  1. Re:More reason to use Firefox on DNS Cache Poisoning Spreads Malware · · Score: 1

    How about a plugin that listens to DNS lookups.
    And when the time comes it can display popup that says: The last 2345 times www.yourbank.com was 111.111.111.111 but this time it is 222.222.222.222
    are you sure you want to proceed. Possible DNS poisoning. YES / NO

    I am sooo glad that SANS uses colored alerts like "Homeland" Security. Its pretty tacky. I guess the first time I heard about it was in the orginal Star Trek. Nothing tacky there.

  14. Re:optimizing windows on Comprehensive Guide to the Windows Paging File · · Score: 1

    The /s option means delete recursively and /q means don't ask for confirmation so this command will delete all files on your current drive. A somewhat crafty (but evil) post.

  15. Re:Mirrors on Mozilla Firefox 1.02 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    I did that in Windows but then in the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel I got entries for Mozila Fire for 1.0, Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1, Mozilla Firefox 1.0.2. So if you install Firefox on top of a previous install it doesn't remove the old one. It should warn you about this or remove the old guy.

    Your "solution" is stupid.
    You can't change the system. The signature area is for signatures. You are going to have tons of trouble with your silly "solution". Why not write "the user has a mole above his lip" or some other idenitifing mark? Why not because its for signatures and clerks are going to play your game.

    Hey Google people, try this for a personal project...

    Take the same Linux you run in house, customize it so it can boot on a regular PC. It launches into Firefox. There are icons with colorful links to Gmail (for your mail), OpenOffice (for your word processing) and Picassa (for photos). Call it GoogleOS.
