No go. Whatever I try, my Firefox refuses to let the spoof work. Might, however, be a side-effect of the filter sitting between my browser and the Internet. BTW, this thing happens to run pretty well under Wine.
Hmm. That works with my Konqueor, but not with the Firefox (1.0). Might be related to the Fx accessing the 'net via a filter. That thing tends to break some exploits.
If indeed my Fx is what's breaking the exploit I'll immediately file a bug in Bugzilla. Firefox should be able to support common exploits like this one.
The problem is: They just have to miss one tiny bit of code they could possibly get sued over. Someone will come and try to sue them out of the market, just because.
While there is an incentive, there are also the legal jungles called "copyright" and "software patents", which are inhabited by angry 300 pound gorillas.
The American's are Stupid argument isn't getting a lot of traction
Trust me, over here in Europe it is.
Life must be one big soap opera for you guys... At least when you try to have an election or something. "Will John find out that George hacked the voting machines? Is Laura really pregnant with Rummie's child? You will find out about this and much more in the next episode of All my Senators!"
...When you really think about it, it's actually more like an absurd sitcom.
Or, of course, a huge part of the population was unable to comprehend how participating in the election of their country's leaders could possibly affect them, so the ignored the election altogether.
No, no, no! They should concentrate on taking the 2002 election - that would imply that they develop a time machine, which in turn would be pretty cool.
And which might destroy the universe as we know it.
Concerning AdBlock... AFAICT, AdBlock removes ads from the websites you visit by matching parts of them with regular expressions and then replacing them.
Is there an extension that allows arbitrary regexp matching/replacing of text? On my Linux box I have Wine running The Proxomitron, but I'd much prefer "native" Firefox support for regexp-based page/header modification.
Hmm... We have this ultra-powerful processor geared towards distributed processing. And recently we saw human-pilotable walking robots, a sign that the mobility of robots is ever increasing and that robots are becoming more and more capable of navigating through and manipulating out world on their own.
These two will sooner or later get in contact with each other. I think that the results are obvious... Just remember: Cutting them off of solar power will only make it worse. No spoons etc.

Preview of KDE 3.4

KDE and GNOME are ugly, hard to use, and don't come close to the user-friendliness of windows or mac os x.
You obviously never had to reconfigure your Windows in any way. I have been power-using Windows since 3.11 and after switching to Linux about one year ago I was immediately surprised at how intuitive everything configuration-related was compared to Windows.
Properly configuring your system is pretty hard with Windows - most of the interesting settings are hidden in obscure places where no one in their right mind would ever look for them; some settings even require you to fiddle with undocumented hex strings somewhere in the registry or use third-party software to do the dirty work for you.
With KDE you can access pretty much everything you should ever want to configure using a very clean and intuitive control panel (compared to Windows'). The Gnome panel seems to be rather usable too, although I haven't seen it too often.
Sure, the UI needs improvement, especially in comparison to OS X. But I think that in terms of usability, KDE and Gnome have both already surpassed Windows.
It's big things like the more intuitive design and small things like X's select-and-middle-click-paste or KDEs multiple kicker bars that - in my personal opinion, of course - make Linux/KDE a lot more usable than Windows.
No, it's attached to the cast that your orthodontist sends to the lab. The "embedded" in your teeth is pure slashbot FUD, and appears in none of the linked articles.
Just wait, I'll contant my representatives! I demand the right to have RFID tags embedded in my teeth!
But the movie itself isn't something that a sentient being should look forward to.
What? Come on, we really need another trash movie! "Doom: the movie" - doesn't that sound likely to become some kind of cult trash movie that future generations will download and laugh about?
BTW, they should let Troma make the movie. Really.
Having lived through the terrible voice acting of the German version I know why... Even if the movie's voice acting was only half as bad the entire audience would fall asleep after five minutes.
AI Chick: "Master Chief. You need to reach that terminal or we will all die. Oh my god."
Master Chief: "There are some aliens. Die aliens."
*BLAM BLAM BLAM TAKKA TAKKA TAKKA BOOOOOM*
Aliens: "Argh."
Soldier: "Oh, Master Chief. Thanks for saving us."
*an alien shoots the soldier from behind*
Soldier: "Oh, I am hurt. The pain. See my guts spilling over the floor. I am in agony."
Yup. I ordered an 12" iBook a few days ago. Now I got a mail from Apple saying that they've upgraded my order to the new iBook with "similar or better" features. Which means that in my case the 60 GB HDD magically grew by 20 GB and I still pay almost 200 Euros less.
Up until this point my experiance with ordering from Apple has been pleasant. Now I'm absolutely positive that buying a Mac was a good idea.
I believe that's what the grandparent tried to say - they could've tried to provide children in Sudan with food and clothes, but then they would get fewer donations meaning that they don't use their potential to the fullest. But because they ask games to spend money on games (even though they're for someone else) they generate as many donations as they can, thus using their full potential to do good.

Damn, I'll never trust df again!
How about Amaya?

Maybe the current generation needs to die.
Now that's one good slogan for a gun manufacturer... "Smith & Wesson. Because maybe the current generation just needs to die."

Since Novell bought Suse hasn't Suse been an American company anyway? So whats the deal with all the Europeans? :)
We just happen to prefer green reptiles over red headgear.

I'd be happy if I could just have KWrite without having to install aRts.
Now they're all cool and shiny - but just wait until one of them gets truck by a lightning and starts calling itself "Johnny".
The solution is simple: Move the RFID tags from the cards into your fillings, hairpiece and penile implant!

But of course I'm eagerly waiting for the Mac branded PDA phone that runs OS X "Kitten".
Yeah, the default background will probably be that stock footage kitten picture you find all over SA.
Nuclear genome?! I read about that in The Sun! it causes radiation sickness and Spontaneous Human Nuclear Detonation! We're all doomed!!

Actually, what the parent said can be applied to just about every country in the world.

But because they ask games to spend money on games (even though they're for someone else) they generate as many donations as they can, thus using their full potential to do good.
