Some distros may be better than Windows, but not Ubuntu. It's a bloated buggy hog of a thing that is overkill on netbooks, and Windows will beat it everytime.
On the Wikipedia entry for blasphemy laws, it states Blasphemy is covered under sections 170 and 173 the Israeli penal code. It then redirects to a Hebrew site which I cannot read.
I translated the relevant sections however with Google, and 170 states that:
Destroying, damaging, or desecrating a place of worship, or any object held sacred crowd of people, deliberately degrade their religion, or knowingly that they may see this act an insult to their religion, Dino - three years imprisonment.
The key part there is deliberately degrade their religion. That seems like a rather abstract law, and something that insulting Judaism would be covered under.
173 states: (1)
Publishes advertising that injure blatantly religious beliefs or their feelings of others;
(2)
Makes a public place and in the hearing of a certain word or sound that may harm the faith or gross violation of religious feelings.
So yeah, distributing stuff about Judaism sucking is a no no. This would not have to be hate speech....simply a pamphlet stating why Judaism is false and should be avoided would also come under that law it seems like.
Not to mention the understandable yet unacceptable laws against holocaust denial. There is no excuse for banning ideas and opinions, however ignorant and misinformed they may be.
Lol. Just because he is from Israel, does not make him a reliable source for his countries laws. Critical thinking my friend, try it out one time. You may want to try reading this, which paints a less than stellar picture.
So if I go around saying judaism is fake and yahweh is a made up imaginary friend, perhaps with some anti-star of david propaganda I won't have a problem? Wrong.
As far as the browser is concerned, it's fucking awesome. I was initially very annoyed at the lack of status bar, but I am getting used to it. Indeed, all the functionality is at the top of the browser which means I don't have to scan to the bottom of the screen anymore. The thing missing are download progress. The main bug is the lack of easy download progress without having to have DM open, although this is being worked on.This won't stop people complaining because they are unable to adapt and realize the changes are better however.
Also, it's amazing just how much better their implementation of removing the status bar is then Chromes. Amazing.
The JavaScript improvement is magnificent. This is the first time I have ever been able to restore a session of about 10 slashdot pages each with over 500 comments all fully expanded, in less than 30 seconds. I guess this is because the JIT compiler cached the coder, and didn't have to interpret it for each page. As much as it seems like cheating, I can't disagree with the end result!
Good job Mozilla, continua leading the way and demonstrating just why you continue to hold the crown.
OK, downvoted twice with no response. Interesting. So the mods think it *is* just a technical problem? Or took offense to me pointing out the lack of sane regulation?
Many countries have different technologies and frequencies, but there are many phones capable of workign with all. As someone who travels between Asia, South America, Europe and Australia regularly I never have a problem, and each of these regions have different standards and frequencies.
The problem is the US, and a lack of sane regulation in the marketplace.
This won't do anything to convince all the people who believe that the NSA can zoom in and enhance bad quality photos to a 10000 times. Despite it not being possible, the government probably has secret technology. Sigh.
That a security research doesn't know better than this. Encryption with a PSK is useless as far as sidejacking is concerned. There is no decent client to client encryption unless you use WPA/2 Enterprise.
To suggest otherwise is bullshit, and he should be blaming the websites who are the problem.

I have never heard the phrase "cats ass" used in such a manner before. Kudos.

Bye bye karma.
I agree with everything you said except the ads being offensive. Using girls to sell domains may be many things, but offensive?
I just love it when you guys ignorantly summarize the US.
Can't believe this got modded troll when it is correct, and the people pointing out it is correct get modded troll.

What about holocaust denial?

Well...hamas would exist but be known as hamas
Firefox has a better extensions framework, better configurability, a better interface and better performance.
Why would you do that, when simply backspacing part of the url is so much simpler?
I refer to the editors when I say kids, as they are just as incompetent and should be treated as such.
They are reporting this over a day late after many people submitted it, while the story they chose linked to a shitty comptuerworld article. Not only that, they can't even manage there site properly with news.slashdot.org being broken for about an hour. Pathetic. Getting around it by replacing the URL with http://slashdotisincompetent.slashdot.org/story/10/11/12/037241/Firefox-4-Regains-Speed-Mojo-With-No-2-Placing works fine though

My country is going down the drain. I haven't been back in 2 and a half years, and the way things are going don't really want to.

No, advanced guessing is not the same as creating information out of nothing.

Why? 1:2 just describes what is mentioned in 1:1
I guess its funny from a certain perspective....below ground....
Was not XSS, but based on insecure session ID generation. http://samy.pl/phpwn
what a strange question...are you pissed of he didn't cite his source or what?
Please never refer to yourself as an editor. Ever.

There is no way in hell an operating system should bring a OS to its knees. If it does, that's a problem with the OS, or faulty hardware.
