The FireFox updater could opt to install the new FoxTunes (I made this up, but it sounds like a cool name!) 'update' while it takes care of the browser as well.
Do what I did with it, frame it all nice and pretty like then put it on the wall in the bathroom across from the toilet. It seems to help provide that extra 'oomph' I need sometimes.
... We love to say we're a Christian nation, but our actions show time and again that this is simply not the case.... Not so much 'we' like to think it as others amongst 'we' like to think it because it makes them feel superior. The whole, "If you don't like it get out!" deal.
Take the Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli:
"As the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen..."
We have Christians in the US? Yup. We got non-Christians? Yup. Are we a 'Christian Nation'? Most likely not. Unless something happened while I was in the bathroom. This may be a topic for another time me thinks.
I'm not sure if Norton Products still do this, haven't used em in some time, but I would be playing a game and the Norton 'We gotta update!' window would pop up and either knock me out of the game or get me killed in said game. I know security updates are important, but damnit, wait for me to get out of the application before you decide you need front and center focus!
While this will probably earn me fire and a n00b tag, how the fuck does one remove the 'browser integration' that QuickTime does? Now everytime I go looking for sound effects and they come in MP3 format, it wants to play them in QT right off the webpage! I looked but I don't see anywhere to remove this POS feature.
Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but this is bar none one of the more annoying aspects of QuickTime. Gimme back my damned browser!
They're going to patent kittens, and then put rootkits on 'em. I've got one of these cats I think. Ever since I got her things keep breaking and if I put a shiny prefix on an object it disappears.
I can safely say I did not know this ability even existed. (Don't hurt me! I use FireFox at home! Honest! I even brought some FF t-shirts and the laptop tote.)
Just get a big enough bag and keep one of them as your personal electronics guard. Gotta be careful, I lost my left hand (thankfully not my right hand) and my right eye training the lil bastard. On the plus side, when they see a man with a left stump and only one eye, its a great conversation starter and dissuades them from checking. And if they DO check, they usually end up with a left stump and one eye too, so I get another person I can relate to.
...talking to your friend on the cell (even with a hand's free set) and your friend in the car is your friend in the car is in the same environment as you are, and knows when to shut the fuck up!
I used to work in a hospital on the IT side and the only 'monitoring' systems I can think of where this would be a problem aren't so much the ones that keep track of vitals but the ones used as the primary method of observation (think cath labs). Even then the vulnerable workstations/machines are used more for archiving and cataloging of imagery and procedure. Any real work is done on an embedded system with that particular piece of equipment. So if you have to get your heart cathed, don't worry as that machine probably isn't exposed to the internet. Those machines do not and should never be exposed to an open network. Some embedded systems ran a version of Linux, others were embedded NT and a couple were actually DOS (This varied by maker and age of equipment).
Someone pointed out fetal monitoring systems, I installed one last year a the hospital I worked at and the set up as as follows:
Server - (1x) Win2k3
Polling - (2x) DOS 6.22 (these boxes only relayed mesgs)
Monitoring Stations - (24x) WinXP Pro
The server itself was in a datacenter and the two polling machines were in a networking closet (easier to run lines from the actual monitoring hardware this way). The Workstations were XP and had internet access. They were locked down enough such that net access was allowed for research. Every so often one got infected (research apparently means games too I guess). It was pulled and one of the already staged spares was put into it's place until the infected machine had a chance to go through restaging. Through all this time, the nurses had MULTIPLE workstations, including two huge ass monitors (nice Dell 24inch flat screens with an 89' view angle) at the nurse's desk from which to view the babies. And they had manual procedures if the system went down. Which it was for two days during the initial move from testing into production. If there are no 'manual procedures' in place for when a system goes down the hospital is just ASKING for trouble. Granted in this case manual involved getting more nurses on the floor in that section, but they had it covered in case of a catastrophic event with that system.
While the monitoring systems may be vulernable, any decent hospital will not have it set up so the actual work horses doing the procedures are not exposed and have manual procedure in place should the machines go down.

My favorite line from that article was this: (enabling the boat to use its toilet at greater depth than before).
It sounds almost heroic to use THAT toilet! Men, I'm going to drop a load at a depth in the ocean, GREATER THAN ANY MAN HAS BEFORE!
Bart's voice is a she?
Isn't the guy who does the voice of Bart Simpson a Scientologist?

Not sure how this can be taken as flamebait, woof, some seriously sensitive people here.

Will this new expansion have quests? Oh please say it will... I've only got another 80 or so to go from the last expansion before I run out!
Come see me on Fenris, Alliance side!
How will this pass/fail the test?
Used in the search for GPSIV!
...into brand new Dutch Ovens.

Surprised no one has asked if this thing can play Crysis in all the bloomed particle splendor...
