Yes, there's a reason: you're filtering the information you get.
That particular issue you are pointing out was an SQL Injection attack and IIS/asp.net can't do anything about that.
Recent firefox progress in my machine:
- Firefox 3.6: 1063.0ms +/- 4.9%
- Firefox 4.0b4pre (today's build): 622.6ms +/- 12.0%
These are with the same engine, btw. Jaegermonkey is not in nightly builds yet.
It doesn't take much more to make you bound to DOM operations in normal webapps.
Your firewall is probably blocking the plugins process.

A friend of mine just uninstalled foxit reader and stopped complaining....
I can't understand how people bitch continuously and don't even try running in safe-mode.
It runs faster because it runs independently of the all the work going on in other tabs: running scripts, rendering layout and loading stuff from the cache/web. But it can be done with threads instead of processes. It's less secure and prone to crashing, though.
Out of process plugins are coming out soon with 3.6.4 for select plugins.
In the dev release (minefield) this is already enabled for all plugins and it's fairly stable, save from some corner cases like java's modal security popups. This is seen working perfectly when the plugins hang/crash, which is fairly often with certain builds.
And I really, really hope they won't go for the process per tab like planned. It takes a lot of extra memory for little benefit (IMO).
I had the same problem when installing the RC version. This add-on turns out to be very helpful while they don't manage to update lightning.
The problem I have now is with the update feature. Having installed RC2, do I need to download de full version? It doesn't seem to be able to update itself.
Easy: it's cultural because it gets its value and inspiration from the culture & society it was created under.
You can therefore copy it because it belongs to us, the people.
What you quoted from my post is a statement of fact. It's the way it is in Portugal (for the main part). None of the ISP even tried to build their own infrastructure because they won't be able to do it better or cheaper. It's already out of the equation.
It doesn't work. In my country all ISPs share the same infrastructure at the same costs (maybe UMTS changed this a bit) so this isn't a relevant factor and is out of the equation.
Competition has actually driven them to homogeneity both in price and services provided, and this hasn't stopped them from adopting consumer-unfriendly policies. As long as these policies are beneficial to them as a whole they *all* adopt it, and we, consumers, don't really have a choice.
(sigh) And when all the ISPs "independently" decide to start charging every time you access google? Will you move to another country? I'm in a similar situation: my ISP has defined some policies that I don't agree with but all the available "alternatives" do exactly the same thing! What would a libertarian do?
This has been happening in Portugal for a long time. It starts out fine but after a few minutes the upload speed slows to a crawl. Protocol obfuscation works to a certain extent as a countermesure but I stopped caring about it after I change e2k/bt to use port 80 exclusively.
Here's a list on azureuswiki hinting that this a widespread ISP policy throughout europe.
In simple terms, it'll go as smooth (framerate) as your CPU will allow. That's why it's maxing out.
It's not surprising since this is a tech demo, and in reality most javascript animations you see today already do this to maximize fluidness.
Here's the exploit code for firefox.
Apparently, it should crash and open up calc.exe. On my machine (win7 RC1) it crashes bringing up the error report thingy.
No calc.exe for me.:(
If you invested your life savings as stock in a company, and the CEO did stupids that resulted in a rapid shrinkage of your life savings, you'd want to lynch him, wouldn't you?
Tough luck, happens every day.
If you wrote software that you intended to sell to a client, and somebody else stole the source by cracking your computer and selling it to your client at a greatly reduced cost, you'd want blood, wouldn't you?
That's theft, not copyright infringement. Even if the "somebody else" aquired an illegal copy from somewhere else and sold it to the company it would still be theft unless he wasn't pretending to be the "creator". That would be copyright infringement. Come on, it's easy to spot the difference.
If you bought a shiny new car, and six months later, a dirty congress-critter conspired with the evil car company CEOs to make gasoline illegal in favor of diesel, you'd be damned pissed, wouldn't you?
That would be a plain old ripoff, not theft. Morally wrong, sure. Illegal, very likely. Next time vote for the other guy.
More: in all these comparisons you are wrongly assuming that the value of copyrighted goods become zero after being copied. Which is simply not true.
Sure, it'd piss me off to see the my software being copied and crippling the model I chose to be paid but hey.. it's not like I didn't know about it before and there are no alternatives, right?
Go out and watch your favourite bands live, it'll give them more money than you'll ever be able to give them through the "regular" channels.
I'm almost sure it was something inside the controller chip that broke, since there was nothing wrong that I could tell just by looking. And if my little anecdote didn't tell you, I was young and stupid enough to miss a simple fix.:)
Not that I ever had the macGyver skills you seem to have.;)

And Portugal expects in 2011 to become the first country to inaugurate a national network of charging stations for electric cars.
A difficult step, yes, but without creating the market private companies won't jump in and invest.

The remaining tests target SVG font functionalities which are not being actively developed.
You can find a semi-official rationale for not implementing them here: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2010/06/not_implementin.html

From the project page it looks like they're going for a flexible model, so a lot of options are possible: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis

It's easy to be confused. If it wasn't released and kept "secret", it's stealing.
Copyright doesn't even make sense in this case.
It's a /8... The address fairy will soon revoke it from you.

From a consumer's POV, I don't (I can't!) distinguish between legislation and a de facto standard policy.

Does this mean I'm "safe"?
For a good reason, right?
Why the hell would you put a "portable" application inside c:\windows or c:\program files ?

Cool stuff, but not in the same price range as netbooks.

Didn't work, I tried. :)
Thanks for caring, though.
