I know it's not nearly as nice as Adobe actually supporting x64 Linux, I've not had Flash 10.1 running in nspluginwrapper crash on me yet. I think it's a combination of Firefox running plugins in their own process now, and the FlashBlock extension.
I wasn't making any point about Firefox's inability to multi-thread. I was pointing out that he seems to think that the Firefox devs should be able to somehow magically make JavaScript code not freeze up when run.
If a Net facing application, which is meant to process data acquired from untrusted sources freezes because it's fed bad data, it's entirely that application's fault. I don't care if Slashdot was coded by the Devil himself, if Firefox freezes on Slashdot then Firefox has a bug.
I have one right here in front of me. I bought it for exactly this kind of thing. I have it loaded up with PC repair tools, if the machine needs to be fixed, I sure as hell don't trust it to write to my drive.
On my Siemens router the lpd queue name is lpt1. Had to figure that out from the Windows configuration section of the manual, as the UNIX setup section said the name is lp which does not work.

If that "bad data" is actually code, you may not be able to do anything about it locking up. See https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Halting_problem

IT Guys ask "Are you SURE it's plugged in?"

I mean technically, opening a coke bottle without the supervision of a licensed engineer is illegal in the state of Oklahoma
Could you please give us a link to this? I'm intrigued by weird laws.
While not exactly as compact as having a built-in touchscreen, you could plug in a Wacom tablet and use Apple's Ink handwriting software.
