Firefox VoIP Client

· Score: 1
Dude..the kinds of "extensions" he means don't have websites. You don't even have to goto the trouble of downloading or installing them yourself, they're that good.
Windows let's you register your own protocol handlers, if you wanted you could easily register "skype://" and have the Skype client pick up on in webpage clicks, if Skype haven't already done so (I've never used it).
The same could be said about Opera widgets, most of which have nothing to do with being useful to web browsing.
When Web 2.0 calms, and the dust has settled we will see what consequences have swept in with all this madness.
How about a simple extension that'll make it easy to transfer webpage bookmarks across IM network during conversation, without having to go edit your bookmark and copy and paste the url, that may actually be a useful integration for heavy VoIP users...no no lets just put the whole VoIP client in the browser it makes so much more sense.
What 'tough questions' would you ask him that haven't already been asked? Whimpy questions about the 'integration' between IE and Windows? Turn it into a political/philosophical debate about the Open Source model? Bashings about long patch response time?
Do tell, I personally thought the interview wasn't too bad, although it could have pressed on a few issues rather than swiftly moving onto a new question.
That seems like a pretty obscure feature to me. Absolute positioning inside a scrolled block? Is there actually any mention of how such a situation should be handled in the relevant standards?
Opera seems to update the visible area once the box has been scrolled, placing the box back where it was as if it is floating over the blue box, Firefox seems to make it stick to the scrolled area.
I was under the impression absolute positioning was always relative to the inside of the browser Window, not the container.
If you're convinced this is a bug, have you reported it?
Why so we can see some crappy generic bland boring models like on every other ad campaign? Atleast it's a _little_ distinctive, even if corny, give them some credit.
While it's true that Opera and Firefox run neck and neck, with Opera losing the overall resident memory battle in some cases, Opera doesnt suffer from the runaway memory issues some people report with Firefox (although i've never experienced it that badly myself) and it always seems to _feel_ much more responsive and snappy than the fox.
I personally find myself using Opera exclusively on Windows and Firefox on my Gnome/Linux desktop.

This goes for all video. Period. If you visit a digital video enthusiast forum like Doom9 you'll see that statement over and over and over in threads. As the first post said, move along nothing to see here.

How long is this hair? Left or right toe? Do you blog about it? Awww comeeon where's the link dude.
Do you realise how many keys 4096 bits give you? So many my 64-bit processor can't even do the math.
It's totally infeasible to slot all them keys into a decryption algorithm in a reasonable time, let alone a day, it's much more likely that the algorithm itself will be compromised first.
Unsanitised input. POST (submitting forms, uploading files via your browser) or GET (normal webpage viewing) requests are ways in which you as the visitor or user of a website send and receive data to and from that website. Sometimes, web applications (programs running on the server side) return this data back to to your browser, for example when validating forms you may see messages such as " is an invalid name".
When this data hasn't been properly filtered of validated somebody can trick you to visit a specific URL which contains malicious embedded HTML or Javascript. When the vulnerable web application returns this injected data back to the user's browser it looks like it's coming from the source. Because the malicious party has introduced their exploit through YOU the secure channel between you and the vulnerable application (in this case Paypal) has never been compromised.
Injected javascript for example to hook into the credit card entry box and some XMLHttpRequests calls to submit that data to a 3rd party where it is logged is one possibility.
In short, don't click links from untrusted websites going to websites like Paypal, or if you do check the URL very carefully. Oh and don't use Internet Explorer, thanks to this little vulnerability it looks like open season on your private information.
So in other words he's making the generalisation that all women are practical workaholics, interested in a career what 'what it'll do for them' with a hint of bred-in freedom fighter?
Hey we should just put them *in charge* of the project...
A bit of a sweeping generalisation don't you think. Just because a chip is stuck to the board it doesn't mean it's going to slurp up alot of CPU. It's got to be better than software if anything.
Although I find the dynamic of databases on 'both ends' rather interesting, I thought Mozilla were introducing SQLite into Firefox (for bookmarks etc), but now they're introducing Apache Derby too?
You don't actually have to disable WFP, when the dialog pops up informing you files have changed and asking you to restore them just hit cancel. Windows won't bother you about it again, much safer.

The GAIM 2.0 beta has alot of improvements aswell. Worth checking out.
Yep, change your XP theme to something non-standard and it's a dead give away

You don't use init? oO
My guess would be too much junk compiled into the default kernel and a huge init script.
For example, the Gentoo wiki page on speeding up boot time mentions switching to a different init script .
Even on gentoo with all this taken care of however, my boot time to a shell prompt is slower than all the way to desktop on XP x64.

It's worth mentioning that both Worms Armageddon and Worms World Party run pretty well under Wine on Linux with a dll hack and a couple of overrides.
Worms 2 -> WP rules in terms of sheer amusement and fun. I wouldn't say it's the most 'gorgeous' of 2D games though.

Yes they do, hence a leap further and not a leap in another direction :P
Programmatically creating GUI's? Ewww, why not just take another leap and go with the python bindings for libglade?

All the hacks belong to IE. Maybe CSS is great for styling *and* layout and IE is just lousy for CSS?
