The hang happens if you start a download to a sluggish server too. All the windows are stalled between the time you right-click "save target as", select a destination, and the download actually starts. Can't blame that one one 3rd party plug-ins (otherwise know as the Microsoft defense).
I understand your explanation (I program on occasion as well - mostly Perl). So you're saying the underlying architecture is the main reason that multi-threading is not practical. So in your opinion, why does FF freeze when one windows is being perhaps waiting on a pdf to open or waiting for a download to start from a sluggish server? Is it just poor design of the individual components that they can't handle simultaneous requests? I don't seem to have this problem with IE (which is multithreaded), Netscape or Opera.
I personally would prefer that the FF developers slow down in the race to add features and fix some of the know problems such as memory bloat and stability first.
"4. When one tab is 'busy' (opening a PDF, for example) the entire browser window freezes. This is a tough one, I understand, but not impossible."
This should not be impossible. In fact is should be simple. It means the FF programmers have no clue about programming threads in Windows.
They spray the surface so they can better judge their entry point into the water. Same notion as it being easier to tell how far away a dirty window pane is versus a clean one.
I did read what you said. Contrary to popular belief, rapidly rolling out patches or fixes is not always in the best interest of corporate level software. Without proper regression testing, you introduce a non-trivial risk that you will break something else. People scream bloody murder when MS rolls out a hasty patch that later causes a problem. Why is this any different?
So you have the ability to get minimally tested patches rolled out into the main stream pretty quickly. Sorry, I see that as a flaw because you may very well be introducing more bugs for the next person to have to patch.
Imagine if the soup kitchen down the street really did hand feed you and wipe you. Which one would you prefer? So you're saying that Firefox is of lower quality because it's free? That's heresy on Slashdot where most people blindly chant "open-source is better".
Besides, the likelyhood of the Mozilla developers accepting code fixes from an unknown person is pretty close to zero as it should be. Would you really blindly trust someone submitting revised code to fix a bug, or would you rather someone identify the problem and let you fix it yourself. This is one of the fundamental perceived flaws of open-source software - the lack of accountability.
It's not exactly hard to come buy. The public can buy it over the internet. http://www.unitednuclear.com/isotopes.htm A few hundred dollars buys you a nice lethal dosage.
No not really. We only have accurate climate data back maybe 100 years, and before that most of it is just generalized references in written documents. The truth is that myopic folks are looking at a tiny, tiny span of data and ignoring that the earth climate is subject to forces and influences that cycle over thousands or even millions of years. Looking at the bigger picture, we can see that the earth has been slowly warming since the ice age. They are just now admitting that the "ozone hole" appears to be cyclical and is actually getting smaller despite the increase of CFCs which they claim caused the problem.
Drinking cold water has a negative calorie effect. It has zero calories and it causes you to burn calories to warm it up to body temp. Now this new drink has a bunch of stimulants such as the teas and caffeines which raise your overall body activity level, and maybe burns a few more calories by making you hyper. No different than most of the so called "diet" pills that had sudafed and caffience. The only way to lose weight is to shift the calories equations. To lose fat, you have to burn more calories than you intake and exercise is almost essential to make this happen. As a reference, the race I ran last week I burned the equivalent of 3 snickers bars.
It doesn't really matter if the job offers are for mangerial, secretarial, or even janitorial duties. If its programming or network maintenance, I think I'd rather be associated with Google.
Yup, just configure your software firewall to prevent Outlook from hitting anything but email ports on your email server. The drawback is that forwarding messages with these links can hang Outlook while it tries to retrieve the images.
What if the DVD Format/Logo Licensing Corp refused to let them put the DVD logo on their product? If this copy protection renders DVDs unplayable on a large percentage of standalone players, then it would be in their interest to avoid the association of "DVD" with "unreadable" and "useless"
So we've learned that putting an unprotected windows box on the internet is a bad idea - well duh! It probably doesn't help that they didn't bother with any updates, or turning on the firewall.
What you see here is a prime example of deceptive research results. 100x power in this case, just means 100x the peak amperage available - not 100x the energy density. The misleading quote was probably intentional, so as to lure potential investors or grant writers into thinking this project is on the verge of a major breakthrough. The reality is that they are simply rehashing existing work looking for a different angle. They have not created anything better or even really different than what is already commercially produced, such as SuperCaps.
They are probably amassing a collection of MD5 sums or some other fingerprints. These of course would be derived from the collections previously seized. Then the ISPs would use somthing like Carvnivore to watch for these fingerprints on the wire. No different than the NSA tapping all the phone lines listening for key words. Oh wait, that was illegal too.
RI** has already proposed fingerprinting their songs and then pressuring the ISP to allow them to monitor key internet streams for their songs being traded. This is truly a 1984 Big Brother kinda thing to do. "You're under arrest sir, your ISP reported you downloading nude images of Gary Coleman!"
Yeah, but how many instances of MySQL are actually being used? Seems like it gets installed by default on a number of distros. A real statistic would be how many total rows are handles by Oracle versus MySQL. Personally I can't stand Oracle because their security sucks and they keep quietly announcing serious vulnerabilities and then making it difficult to get the patches.
The leftover radiation would certainly shutdown the seaport for quite a while. Don't you think that shutting down several of our major seaports would have a significant impact to the US economy. We are still dealing with the seaport problems leftover from Katrina.

I was under the impression that regular cryptography was used and it was the quantum hocus-pocus that was used to setup and exchange the session keys?

The NSA wiretapping program already has this.

You could certainly prove that the equation is wrong or incomplete.
==> 451-Could not complete sender verify callout for .
==> From: "Rodolfo Borges"
Isn't the FROM line missing an actual domain name, which would explain the "callout for ___" error?

The patent doesn't mention FTL travel, just implies propulsion by warping space.
