Not sure I believe you... Because I just tried and it works fine. Also, I'm not sure that you are talking about the same thing. From the changelog:: http://noscript.net/changelog (IIRC, these were just a few days apart).
v 1.9.2.3
+ A "NoScript development support filterset" gets added to AdBlock
Plus, whitelisting the noscript.net, flashgot.net, informaction.com
and hackademix.net web sites recently broken by an aggressive
EasyList campaign against sites sponsoring NoScript development.
ABP users are informed both on the install and on the release notes
pages, so they can easily disable the filterset if they whish to.
v 1.9.2.5
+ One-time startup prompt to ask users *beforehand* if they want to
install/keep or permanently delete the AdBlock Plus "NoScript
Development Support Filterset" deployed with NoScript 1.9.2.3
and above
v 1.9.2.6
+ NoScript now automatically removes the controversial "NoScript
Development Support Filterset" deployed with NoScript 1.9.2.3 and
above on startup, permanently and with no questions asked.
This is aside from the fact that I only see a couple tiny squares of ads on the page - nothing flashy or obtrusive. And I may be wrong, but I believe you can adjust in the settings somewhere so the noscript page does not even come up with each update... never tried because I like reading what was changed.
I must say I keep skipping the updates to NoScript since the dust-up with AdBlockPlus began. I'll stay on the old version that doesn't attempt to hijack my ABP settings, thankyouverymuch!
They reverted that change almost immediately (with the next update). There was even a note of apology from the developer... you are safe to update.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Sheindlin She may look fake, but she's a judge, although retired now. However; the cases are *real*, albeit her rulings are in the form of binding arbitration that both sides agreed to. Personally, I think she is extremely irritating and do not watch that show. I don't need to hear from a judge to know that 'being an ass' is not, by itself, illegal though.
I'm no biologist either, but isn't the "regular garden-variety flu that we get every year" a new strain (or more than one) every year? And don't they have a new vaccine for the strain they expect to be prevalent that particular flu season?
So wouldn't it be great if the spread was halted long enough for a vaccine for this new strain to be developed?
It's the greatest open source contributor (Solaris, Java, OpenOffice, the SPARC architecture itself, NetBeans, ZFS... and I'm sure missing some, as Sun gave away HUGE amounts of stuff).
That is one of the things I really love about them. However, I have heard it postulated by many people that they waited too long to go that route. Waiting so long to open source Solaris prevented them from competing with Linux effectively in the server OS market. And, while you certainly can, not many buy a SUN box to run Red Hat (or whatever).
I don't own any stock. I also would not know exactly what they need to do... I sort of thought they were getting back on the right track just before the recession hit. I thought the push towards open source was a great idea, if quite belated. Also the Sun/Microsoft Windows Server OEM deal (September 12, 2007, just as the economy was about to really slide) was a huge shift in attitude from the bitter rivalry of the past. That was obviously in the works for some time, and (imho) a good idea, but again late.
Am I the only one that hopes Sun changes it's mind about selling itself and succeeds on its own? I know they have made some big strategic errors that have gotten them where they are now, but it is a solid company (imho) with, from what I've seen, superior products. Grossly undervalued for some time now.
Well, okay, an epidural isn't quite as deep as a spinal tap, but the difference is millimeters.
Dude. I'm no doctor, and I've never had a spinal tap, but it seems like a few millimeters might be a whole hell of a lot more painful when you are talking about drilling into the spinal column. Just my guess though.
Now that was funny, but he's got a point. Every time a story like this is posted, someone has to complain that it made the front page. Personally, I read lots of tech-related blogs (Engadget, Gizmodo, Wired, etc.) daily, and/. is the only place I find news about Ubuntu releases. This release may even be the final kick in the pants I need to try and dual boot my laptop. (I tried a live CD of 8.10 and the CPU and fan seemed to be pegged while it was idle for some reason so I never went for it).
Now that I've actually RTFA (or one of them anyway)...
For example, Forslof said that one researcher had prepared an exploit for a vulnerability on a BlackBerry Touch emulator, but the BlackBerry model used in the contest was the Bold. "There was enough difference [between the two] that his exploit wasn't working," said Forslof.
So, like I said earlier, you had a point, and I think you are right to assume the current iPhone. Still wondering what the other three were.
Yeah, you certainly have a point. And hey, I could be wrong, it was just how I read the GP's comment (probably because I wanted to know about the hardware myself).
I think you are missing the GP's point that they only named two of the five devices... "windows, symbian, android" gives no indication of the phones they were running on.
The police stated that in order for this person to have rights she needed to either have her name on the lease, or some proof that she had paid utilities or other expenses related to the residence. Since she never paid a dime towards anything, the police removed her.
Dude, seriously... no offense, I know this is/., and reading TFA is out of the question, but how about reading the comment you are replying to?;)
Keep in mind, I'm not saying you can't get some local sheriff or whatever to do this, it's just not within their legal right (again, generally).
Local cops are NOT lawyers, judges, constitutional scholars, etc... They do have guns and handcuffs, so I generally agree that doing what they say is a good idea, but that does not make all their actions legal.
Turning someone out onto the street on the spot without an eviction notice or some other court type order is GENERALLY ILLEGAL (in all the states I've lived in anyway). Tenants have more rights than most of them know.
OK, perhaps, but replace car with house in his analogy, and the reverse is true. Yours or not, it is not possible (generally) to legally immediately remove someone from a residence they have been in for some time (provided that person has not broken any other laws). Keep in mind, I'm not saying you can't get some local sheriff or whatever to do this, it's just not within their legal right (again, generally).
Shouldn't we have off-the-shelf components and some semblance of a mass-production system for them by now?
I would posit that spaceX is among the first to attempt just that. I for one have been rooting for their success, as I think they can bring a revolution of sorts that is sorely needed in the field.
This is exactly what I came here to say (though not as articulately, I've had a few drinks). Did they not watch their own videos? Sadly I don't have much constructive to add, other than a wholehearted agreement with your stance.
Perhaps your eyes aren't perfectly in sync? My brother had this as a child (one eye would wander around while the other was looking straight ahead. The doctors 'cured' it by having him wear an eye patch for a while to strengthen the weak eye. He looks fine but he's never been able to see 3D images or movies.
Yeah, I read the article, I know renewable energy sources aren't mentioned. That was kind of my point. If they want to reduce their carbon footprint, they should look in another direction. Seriously, just on a practical level, the energy it takes to grow the animals has to offset any 'savings' gained.

Whenever a cop roughs someone up, a police-watcher would be there with a camera to put it all on tape. Try to negate that in court!

Not to rain on your parade, but last I heard catching police brutality on tape doesn't necessarily mean much will be done about it.

Yeah, but the URL does not. http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid= 09/04/24/141241 -- If you can get that confused with 1909... well, I can't help you.

Here's hoping Jeff did not leave any evidence of who the informants are on his computer...

The most effed up thing I've seen in a while. Who in their right mind would think this is better than wind or solar power?
