The dailymotion demo video works perfectly on mine (3.5b4pre), but i have seen similar posts in the MozillaZine forums, so i suspect their theora player is not very optimized, or it could be a windows thing, as I'm using 64 bit Ubuntu; Athlon X2 6000, 4g ram, 9800gt.
At least i can now read comments, last week i was getting "Connection Interrupted" errors in all articles using Firefox, with Midori it would work after a few retries, but it seemed to not read the css at all (Midori passes Acid3 with 100/100)
"File-sharing of copyrighted materials is not fair use." You get modded down because you are just trolling here. You are telling exactly the opposite of what this story submission is about, and its the main argument to be tested in court.
What is piracy to begin with? The abuse of this word is stupid, and legally you can only talk about copyright infringement, because there is no stealing (removing a physical object) involved in sharing copyrighted works.
Copyright.. Copyright was made to do the opposite of what is doing today: To stop third parties from perpetuating publishing rights over generations (printers guild, etc). Copyright was meant to give everyone the right to copy by imposing a limit to the number of years an entity might monopolize the intangible product, after this short period (14 years with a single 14 years extension) it went to the public domain. It was this what they meant with copyright promoting arts progress, by opening the human library of culture and knowledge to all, and thats the spirit of the US Constitution.
The way things are today, everyone has the right to oppose copyright law, exactly as everyone had the right to oppose slavery law. Fair use is like the last resort people has left, and this too is quickly being destroyed. See, the original Copyright law was fair enough and didn't need special fair use provisions, but now even this is being challenged by the media cartels.
Is non profit sharing of copyrighted words fair use? For me yes. If it isn't, the law is wrong and must be changed. This is exactly the agenda of the Swedish Pirate Party, yes, they use the word you love to abuse if only to laugh in the end, when the concept and laws concerning "Intellectual Property" are challenged all over the world.
Perhaps you haven't noticed, but you are in the minority here. Of course, in the US its the corporations, not the people who get to dictate laws and force the government to impose the same laws worldwide. However, this worldwide thing is not willing to follow orders, so easily. And the people who grew up sharing, now being ordered not to, are not going to stay still seeing their way of living destroyed. They are all going to support full legalization of non profit sharing, the way it should be.
Will this force you to rethink the way you earn money? Well about time, else you can simply stand aside and remember the times where you could slave artists and musicians for years of never ending profits in your comfy chair, Mr. Recordman.
Did you forget "KEY" "NSAKEY" found when someone let windows slip with debug symbols and variable names on? This is the reason you don't trust black boxes known as proprietary software.
I'm in with the fork. Nagging users with morals about "rights" for displaying ads is not the reason people use Adblock on the first place, or in my case: Adblock, Flashblock, Noscript, CS Lite and RefControl, which all do the same thing: whitelist/blacklist unwanted content. I don't even like how some addons want you to go view their page on each update, its a bother. I don't like Firefox asking to install missing plugins (which are not available for linux anyway), even the password managing is kinda bother if let on. Nagging disrupts the browser experience.
Please don't cry me your river of tears about ad revenue models. This is not TV, radio or printed media, we can mess the content however we want because: Yes we can! and there is nothing you can do about that. Don't like it? Leave. I don't like what colors your site use, so i use Stylish to get rid of pure white backgrounds, it is an accessibility issue as well. Ads are a bother and waste of bandwidth, i have never went to an advertised site or bought an advertised product because of an ad. When I'm interested in something, i search it on my own and read reviews about it, then make a purchasing decision.
Its not just the plugins, there are media filtering proxies such as dansguardian or squidcache which are very often found in LANs. No "moral" speeches are going to change that.
Well, instead of returning, you should have tried installing a custom distro such as eeebuntu (which i use), and see how things work the way they should. With ARM, it will be easier for a while since they need to use a different OS, they must pick components which work and not take shortcuts with cheaper but undocumented junk. Currently to avoid the Microsoft Tax, you can still get Ubuntu preinstalled with Dell's and System76's offerings, and stick with the preinstalled supported OS if you want.
The power seems adequate with the 900mhz (running at 630) pentium m on mine. You can get more juice with midori or opera, put 2g of ram if you like heavy desktops like gnome/kde, or switch to lxde. The atoms are even better, and the ARMs seem equivalent with much less energy drain. Only VIA sucks with the C7 (but still usable), sadly they bundle the universally hated S3 video ruining the machine.
