How exactly is the home-kitchen-and-garden PC user going to use multiple browsers? It's too difficult to explain WHY to switch browsers; let stand WHEN to switch.
I think addons are a solution here; by using one browser, but an addon which switches to another version of mode when needed. A list could be made where the preferred version of IE gets pre-selected. There are already addons available to run native MSIE in a firefox session.
2 of those three features are possible which you described through firefox and additional tools; it's not because it requires an extra step that it's impossible to do so.
I've used to run a cybercafe for +10 years, where the software on our mirrors had an extra tool especially to lock down Windows & Firefox settings.
People don't like sudden changes, subtle changes like an extra sentence or box on the site would give less angryness among those not accepting big changes like such.
I've got to add, if you want a heavy-duty industrial punch tool; Krone These things get used by telecom guys all over the Benelux; I've used it for +11 years in our in-house datacenter to get the job done.
Even those boxes without springloads are easy to install with these tools; it's push and play. When lucky you'll be able to find a "Krone LSA tool" for cheap on e-bay but watch out for imitations! These will damage your connection blocks overtime; giving bad connectivity as result.
Need extra shielding? use STP cable together with Hirose plugs for pull-protection; available in many colors and sturdy till the end.
[grin=on]... was that a bug? Outlook and big files? by now, I got used to big bloated files; so I didn't really care about them at all! [grin=off] (wonderful to control those muscles on command)

If this is a troll, it must be a kick-ass troll...
I think parent poster should be getting insightful instead; talking about not trusting blindly; even if it is science... It's only with an open mind, more options can be found. Remember; there used to be science about the earth being flat ages ago.
It's been some while I've been installing these things in an car; but there are 3 types of alarm systems and 3 types of anti-carjack systems.
All of these systems include a box with a relay or circuit breaking off the key ignition towards the computer and a box shutting off the gasoline supply when the alarm or carjack system is armed. This box has a dozen of wires, colorcoded but impossible to "hack" into without knowing what you'd be doing.
The Onstar system can easy be defeated by removing the SIM card; although; it would also defeat the real purpose of the system (mostly used by companies) and that's CARJACKING.
In Belgium we call these VV1, VV2 and VV3 for the alarm systems and CJ0, CJ1 and CJ2 for carjacking systems.
VV1: Anti thefth system which activates automatically after a few seconds when the engine stops running, so the car won't be left alone unattended.
VV2: The same as VV1 but always includes perimetric sensors which activate after leaving the car.
VV3: The same as VV1 & VV2 but with an alarm for perimetric and volumetric sensors
Carjacking systems, alike on-star:
CJ0: This protection level has a sat receiver/transmitter giving the exact location of the car.
CJ1: The driver needs to authorize with a code or card before allowing the car to leave. If you'd leave with the car without authorization, the direction lights will start flashing, claxon will start buzzing and the engine stops.
CJ2: (Alike On-star) A combination of CJ0 and CJ1, protecting more expensive cars. Through sat the cars can be localized fast and can be disabled from distance. If the engine is not running, the terminal will react with shocks and will control any movements by satelite. The owner will be contacted when the car gets moved or towed away.
None of these systems got an easy "override" button and are mostly built in deep under the dashboard -or- under the hood. The only thing you can do is remove the sim card or stop paying your subscription if you value your privacy over the value of your car. Yet, a nice thing to know ; The on-star system will not listen to conversations, UNLESS the car is on the move without authorization; so there is no immediate privacy risk of on-star listening with the system.

I used to be addicted at games, mostly Lucasfilm/Lucasart and Sierra games but occasionally also Dynamix and others...
Now, there seem to be only a few games really attracting me, although the goal to reach end-game-content has been shifted entirely.
Older versions get deleted as soon as a revision is up. If they would made those available to download, it would sure make my day.. since I don't trust to leech these things from unknown sources.
do these things remember cookies ? As soon as that's possible, an unique id can be assigned... Add to the mix the useragent, ip, proxy info and (hash of an) internal identifier == unique id.
I've seen earlier some entries from Perl code around cpan about mobile authentication, possibly with a few brands only; but cannot remember the right module anymore. There is some Ericsson code available through the web.
I wonder if this "bug" is also possible through Facebook Connect, because that would mean an extreme privacy risk for users behind a company proxy!
The Sawyers experienced a different glitch. Coe said an investigation points to a "misdirected cookie." A cookie is a file some Web sites place on computers to store identifying information -- including the user name that Facebook members would enter to access their pages. Coe said technicians couldn't figure out how the cookie had been routed to the wrong phone, leading it into the wrong Facebook account.
I cannot understand why Facebook didn't add the ip address to the hash of the login; making it impossible to use the same cookie with another IP address. I simply cannot understand. I even think mobiles generate their own UNIQUE identification code which can be used too for the mobile version of facebook.
I'd think BOTH are in error; facebook for having ratsass security and the phone company of making this possible.
Makes one wonder too; how safe we really are for MITM attacks; looking to this case...
Cybersquatting; companies have to register even more so they won't loose their precious brands. Maybe they should fix domain squatting before adding extra TLD's?
Scripts on the net: are expecting legit input; e-mail addresses are getting checked by millions of websites, mostly through simple regexps. Once these TLD's get added, be ready for lots of these scripts to be broken.
Search engines: will be required to find your favorite site on the net; since there isn't a common qualifier (.com) anymore.
presence: it's already hard enough to know the host is hosted as.com,.be,.co.uk or anything like it.
Spamming: will get to an entire new level; for both receiving and sending part. Because e-mail addresses won't have their common
Money: This seems to be a quick scheme for them to create money instead of making the Internet easier accessible; with much more advantage towards squatters and spammers instead of being there for the real internauts.
To my opinion, they are going way out of line by breaking open a new set of problems without solving the number one domain problem: Thefth/copycats.

Who DOES like a popup in the first place?
Your UID is lower than mine! I want my mojo back!
... program a version which just disables all mouseovers when it gets approached by a mobile browser?
That way all users got some piece of the cake.. or maybe that's thought too easy?

What does Chuck has more that we don't have ?
Don't tell me "Karma" because I'm having plenty of that left.. It must be something else! Something biometric ..
oh probably Chuck Norris doesn't need biometrics to enter something ..
I'm sleeptyping again!

This is no more difficult than a cookie to spoof by a man-in-the-middle such as an ISP.
If the IP and other environment variables are passed together with that id; it would be "more" locked to location and client.
For facebook with it's own security gateway (Facebook Connect), I've been expecting this session id to be at least that secure ...
Or you could just use the old version...

One of the best features about handbrake is, I could put in my DVD and have the copy on my mediaplayer.
Now; I'll need to use FFMPEG on handbrake input making the process double as long to support my 3yr old media player.
Oh, and it doesn't support MPEG that good without having issues. DivX was the savior for a long time.
Netscape had it right with a big visible lock, which you could hover and click for more information.
Most users can't have it too easy to see where they are, so it's best to present any security details *right in their face* instead of hidden away...

That terrorists are already dominating our lives, our kids and our future.
It's what they are best in ... "TERROR" ... Look at this reaction and see people freightened in terror ..
And governments are "fixing" it by the most wrong means possible .. it's madness.
