That's besides the point because they're not paying for the damage caused to the economy by the fear of collapse they caused, also they make every penny back by taking advantage of the current financial conditions.
Ironic that you should bring that up, Goldman are some of the biggest organised criminals the world has ever seen, working with the government to shaft the public - who will now be paying even more taxes to pay for the mess Goldman helped to create and profited from and is still profiting from.
So they sit on there arses while billions of pounds of financial cybercrimes are committed, trillions of spam sent, and then arrest some 15 year old for hurling a few packets in the name of free speech - fucking lame.
WTF? Did I just enter an alternative universe where google doesn't collect ridiculous amounts of information on everybody and have already given police forces bundles of information on people and only recently it was discovered hackers got in to their email system by using the back-door they put in. They've only just started too, see last link.
I've tested this every which way, If I close this comment page - hardly any usage or if I turn off my webcam, hardly any cpu usage, But this page + fsdn.com scripts + webcam running in XP (flash not running) = 30% of a core.
All other tabs closed, recent history etc wiped, firefox restarted.
Exactly and this is why I dropped Virgin Media - Phorm, 'traffic shaping' and a generall shambles of a network - pages broken by poorly managed caching systems. Upstream only 2-5% of download speed. Bittorrents take forever to re-up including linux distros and other legal torrents. They suck bad. And they're not even cheap!!!
Actually -
bluray patent licensing costs
Stick 100% on top of that for the retail mark-up, now how much of that $50 is licensing?
AKA bluray driver would cost nearly half as much without the royalties. See also
this.
Trying to cram the status bar info in to the url box with the url is not a 'lovely feature' it's fugly and useless, I like to have an idea of how long a page is taking to load and where the link I'm looking at is going.
Looks likes a the tab related stuff was fixed / my system only. I still don't like the status Info going missing, there should be an option to turn the status bar on in the view menu.
And how do you know if a page is partially or badly encrypted without clicking something and digging deep and being a SSL expert? - seriously, who wants to have to manually check every time - a notice should stand out if a page is not encrypted right.
I've never reverted a version before, always liked the new one, but with FF 4 and it's lack of status bar and lack of SSL related security notices and missing right-click menu options, I've got to ask what the hell are they doing? Mozilla seem to be trying to dumb down FF and are removing useful features in the process. Double click blank space for a new tab is gone, right-click -> new tab is gone.
It's slower to use now because quick options and quick information have been removed. Also, hovering over URLs now squeezes the URL to be visited into the URL box with the current URL, unreadable light coloured fonts have been chosen and for most URLs you can barely read a fraction of the URL - It's dreadful. Plus right-click -> block image has been removed.
What next? Quit trying to copy Chrome and IE if I wanted to use those corporate straitjackets I would be.
Bitcoins is a totally retarded idea because the more popular it gets, the more energy has to be needlessly wasted and more CO2 and other pollution pumped out, higher risk of nuclear accidents etc etc
'The production BitCoin network needs your CPU or GPU time to grow stronger'
Shouldn't we all be against this?
Half the world is starving - capitalism exports it's misery and pollution to poor countries and robs those countries of there resources. How many people have died of famine - and how often have the people in those countries been living under capitalist goverments? Add those numbers up and then tell me communism is worse. Don't get me wrong, I don't like any dictatorships, but your post smacks of McCarthyism.
A solace for living participants that there will be some reflection about them; preferably in an orderly manner. That they will be remembered
Having some stone stuck in the ground amongst 10,000 other stones stuck in the ground in no way means you are being remembered - seriously, does the stone look like you, does it talk, walk, think like you? - no, it's a hunk of rock with some random persons name on it wasting space.
And secondly - more natural: no it's not natural, natural would be to leave the body above ground to quickly be eaten by maggots etc.
I unfortunately have a Virgin Media connection, it sucks, the downloads are throttled http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Media#Bandwidth_throttling a lot, often to 1/4 speed. Uploads are currently going at a paltry 20-30KB/s - That's Over 6 hours to upload a 700MB CD!!!!!!!!!.
Slashdot Mirror
So training police to be death squads is OK you think?
If the USA didn't support any regime that murders and tortures its own people.......
It doesn't just support them politically it actually trains their police how to do this: Leaked U.S. Military Manual:
How to Train Death Squads and Quash Revolutions from San Salvador to Iraq.
That's besides the point because they're not paying for the damage caused to the economy by the fear of collapse they caused, also they make every penny back by taking advantage of the current financial conditions.
Theft of trade secrets from Goldman-Sachs

I have no webcam related plugins.
Any explanations as to why this might happen?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha, this just makes me laugh, this probably marks the beginning of the end for Facebook.. It'll be a slow death though.

Maybe there's going to be online activation and they want 3 days leeway to sort out whatever mess happens in case they haven't set it up properly!!!
Well if your butt says that then it must be true, I stand corrected.
That's not true, they've removed the status bar and the menus and a bunch of right click options.
Uh huh, not according to this:
Top ten browsers
And isn't there some privacy-enhanced version of chrome out there, that doesn't spy on you constantly?
NoScript extension has an option on the Advanced tab, under Untrusted: Forbid META redirections inside NOSCRIPT elements
Ah, that's the one, Some other nice options I never knew of too - Thanks
Hmmm, not the same for me - no-script didn't block the refresh to blogspot, Even with itworld and blogspot blocked.

Don't be silly, I have it on good authority it's going to be called Puu (pronounced Poo).
