What's important is to have LTS release for the enterprise. Like FF4, FF8 could be LTS. LTS means security fixes. Also have MSI packages for those lazy admins that can't create one themselves. That's mostly all that is needed and just need ONE guy at Mozilla, not even full time, to please the internet and enterprise.
Its hype to bash Firefox and acclaim Chrome - even if what people bash Firefox for is what Chrome is doing. The actual changes and features, nobody cares!
The sad state of the current browser war and so many other things. What matters lately is what will sound cool/bad, what will give you senseless forum arguments. Not the reality. We've became _that_ superficial.
im pretty sure they mean passive, real defenses here that said 200 000 while its good for a small thing, its nothing if someone comes up with something groundbreaking.
If you had followed anything you'd see they have rewritten the complete graphic toolkit they use so that OOP could be used. Chrome has been built from scratch and does not have the customizability of XUL, and XUL is a big beast to make such changes. That's why its long.
I dunno what's the complain about the status bar. It's still there. They put it back before release. It's just not always displaying. I doubt you care to see the bar when it's empty. I sure don't.
What I though if its about Mozilla we have to curse against Firefox. Don't we? Since when does what they do or the subject matters? The goal is to curse against Mozilla until Chrome has 99% of market share and the web is closed again. Did I get something wrong on the way?
iPad 2 owner here - did not get it for free. Sold it today. Had iOS 4.3.3 +JB, and iOS 5 up to beta 4 as a dev.
All in all it's a nice device, does what it says. Screen is ok, weight is ok, battery life is ok. But it's just not enough for me.
I could list all of it's short comings vs Android and there's quite a few, although it has its pros too. But at the end of the day I use it to play videos, sometimes a game or one of the few good apps (such as garageband) and that's that. I prefer to take my phone or the laptop for all other tasks, even reading news.
we'd like smartphones with good quality. that issue is rather obvious, one cant always have a DSLR in his backpack, in fact, rarely even have a backpack, but always have the tiny slim phone. its pretty similar for the audio world, that's why many people actually are using good quality headphones but dont have good speakers and seldom have good amps. That said some mobile audio devices have a really nice audio out.
Data is leaked on the web, if I want to expose a point of view on something and I don't want you to know for example, that I like to get drunk in my spare time, or watch porn, or whatever other possible scenario like that, and that I have to put my real name on all the sites, a simple search will reveal my porn account, my Google+ account, and probably some FB tagged pictures with my name (even without being part of FB).
With a different nickname every where you won't know anything about my porn, alcohol, w/e hobby.
In real life it is less of an issue because you generally can't get your hand on the private date (including names) without corrupting an employee or physically stealing stuff. Likewise for listings, most countries provide an opt out so that your name is not referenced and cannot be looked up (under the privacy laws, in fact). Rest of the time, if you're walking in the office with your name on your badge, that's fine - because the worse that could happen is that you get caugh drunk by someone who saw you before at the office - and human memory is not a permanent and searchable database. Still, if that person would talk about what he saw or picture it and spread it, it would be called violating your privacy.
In fact, in bordels, people often (or often used to) wear masks to protect their privacy - by being anonymous.
This is why you need anonymity if you want privacy, on the Net and actually for quite a few other non-Internet related things as well.
As you just pointed out, you do have privacy in the social network - at least, you do want it. So no, there's no oxymoron here, and you're contradicting yourself.
Privacy does not mean "secret to only you", it means you share with whoever you like and only those (and that can also be only you if you wish)
you can't protect privacy without some degree on anonymity on the internet. It does not matter that those words are not synonymous. If you want privacy, then you need your anonymity.
Of course that does not limit to that. I mean Google of course correlate your G+ data with your gmail data and your search data and your *web* data through analytics which is hosted on most sites, as well your documents, youtube, and what not. 20% of us also run their browser which calls home for good measure. And an increasing number run their operating system that does that too. They do have a very very extensive profile of most of us available and even if you're anonymous your privacy is certainly not respected there.
Eventually smartphones and other mobile devices WILL take over. It doesn't matter if they become like the asus transformer or not (its a tablet that becomes a laptop). What matters is that Firefox runs on it, and runs well (which is not the case yet).
You gotta realize that with the Smartphones outselling computers, if Mozilla doesn't get into mobile web browsers (and yes, Firefox mobile for Android needs A LOT OF WORK), then they won't have a say in the open web one day.
The things Mozilla work on are far from ridiculous as well. All these things have one point in common: they are made as a try to secure the open, free internet. That's what they do and that's what they always have aimed for.
Now then again I would like if Firefox issues would be fixed as well - although I don't mind the JS PDF, awesome bar, and new UI. Not caring for personalities either however.
My small latte is $3.50, of course, like I don't watch movies every day, I have a latte a week;-)
That said its true, many people spend $100 a month in starbuck and yell about a $30 a month streaming service. Heh, my country doesnt even have that and the coffee is more expensive.
No, not really, because you don't need a physical card for this. A digital key is fine!
It could be stored on a card too, for extra safety, but it's fine on a usb stick too, or just on your computer too. (that's what most people do with SSH and GPG keys for example, even thus it can work from a stick and from a card with a similar chip to creditcard [the ones with chips])
The reason we used simple passwords is just general lazyness I spose. It's simple and easy. It just doesn't scale and isn't very secure.
I'm agreeing to that too. I often say, as chip-based cards are pretty old (sorry - I won't include magnetic-band-based ones), that they got it right a long time ago, and noobs with internet and a computer missed the point. (the noobs in question being all of us). Now, we could do better, yet we don't, mostly locked in with bad ideas. I'm sure there are attempts here and there, but nothing concrete. Even Kerberos, which understood a good part of the issue itself, is not that widespread.
I agree. I am trying to pass this messages among the security folks I meet, and I am "one" myself. Well this is difficult. To many, security means password. It's that bad:-)
To me, password, digital key, etc is just one of the aspect of security - but I certainly would be happier if we got rid of the passwords. They're not secure, they're hard to remember, type, etc.
That said, since you need at least 2 factors of authentication to feel reasonably secure, and that there's not so much that is as versatile as passwords, I'd live with digital keys that are additionally encrypted and protected by password. The digital key then sign some keys that you can use for different services. Keys that you can revoke and regenerate at will (so you can rotate them every 7 days for example, with zero pain). You (almost) never have to change password and have only one. If the master key is compromise, of course, you've to redo all that. You might want to rotate the master key every 5 or 10 years I suppose!
Note: the master key password should be secure, however, even if it is not, it's not such a big deal anymore. The master key should eventually be taken great care of, having a separate physical pad and reader isn't out of the question (like the gpg cards). The master key can be protected by non-password means as well, but sometimes its hard to find the proper replacement.
There's a comment about VoltDB (is the whole thing a commercial thing for VoltDB? XD) Anyway, I looked up VoltDB and they provide additional software for a fee, software that is also distributed under the GPL v3. Wondering why they don't just offer it for free and only ask payment for the service. It's only a matter of time before the software is distributed freely otherwise.

yes, it would be quite useless otherwise
ssh -o VerifyHostKeyDNS=yes or put that in your .config or /etc/ssh/ssh_config
you can publish SSH over DNS right now.
And tomorrow, pig will fly. Sorry, but they love DRM and lock ins.

To be fair the iPad 2 also let you lock orientation device wide. In fact it let you bind the lock button for that task and its very handy.
