You can digitally sign installers on windows, too. It's not quite as good as a trusted repository which can assert that something is safe (rather than just whom it's from), but it does let you know who created it.
It's a bit more complex than that. Apart those mentioned in the grandparent, which would most definitely take more than five minutes to do, you have to modify code for more things: content preferences (like zoom and text size), DOM storage (which is basically cookies on steroids), phishing/malware checking, disk cache, link colouring, favicons...
Maybe not a huge change (the current patch is about 100KB in size), but I think some of these things would be somewhat difficult (if not impossible) to do via extensions.
They should have asked the OOXML people to help out.

Floating Cities On Venus
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Additionally, Venus' rotational period is too long. Venusian days are on the order of two hundred and forty Earth days.
Which is one of the really cool things about floating cities. The wind in Venus's upper atmosphere is really fast (up to 95 m/s). A floating city would be pushed along the sky by the wind, making the days considerably shorter.
Next time I'm just going to demand that anyone who wants to register for my site will have to send me a formal written request, signed and dated, with at least two good references and a registration history.
What exactly do they have to gain by sending thousands of messages to one person (and this sounds like it was from one source)? Are they just trying to evade the spam filter, or do they perhaps think that if they just send enough, finally you'll start to believe them?
You could always use View Selection Source or DOM inspector (which I believe is now an extension on addons.mozilla.org instead) or one of the other tools that do a fine job of this.
Who the hell commits a crime with pair of books on crime in their vehicle, and then leave it all there for someone to find. Programmers know too much about allocation and management of objects to not destroy them when its detrimental they no longer exist. Maybe he was foiled by non-deterministic Garbage Collection.
Oooh, I'm *excited* about the latest Firefox. Maybe this one will have GREAT features, like "not deleting my bookmarks and javascript whitelist when I update*.
Considering both of these are now stored in SQLite databases, it should be significantly better at failing to delete your bookmarks.
No, not really. ActionMonkey (the project integrating Tamarin/Spidermonkey as part of Moz2) is not ready yet by a long way. According to the "old" timeline, though, there should be a Firefox 4/Moz2 alpha out in Q2 2008 (though I'm not sure I'd trust any timeline from Mozilla, old or new;-)

Let's not forget the time the PRS sued the police! This is all getting rather silly.
It's actually based on Mojave. Do your research.
I hope it also supports WHATWG-style offline apps. I don't much fancy installing Gears just to get something my browser already has.

You're right! I just saw the poster!

Replace "outsourced call centre" with "CAPTCHA for gmail", and you'll have spammers rushing to solve the problem for you.
Kingons and Queons are believed to travel faster than the speed of light, but I hear it's quite difficult to harness their power.
Don't you know, ripping CDs is illegal? (Ha ha only serious, as it is actually illegal in the UK... which is really quite alarming.)

That should keep the bots out, right?
http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/ lists some of the changes. The beta 5 code freeze was apparently March 19th.
Ah, I see. Funny, I've never had any of that, even though I have a catch-all set up.

Spam confuses the wossname out of me.

Show the bookmarks toolbar, if it is hidden, and move it from the bookmarks toolbar onto the navigation toolbar.

And XP SP3 installs Vista. Ho ho ho.
Probably metamoderation. At least, I think they still have that. I can't find it, but I'm low bandwidth mode.
