Comment So.... (Score 2) 187

So I should probably think about updating all the machines I have running Firefox 2.0.0.20?

We have a bunch of older Mac running 10.3.9 that can't even update to Firefox 3.6 because it requires 10.4.

I thought the whole point of Firefox was that it was supposed to have lower system requirements than IE.

Who the hell spends $200 on a damn phone and then quibbles about paying $1 for an app?

I don't know anyone that agonizes over buying a $1 app. If it's a $5 app maybe, but if there is a free, gimped demo version I can try and I end up liking it, I've got no problem dropping the $5 for the full version.

Please - give him one term. Let him trim the federal government - you can always build it back up in a few years. Think of it as a giant refactoring project.

Electing Ron Paul wouldn't change anything because no one in Congress would be stupid enough to pass any of his crazy-ass ideas, except maybe Michelle Bachmann and hopefully she'll be out after the next election.

Whenever I am maxing out my cheapo WiFi router, sometimes I can hear a very slight humming from the router

Similarly, if its very quiet, under certain conditions I can hear slight noises from my laptop (not the Fan or HDD, seems to come from the CPU), and sometimes from CRT TV's

I wonder if their issue is something like this

I can never hear those noises over the voices in my head.

Case in point, when I was a kid nobody was allergic to peanuts. Now it's two in every three people and I can't eat peanuts on the plane in case tiny particles get into the air cycler (I'm not saying there are NO people with this allergy, as it is a demonstrable allergy, but it's almost certainly one or two orders of magnitude less than people claim).

And why are we sheltering these people? It's a genetic defect, let natural selection take it's course. We shouldn't be allowing them to breed and create more people allergic to peanuts.
