    ... and wake up to Mr. State Trooper and/or Highway Patrol who has a stick up his ass for you doing the responsible thing?

    Yea, that works.

    I have no sympathy for anyone who puts personal data of that kind on an unsecured device. They made their bed, they can sleep in it.

    Rally driver's don't drive shitty cars in tiny lanes in full traffic.

    The only evasive maneuvers I can usually do is to speed up, slow down, or hit the car(s) next to me.

    Indeed. The vast majority couldn't handle the car on it's own, let alone the phone in addition.

    Those of us who can, pay for their idiocy.

    I hope you only call when they are being retards (like said woman).

    There are lots of people who know how to talk while they drive. The phone and the person on it are the lowest priority. Only a few seem to understand this... feel free to call out the rest.

    I'm not saying that the access shouldn't be provided.

    What I _AM_ saying is that it is much harder to provide proper security to a blind customer without human interaction.

    Fortunate for us Sun put Java in GPL for us. Oracle can't "undo" that.

    Has nobody attached a profiler and just let it go until this happens? Is it really that hard to find the cause?

    Plugins are not extensions.

    Plugins != Extensions.

    Plugins are things like flash. (.so files on Linux)

  18. Re:No extensions, no FF killer on Why Mozilla Needs To Go Into Survival Mode · · Score: 1

    Firefox extensions are javascript/xml/etc - not arbitrary binary code.

    I trust extensions MORE THAN "toolbars" (note this doesn't mean I implicitly trust them).

    Noscript blocks scripts.

    It doesn't block arbitrary element IDs, URL segments etc.

    I use chrome for one thing...

    MS Sharepoint doesn't like my FIPS crypto in firefox, and thinks I'm sending malformed packets. I have to use chrome (and DOWNGRADE my SSL ciphers) to use it.

    This is the _only_ reason I use chrome. I don't have any problems with Firefox and startup is almost instantanious.

    That said, I have 3 extensions: adblock, firebug, and noscript. I have 4 plugins: flashplayer, mplayer, mozilla-default, and java. I also don't tend to use more than 10-20 tabs at once, and they don't open until I specifically open them.

  21. Re:Firefox lite. on Why Mozilla Needs To Go Into Survival Mode · · Score: 1

    also, you can edit about:config and enable the tab autohide - when only one page is open in the window (ie, no tabs) it hides the tab bar.

    This also saves significant space.
