  1. Re:Firefox, Please Tame Your Memory Hunger on Firefox Plans Mass Marketing Drive · · Score: 1

    Indeed. It's rather annoying, that I have to close Firefox after a whole day at work while leaving all other programs running over night.

    For your tabs, there's an extension which saves your tabs (or other stuff) when you close Firefox and reopens all of them when you start it up again: SessionSaver.

  2. Re:Yeah but will it compensate for this? on Firefox Plans Mass Marketing Drive · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I've seen a crashing Firefox too recently, but most of the time, a plugin was directly involved while loading the page (Java, for example). I must say though, that a plugin shouldn'be able to crash Firefox itself, although it does. Couldn't firefox load the plugin somehow in an new thread which can die anytime it wants?

    Limewire? Not really anymore. But there's always another gnutella client out there.

    I thought the point about the black helicopters was, that they're able to move without making any noise at all...

  9. Re:"A" Linux Operating System? on Unreliable Linux Dumped from Crest Electronics · · Score: 1

    Of course a self made script has endless features if added :) Well ab can do concurrent requests and output very nice statistics, in case you're in for some real figures not only the load on the test machine itself :)

    I have 10-20 wget shell scripts beating the webserver continuously

  11. Re:the click wheel on Behind The Development Of The iPod nano · · Score: 1

    no tactile feedback at all

    Yes it does now. The nano click wheel at least comes with a click on the internal soundchip or in the headphones after the you scrolled down one entry up or down in the list.

  12. Re:Ipods and linux on Behind The Development Of The iPod nano · · Score: 1

    I installed gtkpod 0.94 via yum from dries on a fresh Fedora Core 4 installation and could browse the new nano. Synching failes most of the time as gtkpod 0.94 has a bug in handling music directories. It's already fixed in CVS which I intend to check out later today.

  13. Re:Screenshot of setting Gaim to use Google Talk on Google, Skype and the Future of IM · · Score: 1

    Instead of a shameless plug, you could have linked to the Google Talk Support Article about Gaim itself.

  14. Re:Huh? Not all of these... on The "Google Hack" Honeypot · · Score: 4, Insightful

    From squirrelmail.org: Several cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilties have been discovered in SquirrelMail versions 1.4.0 - 1.4.4.

    I assume, that's the reason for the 1.4.4 login screen at their demo page.

  17. Re:copyright on PetaBox: Big Storage in Small Boxes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The Internat Archive is fucking up big time with their robots.txt stuff. If you exclude a site from beeing shown, it doesn't show anything, correct. But: If this site goes offline, the archived pages of that former site are all available, not blocked at all.

  18. Re:Google's Merits on First Google Maps Hack Takedown · · Score: 1

    For your very own (desktop wallpaper) personal use, this should be fine, or isn't even this case allowed? Can't I print out a google map and cut it in half and post it to my monitor? So why can't I stich two maps and post it on my desktop... strange. Just do not publish it.

    If your BitTorrent client uploads the content (or chunks of it) you're downloading, it's most likely that you violate copyright laws. Some people can live with that, some not.
