If you are cheap, and can't afford a Klingon Keyboard, then just use klingon phrases and throughout your work and play. How are phishers supposed to know that "Bocktagh Massacre" is your username, or that "I eat raw Kitblagh." is your bank's password?
So, until the keyloggers come with screenscrapers, I figure I'm safe no matter what computer I'm sitting at.
I hate talking politics... but COME ON... the democrat line towed for as many decades back as I can remember is that everybody needs to government to protect you and the social safety net, about 57% of the government outlay (check your IRS report). That number is only going to get bigger, real soon now.
Even back in WWII it was practiced. Just keep telling the people that the bad guys are coming and that anyone who says differently is a fool who will get you killed or a traitor and supporter of those evil men.
What on earth are you talking about? Perhaps after the war, when overzealous politicans started chasing down communitsts... But WWII?
For the past few weeks, I've probably spent between 4 to 12 hours per week contributing graphics and code to another, slightly less visible open source project. I personally don't do Firefox, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the point of your question.
Mozilla's Firefox can probably claim to have thousands of eyeballs looking at the much of the code, as the multi-platform nature of it means a larger installed base and more interested developers.
Just because it's critical doesn't mean it's enlightening. I could give my five year old daughter a stack of printouts detailing vulnerabilites found by group XYZ, and in a second she can tell you which stack was bigger and might even count them out if she felt inclined to. That's not enlightening... What matters is quality, not quantity.
Also, anybody can get access to the source of Firefox, while IE doesn't have publicly viewable source code. Comparing vulnerabilities among the two browsers is an apples and oranges afair thanks to this.
This is billed as the first time an artist has released such a track to the public for remixing, but it probably isn't. And you can do what you want with it, except for the things that you can't do with it (commercial releases). Most importantly, this is the biggest thing Trent's done since Quake, which is really dating himself. Remember the "NIN" ammo boxes?
A man brought his money into a bar... after a few drinks, the monkey hopped up onto the bar, swallowed an apple whole, smashed a pool cue, then popped up on the pool table and devoured a cue ball. Embarrassed by that behavior, the man grabbed the money and escaped the bar.
2 weeks later, the monkey acompanied the man to the bar again. Subdued, it hopped on to the bar, grabbed a cherry, stuffed it into his rear, pulled it out, and ate it. The bartender, disgusted, asked the man why on earth he's bringing that monkey in... Why, after making a wreck last time and showing peculiar eating habbits today?
"Well", says the man, "he's learned a lot since eating that cue ball. For instance, he checks the size of anything he eats."
Misconception. Truth be told, it's probably not hard to run something like jhbuild after installing Slackware... Very few people use Slackware anyway, and the ones that do are probably qualified to run a GNOME build system such as jhbuild or GARNOME with little trouble.
Simply put, it's probably better for Slack to work on parts they care about.

Natalie Portman, grits, and Michael's biography. If the students are Korean, replace Portman with Katie Holmes. Be sure to repeat your lecture at least 3 times a week, each time using a different lecturer.
I learned everything I know about alien languages from Celestia. You may know her as 'Anne Heche'... She has a primer for alien languages that is included as part of a Barbara Walters interview, and it rocks.
It's all centered around what is called The Gospel Of Love. The doorway to Celestia's Heaven is in Fresno.
"The Eclipse [eclipse.org] project actively encourages its users and clients to log bugs and change requests as well as vote and comment on them through their Bugzilla. [eclipse.org]"
Perhaps you didn't read Eugenia's original post to desktop-devel-list... no shame in that. She neglected to link to it in her own article, which suggests at least a modicum of shame (though not enough to stop her from posting the article). It says, and I quote:
I currently have 20 feature requests for Gnome 2.1. Where should I place them? The Bugzilla is not where I want to place them because: a. no one will pay attention ultimately (gazillion of feature requests never go anywhere there, let along bug reports) b. I don't want to spend half an hour placing 20 features requests on the bugzilla one by one.
Her first point is bogus... I'm with many other volunteers in traiging GNOME Bugzilla regularly, and have worked on many enhancements myself.
Her second point... She is too lazy to file enhancements at bugzilla. However, she's got plenty of energy to send e-mail using Microsoft Outlook to a GNOME developer's mailing list, then write the article at OSNews.
Yes, GNOME encourages people to file enhancements at Bugzilla. Eugenia, however, rejects this, then says GNOME Developers doesn't listen to users.
I guess I should stop bitching about how, horrible, nonsensicle, slow, clunky, awkward, unintuative, difficult and inferior spatial browsing is and just brainwash myself into liking, no, adoring the 50+ open windows peppered across all my desktops.
I can't claim not to have done any GNOME development, but this is not an official position... just know this: If you've managed to get 50+ open windows peppered across your desktop, may you are indeed the one that needs to change.
Just ask any working man or woman with a family to support... Now, family comes first, always. It doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing, even if you are in an office many miles away.
Working from home simply means family comes first more often.
Doc: The only problem with theme is that they really quite a lot longer to do properly than 4 hours. Conceptually, it's easy. I could tell you how to fix the background bounty as well as include proper SVG background support in Nautilus, but implementation is where all the time will be wasted... Making sure there's no regressions and all the bases are covered. Heck, I fear how many days an average GNOME hacker might spend just getting familiar with eel before fixing this....
Well, those patches would no only have to pass scruitiny by those offering the bounties, but more importantly, the package maintainers as well. I'm not concerned.
Here's a reason: Most people with the experience needed to do this work easily make well over the ammount these bounties offer (~$200 for something that is very non-trivial) in less than a day or two at their day job. The bounties are simply added incentive to fix messy problems, very rarely will you see somebody take them on unless they already wanted to scratch that itch.

If "your computers" are the only ones you would have to worry about keyloggers on, you probably do live in a basement. :)

I for one welcome our new "Dick and Jane"-reading overlords.
We've already got one in the White House.
Damn you, Angelina Jolie! Is nothing sacred?
The Opera CEO announced he would swim from England to the USA for a mere fraction of firefox downloads.
Accordingly, perhaps Firefox users could tell Microsoft to take a hive dive into a shallow pool.

In other news, EA Games has set its sights on acquistion of a new game studio in Canada.

Actually, for this particular one, they tend to say "NOTABUG" or "WONTFIX".

As far as I know, those tags don't show up with Mozilla Firefox on windows, only with Internet Explorer.
As seen on OSNews
While you are at it Eugenia, your readers/users want
1). A better comment system for OSnews.
2). Registration based commenting.
3). Support for all XHTML tags (it's freaking 2005!)
4). A better moderation scheme.
5). A user friendly editor with spell checking and automatic tagging.
6). Ability to reply directly to comments with ugly @ in the reply field.
7). Ability to place certain trolls on an ignore list.
8). Ability to edit comments that have already been posted.
Oh and your users have been clamoring for these features for years. Why haven't you implemented them?
