Mozilla fixed the flaw, along with other more serious bugs, with the release of Firefox 2.0.0.12 on 7 February. Opera, which is yet to plug the moderate risk flaw, objected to the Mozilla team publishing an advisory on the issue. Claudio Santambrogio, an Opera desktop developer, said the Mozilla team notified it of a security issue only a day before publishing an advisory.
Opera was notified the day before the February 7 release - that would be February 6. Today is February 18. Is that not 12 days?
Is it just sexually? What about blood transfusions? What about sharing needles?
Hello, I'm the summary. You can find me at the top of the page. Please read me:

g2p? My work filter flags it as a social engineering site and denies access... never heard of it before.
Never heard of it, either.
Here's what it says:
What does G2P do? -G2P (Google to Person) uses some crafty Google searches to help locate open directories or otherwise shared files. These searches are nothing secret (In fact, take a look at the results, so you can see how it is done. However, it is much easier to remember g2p.org than these complex searches. Really I put this site together to make it easier on me, and then shared it with you.
Why use G2P instead of P2P or BT? -P2P/BT is being monitored -- Using Google we can download a lot more safely. We are simply just following a link -- curious how it leads directly to the file we are looking for. =)
If so, then note that Microsoft uses (tm) and not (r) - because it hasn't been successfully registered.

OEM versions of Windows are WAY WAY cheaper than $200, you know? (which is what Apple would be paying for the OS if it came pre-installed)
If I recall correctly, Microsoft provides support for off-the-shelf Windows sales, but OEMs for Windows must provide the tech support - Microsoft doesn't. I'm sure Apple doesn't want to take that on.
i'll sign up as soon as I can forgo the DVD delivery option. I used to use Zip.Ca (Basically netflix for Canada), but cancelled after too many movies got lost in the mail.
Don't know about other services, but with Netflix, if you don't want them to mail any DVDs, just don't add any to your queue.
If you are defending the system, maybe you can tell me why the safe speed for any road never varies with time or weather
In California, safe speed does vary with weather: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/hdbk/pgs19thru22.htm#speedlimits
California has a "Basic Speed Law." This law means you may never drive faster than is safe for current conditions. For example, if you are driving 45 mph in a 55 mph speed zone during a dense fog, you could be cited for driving "too fast for conditions." Maybe you should get your government to enact something similar?
No, but having a supported browser is a model that I would love to have. If I could pay $30/seat/year for Mozilla and have technical support available, I'd pay it in a heartbeat
The Biggest Lie of the MPAA (and RIAA) is that every download equates to a lost sale, or a percentage of a lost sale. I'd love for him to have to explain how he can truly justify that position.
Someone will only download something because they want it. If they want it then it has some value to them. If it has value to them then they would be willing to pay for it if it were not free.
I can spend $40/month for basic cable, which only gets me my already free over-the-air channels, 10 local public access channels, and 2 or 3 nation-wide basic cable channels (like WGN, CSPAN, and TNT).
I don't watch any of those additional channels, so what's the point?
If everything you watch is available OTA, then why do you subscribe to cable TV?

Many planes also have multiple sets of doors, so that would speed it up even more in exchange for a modest investment in jet ways.

Maybe. Did they have to pay Toshiba for HD-DVD?

Currently only Windows is supported

Following the "support" links from mozilla.org, leads to this:

Looks like the advertised model is per-incident. But, maybe you can negotiate with them for some sort of blanket support based on a per-seat fee.

How is this different from being allowed to tap someone's phone or plant a bug? As long as warrants are involved [...]
With a warrant you have court approval. This is being done because the court did not grant approval.
From the summary:
The action comes in response to a court denying prosecutors' requests to break into suspects' computers over the Internet.
