Intercepting POST on an encrypted page needs to be tested, but replacing an input element is easy, it will also need to replace characters with **** asterisks and then on a post it'll have to replace the input back with a password field with the actual password in it.
FF does not need to modify API to protect against this, it needs to provide a way to protect specific pages from extensions modifying them, something like a 'locked page' that cannot be modified by any extensions. Any password page needs to be locked though.
I think you are actually wrong on this, it is the government policy to get 'consumers' (used to be called citizens) to consume, that's the entire premise of Keynesian economics. In fact look how stupid the entire country is: waiting for the spending numbers rather than production numbers to decide whether the economy is going up or down. All of the state policies are aimed at getting you into the shopping malls, the economy is debt based, it's all about borrowing and printing and staying in debt without any idea of how to repay it and in fact without the expectation of repayment.
Don't worry, nobody is forcing you to buy one, besides only a thousand will be sold in the US anyway, I am sure this Ferrari of a video card will find it's buyer.
Right, and every time I paint a ceiling it's like I have created another work of art - that not dissimilar to Rembrandt or Picasso. People come from all over the world to see the beautiful shade of white and they talk about it for years.
Others are inspired by my work so much, they want to go do this themselves. There are books dedicated to the study of my painting style./sarcasm off.
Dude, many people have the skills to do something particular they learned, many of them are even good at it. But nobody cares. Really, I actually made a few clothing cabinets, three kitchens and 2 staircases from raw wood, but so what? Many people can do that and nobody notices.
I also create software for living, again, who notices? Sure it may satisfy the needs of a particular customer, but outside of that domain nobody cares.
Besides, a skill gets you the money right there right then, on a per-contract basis. This is very different from trying to create a work that some people may like enough to pay for, like a movie or a book or a song. I wouldn't compare any of this.
I only care to answer one thing to it: people want Pepsi, fine, where did any person say he or she wanted Pepsi with fructose rather than with normal sugar (sucrose)?
I wrote an extension to FF long ago that was reading any form field at all, including password fields and was able to send this information to any address on the web via an http call. Starting from FF version 2 the method I used to read the form field (basically enumerating the form input fields with javascript) could no longer read the password field from a form.
And by the way, there is nothing that is a flamebait in the parent post, it is in fact informative. Check out the link that is found there, the link to a presentation on the dangers of fructose by a scientist studying the effects of it.
I understand that any deviation from the 'norm' here is considered a flamebait, the norm being that government cannot do wrong by setting policies, as long as the policies are about spending. What the people miss about these policies are the reasons to why they are set (political reasons) and the actual consequences of such policies (be it to health of the people or be it the detrimental effects to the economy).
Well, of-course corn syrup was used before, that is not what the argument is. The argument is that fixing of the food prices lead to the industry searching for the cheapest ingredients to replace normal ingredients in all processed foods, while at the same time getting rid of a very important food element (which you will not find in the government's 'food triangle' structure): Fiber. Fiber lets your body to process the sugars better leading to less harm, but it is difficult to keep on the shelves forever. Try watching the video I pointed to.
It's actually the government's fault, Nixon's fault to be precise.
You should watch this presentation on fructose if you are interested to find out why exactly the fructose is a poison equivalent to ethanol (alcohol) and how it kills you slowly in the same way and causes obesity and other diseases in humans.
What is interesting is how this came about, by the Nixon's government deciding that they want to eliminate food prices as an issue for reelection. Nixon - the same guy responsible for getting away from sound money (gold standard), they same guy setting up minimum wage laws, while opening the job market to China, the same guy who destroyed the working health insurance for people by getting government subsidies into it and causing the insurance prices to skyrocket, this guy is also responsible for the deteriorating health of the humans in this world through consumption of fructose.
By fixing food prices to make them 'stable', he caused the food producers to start searching for new and exciting ways of using the cheapest ingredients available, obviously that would be the most subsidized ingredients - corn, soy, wheat, rice (cotton as well, but that's not food.)
By getting government into health insurance (CHIP), he created a moral hazard for the medical establishment that allowed it to spike the prices up, which happens only when government guarantees to pay, same problem with government loans for higher education - prices shoot up.
By creating minimum wage laws the jobs below the minimum wage disappeared, this increases unemployment and kills entire segments of jobs (does anybody check your oil and tire pressure at a gas station anymore?) Doing this while opening trade with the cheapest provider of labor is asking for destruction of your own production capacity, which is the real reason behind the economy going south.
Nixon was an interesting fella, he allowed the special interests to dominate and to take over.
I dare you to live in something that's meat in an environment that still has any predators like bears, wolves, tigers, alligators or crocodiles, lions etc.
Well, on this planet we live in a gravity well, however I can sort of imagine a creature that could live in open space, feed on some solar radiation and be able to 'see' or feel gravity disturbances.
Oh yeah, Coyote ACME style, the only problem is calculating the event at the precise moment when the roadrunner is right above the manhole cover, or so that it gets right underneath it, I still think it is the Coyote who'll get hurt.
I wonder if anybody has ever died from being hit on the head with one of these, seems it is likely. Shouldn't there be a way to secure the covers to the ground with a bolt that would at least cause the cover to not fly up but just turn over in case of an explosion?
Who are you to tell my users what their business case is?
Also I am giving you the actual reasons why browser sucks at being forced to try and behave like a desktop application, you are dismissing it on your perverted reasoning that you know better what people need for their work!
whatever the browsers of today are designed for, I still find that when I try to display a table with 20,000 rows in it in 8 columns, it takes almost a minute to create/render this table in a browser, vs less than 1 second in a Java applet running in the same browser, so I can scroll to the very bottom of the JTable in the applet 1 second after the data starts loading, in the same time the browser renders maybe 300-400 rows.
This is not helped by any of the technologies that exist, GWT compiler/code cutter doesn't help, AJAX doesn't help, css only table doesn't help, inline HTML (also used by GWT table bulk renderer) doesn't help. You'll say: big deal, don't put that many rows there? I say: that's why a desktop app is better, I can put that many rows in there and I have a business case for it.
Browsers are designed and implemented to display documents, not to be as interactive as normal desktop apps, sure we try to cross that bridge with all the tricks and yet the browsers are just too slow for using as good desktop apps. They render and re-render to get the layout right the way the designers wanted it, but while recalculating all of those layouts and all of the elements that come in later, scripts that execute after the html is parsed and dom is created and css are applied and then re-rendering it to fit things right yet again.... browsers are just not good for replacing desktop apps. So that's where java applets come in (I guess for some it's flash/silverlight...)
discovered two previously unknown species of bottom-dwelling fish
- those are discovered around the oil spill, I'd call them previously and now future unknown species. The way they move using those little fins as legs doesn't inspire confidence that they'll be able to relocate far enough from the oily water and probably will all die once there is no more oxygen in the water around them, as the oxygen will all be consumed by the oil eating bacteria.

Well, I am just trying to become indistinguishable from a native English speaker/writer.
would you want Google trolling through your search data? How about governments?

isn't cost of the clean up a downside?

I mean bolts and some hinges to turn the thing over and slam it into the ground rather than for it to fly up
I wonder if anybody has ever died from being hit on the head with one of these, seems it is likely. Shouldn't there be a way to secure the covers to the ground with a bolt that would at least cause the cover to not fly up but just turn over in case of an explosion?

- I have less than 5 heads on me and I do have fewer than 50 fingers as well. Sounds about right.
