I've never seen any of firefox's much publicized JS upgrades perform any better than previously. Why would it happen now? I think Firefox is doomed, Google is going to kill it (and by tossing money at it!, clever move), and impose Chrome in the long run.
I use firefox regularly and it's been so-so in terms of performance for years now, lock-ups and slow loading with several tabs or heavy sites are too common in my experience. It's annoying
Not just that, we're using technology that has only had 100 years of evolution, it's like looking for smoke signals, aliens are definetely not using this stuff!! this is what's so ridiculous about seti. Oh, and by the way, i don't know how it's now but the seti@home software used to suck big time: no binaries available with cpu-specific optimizations (which i compiled and verified that resulted in several times faster code) and no options to limit cpu use. Watch out, next news about seti is probably an iPhone app or some crap of that sort, heh..
I don't need more support for XYZ whatever. I need it to be stable and fast, right now it's sort of a Netscape 4, its bloated, slow, and hangs ocasionally. And no i'm not using tons of extensions.
Even a microwave oven, but it's weird it's lasting exactly 2 hours. Maybe some of your neighbours has some household "experiment" running (fusion reactor anyone?)
Arrange this with your neighbours: each one of you tries channel 1, 6 and 12, just to check that it affects all frequencies or just one.
Another thing you could try: get a directional antenna to try to find the source of the interference (if you point it towards the interference source you should get few or none aps when passively scanning -with kismet for example). Taking into account you have like 2 hours, you can triangulate an approximate location.
My thoughts exactly, but the clueless people they sell to don't pay attention to that. Torrent file-sharing in my router! whoo-hoo! let's buy this!. Overheating switches and wireless nics are very common... these products are made to last just 3 or 4 years at most, if they're not in a cold environment. Hell, most would even need fans and they don't even have heatsinks inside. And Linksys are good, other brands are just compact toasters waiting to fail at any minute.
For god's sake, if you want to map access points, you just need to look at 802.11 management frames. Keeping data packets is not only useless, it takes a lot of disk space. It was either intentional or unbelievably stupid (i'll let you guess which one...). TFA is a joke, you cannot infer essid (text ap name) from data, mac is useless, even if you do look at data packet headers, you don't need to log the data or look into them.
when the payment is getting ads shoved in our face in every page, let us complain. It's not like anyone, less so a big company, gives anything for free.
He isn't talking about you, clever guy. It's a fact that the average user will be tricked into choosing poorly or not at all, and that's their intention. The thing is they're not playing fair. The price tag is not hanging there for you to see, rather, it's concealed and kept away from you so you can't really know what you're actually giving up in payment.
They noticed from day one because it was intentional, there's no way they'd do it by accident (and for three years haha. They must think we're retarded.
You're right, there's NO WAY that was being done by accident. All that stuff takes space, you would obviously NOT log everything if you want to just log network names from beacon frames. Google FAIL.
hey hey, that it's temporary doesn't mean you want it wiped every time you reboot!! i don't know how prevalent it is now but php web servers used to store sessions on tmp, so, yeah it's temporary data, it doesn't hurt too much if it's lost, but you don't want users having to re-login just because your server rebooted do you?
I don't know if it's just coincidence, but i'm editing my profile to remove details right now and all of a sudden facebook is unavailable and takes several minutes to seem back online... It happens every time i remove details in my profile and try to save the changes.
And I also noticed i'm in a group ("help fight against lyme disease" wtf is that anyway?), that i've not joined. And no my account has not been hacked.
They're trying to find something that works besides online advertising. It's called not putting all your eggs in one basket... but it's not an easy thing to do, most businesses do have all the eggs in one basket. But so far Google's branching out is a FAIL. I'd keep trying too, though.
I'd guess at least some of their contracts at apple included at least one or two pretty strict clauses they can try to enforce as soon as they can prove what they're working on at Google.

no, actually this is apple's fix: bars += 2;
We have great moderators here dude. I always get -1 flamebait/troll/irrelevant/whatever Perma-bad karma
I think IBM just waited until Firefox was sluggish and bloated enough.
well thanks for repeating the same bs again. now, care to explain why?

payclick.com is a parked domain, and i can't find info on visa.com

yeah, except they did filter the data to keep the unencrypted stuff and dump the encrypted data.
yeah, right. they weren't forced to disclose it and play good guys since european authorities have an eye on them...
Because, obviously, they wanted to mine the data. wake up guys... this is no silly mistake!

Nobody checks the signatures. But yeah, somebody would eventually have noticed in 1.5 years and told the maintainers if they had signed the packages.

They call it "how to keep on pissing on their privacy and get away with it"
it was the ubuntu of the time. But at least it was based on Redhat. Then came that thing.. debian... argh...
