Besides some vague mumblings about "potential" exploits, I didn't see any evidence in the article of deleterious effects caused by those browsers "crashing".
That's not his job. If you don't like Mozilla crashing, then go fix it.
It's better to have the browser fail than to have it keep running with a possible exploit.
Better, but never good. It's best to check your buffers, complain on invalid input, and abort scripts that do stupid things.
So what you are saying is that you prefer a negative end-user experience? That, and you'd like to close a dialog for basically every page you visit?
This is the sort of thing that status bars are made for. Stick a yellow ! and a message on the bottom of the window and bar further messages for that page.
Without those, and in a market used to getting software for free, the prospects can't look good...
I've got news for you - home users usually don't pay for software either. They get whatever came with the computer and copy other apps from their buds. It's the businesses that pay for software (bigger target, natch).
Why would greenpeace care about people mining asteroids?
The GP is just vectoring the story where a comedian asked an environmental activist whether they opposed mining on the moon. The activist responded with some blather about the delicate ecosystem up there.
It is almost impossible to find quality employees these days.
Perhaps if HR departments went looking for quality employees instead of warm bodies that can fill a checklist, then you'd get quality employees. It also wouldn't hurt if, when you need some hot new skill, you got your internal guys to pick it up instead of immediately looking for a new guy that has it.
Don't know about the rest of the country, but in New York, the most stolen car for the past dozen years or so has been either the Honda Accord or the Toyota Camry. Certainy plenty of BMWs and Audis around these parts.
That's because of the demand for spare parts - more people buy honda parts than beemer parts.
I don't get you people who consider the war on drugs a failure. What exactly are you proposing as an alternative? That the government stop trying to keep heroin, crack, PCP, and crystal methamphetamine off the streets? Should they instead focus those police resources on real criminals? Is that what you're saying?
Crack and Crystal Meth are products of the war on drugs. Crack is a way to sell cocaine more cheaply, and Meth can be made from drugstore ingredients. Stop the war and perhaps people will use the safer stuff?
I would strongly encourage you to do a little research into the root causes of most crime. They are, in no particular order, drugs, alcohol, and lack of money.
Why are drugs expensive? Because they're illegal. When you can fund your habit on a McJob, why would you knock over a convenience store?
HOW DARE THEY remove Uncle Saddam's Utopia and the Uncle Osama's paradise and replace them with eeevil capatalistic and prosperous liberal democracies! They've ruin those countries just like they ruined Japan, Germany and South Korea (luckily Uncle Kim's Eden has thus far survived).
Do tell, where are these prosperous liberal democracies? All I see so far is chaos and confusion.
Afghanistan today: Most of the people are feeling optimistic about their future after decades of war and oppression. First person to vote in the first ever democratic elections was a 19 year old woman.
That's the official line. What I've heard is that people are afraid to vote, as they expect to be killed for cooperating with the americans, Opium production is something like 70% of the world supply, and the fundie religous types (like the Taliban) are gaining power again. Call me when they're sovereign and at least halfway friendly.
If you've ever met a real cocaine or heroin addict (there is no such thing as a casual cocaine/heroin "user", only "addicts")
This I doubt. I've seen a lot of studies that show cocaine users as being mostly casual (including our prezodent, so the rumours go), with a smaller core of hardcore addicts.
At any rate, the current witchhunt isn't helping anybody. If it were cheapa to get, then at least the addicts could blow their brains out in peace instead of dying in police raids, hanging out in prisons getting cornholed and robbing people for their next fix. Yeah, that's cold, but it makes sense from a least-harm perspective. Maybe you don't need to legalize Cocaine all the way, but it doesn't need to be this illegal - make it a $100 fine for possession and sell it at the pharmacy to addicts with a script for $2/gram. That way I don't have to worry about the DEA serving a warrant on the wrong house.
The worst I've ever had was food services. I never want to work with food ever again.
Amen, brutha.
I worked in a shoney's for about a year. I hate church people - they come in, dressed up in their church clothes, screaming kids in tow, get a pile of food from the salad bar, eat half, then leave a lousy tip. Then I get to clean up plate after plate of greasy eggs.
Is this the same reason that Apple died when competing agains the IBM PC compatible.... oh wait...
You mean to say that Apple restricted who was allowed to write apps for their computer?

Plus we got other people outside our department looking at our code.
Nobody looks at my code. I send out prelim designs and get no response. I fear, however, that this is how most code shops operate.
What's easier? Hacking into a system and then trying to decrypt the password file or tricking some cluebie into giving it to you?
From a strict business perspective, phishing has a far better return on effort than actually trying to crack a website.

When you hire a busload of kiddies to code a mission critical app, you deserve what you get.

Just wait till we have to deal with greanpeice blocking the launch of ships designed to mine the asteroids...
So long as it's the second or third launch, we can just drop some rocks on them.

Wouldn't the cops just sit outside pharmacies then?
Naw, they don't arrest you for possession of Percoset with a script, do they?
So what your'e saying is it was no worse than an election in Chicago ?
To put it another way, it was slightly better than a Florida election.
And yet the US is blamed for "fucking things up".
How about blaming the US for not fixing things while at the same time claiming to have done so?
who would you want to please more? The guy who pays 1% of your paycheck or the guy who pays 20% of your paycheck?
I'll take the first guy, because the second guy offers me 20%, then changes it to 10% the day before payday.
It seems that theer is a large enough market for these censored CDs that they turn a profit on them.
I doubt that. If these CDs were actually upfront about being censored, that would be fine, but they're not.

India has always struck me as a bizarre place: one of the poorest places in the world and yet they still feel they can afford to have nukes.
Just like all those guys on welfare driving around in Escalades.
India is really big and has over a billion people! Some areas are advanced, but most are every bit a third world country.