A different platform such as ARM will be a breath of fresh chance for open source. I expect proprietary junk like flash and skype to be absent at first, but its their fault for not compiling to the alternative architectures, and its not like they have released the source so we could do it ourselves... Microsoft will have a hard time getting an adequate OS ready, they might try pushing CE or something.
Good thing i don't have a single bluetooth device. Wireless expensive headphones with their own battery, protocol, RF and software issues? No thanks. Short of a fancy method of accessing cellphones (data cables or wifi is enough) i don't see a single reason for bluetooth to exist. If there is a current technology which is more nuisance than helping, bluetooth it is. RF issues? how silly, i'll stick with trusted compatible wired technology thank you very much.
As for using linux, 10 years and counting. Rarely boot into windows for occasional gaming only. Ubuntu it is. If something doesn't work, its always the manufacturer fault, not disclosing the technical information or providing their own software support. We punish by not buying their device or technology altogether. Going back to windows is not an option, the vessel is burnt and XP 64 is the last gaming OS i'll keep until no new games (dx11?) work anymore, then i will stick to whatever gaming works with linux, wine or directly ported.
Whatever doesn't work in your preferred OS, should be discarded, not the OS itself which is not at fault. This is how we build collective pressure, and break that 1% into even larger numbers.
Until then, the military is still using aging FLTSAT and UFO satellites -- and so are a lot of Brazilians. While the technology on the transponders still dates from the 1970s, radio sets back on Earth have only improved and plummeted in cost -- opening a cheap, efficient and illegal backdoor.
Why would something like this be illegal to another country? The Brazilian gov should simply ignore this and let the Americans solve their own incompetence. I find this very cool and should simply be left alone until the birds die, by now the us military should be using updated and secure equipment anyway.
As for video consoles using "security", it is this what they don't learn from. Security measures only cause trouble and increase costs to legit users, everyone else will bypass them. Just like DRM and backdoors in computer games. It all started with the NES (as opposed to the original Famicom) which had an "auth" chip which loved to fail on its own, causing even more repair trips until technicians got clever to bypass the thing by shorting 2 pins:) Then its been mods, mod chips, software mods, flip mods, use a regular DVD drive on your cube mod; you name it mods.. Total waste. Same with printer cartridges; satellite tv; rfid cards; etc. The "pirates" who fight and help us, and the corporations who stomp and entangle us.
Targeted at developing nations... But in developing nations, people simply don't care about licenses, so the "Professional" edition is quickly installed and no one ever uses starter edition. In fact, it happened to the Home edition some laptops came with. This is a lame attempt to stop selling of machines with free software alternatives (gnu/linux, freedos, etc).
At this time, people wipe Vista and struggle hard to make XP work, as some brands decided to stop providing XP drivers, ppl start searching for chipsets, etc to find a suitable driver; anything but vista; and there some Ubuntu installs have been doing great:)
Quite simply Mircrosoft wants control, and we want freedom.
The fact of the matter is that it is very expensive to get your stuff to the ears of interested listeners, and a million musicians making blogs doesn't make that happen. In fact, it makes it harder.
Lets see... Play song, record song, put it on the net. Of course, you need something to record your stuff with, didn't you invest in your instruments? The recording machine is your last instrument. Of course, if you do it the label's way, with label controlled distribution and marketing channels, label owned radio and studios, where they simply monopolize all, cartel the prices and control the content, it "can be expensive", enough to make you their slave. The point of alternative method is breaking the chains, and internet with p2p is here to stay and improve.
In the meantime I'm getting japanese tv torrents. Isn't the world small? How is this stealing? Did i remove you the chance to watch it over there? Didn't the sponsors already paid the stations for free broadcast? Is not like i can even buy the programs in my country, and the fansubbing community is doing unpaid work by volunteers which end promoting others for free.
You can't steal without removing, which is why you can't force physical laws into intangibles. And even if something is illegal under today's law, doesn't mean it needs to be tomorrow's. Releasing slaves was illegal in yesterday's USA, something it would endanger the cotton industry of the past... I say this to you: Adapt or be gone, sharing is here to stay.
Captchas are really a problem. They cause serious accessibility issues, and many i can't solve myself having good sight and a large crystal clear lcd screen.
