Agreed. And why in the hell do they ghost out options then not explain why they are ghosted nor give me the option of doing what ever hoodoo they want to enable the options?
I dislike a billion windows, modal windows, popups, etc. but fixing that is near impossible.
I should have a button that says "stupid Gimp" or "Photoslop" GUI functioning and have all the menus, look and feel, etc, etc ad infinitum ad nausium instantly change to reflect that. I've complained of this before about window mismanagers with hostile results.
They still want to rake in the big bucks. Rather than dumping this liar they'll just put a bandaid on it and keep raking it in.

News from Doubleday & Anchor Books
The controversy over James Frey's A Million Little Pieces has caused serious concern at Doubleday and Anchor Books. Recent interpretations of our previous statement notwithstanding, it is not the policy or stance of this company that it doesn't matter whether a book sold as nonfiction is true. A nonfiction book should adhere to the facts as the author knows them.
It is, however, Doubleday and Anchor's policy to stand with our authors when accusations are initially leveled against their work, and we continue to believe this is right and proper. A publisher's relationship with an author is based to an extent on trust. Mr. Frey's repeated representations of the book's accuracy, throughout publication and promotion, assured us that everything in it was true to his recollections. When the Smoking Gun report appeared, our first response, given that we were still learning the facts of the matter, was to support our author. Since then, we have questioned him about the allegations and have sadly come to the realization that a number of facts have been altered and incidents embellished.
We bear a responsibility for what we publish, and apologize to the reading public for any unintentional confusion surrounding the publication of A Million Little Pieces. We are immediately taking the following actions:
# We are issuing a publisher's note to be included in all future printings of the book.
# James Frey is writing an author's note that will appear in all future printings of the book.
# The jacket for all future editions will carry the line "With new notes from the publisher and from the author."
I think that's the series. It's the one with the game about Italy/Rome where one fellow had manage to build something in it that is stunning. Another person then went in and destroyed it. It was a virtual reality setting IIRC.
Peirs Anthony had predicted these kinds of elaborate games a decade or more ago. He also predicted their wealth generating potential from intangible creations.
Without the money they fade out of existance. Organizations are organisms that compete, those that use certain methodologies survive, those that don't wither.
Ecosystems are a fact wheter ecological or economic.
After reading the included link *and* reading the comments of the implementors they don't get it. They don't want to disable it by default or Just No Do It.
They don't want to inform the user of it. They don't care if it violates security concerns or privacy concerns. And they come across a condesending and holier than thou.
I will no longer support that or any future version of Firefox unless this is removed completely and a privacy statement is issued where they pledge to protect the users security and privacy. I will not allow my systems to be upgraded and will not recommend my company consider it. I will actively work against them.
The firefox crew are more vile than M$ for you've violated my trust.

That government installed biosensor on your sewer outlet won't need a warrent.

It has nothing to do with hypocracy and everything to do with corruption and control.
It would make it rediculously easy to shut down a forum you have a problem with. Just flood the forum with trash constantly.
There seems to be some belief that the modern era has slowed or stifled human evolution.
It's 19.95 but you have to listen to a screaming Austrailian and some worn out bimbo actress for an hour around midnight or so.
Aim for the pleasure center!
Sounds like a trust needs bustin'
So I cut the damn thing out while torturing the pin codes out of them. Sheesh morons.
Best I can tell he's someone who garners government contracts and has a few crackpot ideas. Google his name and the name of the company mentioned.
I've not seen google delist sites that fake positive results. I suppose if BMW paid them there'd be no problem.

I've seen similar letters from software authors and some very scathing ones from shareware authors.
Would it be safe to say he has learned from the mindest and did what was necessesary to suceed.
I'd say so even if to suceed he had to do somethings I consider wrong.

You make a resond argument to evil. It won't effect them but is good for those readin.
A couple of Thermotron http://www.thermotron.com/ ovens,i to_doc/ethernet.htm
some Omega controls http://www.omega.com/
all hooked up by their industry standard ethernet interface http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/
to a PC http://www2.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/pc.htm
and you have the same thing for less money.
Tell NASA to shoot for the moon NOT the moonpie!
That's wet their panties.

Coat the outside in sand in bags, call it deployed ceramic armor.
Or use a bamboo mat but call it processed cellulose armor.
On a less serious note there is a metal/polymer composite that NASA paid to have researched and it worked. Where is it?
Successful research does not garner future funds.
