Or for the truly paranoid, burn a bootable CD that does nothing but load up the bank's website. Maybe mount an encrypted volume if you want to store the data.
If the tax is paid at the pump and based on the car you happened to drive up in, will a common garden hose become a method of tax evasion? Will people who write explanations of how to siphon gas from one car to another be jailed for DMCA violations?
Yes I've read reports of fixed wifi. Apparently there had been a QFE available for awhile (one of those updates you have to call MS support to get) and SP2 finally included the fix for the general public.

And the followup question to (5) why does firefox not seem to care about mixing them?
The article says that the hope is for people to only share with friends they have met face-to-face. Sharing doesn't have to exist with everyone on your buddy list. But it does seem like an idealistic balancing act to manage the size of the group vs. the level of trust in all members of the group.
The trek vs. wars one is a bit of a shock. Trek being the larger empire. The prequels are a different category. Those I'd compare against Sesame Street.
I agree it is not a huge security risk, but it is another example of how you just can not trust IE. I am glad firefox has the option to disable scripting of the status bar. (though as people said this is an IE rendering bug, not a scripting issue).
It isn't just performance, but also correct handling of errors. If exceptions are allowed to pass through a function, the developer must always be careful to ensure any cleanup code is not skipped (i.e. liberal use of destructors).
This would be very cool indeed..Net has a security system based on which assembly (applet) is trying to perform the action, instead of which user launched the process. That allows you to do things like grant an applet access to the video card, but deny access to the harddisk.
I don't think enough people are using (and hacking).net/mono yet to be able to really know if this system is secure. But I do think it is a much more interesting system than plain old user-based permissions.
I find that practice to be very upsetting. I purposely avoid RTFA; that way I can objectively post my predetermined opinions about what the article probably says. Copying the text of the article into the summary is cheap trick that must be stopped.
I agree that clipping the dialog to the owner tab would solve the problem (i.e. make dialogs be child windows instead of top-level windows). But that behavior is unusual. Dialogs normally can be dragged off the window, but as child windows it would no longer be possible.
But I'm just playing devil's advocate. I dislike dialogs & popups and wouldn't mind having them removed entirely.
My suggestion for these 2 firefox problems are just switching to the active window. The input focus gets set to a field in another tab? Just show that tab. A hidden tab shows a dialog? Just show that tab. That way teh user knows which page is doing what, and if the behavior is annoying the user will stop using that site, or complain to the admin.
I disagree. Suprnova is simply the kazaa of the the bittorrent world.
It is not moderated, there is no "filtering/evaluation mechanism". It is just a huge dumping ground. And "Producers [..] would provide a copy of a program into the network" certainly does not apply. Copies get into the network, but the producers are not the people putting it there.
I believe users do have the connection speed to handle video distribution. And suprnova shows there is demand for on-line distribution. (I download most of my TV shows these days). But I don't see any compelling content being made available (by the owner of the content).
At least Michael Moore said it was okay to download his movie. But that content wasn't really compelling.
I'm sure many people recognize the coming oil crisis. But simply assuming military solutions are the only solutions is not what I would call seeing the bigger picture.
If the maintenance of our lives means we must take the lives of others, than our lives are not worth living. That is not being a coward. That is being responsible.
Thanks, I do start to wonder why anybody still likes bush sometimes. Interesting.
But do you actually pay less taxes (i.e. siginificantly less, like 1 grand less) or do you just think you do? It seems the only people who should be happy about Bush's tax breaks are Paris Hilton (inheritance tax) and Bill Gates (dividend/capital gains).
Only in my moments of deepest paranoia do I start to think that 9/11 was specifically allowed to happen so that Bush could have war-time power. Oh wait, was that was you were implying?
Yeah, I remember that too. Those were the days, everybody looked to the president for guidance. The Republicans and Democrats put aside their partisan bickering and everybody was working together. We thought it was the dawn of a new era in politics.

Right, he never found any bugs in the code. Just features.

Chroot is a bit extreme for my tastes. Being able to save files to my home directory is very useful.
Cybersquatting is only morally wrong if you register a domain for no reason than to sell it later.
In this case, I see no harm done to anyone.
