Yeah, I see the problem, but I wonder if there's a way around it. I'm thinking some sort of analog encryption where you jumble the audio, rather than encrypting the digital stream. It may be less secure, and much more expensive. But if it's still an audio signal with the right frequency range, the provider can't really block it.
I'm quite pleased with it. Since the advent of FF 4, I don't really need any add-ons. And upgrading from 4 to 5 was seamless.
That being said, saying that a browser isn't suited for businesses is silly. With a little more thought, they could surely cover all their bases at once.
You're right, in an ideal world, all clocks should be quartz-controlled, and backed by WWVB or better.
On the other hand, when the power company promises to output exactly 60 Hz, and then one day changes their mind, who's to blame? The power company, or the people who trusted them?
I had a digital clock radio that kept time from the grid. I know because I ran it off of a UPS once, and it ran twice as fast due to the modified sine wave. So if one digital clock runs off of the grid, who's to say most of them don't?
Of course, the idea of keeping time from the grid goes against the idea of an internal battery backup... so you may be right.
My comment left something to be desired. Of course later versions are better (usually), but I was talking about the number itself, not the quality of the product. When I develop, I try to preserve version numbers, not exhaust them.
The measure extends the sales tax to online companies that have a presence in the state, including those that work with sister companies with offices in California.
Nothing wrong with that. That's the definition of sales tax.

Sounds like a fun project for someone with much more skill than myself.
Just don't screw FireFox up and I'll never have to switch to another browser ever again.

Yeah, I disagree with the statement, but I admire the balls.
The only thing easier about IE is that the releases are slower. Much, much, more difficult. But slower.

So close, yet so far.

That's how. The multi-mile range is impressive. But aside from that, I could build an entire "Internet" with a trip to the computer store.
Also, we can easily regulate voltage without help from the power company.

Does Chrome have an add-on interface? I recently tried version 10. It looked a lot like version 1. I found the same bugs, and had to go back to FF.

Sorry, I have no mod points. Yes, Chrome-like move, indeed. And IE, for that matter. When did we decide that higher version numbers are better?
Can I sell you some transparent aluminum?
I see your point, but a filesystem is a kernel feature, and much more integral to the OS than a browser.
I know, I just meant that if Fedora isn't considered stable, of course btrfs shouldn't be considered stable.
Well, give them 2 years. As far as I know, RHEL still doesn't have TRIM support.
Fedora isn't stable. It might work perfectly well, but the updates are too fast and many to be considered stable.
Um... here you... go?
Win.
Does this mean I have to wait for my flashlight to boot? What flavor of Linux does it run?

I played it on mute. It's quaint, but not very useful because of the window size.
It means too many people are using it for free, and Google is too stingy to allow that.
Got it - thanks. :)
