  1. Context... Context... Context... on Mozilla Uncooperative With OSS Groups on Security? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This article rips Ben Gooder's words so far out of context that it is not even funny...

    Here's the original sentence with the quoted portion bolded:
    If security is important to you, this demonstration should show that browsers that are redistributions of the official Mozilla releases are never going to give you security updates as quickly as Mozilla will itself for its supported products.

    The context of Ben's blog post was the final release of the Netscape 8.0 browser which was based on top of the Firefox 1.0.3 source code. Ben was merely pointing out that this left the Netscape users open to attack. Netscape promptly released 8.0.1 built on the Firefox 1.0.4 code.

    Mozilla is fulfilling its obligation to its users by producing quality secure products, not pandering to an OSS "community" which seem more intent on arguing about every minute detail rather than change the way things are done.

    To that end, Go Mozilla!

    The big foot doesn't give that away?

  3. No one thought... on New York Computerizes its Subway System · · Score: 1


    ...that it was funny that the story about the New York subway system was taken from the Boston Globe?

    Oh well...

    Read the title as Files the first time around and wondered to myself.... What's new about that? So, figure that the first application will be for Recon and Defense?

  5. Units are the problem... on Car Powered by Compressed Air · · Score: 3, Insightful
    The author of the post got the units backwards...

    The line should read:

    The car switches to an electric motor when its speed reaches 20-25 mi/h (32-40 km/h).
