FrontMotion make Firefox Packager. You can use choose a Firefox version, a language and up to ten extensions. Press a button and in a few minutes you can download your customized MSI package ready for deployment.
FirefoxADM is a way of allowing centrally managed locked and/or default settings in Firefox via Group Policy and Administrative Templates in Active Directory.
For restricting users from adding unsupported add-ons, do the following.
1. Restrict Firefox (using FirefoxADM and GPO) to using only digitally signed add-ons. 2. Get, or make, a corporate code-signing key. 3. Sign the.xpi files of your tested and approved add-ons. 4. Make them available on your intranet.
If users claim they can't live without other extensions, have them use your software approval policy and procedures for getting that add-on approved.
The only add-on I "can't live without" is AdBlock Plus. I consider it a security feature, blocking drive-by malware from various 3rd-party banner ads.
Precedent jokes aside, the answer to your question is "none".
As Microsoft controlled accounts (@hotmail and @msn) were being affected, either as sources or targets of the illegal activity, MS was an injured party and thus had standing to sue and seek redress.
They (obviously) presented enough evidence to a court to get a temporary restraining order. That order -- a government order, not a private company one -- was served to Verisign who handled the domains. Verisign complied with a legal order to temporarily lock the domains, preventing ongoing harm.
Verisign probably notified the customers of record of the action -- after the action, of course. Since it was in compliance with a legal order, the defendants are free to have their lawyers contact the court and present evidence that the domain lock harms their business and they were wrongfully accused. If they can convince a judge, they will order Verisign to remove the lock.
Either way, the case can proceed and the entire thing can be hashed out legally.
Not really. I've recently worked for/with a couple of large companies (100,000+ employees) that still included IE6 on XP SP 3 to support some legacy apps. They *ALSO* included Firefox -- or a link to download it internally -- for everything else.
I've seen very few places in the last couple of years that mandated IE6 and IE6 ONLY.
Wow, a neo-communist troll. I haven't seen one of those post under their own name in a while.
Does your eminent domain takeover suggestion include paying the company back for the decade or so of research, development, testing and associated costs? What about future improvements, infrastructure investment, r&d, etc.?
Go into "help & preferences" and then "Classic Design". Check "Use Classic Index", "Simple Design", "Low Bandwidth" and "No Icons". You also have the option to "Turn Off Tags". It makes things a lot faster and easy on small-screen devices. It also helps on normal systems. Lots of the cruft just goes away.
Supported by XBMC under Windows, Linux and OS X. Cost $49 at that site, under "accessories, adapters". I just ordered one and will put it thru its paces on my Asus EEE 901 soon.
There are plenty of cases of organizations and even COUNTRIES being sued in the U.S. civil court system by individual plaintiffs. If the individuals win, the courts will attach any assets that are, or later enter, the U.S. There are even cases where the U.S. courts petition foreign banks to freeze assets held in foreign countries. And yes, sometimes it really works.
As long as the Chinese CA only deals with China, I have no problems with it.
And you know that, how?
With built-in root certificates, they are automatically trusted. Unless you're examining the entire cert chain of every SSL/TLS site you access, you have no idea which trusted root signed the vendor's certificate.
This all began in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, in 1936. The Leather Goddesses of Phobos are just finalizing their plans for the invasion of Earth. People have been abducted by the Leather Goddesses for the final testing of the plan which will enslave all of humanity. Unless this nefarious plan is stopped, the Earth will be turned into these twisted vixens' pleasure dome. For some unknown reason, this outcome is considered unfavorable.
Co-locate your equipment at a carrier-grade data center in the nearest major city to your location and get a leased line to your premises. A decent data center will have proper battery backup and generators and know how to handle it. They'll also have the time and manpower to do proper tests, etc.
No, he meant that as an actual offering to the Perl God, Quetzal$@[&shift]L. It's a bloodthirsty god, who never sends the Divine Debugger without at least two pints of the red stuff. I would have immolated a coworker, but the parent poster seems to have been alone in the room:-/
The fact the above comment is +5 Informative and not +5 Funny makes me very glad I stopped programming in Perl when I did.
About 80 percent of APT attacks use custom malware, Mandia says. "We recently took over 1,800 programs we've collected since 2008 that are all part of APT... and ran it through AV, and only 24 percent of the malware triggered antivirus," he says. "Over a year ago, none of it was triggering AV."
Signature-based anti-virus scanning isn't going to help. That model is broken and only useful for the "AOL mindset" of the general public. That is, the people who go "ohhhh, SHINY. [click]" and get infected by year-old malware.
Serious pressure on software vendors to make sure their app doesn't need admin rights to run on a Windows box would be a nice step.
You missed my meaning. Google would be just as happy with Firefox succeeding as with Chrome. Their purpose is a faster, more capable Internet experience. Whether that is with Chrome, or with Firefox, or even IE, they don't care as long as the speed and capabilities are there.
All browsers lead to Google, which is their core purpose.

it's a lesson in motion, partially elastic colisions and pendular motion.
And you chose monkeys over jiggling boobies for this? Your class obviously needs a few more coeds.
So, is THIS what Apple was suing HTC over at the International Trade Commission? Does Apple have a patent on preloaded malware on smartphones?

Narus' entire customer base is pretty much government & law enforcement. Narus Insight is the toy used by the NSA to sniff Internet traffic.
LTO tape, properly stored, will outlast burned optical media and hard drives. Great stuff and designed specifically for what you're talking about.

Understandable. IBM dealt with them, too. Oh, and they had contacts in the Bush family as well. I believe W's grand daddy knew a few.

This is the way it is supposed to happen.

Profit has a purpose and is a GOOD thing.
There is an easier way that that.

I'm posting this from my new N900 now.
This isn't evil.
Evil would be if the code was FOSS and someone else released a fork and Google threatened or sued them.
Evil would be if someone wrote a similar app and Google threatened or sued over copyright or general "IP".
And to get rid of those unsightly stutters, free up a slot and install a dedicated co-processor.

No, it means most cellphone IP addresses are NAT -- usually in the 10.x.x.x range.
