    first, since that update wnt out over windows update, this one should too.

    or perhaps just not install it in the first place, thats also a perfectly good option. submit it to mozilla to present in the addons section. you know, like nearly ever addon out there.

    but hey, if you want to excuse their behavior, go right ahead.

  8. Re:It'd be nice to see SSL on all web sites on Build an Open Source SSL Accelerator · · Score: 1

    if you dig into that a little youll realize that the necessary TLS extension isnt officially part of apache yet, and even IE7 on XP doesnt support it.

    effectively, at this point, for the vast majority if the internet it is not supported. which is a shame, because id love to use it right now on a project im working on.

  9. Re:A.C. on Slashdot Mentioned In Virginia Terrorism Report · · Score: 3, Informative

    i think what they are trying to imply is that the group coalesces around the named sites for communication and organization.

  24. Re:"Muddy the crispness"? on Grey Lines Mar MacBook Air Displays · · Score: 1

    no, they dont. thats the sick part. all that junk they push on you, and the only people getting anything close to 'commission' are the managers and to a lesser degree department supervisiors. they get monthly bonuses based on revenue, but no commission at all.

    so all that pushing they do is just dedication to do what the company says. you know who else did that?

  25. Re:USB is a *fucking standard* on Apple DMCAs iPodHash Project · · Score: 1

    that doesnt address either of the major points:

    battery life
    early days of the dock connector when none of this existed.

    the minidisc has additional pin connectors next to the audio jack for transmitting data - more proprietary connectors.
