Firefox 1.1 Scrapped

The problem is with Yahoo--not Firefox. Yahoo uses an amazingly shitty browser detection system that lets old Netscape browsers through but still doesn't recognize Firefox.
The tutorial really is one of the best I've ever read, spans 131 pages and walks through building a high quality app with an administration interface and unit testing thrown in.
Many/.ers are seeing the 'beta' line and automatically equating it with 'crap'. The actual book, however, is excellent even in it's beta stages and is easily better than many of the non-beta technical books I own.
This book is written primarily by Dave Thomas who wrote pretty much the definitive book on Ruby and who was kind enough to contribute the first edition of the book to the Ruby community (you can read it online here).
I realize that most of the comments are going to be jokes because of the tone of the submission but Wink itself is a very useful application.
It's similar to Macromedia Captivate and the dozens of other Flash-output screen recording tools available but what sets this app apart from the others in my opinion is it's support for Linux (it's available for Windows too) and it's price (free).
The only other app that I've used that does screen recording and outputs Flash files is the vnc2swf console based program. While vnc2swf is quite good at full motion recording it's editing capability is virtually nonexistent (there is a program called edit_vnc2swf but it's console based at least right now).
Wink has an excellent GUI, is 100% free ( I made a voluntary donation to the developer via Paypal and encourage others to do the same), allows you to do manual or full-motion (timed) captures, and has very good support for Linux. It's definitely an app worth downloading.
(Note: I'm not affiliated in any way with Wink--just a happy user).
It'd probably be too much to ask some people to read the product page for the laptop but the least you can do is read the first sentence of the 2nd paragraph:
Hewlett-Packard is now taking orders for their nx5000
business notebook computers with Novell's SuSE Linux 9.1 installed.
HP is intentionally targetting the enterprise market with this laptop and have stated this multiple times in the past.
Cnet even has a video where an HP representative tells us that HP is targetting enterprises and that they're doing this more as a trial run to work out kinks and see what improvements users request before they put more resources into this segment.

This is definitely not a fix for this exploit but if you're running a server where you have given shell access to a few people (like on a hosting server), this would be a good time as ever to limit compiler access.
Here's how:
Add compiler group:
/usr/sbin/groupadd compiler
Move to correct directory:
cd/usr/bin
Make most common compilers part of the compiler group

If you take a look at the page, you will note that they only have to produce one package-- the tar.gz QT static download for all Linux people to be able to install and use it effectively.
The RPMs, Debs, and the shared QT version of each one provided by Opera is more for the users' convenience than a necessity.
According to MIPI, there are around three million users simultaneously online and connected to the Kazaa network at any one time sharing around 573 million files. Over 850,000 tracks are made available by over 2,500 Australian users.
If each downloaded track was purchased for US$0.99 the total would be over US$2 billion per month globally.
1. Pay people to spam the Kazaa network with spoofed music files
2. Wait a bit for the self-spread spoofs to multiply
3. Sue the Kazaa team for billions in lost revenue
4. Profit

It's $22.50 for the PDF by itself or $43.75 for the dead tree book and the PDF.
In other words, the printed book is $21.25 if you take out the cost of the PDF.
I purchased the combo the day after it was released and must say it's more than worth the price.

No, he's right because the 'a' is referring to 'fragment', not 'iterative' (ie: 'a fragment').
Some bloggers did this months ago and released the source (and it's not obfuscated like Google's code). This is definitely not new tech.

So yes, the poster before you was correct in saying that the parent poster is a moron.
This is one of the things that has impressed me most about KDE. The protocol handlers can make working with some of these protocols a piece of cake.
Also worth noting however, is the DCOP system integrated into KDE. The protocol handlers and DCOP can and do make a powerful combination.

Oh wait...
Here's how:
Add compiler group:
Move to correct directory:
Make most common compilers part of the compiler group
Set permissions
To add users to the group, modify and change to '123' will be different on your installation.
Again, don't think this is a fix for the exploit. It's just a good little step in securing a box.
