Right, but how would Firefox know which plug-ins were affected by the vunerablity and which were not? DO the plug-ins only call the Firefox API, or do some of them hav their own API. For example, one of the extensions I use is Image Zoom. Was this extension affected by the JPEG vunerability? And if yes, will updating Firefox fix the vunerablity in the extension too?
I mean that firefox should (within reason) retain your previous plugins when you perform an upgrade.. It may do now.. havent upgraded in a while (since before they had pretty installers and such).. Of course if you have a plugin that relies on said vulnerability, the plugin no longer runs correctly.. but I think the chances of this are relatively slim.. I've actually been holding off upgrading because I hate trying to find and install all the plugins again (especially the good version of Adblock!!)..
I have done rollouts before where we have the users write their current passwords down for us on a sheet of paper left in front of the machine in an open building, 100+ users =D
Its not the nerds that complain about the pricing, for them price is no problem - it's usually the "richies" who buy a laptop "just because" and naturally everything should be free after you spend $1500 right?
Why is it that anything more than $5 or $10 is too much for anything to do with a computer these days?
Everyday I get customers come in and when you tell them it will cost them $100 AUD per hour for labour, or $300 for XP they scream blue murder.
"But my neighbours friends son told me it was just something cheap and blah blah blah..."
God forbid they are stupid enough to have no backups when their HDD dies, or a virus corrupts their filesystem. Sure, I can get it back your data but it will cost about $200 in labour.
"What do you mean I have to pay for it??"
IT work is just expected to be free, all because of that damn Billy kid down the street who "knows computers".
I don't think it has anything to do with intelligence, per se. I've seen an MD/PhD with an annual reseach grant total of $100 million struggle with this;
I don't see an MD/PhD as a measure of intelligence or common sense. I have seen too many university students to know better.
It is still possible to recover data from a physically damaged disk which will no longer work in a machine. Data can be obtained from the undamaged (or less damaged) portions of platter, which is usually still a lot of the disc, of course this requires MUCH more low level tools than overwriting with data. Best effort is 25 overwrites, combined with a large nail.
I believe the problem is that the journal still exists, after shredding the file content. Ie the file contents are shredded, but journalled entries for file creation still exist, thus unless you create the file while the fs is mounted as ext2, you still have the problem..
They use a CF style CONNECTOR, a few pins are not used. Basically they use it as a 44 pin IDE connector. If you try to put the drive in a CF->IDE interface it will fail miserably and or die.
wasn't win 3.1 16 bit? therefore it also couldnt run Win32 apps, until windows 95 was released at least.. of course i've been known to be wrong before =D
You will find that in most places around the world, excluding smallish places, such as B.C., and also Australia, Dell service is provided by Getronics. They cover most of the world, except the above two places. Thats not to say Unisys don't do some work other places, but Getronics gets a big cut first.
Are you new? Seems to me that restricting the port would be the sane method of preventing outside persons from exploiting your system. The same as any other service on any other port.

FYI, the laptops all have SODIMMS (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules)
But they have such a nice logo... it'd be a shame for that to go to waste...
That's a load of nonsense :)

That's a very very interesting question

or do you make the upgrade keep your settings, and keep the plugin format backwards compatible?
In addition to the history of time, I also control style.

pls to use something non cutting edge than kthx
I got it, and I believe you have my stapler.

dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb conv=noerror
the ,8 was to use the disk device (IIRC) and the ,1 was to use the printer device.. the ,1 wasn't needed if you didnt have a printer..
wasn't win 3.1 16 bit? therefore it also couldnt run Win32 apps, until windows 95 was released at least..
of course i've been known to be wrong before =D

Yeah I wish....CDs are about $35AU here. Thats about $70US. :)
No, it's about $18 US here. Seeing as 1AUD buys 0.61USD, not vice versa
Now everything is soldered, and if it isn't soldered it uses a tight connector that requires forces measured in kilograms to remove.
But force isn't measured in kilograms, it's measured in newtons!
pls to check your post before to submit kthx!
If the board is breaking harddrives. I say get a PCI IDE controller and stop using the onboard IDE controller.
Don't be silly! You aren't allowed to use logic!!
