All I really wanted was to be able to disable that f**king antivirus of theirs. I receive lots of mails with lots of por^H^H^Himages, and waiting for the antivirus to finish its work before being able to click "view all images" is a PITA.
They could at least allow administrators (gmail for your domain) to turn it off.
Well, I've been using this pref since the early days of Minefield. I find that most extensions I use work fine under Minefield. Here is a list of them:
Adblock Plus
del.icio.us
Fasterfox
Flashblock
Greasemonkey
Live PageRank
NoScript
Web Developer Toolbar
One thing to note, though.. I think recently the mozilla addons site has been changed, and the button to install is now disabled if you use a not-officially-compatible browser version.
To overcome this, I first install NoScript (it's compatible with Minefield), and then blacklist the mozilla addons site, so it will not run the javascript that disables the button (yes, it's javascript). Then I can install whatever I want.
Of course, I had a few problems with some extensions. Turned out they really were incompatible, but from my personal experience, most of them work just fine under Minefield.
And how nice... just noticed slashdot is ISO8859-1 encoded, so my previous post won't display correctly.
Hey, Slashdot, why not use UTF-8?? Being a (mostly) english site wouldn't show a problem, since US-ASCII and UTF-8 overlaps nicely.
Right... so, he wants to block people out. Instead of getting workarounds, all he will get is people going elsewhere. I've read his comments on that page, and I haven't seen someone that stupid (and also contradicting himself alot) for a long, long time.
Stealing... right! Next thing, he will call firefox users pirates? Terrorists?
Sure he can block whoever he wants. And sure, we can go visit other sites.
I guess they just can't make decent HTML that work on every browser, and blame firefox for their stupidity, after all, things that work good and nice in IE display crappy in Firefox. Instead of learning to do proper HTML, they just want to block firefox so everyone will see their crappy html right.
Re:Thank you very much for Gnome Terminal improv.

Gnome 2.14 Review

· Score: 1
Hey, gnome-terminal doesn't need fixing for international characters.
I use gnome-terminal (2.12) and mutt (1.5.11) and they work fine with each other. I can see all sorts of characters.
Yeah, I was wondering why the story's titles after "Is AOL The Key to Microsoft 'Killing' Google?" had bigger fonts. Seems like a good upgrade after all.
There are a few warnings on the pages, though. You should try to validate them on w3c's validator, or this excelent extension for Firefox.
Anyway, kudos to you all.
Anyone able to RTFA?

Just look at the Terms of Service in their page. This must have been put under the wrong slashdot section. It's more suited for the "It's funny. Laugh".

Oh well...
So, make it illegal for anyone (including police) to have guns. They can be used for crime, can't they?
Also, make cars illegal. Most bank robbers use a car to run away.
Why not make knives illegal also? Sure you can use them to make a nice barbecue, but you could also kill someone with it, couldn't you?
For god's sake, get this right and go after those who use them for crime. Going after the tool is useless (and criminals will still have them anyway).

Aren't they already royally f*cked for using Windows?
Yes, but normally, when you update your linux distro, you get newer versions of the programs and libraries.
On MS, at least on our daily patching routine, the updates are only bugfixes, and usually don't introduce new features or enhancements.
It's true, when I update Linux, it usually downloads tons of things. But just count how many separate programs there is. There are tons!
On MS, you usually get updates on Windows itself, IE and Outlook.
Did you ever get a new version of Paint, or WordPad, or some other component of Windows?
On Linux, I get new versions of everything, from jpeg libraries to web browsers. It's way more programs to update.
Fine... I wonder how the prosecutors will prove that you have been using it. Logs? Logs can be easily forged.
Anyway, with the advances in P2P technology, it can become impossible to track who is getting what. Just like in Freenet.
I guess so. The GPL is a license. Licenses should be valid anywhere. It just states what you can do with the piece of software you just got, regardless of the place you are.
A law is bound to a place, the US in the case. Therefore, it has no value (thanks heavens!) outside of the US.
Of course, IANAL... just what I think.

That's something to be thought, even more if you can mix character sets on domain registrations. Don't the URLs below all seem the same?
http://www.google.com/
http://www.google.com/
http://www.g/#1086;&%231086;gle.com/
Cyrillic and latin alphabets have a few letters that overlap:
a and
c and
e and
H and
k and
m and (ok, almost, but upper-case still goes: M and )
n and (kinda)
o and
p and
T and
x and
I hope they take this into account when making other characters encodings into dns.

Err... people have been punished for errors on msft's end for years. Isn't using any of their OS's punishment enough?

Look at the header of that page:
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">

Am I the only one who read Sony instead of Sonic, making a direct relation to music pirates?
THought this was some new kind of DRM news.

SCO is dust, and will soon be gone.
Why even post things about it?
And probably one of the most secure ones. After all, no networking, right?

Why not use Firefox with the User Agent Switcher extension? It lets you give your browser whatever disguise you want.
