That, of course, is not what the original article ever said. What Firefox does is support world-wide web standards better than the leading browser. Standards compliant pages will run better on Firefox than IE. Therefore Yahoo is moving towards world-wide web standards by making pages that render and function correctly on Firefox.
That's comparable with a medium sized petrol-fuel automobile. But with the automobile's 3X to 4X range, it takes 3X to 4X as long total to fuel your vehicle for the same amount of travel.
And what is the cost per mile of the fuel? That detail seems to be missing.
And how inefficient is it when you have to detour to refuel so often.
And don't tell me this is clean energy until you're producing the hydrogen for it with clean energy somehow. Say a solar farm spread over a few square miles of desert.
My solution is to convert all those GM EV-1 charging stations into hydrogen generating stations. The power is already there. Just run a line in from the nearest drinking fountain and throw the switch!
...Until the lawmakers that mandate their adoption, along with police departments and all other state and municipal workers have to drive them first!
And don't forget all the pro-environment movie stars who feel that Bio-Diesel (recycled, processed vegatable oil) in their H2's somehow make them criticism-exempt from the causes they support so vociferously!
The whole purpouse was to gather evidence and details of the botnets...The value of having this information is far more useful than deleting the bot off a computer.
Of course you misunderstood my post completely, yet replied anyway.
1: Find how the 'bots operate.
2: Send the 'botnet instructions to patch the vulnerability if present, and self-delete immediately afterwards.
Do not study them forever while they continue to wreak havoc on the rest of the Internet.
After 20 years intensive research Apple discovers that a majority of its users have more than one finger on each hand. Always a leader in productivity, two-button iMouse to be released this year! Further news at 11.
Now there's a use for a Botnet that wouldn't bother me. A continual DDoS'ing of www.milka.fr starting a month and a day from now after the domain is handed over.
(I hope Milka appeals and wins the right to keep her name.)
Hopefully, the cell phone companies see this coming and will start to work on technology to drop calls from known offenders.
You're missing the point here. The cell phone companies want you to use your phone. You don't have unlimited cell phone service. The more minutes you use, the more you pay. This is to their advantage, because where else are you going to go?
You can automatically block all VoIP call from your phone for just $1.
It ought to be free. Even better, they ought to pay you to allow them to block VoIP. After all, you've just asked them to kill their only real competition!
Actually we did. The infamous Green Card Lawyers carpet-bombing Usenet told everybody paying attention that we stop it now, or it will only get worse.
Problem with politicians is that they don't react to a problem until after it has grown out of control. And they don't listen to the people who do see it coming.
That's why to this day, CB radio skips clear around the world. They didn't listen to the experts about assigning frequencies. Even now, with spam a problem for everyone, there is little in the way of effective law against it.
The first step is a whitelist for people who get through immediately. Everyone else to voice mail after being required to punch back in a numeric code given verbally to dispense with automated calls altogether.
Next, a numeric code to let whitelist people through when not calling from a whitelisted telephone number.
Third, ASAP simple voice recognition to replace typing in a code for whitelisted callers. (E.g. "Hi, it's Mom...").
Someday, absolute identification of the person making the call so that Caller ID is accurate (i.e. "Insert national identity card in slot to complete this call..."). (Note to privacy freaks: When you're calling me, you already know who is on the other end of the telephone line, and I feel I should have that same right in return.)
If technology can create the problem, it darn well ought to create the solution as well.
And when technology doesn't work, massive fines for those who invade one's private telephone space!
Piracy is estimated to cost the movie industry US$3 billion ($4 billion) a year.
And how much of that is from people who see a poor quality pirate copy, and realize that the movie is even worse than the pirates copy is, and certainly isn't worth the price of admission to see it in a good theater, or the price of a good DVD with all its extras? A lot, I'm guessing.
So how was he caught? Downloading without sharing is a pretty quiet activity. You're not broadcasting your library - just your search list.
He must have downloaded a few movies from the wrong sharer (i.e. copyright enforcer). But if those files were offered for public download (to trap the unwary), how can they be illegal. Hey, you offered them. Why am I in trouble for taking what you freely offered?
Something is missing in this story so far, and I really would be interested in hearing what it is.

Now was that so hard?
Wow! News at 11.
Dark matter = highly energetic cosmic rays?
Pioneer 10/11 being pushed out faster by all those tetraneutrons that have escaped the detectors up until now. (They had to go somewhere.)
Clearly the answers to these questions are contained in the other questions. The rest of the answers are left as an exercise to the reader.
Gee, a Windows XP version that is even less useful than Windows XP - Home. Wow. I can't wait!

The 100 mile range might just be enough to get from one hydrogen fueling station to the next.
And they can follow that with Version 6.0.

Clear now?

Oh, yeah, you'd be out of a job at that point once they were gone.

I would say that Management has some serious 'splaining to do to its shareholders.

Microsoft got off cheap. Very, very cheap.
No, I don't believe that at all. They know which pages they pulled this with in the first place. Or is that too obvious for you?
...and then I deleted all that other stuff to make more room for my iTunes purchases, and now my system won't recover.

Did they remove all the pages...
Would be nice if his survery also included effective removal methods for each installed item. Then it would be really useful and informative.
