True, but how about the ISP's sending an email to the user saying that 'your computer is likely zombified. Unless you know what is going on on your computer(s) here's what you should do, or we'll be forced to close/severely restric your connection within the next week.'. The ISP can check for weird zombie-ish behaviour automatically. If the user knows what the traffic is, he can then respond with a reasonable explanation.
Well, almost. Easier adblocking would be one thing, the filter.ini is a bit clunky to update. And editing the CSS and viewing the results in realtime would be great. I know it's possible with the html, though.
Ablocking is an interesting issue however. Imagine if Firefox gets more than 50% market share, and all of them block ads.
My opinion as well. What I like most about Firefox is that it has the option of remaining slimline. Although I use Opera all day long, I also use FF, especially when designing web pages (obviously). My biggest gripe is that it hogs a bucketload of memory before even loading a single page, and thus takes a while to load. More streamlining, leave the fancy stuff to extensions, please!
Marketing, probably. Commodore fell in the same hole. Back when I started with Opera 6, it was such an incredible thing compared to those netscapes 4.7 (brrr!). Right now the difference is much smaller, with Firefox catching up big time.
Just because an app is better made (still), doesn't mean it translates to marketshare. What I've been wondering is, what would happen if Opera 8.1 incorporated support for Firefox extensions? Mayhem!
Firefox is an IE-replacer, that's what it's really good at. It fits in the same slot, so to speak. Opera is more of a full suite for using the internet.
On a tangent, can someone tell me why display:inline-block isn't supported by Firefox? It seems it used to be in Mozilla... Hell, even IE gets it right! I'm forced to make a compatibility-css file as it is now.:(
This brings an interesting point to me personally. I don't really follow the latest pop music at all, and I have absolutely no memory for names anyway. In any case, I happened to download a Coldplay album (Rush of Blood...) a year ago or so. Never heard of them before, but I liked it a lot. Then, I was randomly browsing in a cd shop, found the cd half by accident, and bought it. And now I find out that they're actually pretty famous!
Ok, so this is really Yet Another story of how p2p can advertise and promote artists, but somehow with an extra twist.
It's true that this gives better security, but is that small extra boost worth it? I'd say it's more in the interest of wikipedia to be able to find hordes of puppet-accounts, than to give a meager security boost, at least for now.
Also, from the queue on K5, this article might just be the death squirms of the nailed troll(s) anyway.
No, you don't know the password, because the password is not written on that page. The password for all those users are unknown, the title for each group is just one of the members of each group. Once again the über-reporting of/. strikes back.
No passwords have been leaked. The article summary is totally bogus. Nothing you see on the wikipedia page has anything to do with anyone's password (except the really blatant 'troll'x10 one). The page merely shows groups that have the same password.
The apocalypse doesn't have a release cycle though. I hope.
Well at least it's not stable!

That's the problem with difficulty settings, there are many kinds of difficulties. Suppose I use a setting of 'medium' in a game. Is that easy for me, or actually ultra-hard? There's no way to know.
Another reason to play on easy is to check out the game, if you don't have much expectations from it.

Well, maybe I'm getting old.. (hah!). But I've also increasingly come to like more relaxed activities, as opposed to willingly delving into scariest parts of a game. I've had my share of horror films etc. already.
Also, especially with deus-ex, I usually don't need any extra difficulty for it to be difficult, I'm capable of making up my own difficulty by doing things the "cool" way instead of the quick way.
That's usually how it goes too. Repeat drunk drivers will probably get one of these, or one of the other drunk-driving prevetion devices. Nothing but a good thing, I say.
Yes, what the hell are you all talking about kids for. Kids can be educated by their parents. This things is meant for ADULTS. Kids are usually not alcoholics who drink 50% of their time, while still carrying a driver's license.
An AI should not only be good enough to beat the crap out of puny humans in 5 seconds, it should be good enough that it has the sensibility not to do it.

Are you proposing that zombies get access before all humans have?

It's been filed ages ago, and will be implemented "in the future".

Is there anything in Firefox coming like Opera's thrash can which is somewhat related to the snapshot/fastback, opening previously closed windows?

But Opera already has all that stuff, without using extensions??

Heh, I've actually composed music based on games from cassette tapes for my old and venerable Amstrad 6128.
My distro comes with fully naked people. They're compatible among themselves too.

Where I live, the driving age limit is 18. Kids don't drive, and thank $deity for that.
Looking at your spelling, I'd say you just did touch a -5(-20c) steering wheel. That, or you need one of these devices.

1xDVD : 1,32MB / second
1xCD : 150KB / second
Notice the difference?
Actually, that's just part of the puzzle, making sure that you won't get stuck. That would kind of ruin the gameplay, wouldn't it?