In your case i think you should try compiz (Called Desktop Effects in Ubuntu) for aid: There is a plugin which inverts colors, another does variable level smooth zoom which could follow your mouse, etc. Just make sure you have compizconfig-settings-manager to turn on the useful stuff and get rid of the rest.
By "rich entertainment" you mean the proprietary stuff owners of the code can't be bothered to compile for different platforms? But we are talking security here, the least you want is to add -who knows what it does on your back- black boxes known as proprietary software.
Mp3 is no problem as there is plenty of free software for it (being a patented format is an entirely different matter). Same with many other media formats (xvid, x264, etc).
I think in your experience with *bsds, you didn't try the ports system. There is an entire Linux distro inspired on it, go figure... The ports, documentation and organized file structure is what made me dump Debian in favor of Freebsd many years ago for production servers. Plenty (if not more) packages, and not from 3 years in the past, yet fully stable; and custom optimization compiled if you want:)
The BSDs are very solid choices advanced gnu/linux users should try, if it only for the experience.
I don't really like the fonera scheme. The only reason i even know such thing exists, is because someone brought me a device with the fon sticker on it and i started researching how to remove their customized openwrt with either true openwrt or dd-wrt, which i did successfully, and the device became a regular wifi ap.
Fonera is not even a mesh, its plain regular wifi access, for which you have to have an account with them (centralized), by means of paying a fee, or sharing your wifi. Terrible.
The hardware they use is good, strong and compact, atheros based iirc. These are the same used in the much better open-mesh project, which is what meraki could have been before it corrupted itself into oblivion.
Open-mesh lets you mess with the hardware all you want, does not force you to authenticate to third parties, does not forbid you from modifying/installing your own software. Its the opposite of Fonera and Meraki, in the spirit of the Free Software they run things with; they just provide you the tools (hardware and software) to roll your own wifi mesh and do with it whatever you want, no third parties involved.
At install, ABP gives you the option to subscribe to a filter list to keep the blocking rules updated. The first and most used option is Easylist, which was maintained by Rick. With adblock, you needed to have another plugin to self update the rules, called Adblock Filterset.G Updater which polled the rules for you. Apparently, Adblock is not maintained anymore.

If i was a terrorist with a working nuclear bomb, i would use a much simpler method: Put it in a private/commercial plane bound to the US. Detonate while the plane is in its final approach (optimal altitude). Of course, they could buy their own plane and use their own suicide pilot, Or put the package in a passenger or cargo plane.
So, no need for fancy rocketry (which could be intercepted), the means of delivery are conveniently in place, is not like you can control every single airport/airstrip outside of US...
It is the same in my country, it is the same in Peru, it is probably the same in most latin american countries, and i'm sure its pretty much the same in most countries. The fact that you can see people in the street selling unauthorized copies of movies, music, games and software is not going to change. Internet is putting then at some risk, because some will download the stuff for free to watch/play and delete rather than dealing with physical media. If the WTO starts getting nosy and bothersome, most countries would simply left. The media giants can try and sell authorized copies very cheap, like they do with movies in China, but don't expect the governments of the world to act as their private police. Some do knee to the pressure of the United States, and some outright defy it; most do some publicity raids here and there from time to time and then leave the stuff alone to prosecute real crime. IP enforcement is dying fast worldwide, as more and more generations growth without any restrictions about it (even tho this hurts Free Software a little). The main objective of the Swedish Pirate Party, to legalize all non profit sharing is not crazy, i'd say it's being pragmatic about the reality because those major US corporations keep living an illusion that needs to be shattered away for good.
Multiplayer gaming with some form of subscription (to use their servers) is still working, except when the server software gets leaked and "private" servers appear all over (many korean games). Microsoft pretty much knew this would happen which is why they want to switch to a more enforceable subscription model, dropping selling of boxes and licenses and distributing "light" Windows editions which let you get online to subscribe to use various apps and features (a situation which do help Free Software). No matter your position on this issue, there is a hard reality out there. No amount of yelling of name calling or even laws/trade agreements will change the fact that, pretty much anywhere outside the USA you can cheaply get unauthorized copies of anything. If you want to have clear rules, lets formalize this situation and legalize non-profit sharing. Or keep living in your illusion, and get a lot of bad PR in the process (reinforcing the need to rebel)...
