Yes, that's what many people are whining about. Anyway, I switched over to IE from Moz and go the same message. I don't think it's an issue of being IE-only (even though the site requirements state such).
Does anyone really think that telling a developer that "they must validate input", for example, is really going to do any good? If the developer is lazy or even better (since laziness is no excuse) a newbie , perhaps they would be better served with some example code. A few brief snippets in popular languages covering common circumstances would go a long way to help reduce widespread security holes.
For example, a Perl snippet showing how to check for the validity of an email address. A VBScript snippet providing an example of comentizing for the sake of seperating out privelages. PHP snippets demonstrating resuse of trusted components.
I hate to break it to you buddy, but perhaps you should read the article before starting your trolling. Free Geek is helping with this project. It's even on their news page.
I view ASP pages in Mozilla all of the time. Just so you know, ASP is something that the server processes, which then sends you a page that is rendered in your browser.
How is Mozilla keeping you from viewing ASP pages?
I've never had the "this application has stopped responding" with a 1.0+ version of Mozilla. I do get it all of the time with Internet/Windows Explorer. Odd that.
That was actually my point. I wasn't trying to make WD look bad - just saying that there are people who have major problems, then there are many more of us who don't have any problems (relative to other hardware or software issues).
1. Announce through the usual marketing and promotions channels that your company (or the one you represent) is *thinking* of performing an outrageous stunt that no one has undertaken previously. 2. Wait for the news to propogate to various news agencies, then to web/television/radio/print and finally down to community level news sites or groups. 3. Sit back and drink your latte before undertaking the next marketing campaign.
Bringing security problems to light helps users and admin professionals deal with issues that they may have otherwise never known about, had things been left solely up to the discression of the vendor (in this case Microsoft).
That is motive enough. Having a security hole pointed out *is not a bad thing*. It's a good thing - it gives the vendor motivation to provide a fix and it gives users/admins the information necessary to avoid falling prey to malicous acts.
First of all making bugs/exploits/whatever known to the public is a perfectly acceptable way of getting the information out to those who protect systems and those who need to protect themselves.
Secondly... are you just grabbing conspiracy theories out of thin air? Where did you even come up with this? I would like to know.

Fatbrain does not really exist anymore, does it? It was my understanding that they were bought by Barnes & Noble's parent company, then the website itself was absorbed into bn.com.
Actually, teachers do have bosses down their neck. Not to mention parents.
I know plenty of teachers that spend their evenings and weekends doing lesson plans, grading essays, making sure the kids extra-curricular activities are worthwhile, etc.
In my opinion, the job should pay more than practically anything else out there. Teachers should be paid as if they are leaders and nurterers of our future.
Whoa, don't feed the troll:). While I agree that the post your replying to is moronic, take it easy.
Teachers are seriously overworked and underpaid and from what I have seen have *more* work-related skills, team-work methodologies, blah blah blah than anyone I've seen in IT (large/small companies, admin/development, all of them). I respect teachers and think it takes a lot of cajones to get a degree (or two) then deal with what they do - and get paid nothing for it! I was raised by a single-mom teacher and yes we were on welfare, although she had too much pride for food stamps - all after putting herself through college while raising three brats. (way to go mom!)
However, Zanth_ your statement that it takes 2-3 degrees to teach is inaccurate. In some places, they are so desperate for teachers that they provide limited training certificates to people without degrees (or at least degrees related to the field they will be teaching - I'm sure I'm a little wrong on this).
Anyway, props to all the teachers out there, especially any that can keep up with essential stuff like technology that has nothing to do with the core essence of your job.
Slashdot Mirror
And there are options to restrict images in mail and Javascript in mail under Mozilla. What's your point? :)
I would say around before the christian bible, as well. This includes such myths as the great flood, the fall of Babylon and other tales.

Six digits here.
or even better a spellchecker for me.
For clarity, "comentizing" is "componentizing".
I like where they are goign with this, but....

Just a thought.
Great for me, indeed. Mozilla works absolutely flawless for me at work and at home. On six machines total.

Have a good day and better luck next time.

*yawn* Sorry, but MMORPGs that let you be specific characters seem to defeat the purpose. 200,000 jedis running around or 300,000 spider-men. Fun.
I wish I could mod you up.
Exactly. Their name is known because of the huge sales and immense fanbase of their *PC* games.
That was actually my point. I wasn't trying to make WD look bad - just saying that there are people who have major problems, then there are many more of us who don't have any problems (relative to other hardware or software issues).
A little google shows us:
Western Digital - EVIL
User reviews on CNET
So some people have problems, some don't. The problems do sound scary, though.
I think I use WD pretty much exclusively, btw. I think I've had one problem with them ever. Could be luck, though.
Sucks when the propopaganda machine is working against you for a change isn't it? ;)
"And this is funny because... ?" ... I'm not sure very many people actually read the article, judging from the posts.

Now that's pretty damn neat. Much more deserving of being a story imo.
The planet in question in the article is actually closer to being around 370,345,488,187,437 miles away.
