0.9 is their feature-freeze version. So they're not really adding any features to speak of. Possibly pretty little colors and different keystrokes, but it's essentially the same.
So I think it's as stable or more stable than previous versions. There IS that 0.0001% chance though. SHAME on them.
Look at the older extensions and hit the guy up for the source code. Or kidnap his family and make him make you the plugin for v1.0.
It was called Enhanced Tab Browsing or something like that.
It isn't responsibility of the Firefox developers to update all plugins, since they are unsupported by mozilla.org. Any plugin they choose to endorse they pretty much have to provide support for.
But find out where to request features, and request the heck out of it.
A SCSI-enabled kernel >=2.6.8 should support SATA. I was running a patched kernel 2.6.7 for a while and just upgraded to the 2.6.8 mm kernel.
I would reccomend using Arch Linux, which will download the kernel on install. You may have to build your own boot CD, though, or wait for the 0.7 install CD to become stable (it's currently in testing)
Debian is kind of a bitch to install. Probably not on all computers, or when you have a clue what you're doing, but it scared me off linux at first.
Mandrake, Suse, and RH have a user-friendly windowsy feel to them (this is, in fact, an article about migrating from windows). Suse and RH have loads of money invested in making their operating system easy to use for their paying customers, and it trickles down to the the cheap bastards who will spend the time to download the software.
Debian has no such drive to have "easy" be right at the top of their list. I adore Debian, it's just a colicky child when placed aside M, S, and RH.
Marketing is about playing off stereotypes and prejudices commonly accepted in a given society. It plays off fear and descrimination. Like when when the negro/hairy hick is scared off in the home alarm commercial. Yay!
I got a vacuum cleaner yesterday, and what I learned from the pictures on the box:
1.- The bagless design is so simple, a middle-aged man in a dress shirt can clean it!
2.- It's so light, a middle-aged woman can carry it down a flight of steps!
It's a gender-role busting mega machine, my vacuum cleaner is!
I always assume others are more stupid than I am as well. Not in any sort of malicious way, it just helps smooth out social interaction.
I also don't necessarily think intelligent is the best thing to be. Try happy, or wise.
My point, from which I diverged wildly, is what would happen if you and I met? Would we both walk away smugly, happy that we are each smarter than that prick who we just talked to?
This virus allows any malcontent nerd to independently and intentionally DoS SCO. Anyone could claim it was the virus, and there will be too many cases to look into. Here's something from symantec.com, and it sounds pretty easy to replicate to me:
4. Attempts to perform a DoS attack against www.sco.com by creating 64 threads that send GET requests and use a direct connection to port 80.
Note: The DoS is active between February 1, 2004 and February 12, 2004.
Don't patents only cover specific implementations of a solution? There are many different water filtering systems patented. Wouldn't that mean that any software patent would have to at least go to the level of say, classes in vb? It would seem it would have to spell out every single step taken by the program to get something done.
Module A gets a list of xml files in the directory and determines which are new. Loops a function to pass xml files one by one to module B Module B parses for needed info (name, ph #, etc) and inserts it into database.
And so on.

I don't think the sharing a common word to describe your political ideology necessarily makes people natural allies.
I'm not refuting anything you say other than that one point. China is a humongous human rights violation. Which is not the foremost thing on most socialist agendas.
The descriptor "socialist" only covers a minute sliver of the whole shebang. "Murders people with sticks" is a relevant issue as well.
I never RTFA, and you may have this time. But RTF Part of the article where he says he's trying to force their hand and block them out, ruining their case that they have no control over their network.
I've spent lots of my life removed from the city, and I can feel electricity. I don't know the exact effect on health, but it is stressful. There's always a humming even if you turn off all the lights.
I have always believed that being around so much electricity has to be bad for you. I think if you leave out all theological discussion, it's pretty indisputable that we all have an electromagnetic field that is essential to our lives. So who knows what being around such strong fields 24/7 does to you.
I feel the notion that they could support children using their product inappropriately bunk when they are trying to sell to adults.
Like alcohol. Do people let their children buy alcohol? Are we angry at Wyborowa Vodka? The retailers and the parents can keep it out of the hands of the children, and the manufacturer to limited degree.
And quit saying they support child prostitution. Yahoo chat supports prostitution. You can even find links to escort services searching on Yahoo. I think it might be prudent to say the Internet supports child prostitution.
I would like to see a gameplay server set up with a sister website where players could try others and then assemble and vote for or against the defendant.
That would be awesome. You could also do hacker hunts.
"To try a hacker we block his IP. If he never comes back, then he was innocent"
I would say that there's no reason to be angry really, since they have a product they obviously designed for adults and choose not to market it to your daughter.
Now that's kind of sad if there's no acceptable alternative, but considering it's a free marketplace I don't know why people in general get so upset about companies within whose demographic they aren't. I'm just saying that while it's perfectly fine for you not to support them, it's perfectly fine for them not to support you.
So to speak. Don't give them your money. I haven't.

Here's an excerpt from the page you linked to:
2. To send (a message) indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups.
Um.... email who? What about spamming google, or spamming a bbs, or spamming yo' mama?
IMHO! IMHO!
I've NEVER been this on the ball! Thank god for RSS feeds!

Well, I scan my manuscript letters and email them. One must keep up with the times.
He's in his 3rd week of applied ethics at college I think.
But, kudos anyway.
Anything to take my mind off Ivan, I guess.
It's coming right for us!!!!

Superman wouldn't fly to Krypton, he wouldn't be able to land. Or take off.
It would suck. Like a black hole, I mean.

Kids in the Hall, anyone?
One way to make this work would be to charge 2 dollars for the movie, but charge a $5 deposit on the plastic casing and media.
That way, they send you 5 dollars back in the mail, and recycle the plastic. It seems like the only way to implement this idea and not have it fail.
