When lights are upgraded, retro-fitted, jammed into housings with tape and glue; have the damn lights aimed proper by a competent mechanic or a person with experience.
I have had to "adjust" quite a few lights for weekend light install festers. I cannot even fathom the amount of driver owners who upgrade their lights with or without headlamp housings that do not re-position their lamps.
There are many nights that I wish for a bazooka to fix these cross eyed headlamps or the ones that try to help the moon lunar surface with more light or both!!!
and this will keep it updated to the latest released version.
I understand that a lot of people are upset with Mozilla doing fast releases upon the community but I am also scarred from the IE6 clusterfuck. Having a browser sit with swiss cheese holes for many, many years and the banged up band-aid jobs I have seen in corporate enviroments really makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a #2 pencil and take cyanide, It has been a bitch. I do not want to see this happen again.
What I do see taking place here is added features being incorporated under the hood of Mozilla. The GUI interface can be argued by all of us until the Sun expands in about 4.5 billion years and kills us all. For you pedantics out there, I know that we just might possibly be wiped by other things by then.;)
Software will always be in-motion and it will always require the "adapt or die mentality". Enterprise's will always demand stability where as, us, normal comp geeks want features. This can all be resolved by following a standard(s) for the core browser, better API for the browser and for addons; which Mozilla does an ok job and let the rapid release schedule add it's features.Mozilla needs to add fine grain control to the browser for enterprise usage. I'm well aware of the enterprise Mozilla comment stated by one half cocked developer.
I have 10 different addons that has worked since 4.0 and I'm using 6.0 right now with no issues.
You have to do an expert install to add it. I have not done a basic easy install in a llloooooonnnnggg time to comment on the add. From vague memory, it was not an option during basic installing.

He's not referring to ISP backbone tech that is generally easy to upgrade due to it being above ground and easily accessible within a building. He is implying that it is the last mile to our home connections, is where the latency is awkward and flawed due to our crappy lines and equipment connections that they (Cable/Tel-COs) refuse to upgrade because that requires actual back breaking work, I.E: digging, cutting, splicing, many miles of cables into the trunk line.
They are milking it until the end of time or just waiting for competition--LOL!
You are an idiot. The "shared" nature of a cablemodem network isn't the problem AT ALL.
I'm sorry, this is bugging me. No, he is right! Who is the one doooooooing all of the bitching and caught red handed for throttling? THE CABLE CORPS!
The problem is the cost of bandwidth in general.
It's not about cost, it's about total fair usage on their god forsaken, over sold, single used,cable lines in all of the neighborhoods.
They are all ran in a looped sequence. Picture the data flow like this:
Backbone-->Cable Corp-->Cable-Trunk-->Neighborhood-Box-->Customer-->Customer-->--Customer-->Customer-->Damn this is so slow!-->and again-->Neighborhood Box-->
Customer-->Customer-->Customer-->Customer-->Damn this is so slow!
Do you know how much the bandwidth your ISP resells to you costs THEM? It's a hell of a lot more than $40-$60 for 6 megabits. More like $100/megabit. More than that if your ISP is in a rural area.
This is where it gets interesting. The cost is split up amongst all of the customers in each neighborhood allocation, for example in neighborhood 1, we have, let's say, 20 customers signed up with HSI alone, at a basic cost of $50.00 each. So we take 20x50= $1000.00 in neighborhood 1.
At $1000.00 in neighborhood 1, it starts adding up quick, once you start multiplying all of the cable customers across multiple states and this does not take into account the rest of the services and fees they offer. The profit made, becomes quite clear.
I'm damn sure that they have no problem paying for their main pipes while making a killing from their spread out multiple customer states.
So do you mind telling me why they are not upgrading their networking equipment; Inspiring minds want to know?
Cable ISPs aren't trying to be dicks. They're trying to keep the cost of the service down. To actually provide 6/8/10 megabits to EVERY user would mean that, guess what, you'd be paying a $200/month for the service. At least.
All they are really doing is creating additional profit costs. There is no guarantee that they will give anyone an uninterrupted surf, at this much X speed, at these times day/night, with X many heavy users penalized, NONE!
So instead of upgrading their equipment at the same time they pump more bandwidth into their looped shared lines, the overall cable populace speeds will not get resolved. The cat has caught up with the mouse.
They need to get it thru their big heads, that all technology expands at a fast rate. It's just a bandaid fix to not upgrade. They are trying to cover up for their lack of foresight on their infamous networking topology at just being cheap.
ALL ISPs oversubscribe their bandwidth. That's the business. It's not going to change. It isn't profitable any other way.
This is why it needs to stop! Honesty is the best policy. They either, redo their network topology or just upgrade the network gear and this will not be an issue.
I'm thinking, they have reached their full potential with shared line living and don't know what to do without redoing it all and/or playing division with peoples internet.
All they need to do is create a TrueCrypt container or the like and write the data to be backed up into it before copying it to the archival medium. Then you don't need an armored vehicle, or even a stun gun.
That's just it. It's becoming very mind numbing knowing that, to this day, after several "oooopppssss", this is still happening with hardly any use of encryption, especially at the health care level. I really am wondering why there are not any protocols setup with use of encryption in mind?
If encryption protocol is too complex, then why not use armored vehicles during their normal money pickups and drop them off into the companies safety deposit box within the bank?
Information is just wayyyyy too valuable to leave on the seat of any car.... IMO.
Can these hospitals not be able to use armored vehicle services, such as Brinks, to take these tapes to a bank with safety deposit boxes?????
What would be so hard to set something up like that for any of the states VIP information storing?
I'm getting a little sick and tired of the lowest guy/girl on the totem pole who is in charge of delivering off site critical information and losing it. Ok, I'm done!
If that were true then surveyors would still be using and transits and compasses... well, they do, but that's not the point. Don't confuse consumer GPS with professional grade. The latter is accurate to within a few millimeters, Being accurate is not the problem, It's the funeral director asking his/herself:
"Now where did I put those GPS coordinates of your grandma; DAMN IT!?!".

Sure, If you are dead set on using just the supplied version in a desktop enviroment. This has been resolved with this method:
http://mozilla.debian.net/
add this to your sources.list:
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports iceweasel-release
and this will keep it updated to the latest released version.

Oh Flumpping WHOOOOOSSSSSHHHH, No wonder Johnathen & Scott preached only on SUNdays......
Alright, I'm going back into moms basement to read my SUNdial....................

Oh great! Now GM will implement a "robot companion" with their "On-Star", when you purchase a new auto.

What if the robot decides to turn into a nazi ss death head, when you wreck and the operator on the On Star system hears you
