It does? Looks like a mostly pointless document to me. Unless you mean the 4 minor "likely goals" listed that might be in 1.5, 2.0, or 3.0.
I'm a relative outsider to the ins and outs of Firefox (a KDE/Konqueror user), but that page sums up the project as a whole to me. They've gotten too big, too quickly, and can't really cope.
I'm inclined to the hope that any alien species sufficiently advanced enough to be space faring and catch the probe (and CD), would also be advanced enough to some day translate and understand the information. What I'm not inclined to is the hope that the CD will last that long! Damn things barely last 2-3 years on Earth, let alone the radiation in space.
I wouldn't, I live in the UK so have seen The Mighty Boosh stream, it's not worth the bandwidth or time. A realmedia radio streams at 44.1Kbps is "enough", 80Kbps for video is just plain unwatchable.
Personally I keep konqueror set to ask me everytime a site attempts to set a permenant cookie, and show me the details of it. If I want/don't mind a cookie, I accept it, if not buh-buh cookie (webtrends, ads, anything that allows the page to render (thus has come from an image/ad), etc -> bit bucket)
I have also done this for the machine my brother and mum use, and attempted to teach them why (although I don't know if they've turned it off).
everytime I login, I am asked different questions, each login is different and has worked exteremly well
Halifax do the same, but cahoots system is flawed in a different way than all multi-question systems are flawed.
Firstly, cahoots flaw, because it's funny. I've had a cahoot account for a long time, long before they changed to asking for 2 letters from an answer, entered from drop down boxes. The first time I tried to login with this new system, I could not, because the answer to the question they kept asking me had characters in it the drop down boxes didn't have! Why they couldn't just generate a list of all the characters in all the answers I don't know... Won't be doing any more business with them.
Second problem. A *long* time ago I thought I'd go look at a phishing attempt for Halifax. They've always had multiple questions/answers AFAIK. The phishing site was quite simple, they asked for the answer to all 3 standard questions on one page!
As at least one other poster has mentioned, the Finish (?) system, with random numbers on a card is the way forward. No question.
A subwoofer so powerful it could loosen fillings, shake out the cholesterol from arteries and generally make a lot of noise.
Just like many of the chavs who drive past my office every day. I'm about 250 yards from the road, and mini-roundabout they have to stop at. There are doubled glazed windows, and insulated timber walls between too. Some of these chavs have bass so loud and powerful, it physically hurts even when sat at my desk, or is low enough to give people headaches, or pop ear drums like when leaving a tunnel. Deathstar has nothing on these people, if you can call them people anymore... Zombies probably covers it better, what with their pickled brains and all.
NEVER seen an unreasonable speed limit anywhere in my travels
Never?!? On most of the motorway network in the UK it's perfectly safe to drive at 80, or oven 90MPH. You'll be lucky to see my doing less than 80. A fair few A roads (lots dual carriage ways, but many single carriage ways) are also safe at the same speed. Lots at +10MPH. Was at a wedding over the weekend in Blackpool, big tourist desination, so 30 speed limits everywhere. At gone midnight, stone cold sober, before the start of the summer season, 30 is *so* slow. What's worse the dual carriage way into and out is 40! If it wasn't in Blackpool it would be open A road, thus 70, so I drove it at 60 and saw 2 whole cars!
To look at this from the other side, speed limits too fast. B roads, rural country roads, have a statutory 60 limit, with lower limits at the behest of the local authority. You would not believe the number of stupidly tight and twisty roads, with no posted limit, that can barely be safely traversed at 40, with right angle corners it would be suicidal to take at anymore than 20. Oh, but the limit is 60, so it must be safe!
How about in 3" of snow, and sub-zero temperatures? Is 60MPH down that rural road safe now? Is that 20MPH limit in front of a school safe? How about when it's 3:30PM, and all the kiddies are going home?
Speed limits are, in many areas, stupid. Speed isn't dangerous, excessive speed for the road condition is. GPS speed limiters are dumb, they'll only leed to more accidents, as drivers lose interest in what they are doing. I've seen a test some TV program did a few years ago.
Same thing in Konqueror 3.3.2 and 3.4.1, except the javascript popup has the hostname of the site it came from in the title bar of both version, so konqueror is in fact not vunerable.
If I went back in time, and killed my mum, I wouldn't have been born to go back in time to kill my mum? So she wouldn't have died, leaving her to eventually give birth to me, for me to go back in time and kill her, preventing her from getting pregnant with me, meaning I would never have existed to go back and kill her?
The problem is legal, not technical. They ran ogg streams of a few radio shows and stations for quite sometime, but had to pull them in the end. It's not their fault, because unlike their news coverage (for example), the music they broadcast isn't their property. There is also the fact that the beeb doesn't work as one big company, different "divisions" have to pay other "divisions" for services.
I'd love to know what kinda crap their QA department is getting right now.
If they're anything like our QA department, nowt. As our QA department would have been told to "test it, so Marketing Manager can demo it to ABigSoftwareCompany tonight". or "test it, so we can release it this evening", both with no idea what said software is actually supposed to do.
Sounds like someone is bumping up the extra budget requirements, so that when congress argue and don't give the full request, they're free to actually cancel the projects they weren't really gonna do anyway.
In the article, Michael defines security as the (in)ability to access personal data. In that respect, he's probably right. But I think he oversimplifies the real question of allowing the users to run under the one account that could really screw up their machine.
He's probably more right than many are willing to believe, and/or accept. To your average user, if their account gets fucked, their machine is fucked. As geeks (windows, *nix, makes no odds), we can work around this and probably rescue things "easily".
He is still wrong though, as most obviously know (zombies).

... it will be bad enough for me to not be able to get one the instant I want one, so I won't get one at all.
It does?

I hope the document is just wildly out of date.
un-officially won't.
What ads?
Oh yeah, I added adzapper to squid, my bad.

... I'd pay someone else to do the work, then go "outside".
A more interesting question is, are they going to have 7 versions of Office too?
Doesn't do a damn thing to me, 1.0.6 on linux.
With a proxy I get squids error page, without I get a google search.

does this mean I can tust my computer now?

we've had a growing apart since it started cheating on me and got a virus
