviewed by the Mozilla team that may or may not destabilize your Firefox browser and slow down start up times?
With [YES] & [FUCK NO RACK OFF]
Clearly 99.9% of sane people who understand are going to choose the 'rack off' option.
It's an underhanded attempt to break the web. Nothing more and nothing less. That people here are a tad pissed about it... really I think the reaction to this has been too mild.
The best thing for the web is the removal of Microsoft at the front and backends. We already have the pain in the arse drifting standards of IE to deal with. The CSS, JavaScript and XMLRequest differences.
What's needed is a class action by Web Designers to recover the time required to write Conditional Comments from Microsoft. Why should I or my clients pay for Microsoft browser war. And we should have a class action support by Mozilla for the time it takes to remove this from Mozilla products and have that cash given to the Mozilla Foundation.
If putting.crap into Firefox was necessary it should have been done in the open and discussed in the development forum at Mozilla. There is absolutely no excuse for this, it is a deliberate act to extend the browser wars to break the web with technologies that are not required and are specific to the Windows platform.
The comments in Slashdot, rather than being 'anti-Microsoft' haven't gone anywhere near far enough. Was it discussed in the Mozilla forum? I'll go look today but I seriously doubt it. Surely we would have heard the screaming.
It breaks security, the Firefox distribution model, the universal web and software etiquette.
Proof that geeks smoke pot. If they can't deal with the bullshite of pot laws then they have no chance of dealing with the rest of the crap. Funny but the governments that don't give a shit about pot are also the ones that have faced up to the challenge of global warming.
It could be a valid litmus test of an ability to face reality and deal with it.
Istanbul processor with six c (Constantinople) cores that utilizes the HS (Hagia Sophia) memory controller which breaks the OP (Orthodox pathways) with a bus known to bomb on the cross over to the OIC (Olympic image controller).
Nuclear powered production of oil in pristine landscapes. It's 101 ways to stuff the world for generations to come. And there is masses of cash in it. The perfect investment for someone with no morals, idea for you sir.
You will be able to buy lifestyle. All you have to do it BS the government into promoting the idea as 'good for everyone' can you do that?
No worries a couple of political 'donations' and it's jobs done ready to server.
I don't know anyone with Bipolar that actually likes taking lithium. Most have side effects and all hate the process which includes blood monitoring. It's not a first choice medication.
That said one of the issue we face is that food is grow on the same fields over and over, with in may cases only NPK added back to the soil, so it might indicate that low levels of lithium like many other trace elements are now depleted in basic foods.
Then again you could buy God water from Peter Popoff and do away with food entirely.;)
The fricken crap you Americans have generated is screwing with me when I fall asleep in front of the TV. If I don't get some youthful essence soon my Danos is going to go all Guthy Renken on Mr T.
What FF3.5 lacks in is SVG tidy up. Go try Safari in the real world or EI8. In Safari text done in sIRF with transparency gets a green background. Using Lightbox swf objects appear over the mask.
Why even comment on IE8 it is just too crap.
The day Firefox gets 100% on the Acid test it will be because they did the work right across the board and the score of 100% will be reflecting that effort. I won't be that they looked at what the test assess and fixed those items to get a good grade. Mozilla isn't a marketing organization, they are devoted to code quality and nothing else.
Apple, Google and Microsoft will always be out to add spin. Spin is what they do.
What exactly will Twitter manage that a lack of free public medicine in the US won't? There is a whole breeding ground for a virus of people who won't be able to afford to go to a doctor, won't have cash to buy medicines and have lived in medical ignorance for their whole lives.
Pig flu is obviously going to go ape shit on the poor and the US will be responsible for an international pandemic.
The homophobia of a President gave the world AIDS through inaction, now the lack of a public health system will give us the flu.
And look where this came from... a country enslaved by American corporations looking for cheap labor and slack environmental policies.
This is pretty serious stuff. I think the truth is that Australia is bring used as a test case for internet censorship at the international level by the hegemony.
I don't know anyone who feels the need for this intrusion into civil liberties. It's step on of a new world order... 'shut the fuckers down'.
Ever think that the faster a computer runs, the more memory it handles they higher the probability of an error.
If OSes hadn't improved imagine the hell we would be in now. Win 95 crashed every 30 minutes or more on a 486 running at 33Mhz. At 3,000Mhz that could be seen are 30m/90.9 or a crash every 20 seconds.
Windows isn't more sensitive to a memory error, it just depends on where in ram the error is. Vista loaded the OS files in different memory locations with each boot to prevent 'badware' from finding a sweet spot in ram to attach to. Hence a memory error which in XP my effect some incidental program and go unnoticed in Vista can cause errors that vary for each boot cycle.
