  1. Still does not accept certificates /auto login on Three New Releases (And Other News) From Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Hey all,

    Just wanted to throw in my .10. I have been using firebird for a hwile now and like it a lot, but have not been able to get certificates working.

    This version finally has a certificate importer and supports autologins, but will only import pk10 certs which I can not get xp to export my existing cert as.

    Has anyone been able to get this feature running? I hate to say it but if I lose my auto login I'm going to have to think about going back to (shudder) IE.

    Fair enough but does the 500 people represent his entire district. Some how I don't think so. Which means he is doing it because someone is lining his pockets, or he has some other justification.
    But you are right he has the ability to make that decision for his district, thats why he was elected into that position. But the voters also have the right to pull his sorry ass out next time election roles around and they are STILL being annoyed by telemarketers.

    Unfortionatly thats the kind of circular logic that shouldn't be used in these situations. Unfortionatly they are because law enforcement officers get to make some descretionary decisions & sometimes you get the wrong end of the stick. I'm sorry to hear you have been burned in situations like this, sometimes judges will reverse these things but it all depends. I understand though your pain trust me since I have been profiled even though I am white. Yes you read that right! I had cops pull me over & justify a seach on the basis of a bumper sticker. I was in the navy at the time had a clean hair cut and told him he didn't have anything on me. He insisted on asking a million and one questions & finally searched the car.

    I have been asked and said yes and also said no. Both came out resonable for the situation. One I was holding and talked the officer into some leanency since it was so little and I was obviously not being a problem to anyone, the other I told them hell no and made them work for nothing but a expired expection sticker ticket that they had me one in the first place (when really it was a bumper sticker I had, but hey). All I want is for you to realize you have the choice. If you choose to pass it on or let officers take it from you because you don't speak up then that is your choice.

    Ahh the Scotty Managment Style... I always got a laugh from that line.

    Seriously though there is alot of good advice to which I would only add one more. If it is possible sit down one afternoon and define a trouble call system. Set the prioritys for each task, assign them a ticket number and before you leave the office or hang up the phone let the person know where they fall in that line and when they can expect service.
    This is the type of system used on big Navy ships with as many shos as you have users. Although not perfect, a defined system provides the user a realistic expectation when work is going to be done. It gives them a means to reference back to the job if there is more work or something changes before the work is applied. And will help you assign tasks with out feeling your always rushing around. That coupled with a task planner and the white board should give you some better direction to prioritize your job.
    It's been said but : DON'T OVER BOOK!!

    From what I understand when there is a drug offense in a household the authorities have the ability to confiscate computers to determine if they have been involved & used illegaly in the drug case. Now there isn't confiscation laws on the books yet for file sharing but I was expanding on the punishments the drug war has developed to enforce morality.
