Have you thought of unpacking the tar.gz into/usr/lib/firefox-1.5/ and then changing the symbolic links in/usr/bin??? Worked for me, dont make things harder than they have to be, and then complain about them being too hard.
thanks for the reply, i love turning slashdot into a support forum
I did have the check box checked. I followed all the instructions to the T. Bottom line, something was muffed up because I was getting a lot of javascript errors for no reason, most noticebly on the "start up page" where it asked me to choose my language. I'd click save settings and it would say... "thank you come again" (not really, it said done loading but with errors [equally useless]).
Sooooo... as a last ditched effort I found some tip on removing IE7 by cutting the IE Programs folder to another destination and letting the install recopy those files. This solved the "version already installed error" The install copied over the files and after a restart I had a fully functioning version of IE 7 beta. Funny thing is now I'm able to remove it the way Microsoft suggested, and that's exactly what I'm doing.
Go figure, 10 minutes of playing with a broken IE7 and 90 minutes trying to get back to a working version. Talk about being productive.
Uhhhhhhhh, yeeeeeeeeeeeah....
Doesn't work for me.
There is no IE7 Beta Preview or such in Windows XP - Software Updates..., at least for me. And I do believe I'm looking in the right place. And get this... System Restore doesn't work either. And even using "uninstall windows components" and "removing internet explorer" does not work, because it never really does uninstall IE (it rather hides it).
Running a V6 setup does not work because it says a newer version is installed and explains how to remove it via the way you suggested.
Do yourself a favor and wait until the production release comes out. Heres to repairing my windows partition.
Something I've never understood about having the ability charge portable devices on the road. I can somewhat understand using the last hour of juice on your laptop to charge up your ipod but what would you do with a burnt out computer and a fully charged bt mouse. If you're a true "road warrior" wouldn't you use your trackpad in lue of wasting precious minutes of battery that could be used to check your myspace messages one more time? And if you're at home with a an ac adapter, is it that much trouble to put your bt mouse back on the charging dock once every few days?
I suppose while we're at it we should teach people to manually examine every IP packet they recieve?
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the purpose of phishing to send out a gajillion emails and hope that.00923% bite on them? Educating users on the ability to detect fraudulent emails would go a long way. They are actually relying on you to be stupid/gullable. 99% of the people who fall for email fruad aren't the type of people who know what ssl is.

Educate as many people as you can. And when they laugh at your paranoia, be content in knowing that your tin foil hate keeps the government from listening in on your thoughts.
Educate your users. The most effective way to stop phishing is to educate the "phish". If you put your users in a constant state of awareness and teach them to never, ever, ever give out their credit card over the phone/internet unless they have initiated the transaction.
Unlike Safari, MS Office has no "real" counterpart on the mac... as of yet. I say that owning a copy of keynote2 and pages. Unlike IE for the Mac, MS Office for the Mac has a big lead on that market, and I think they will continue to support office well into your mid-life crisis. I use Office 2004 for my mac, and I haven't seen any tie-ins with IE. Although my install disc did come with msn messenger. Luckily uninstalling IE on the mac is a simple drag and drop in the trash can away.
Yes, the first ammendment does garauntee freedom of speech. That is a fundamental right. However attending a private university is not. The school has a right as a private institution to hold its members to certain standards. Just as a boss has the right to fire you if you choose not to obey "their" dress code. Is their dress code a law or is it required by the constition? No, but its their policy as stated in an employee contract that you chose to sign. Just as, I assume the student in question signed an enrollment application.
I guess the point I was trying to say was that perl has exploits. No your "hello world" script cannot be exploited. But the program/language used to make it can.
I'm not really sure I get your point, other than I guess I'm retarded.
Shirley, you must have forgotten internal webmail. Whatever mail server the FBI is running most likely has support for the web. Just saying webmail, doesn't mean yahoo/hotmail/gmail.
It truly cannot. OpenBSD may be quicker and more efficient at patching their software. But by definition, a patch is something used to repair something that is broke. The day OpenBSD stops coming out with patches, then I will believe it can be done.
with its massive army of programmers and massive budget -- patch all of its vulnerabilities?
This is impossible. With patches, new releases, and updates there will always be new bugs introduced, some exploitable, some not. No program will ever be invulnerable to malicious attacks. As long as a person made it another person can break it. Maybe micro$oft could be doing better at realeasing patches, but it will never be error free. And that goes for all software.
I'm an avid firefox supporter but as the firefox user base grows so will the "AIM, eBay, and Amazon toolbar for firefox" and such. Adblock is a great extension, but at least for me , it doesn't work completely as advertised(some flash ads are unblockable ). And to think that Adblock or other such extensions will cure the pop-up/ad bug is being very optomistic. Web Ads change with the software running them. Example is when IE came out with pop up blocker, now a lot of websites I visit are using CSS overlays as an alternative.
As long as there are companies willing to pay top dollar to have their ads shown, guess what? Your gonna see them. This is afterall how a lot of websites make their money. Would slashdot continue to serve us if their weren't getting paid for it? You'd like to think so, but that answer is no. As long as you can stay in that tiny ~3% of the population with ad removal software that works and is free then you've got nothing to worry about... Until the web sites find a new way to exploit it.
What's your alternative? A mid-sized pc case running mythtv with cords coming out every which way? Or a mid-sized pc case running XP-MCE?
Personally the white will fit in nicely with my whole sliver/glass component case setup. And maybe with apple's use of black with the ipod nano and ipod and rumors of colors for the shuffle we will see the first Black/Gray/or at least non-white pc built from apple.
Samsung is planning on releasing a hybrid flash/disk drive in the second half of 2006, which is around the same time as Vista. The hybrid drive is said to use 10% less power by reducing spin up times and also reducing hd failure caused by dropping. When the flash memory is full the data is then written to disk.
What will they think of next?
Why do these machines have to be two different products? Most people buying MCE PCs are hooking them directly to their primary tv set and if not use an xbox as an extender to the primary tv. I understand that MCE PCs can do a lot more than just MCE applications (word processing, internet, chat) but how hard would it be to put a tv tuner card IN the xbox and have the same functionality?
I mean if they really want to get into peoples living rooms, an all in one solution is where they should start. Buying two seperate products and then buying an additional extender to me looks like they're trying to squeeze every last penny out of the consumer.
Actually OS X has had multi-button mouse features built into it since at least jaguar. Contextual menus are not a new thing by any means to tiger. IMO apple advocates the one-button cause it's just different and sexy, and if apple is two things...
Actually I've never come across an application made by anyone where all features were not reachable with a single button mouse and use of the ctrl or alt(opt) key. And if THAT is Apple's UI philosophy, the try getting info for any icon on your desktop without opening finder and chaning views in the menu.
My two cents? Looks and sounds great but where's the wireless model?
