Just read how many comments there are online about disabling IPv6 on Fedora to make it faster.
That's depressing. What I want to know is why IPv6 and IPv4 lookups aren't done in parallel. Take the response you get first. Cache the other, get over it, move on.
I'd like to point out that Google would also be smart to not post stories about Neo-Nazis on their german site.
Incidentally, I read, write and speak french fluently and often check out http://news.google.fr to see what the engine finds relevant to their populace.
I find it interesting how different their homepage and http://news.google.ca can be.
I'd like to state for the record that I don't mean to say that bombs do exist in Iraq. I simply mean to say that the US military might not find them even if they walked past them every day.
After having downloaded the current article page and sent it through, I get the following:

One suggestion that spawns from my recent update of APC's power management software for Windows: Offer a "report a successful installation of Firefox" option under the Help or Tools menu. Request on the download page that people click it after installing to report that they've successfully installed the browser and have it working.
You could easily offer a "register for new release notifications by E-mail" website as a result of course. Make sure you have a nice little privacy information link on the downloads page so people know that their IP and OS are being logged but nothing more about them and that you won't keep that information except for counting who has installed the browser.
Python has several game library bindings available -- PyOpenGL is good as well as a low-level package.
SDL is available, etc.
I'd prefer to write games in Python with platform-specific libraries available as modules for CPU-intensive sections. Of course, if a library for the current platform wasn't available, you'd just run in native Python mode instead.
You left out the interesting part in #2; if in fact you notice a new probe on port 22 and think to yourself, "hmm, maybe there's an SSH vulnerability I don't know about" and so you take down the service and start firing those packets at it in an in-house environment, you have the possibility of finding that buffer-overflow and fixing it, recompiling and E-mailing the maintainers about it.
People who believe strongly in the myths of a free economy often ignore the research that has gone into the brainwashing known as modern marketing.
As I recall, Coca-Cola was the first company to use the new (at the time) realization that people could be manipulated into buying products without the use of logic in their advertising.
Instead of "we're sweeter" or "ours works better" they could just use "see hot babe? see coke? get picture?" type ads instead.
You don't display knowledge with cat knowledge unless knowledge pre-exists. This may be your point, but on a machine containing a file knowledge, that knowledge may in fact include understanding.
"grok knowledge" is perhaps more interesting as memes go, but that might just be me.
"cat/dev/knowledge |./understanding" is somewhat equatable to the above grok comment as well.
Is it bad that I was trying to figure out why I cared? After all, I'd rather use short-range secure wireless for low-bandwidth devices and firewire for high-bandwidth.
I don't actually see a market for USB, except that Intel and MS pushed it so hard (for *years* before it caught on at all).
How about the fact that its just a version number? At our office we refuse to use 1.0 versions of almost anything because they're just beta versions that needed to get out the door.
After years of pretty terrible education, I decided to switch school systems for grade 9. In my home town there was (and still is) a high school that believed in good education (and happily removes students that don't agree). I chose to join this French Catholic school after having done years in the local public system. They required that I spend a year doing language studies to prove I could cut it but I'm very glad I took the leap -- I was suddenly surrounded by other students who were more interested in physics, genetics and astronomy than in, well, nothing at all.
It always surprises people I work with when I drop to a Windows prompt to edit routing rules or test network login scripts.
It always surprised me that the only way to schedule operations in NT4 was to use the 'AT' command from the prompt. ROUTE, AT, IPCONFIG, etc. are all your friends in Windows.
There's always the HOSTS file, the fact that devices actually have filesystem namespace names under a few layers of silliness, etc. Try booting a Windows XP/2003 machine in debug mode sometime to watch all those/Disk(01)/Partition(00)... names fly by.
The accident rate is not a good indicator of safety as a driver. Here in Ontario (Canada), we have a no fault system wherein in most cases, each person pays damages to their own vehicle, no matter who caused the problem.
The result is, if I get rear-ended, and claim it on my insurance, my premiums go up.
To top it off, and no I don't have a link, Michigan raised its speed limits to 75mph in a test a few years back and found its number of accidents decreased.
I'd like to have the contrast lowered as much as 35% say in relation to how long its been since I used the window. I'm a mouse-over-only person; I often move between active windows without clicking and don't want my inactive window to suddenly go faded on me because I moved my mouse away.
The black box sure as (insert expletive) isn't going to note the swerving of the truck in front of me, or the tailgater behind me, or the fact that I changed lanes to let someone pass me and some bozo who didn't signal decided to merge into the same lane in my blind spot.
I didn't realize that X-Chat wasn't a functionning program.
Perhaps "hey, I'm poor, I've been programming most of X-chat for the last x years of my life, and I need money to keep going, please donate to this Paypal button..." would have been a good first move?

Speaking of which ... isn't it the same military that couldn't find this *known* bomb that can't find them in Iraq?
Of course, on Firefox I'd just use the User-Agent extension to change my browser type ;-)

You cannot distribute a package under the GPL unless you allow free access to its source files as well.
That's well documented in the GPL itself.
That said, the above is under the ZLIB license, not GPL.
Also, if you're the Copyright holder, you can release your Betas under a tighter license anyway. You can do whatever you like as the Copyright holder.

Plugins do in fact work seamlessly. Its not Firefox's fault that not all plugins you expect from IE are available yet on Firefox in that format.
Consider how easy it is to install extensions to the browser; click, install, restart browser.
Do you seriously want a browser that auto-installs Active-X plugins like IE?
How about the fact that its just a version number? At our office we refuse to use 1.0 versions of almost anything because they're just beta versions that needed to get out the door.
I'm still waiting for user education to catch up. If I here one more person ask "Where did the Internet go?" when I remove the IE icon ...

That is part of the basis upon which the canadian ruling against the entertainment (music) industry was based.
They had no proof of infringement, just suspicion.
