IE's stability and speed isn't so hot. I'd agree that IE 6.0 is more stable than previous releases, however (4.0-5.0 were chunky pieces of dung).
Back to Firefox. I think the stability of Firefox has a lot to do with the stability of your system. I use Windows XP SP2 on one partition, and Xandros Linux on the other. I have experienced crashes in Firefox, but they don't happen that often. But on a Win98se box that was never very stable to begin with, I've noticed crashes all the time...where as IE tends to be a bit more stable on that system.
Is it possible that your test system is the problem, and not firefox? What are your specs?
My apologies as well...
As a technician who deals with many people who question my abilities due to lack of understanding about technology and what it is I actually do, I suppose I have a major chip on my shoulder. I'd best get rid of it.
Nevertheless, your comment on the validity of the report is welcomed, and I thank you.
It was an observation...I don't intend on presenting said statistics in any way...and even if I did, the auditor isn't interested.
In terms of your cred (if any) remark, I am uninterested in your opinions. So kindly keep them to yourself.
I wonder if I could take these statistics to the auditor for one of the banks we service. Though the audit focuses on Windows security, and the vulnerability of the network, one of the key complaints was about the Mac OS.
Of course, their reasoning is that the Mac does not respond well to Active Directory Infrastructure...namely Audit Policies, login scripts, and constraints on network access.
One has to wonder, though...with the growing numbers of trojan horses, windows worms, and buffer overruns...why not consider the Mac?
That is...until the rest of the industry does the same...then we're right back to where we started.
I'm no longer a gamer, but I most enjoyed Uematsu's work in the 16 bit gaming era. Unless I'm wrong, he composed the theme to FF3 (FF6 Japan), which is one of the most soulful, beautiful themes I've ever heard in a video game (although my wife insists it's the Zelda theme...shame on her).
I guess my question is this: What exactly is Smile, Please? A gaming company?
I was under the impression that NASA may be considering a move away from the Space Shuttle projects. Could this be one of the last missions, or are the rumors greatly exaggerated?
I can't say what the answer is in all cases, but in some security violations such as phishing, there's an easy to follow audit trail. Setup of servers, tracable IP addresses, etc.
Yes, most hackers worth their salt spoof their IP, but that doesn't mean that they don't make mistakes. The ones who get caught and pay a stiff penalty usually have larger targets (as in NYtimes.com).
And when they do get caught, sometimes the book is thrown to make an example (Mitnick). Claiming self-destructing trojans is a hard case to make if your case gets the attention of the government.
When Al Qaeda operatives are heard around the world asking the age old question: "Can you hear me now?"
I'm not sure which is worse: The political implications, or the fact that I'd be annoyed once again by that idiotic slogan.

PC or Mac compatible? Or both?

What's next? Gator is okay with Spybot?
Brr....it's getting dark...and cold...

Does this mean that the federal goverment can prosecute Hormel for spamming about spam?

Which isn't much different from directing a Seagal film.
Then at least he could have achieved a little respect.
