Gee, what a fanboi. It should simply not be possible to write a plugin not following the API - if it were, Firefox would be defective by design. And you know why (don't answer that rhetoric question)? Because the functionality of en-/disabling a plugin should only be available from within Firefox and not to any external apps or plugins and most certainly not be part of a well-documented API.
How is the Firefox team liable for something a 3rd party developer puts in their plugin? Isn't it up to the 3rd party developer to make the damned thing compatible?
If a 3rd party created a Firefox plugin that you can't turn off in Firefox, there sure as hell would be a bug or even a severe flaw in the design of the security sytem in Firefox. How can you claim anything else?
The big deal will be how Apple reacts. Specifically, if Apple intentionally cripples the Palm's unique functionality to create an artificial advantage for the iPhone.
It's very cumbersome and after a few tries with it, I've ended up just copying the music manually from the library to the phone with Finder. Using the Nokia way, it always feels like something could break down any minute.
That works with just about any device BTW, just drag and drop to the mounted drive. Funny that the same people complaining that you can't fill an iPod that way are the ones complaining that you can easily do that from iTunes.
"I;m unaware of any mass Christian movement to edit Wikipedia" - now you are of one. Now all you need to master is the English language. You == stupid != all Christians - I would hope.
Wait a sec, you are complaining that Apple is only supporting 20 players by other manufacturers and that the fact it doesn't support a player that isn't out yet is prove they are monopolistic? Fuck you.
That was the first real battle that Apple lost against the RIAA. Apple threatened to stop selling if the pricing went over 99 cents, but that bluff was called.
Wow, and you want more proof that Apple has a monopoly? [/sarcasm]
IP addresses don't identify people. They tell routers where to forward packets.
Can we please move beyond this 1980s idea that IP addresses identify people?
Well, they also identify where those packets come from. And for some strange reason a lot of edits posting COS in an unbelievably good light (including many removing valid criticism) do come from IP addresses registered to the COS.
Officials at the German Embassy in Washington said today that they had not heard of the asylum decision and would have no reaction until it was confirmed.
I'm not sure about that. I don't know a lot about Gates' role, but Jobs had absolutely nothing to do with almost all of those patents other than being CEO at the time they were submitted, and in most cases having the opportunity to torpedo the invention but choosing not to do so.
So why isn't his name on all Apple patents since he became CEO?
He should have paid more attention when he worked at Atari. Atari's computer line was superior and cheaper than Apple's offerings at the time.
You mean after Jack Tramiel bought the name and brought in engineers (and even that is debatable)? Or do you actually think the 400 was better than the Apple II?

No, if it's impossible to disable, the author of the plugin got some 'splainin to do...
And the Firefox team wouldn't? Or are you telling they would need the explanation for the obviously needed fix?
The big deal will be how Apple reacts. Specifically, if Apple intentionally cripples the Palm's unique functionality to create an artificial advantage for the iPhone.
So what will happen if Apple does Jack Shit?

Nobody can prove a negative - but you can' even prove a positive. You lose - you couldn't even work for FOX News.
"I;m unaware of any mass Christian movement to edit Wikipedia" - now you are of one. Now all you need to master is the English language. You == stupid != all Christians - I would hope.
You have no proof, so I'm not bright. Sure. You MUST work for FOX News, not Psystar.

So you would stop complaining if instead of not allowing edits from those IP addresses, they would simply undo all edits made from those IP addresses?
CIA and Vatican edit Wikipedia entries - and the CIA certainly is a mass Christian movement... ;-)

Not defending Scientology, but does Wikipedia not champion free speech?
Exactly - so why should they allow an orchestrated attack on free speech by COS? Free speech isn't about who yells the loudest.
Officials at the German Embassy in Washington said today that they had not heard of the asylum decision and would have no reaction until it was confirmed.
The claims made were of course completely bogus.
Since that hasn't happened, you must be projecting - again. No, wait, "again" is wrong, it should be "as always".
Actually its made of glass. Go ahead, make a staircase out of glass - then we'll talk.

Google for it Asshole. You know how to Google? Put the gun in your mouth and pull the trigger. You will see what you are full of.
GFI - again.
Yeah, I'll believe Psystar's site over every single word written on the issue by dozens of people. Shut up, WMF.
Yeah, I've seen them. This guy was using four dual-head internal cards though.
Which the Mac has supported before Linux even existed.
I haven't seen a Windows crash in any form in years.
Neither have I - just those unexplained reboots...
