No, what you know are users that should be using ssh but don't understand why plaintext passwords are a problem. Everyone has a need for better security, most just don't know they're not secure to begin with.
Don't confuse small numbers with poor release performance. The underlying Mozilla code is from the 1.2 branch. You're running Mozilla 1.2 in a new (and fresh?) way.
Fewer and fewer of the latest titles will run on a PC.
It seems to me that this is no different than the consoles. If you don't own both a PS2 and an X-Box, then you're going to miss out on a lot of good games. Personally, I can't see dropping that kind of cash just for gaming.
Good call on the specifics. I believe you are correct. My original point was, though, to point out that just because it says "0.1" doesn't mean the underlying code is 0.1 quality.
I guess I assumed from their roadmap page that states:
Because we're working from the stable base provided by the mature Mozilla trunk
it was an indication of released code only. But if they consider 1.2b stable enough, then I'm glad they're using it.
It's a bit ironic that the c|net article tried to put such a boundry around so-called "gray-hat" hacking. I'm sure there's a number of "gray hats" that don't release the info about a security problem until after a suitable time period has passed and the company has either not responded or is not being speedy enough in issuing a patch.
It seems to me that giving companies time to fix their holes is always a Good Thing (tm) but that a lack of public disclosure by a 3rd-party will only help obscure legitimate problems. People with the attitudes similar to that of Peter Lindstrom* demonstrate, to me at least, a lack of care towards users and their potentialy open/vulnerable systems. One of the easiest ways to get a slow company to fix something seems to be to talk about it in the press.

I was back and forth on this price issue for months. I finally saw a good deal on the m500 for $175 after rebate and I got one. I think it's been well worth the money thus far but I certainly wouldn't spend anything more than that for a PDA.
For important things I've given up on email. It's far too easy to get lost in the shuffle. Of course it takes longer, costs more, and can easily be lost by the USPS, but once it gets there, it's far less likely to be overlooked.
Plus, since I got my m500 my handwriting has gone from bad to worse. I need something to get back to writing letters people can read:)
I've writen to jeff and rob about his abuses. I'm waiting to see if they really respond. I'd be suprised and happy if they did but I'm not expecting them to.
Egos are a part of life. Look at today. Michael, the most megalomanical editor on/. dropped me 30 mod points today because he didn't like what I said. I don't consider michael anything close to bruce's intelligence. I think he'll be able to pull off something here.
It's probably a good thing that he's playing down his departure from HP. It shows that he's already put it behind him and is ready for the next challenge. Now, I'm not 100% behind him on Sincere Choice but it's a move in the right direction for sure.
Uh oh. I'm down from "Excellent" karma to "Good" now. I count close to 30 mod points lost today because of michael. I'd rather not let him get me all the way to negative karma so I'll end here. Let this thread stand as a testament to the abuses of the moderation system and the lack of intelligence michael has.
Nah, Taco et all don't care. They've never cared actually. michael has got free reign on his stories and over his moderation abuse. I don't think Taco or anyone has ever issued an apology for some of michaels worse offenses.
Must be fun to hide behind unlimited mod points. I'm glad you're so powerful. This thread is just proof that you can not handle the responsability of being an editor.
If he's not been fired by now, he's never going to get fired./. hired him either because he has pictures of someone or because they're blind to his behavior.
Hi michael. Thanks for stopping by. Looks like I'll have to make a few intelligent posts now to make up for the losses here. At least I'll be adding more to this site than you ever will.
Editors have unlimited mod points. He doesn't have any fans, he actually modded down your posts. He stalked and tracked you. He's a child with a gun and no one is going to win in that situation.
What's really amazing is that michael thinks he is in the right. He is so blinded by his own self-worth that he honestly believes he is doing the right thing here. It's so sad to see someone throw good intelligence down the drain.
So if nothing was said or even implied in your sentence, then it obviously has no value and should have never been added to the story.
But of course it does say something. It says "I feel so important as an editor I have to add my 2 cents in everywhere, even when there's no reason to."

That's where SquirrelMail Lite would be good. Just browse your way to your IMAP folders. http://rumkin.com/sm-lite/patch/readme.html.

Phoenix is based off of the 1.0 branch of code. You're already at 1.0 as far as mozilla is concerned. They call it 0.1 for the projects purposes.
dpreview.com is running quite a bit of news about Photokina 2002. They've even got 2 images of the new Kodak. (Note: that's /of/ not /from/).

How about some more? I'm happy to contribute to the "michael needs a life" fund.
This is fun. Thanks mike. I'm glad I'm making you feel good about yourself. At least I'm doing something worthwhile, unlike your existance.
See what I mean? It's sad but true.

That's ok. I know what sort of child he is. I expect nothing less from him than a tantrum.
So if nothing was said or even implied in your sentence, then it obviously has no value and should have never been added to the story.

I wish I had mod points for you. Great post.
