I don't want to sound like a parrot, however your point is spot-on. If this were a Firefox vuln. it would affect FF on Linux and Mac. However, it only affects Microsoft Windows users.
Sorry you're reasoning here is just wrong. There most certainly can be a vunerablity IN FF that only affects the windows version.
You are aware that you can place more than one HTML file control on a document, right? Of course, a smarter fix would be to allow an HTML file control to select multiple files. That would require a change to the standard, though. Since the w3 is currently pushing XForms, I doubt that'll happen.
Yes, I'm aware. Please tell me, how many should I place on a single page, when one may upload three files or 40? Yes, with DHTML I could create them 'on the fly' but that adds a bit of complexity on the client (especially since I am trying to target multiple browsers) as well as the server. Nevermind that ALL browsers seem happy just to use the same progress bar for downloading to indicate uploading, and most users just think 'its sitting there doing nothing.'
I agree with your smarter fix, but its not implemented yet. FWIW, I did build a page for non IE users (or those that chose not to install the control). It allows six files at a time to be uploaded. Even with only uploading 6, that's six times the user has to click Upload and select the file (and depending on the OS, they'll have to navigate to the folder containing the files each time).
I personally have never had a problem with Java in Firefox (Note: Don't ask about Adobe Flash 9 with Firefox or Opera). JUpload is also cross-browser compliant, assuming that you're using Sun's JVM.
That last assumption is the killer. How exactly do I explain how to download and install Sun's JVM (and make sure they get the right version). Especially when I try the JUpload demo, and it crashes firefox (rather, it causes it to hang and stop responding). I'm not sure if it was a specific version of FF, but it did the same thing at home (with all Java applets, not just JUpload).
To date, ALL of the 'problems' with the site have been with those using the non-ActiveX page (excluding the problems where the upload size was exceeded, and thus the files rejected).
Um, wrong way I believe. That page doesn't tell you how to use a FF extension from within IE, which was my point (that FF has its own proprietary stuff).
It is, but a signficate portion disagree as well. With 300 million people (almost) there is a wide range of beliefs. I think our Constitution sets forth Freedom as the ideal which we want to achieve (or did, it seems most Americans actually hate freedom now-a-days).
I think you mis-understand the net neutrality debate here. The laws in question would only explicitly say 'yes providers may tier the net' or 'no they may not.' It wasn't an attempt to say 'telcos MUST tier the internet.'
I would think tiered internet could happen in France just as easily, assuming there aren't laws either way (likely a good assumption). All it takes is the telecom monoplies in France to become as greedy as those here. Of course, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Um, did you ever stop to think the reason the UN didn't stop genocides in Africa is because they don't care about what happens in Africa? That its simply unimportant to the members of the Security Console, and any UN presence there is a token gesture?
Americans have often been incapable of criticising themselves, labelling people with dissenting opinions as traitors. I'm glad this is changing.
Wow, way to generalize there. Plenty of people have dissenting opinions; our current administration calls them 'bleeding heart liberals.' Thank god your non-USAers aren't judgemental or anything.
You should have been modded down; your statement implies that the US is the opposite of a democracy. Most of us know its not a democracy, but a republic. So while your statement if factually true, its the implication that causes it to deserve a flamebait or troll mod.
I don't think so; winlogon is your logon process, so at most I believe that will log you out. Check out a Server with several remote users logged in; there should be one of those processses for each user.
If manual was what you believed, there'd be no need for Disabled. Haven't you ever see services Started and Manual, but that you didn't reqest to start?
Oh, and to your last comment; there ARE places for it. I've deployed a site that if your browser supports it will attempt to install the XUpload control. Why? Because the user experience is ALOT nicer than the file upload mechanism supported by most browsers; the users can upload ALL their files in one shot, instead of a few at a time. No more clicking each upload button for each file you have to upload.
So yes, there ARE valid places to use it. And yes, I did look into JUpload from the same company. Nice idea in theory, except that Java applets have caused me no end of problems in FF. Namely crashing FF.
According to the article, its a High priority update, meaning it won't be installed automatically. Users will have to choose to install it. Only Critical updates are downloaded and installed automatically. Take a pill.
I believe Barbie was a name used for women long before the doll came out. Barney is also the name of lovable Simpsons character. So far, two of those three names have a HUGE number ligitimate uses outside of searching for childrens topics. Pretty much why this bill is absurd to begin with.
And FWIW, I don't even know this is a problem today. Who is searching for pokemon and ending up with porn?
Ya, I'm of the opinion that collections people need to be drug out to the street and shot, they really are scum on earth.
They actually believed that $200 could ruin my credit, even though other wise my credit is pretty fucking good. They claimed I wouldn't get a mortgage; I told them, if someone doesn't want to give me a mortgage because of an obvious dispute between myself and the greedist bank in the world, regardless of everything else I've paid in good faith, then I wouldn't want to do business with them anyway.
Because they should keep their word. I know its a novelty today, but there is something to be said for keeping their word. On the legal side, it could be considered a verbal contract which the sales associate entered the company into. I would have dropped them even if they didn't try to insist that reality wasn't as I remembered (and had proof of that fact); I think their people should know their products well enough that they don't make this kind of mistake, and when they do, own up to it and take responsiblity for it.
First, I never meant to imply you specifically. Second, yes, the family should fight the RIAA if they believe they did nothing wrong. Ever hear of 'evil can only win if good people do nothing?' That's whats going on today.. good people are doing nothing, and the result is that corporations are bullying and basically stealing people's money. Finally, there ARE lawyers that will fight on a contingency, either because the good will it generates will help them, or they honestly believe in the cause. There ARE decent lawyers out there.
Are you seriously suggesting that everyone in CA will vote as a block?
California has a huge, mostly conservative, central valley. This area is largely farm country. This area has concerns, and voting patterns, that are radically different from what most people think of when they think of California politics.
It doesn't need to have everybody vote the same, just 51%. And its an example. Suppose a majority in CA felt this way is how the thread started..
If you're not happy with doing away with the electoral college, what about having the states split their electoral college votesbased on the popular vote split in the state? California's central valley would certainly be better represented if states discarded the "winner takes all" nature of the electoral college. Why should huge states like CA (which would be the fifth largest economy, if it was a country) have to cast all of its electoral college votes as a block?
I'm not certain if there's anything forcing a state to cast all of its electoral votes as a block; I'd have to look that up. I don't believe there is though; I believe each state is free to decide how to divy their electoral votes as they please.

