  1. Re:eh? on Firefox 3 RC1 Out Now · · Score: 1

    So, ...

    Did you investigate to find out which extensions might have been the culprit?

    File a bug in bugzilla.mozilla.org ?

    Contact the extension author?

    Whine on /. ?

    It's called the Mozilla Community for a reason. If you don't help out, who will?

  3. Uninstall then Install on Mozilla.org Relaunched · · Score: 1

    I have had no problems by using the simple method of uninstalling Firefox (or Mozilla) then installing into the same directory. To make sure you keep all of your plugins do not choose to delete the directory.

  4. DCMA implies CLOSED SOURCE on The Case For Full Disclosure In The Linux Changelog · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If the kernel change logs can be used to provide information to hackers that would result in criminal liability, does not the entire kernel source provide the same information?

    Doesn't that imply that the entire Linux Kernel Source should be closed and only Binaries provided?

    If Alan Cox is allowed to use Linux as his own political soapbox, then Linux itself is history. Where the hell is Linus?

  5. DocBook Resources on Alternatives To .DOC As Standard WP Format? · · Score: 3

    DocBook is your friend

    DocBook is a lot to digest at one time, but it is well worth the effort. Personally I prefer DocBook XML and use Norm Walsh's XSLT stylesheets to transform the XML to anything I want... HTML, PDF, whatever.

    Here are some resources for your reading pleasure.

    DocBook is Open Source, freely available on all platforms of interest, can be used for simple documents to complex books, separates presentation from content, and is extensible. What more could you want from a document format?
