I let FF handle its own updates. Go to getfirefox.com, grab the tarball it feeds you, remove the package you currently have installed and unpack the tarball somewhere sensible - like/usr/local/lib/firefox. Add a symlink to the binary in/usr/local/bin and you're set for life.
Weirdly, I have recently run into the inverse of this problem: out-of-date server-side code at my bank demanding that I that my FF 3.0.1 browser to the latest version with a "Get Firefox Now!" button. Funny!
"Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars then anything else in the history of creation."
The value of Mercury-based real estate has sky-rocketed today, as evil geniuses the world over vie for the best plots on what seems likely to become the solar systems new secret evil lair 'hot spot'.
Adding to the difficulty, the contest requires that mugs be dropped on their sides. But the sacrificial bomb -- which weighs more than the mug on top -- and gravity take care of that, Price said.
Heavy things fall just as fast as light things, thankyou very much.:) (Add some air resistance into that mix and everybody's happy!)
I'm so happy for the GEO600 crew if they are in fact getting close! I've
actually seen the facility - pretty amazing stuff and a very good example
of how far you can push things using much brain and relatively little dollar.
For example, the article didn't mention this but the arms of the interferometer
do not intersect at quite 90deg due to the fact that the arms are built along
the borders of farm plots..
As for filtering out noise, they filter out everything above and below particular
frequencies. It's all extremely sensitive work and I'm glad somebody else is
doing it!
I realise this point has already been made, but for those of you geeks out there who don't climb (huh??:] ), here's a page outlining how spring-loaded camming devices (SLCDs, cams, friends, etc) work. These things completely revolutionised the sport, protecting routes that were previously impossible to protect, making it possible to climb extremely daunting crack lines without completely losing your sanity.
To the wrestler who thought otherwise - technology has not taken the sport out of this game; it has significantly raised the stakes of what is possible.
This is an extremely cruel thing to do. The telemarketers themselves are usually there because they need to eat - not because they actually personally want to screw you over.
Try a polite, "Thanks, but I'm not interested," and find another outlet for your peurile temper tantrums.

Gibson touched on this issue (the diminishing temporal correlation between artists and their fan-base) in his 1996 novel, Idoru.