It's impossible to steal [an] unprotected car. If you leave your car keys unprotected, that means you are purposely sharing it.
If you leave your keys in your car, why shouldn't I use it until you tell me otherwise?
How about assuming that other peoples private property and resources are PRIVATE.

None of those are in Africa. They ARE very close to Russia, one of the members of the Security Council.

Sorry they are not. Even your quote says 'in a broad definition.' Of course the devil is in the details, which is why they are NOT the same.
If you want to know more, read the Federalist papers. You'll see that our founders actually didn't care for pure democracy much. And with good reason.
There is when you really shouldn't be proud of your country. And as far as our international policy goes, we have very little to be proud about.
The rest of the world doesn't care about your domestic politics, only your international politics.
Really? Is that why the rest of the world condems our use of the death penalty?
I don't think so; winlogon is your logon process, so at most I believe that will log you out. Check out a Server with several remote users logged in; there should be one of those processses for each user.
If manual was what you believed, there'd be no need for Disabled. Haven't you ever see services Started and Manual, but that you didn't reqest to start?

So what do you think accounts for the fact that alot of them call themselves Bambi?
I believe Barbie was a name used for women long before the doll came out. Barney is also the name of lovable Simpsons character. So far, two of those three names have a HUGE number ligitimate uses outside of searching for childrens topics. Pretty much why this bill is absurd to begin with.
