I still prefer kobo and wait eagerly for the next release.

You have to be kidding.

Menu bar, Firefox Menu/Options/Menu bar
Status bar, Ctrl+/

You have already been answered about protocol, and I have not seen poor performance, memory usage could be better, but it is clear you are ignorant of Firefox and blowing it out of proportion.

Aren't Oracle and Apache at odds about Harmony

After all, Oracle did all it could to kill Apache Harmony.
Why would Apache take OpenOffice like that! It may be a trap and it wouldn't be the first time.

The near-immortal psychic robot is not part of the original trilogy. Is part of the despicable books that came before to link it to the robots series. (which are less awful that the gaia bullshit that came to illustrate the future after the original trilogy)

Off course you won't be able to see the moon landing site.
Some will tell you is because of resolution.
I say it is because New Mexico is not in the moon.

You may be young and not be aware that are other things besides http.
Back in the day ftp, telnet, gopher, where common stuff, you had to specify to avoid confusion.
Right now," www" is not even necessary in most of the case.
Have you ever wondered why this site has the name it has? It is because of the slash slash and the dot (in those days there were more .edu and .org than .com assuming .com was not your first assumption)

You don't get it, it is a contest. On who can produce the best greasemonkey script to fix this horror. The winner will get an all web 2.0 no plain html, no unicode, fixed with frames for the rest of his/her life.

Wait, are you saying McDonalds is not evil?
I thought it was the sole responsible for fattening up everybody. That alone makes it more evil than Burger King and Microsoft combined.
Oh, sorry you are saying that McDonalds could or could not be evil, just not because an employee is evil.
Hold it, what if the employee robs a bank because of brain damage obtained of all the fat and the "would you like fries" he got at McDonalds?

MS will provide information only "after our investigative and remediation cycle is completed..." In other words, after the vulnerability is discovered and fixed, and the patch is ready to roll out.

Then, "disclosure will happen just prior to our security update release cycles."

So the disclosure amounts to this:

"Tomorrow's MS Windows Update contains a security patch that fixes a serious vulnerability in your system. Oh, by the way, you have a serious vulnerability in your system."

I can, but I don't imagine that most of my audience would be willing to do so for two reasons:

• A family might not have a spare PC to dedicate to use with a TV, and it's a pain in the behind to haul it back and forth between the TV and the computer desk and keep plugging and unplugging cables. As for buying a second PC to keep by the TV, national brand PCs with NVIDIA graphics tend to cost significantly more than a game console.
• Sure, just about every HDTV can take the VGA and HDMI signals from a PC. But at the end of the last holiday season, 54 percent of US households with a TV still had only an SDTV, and these SDTVs won't likely be replaced until they fail. Unlike PCs, consoles have SDTV output as standard equipment without having to by an obscure $40 adapter cable. I could mention this adapter in a game's manual, but would that be enough?

Same here. Except I don't even drive. I live in New York City, and the majority of my trips are made by bus. When someone else is paying for it (interviews and the like), I'll go by train. Taking the bus costs 10-15% of what plane fare would cost, and with security the way it is and overcrowded airport takeoff schedules, the four hour travel time by bus is roughly the same as flying. Taking the train is the best for time, but costs a lot more than the bus (at least $100, as much as $200).

No seriously, how many people came here just to post that same silly "if you are broadcasting your data..." argument?

Slashdot should always allow you to moderate someone redundant (with heavy metamoderation) or allow people to mod themselves redundant, maybe a system to offer another poster all your child posts if you realize you are just repeating the same things.

Aaaaaaany way, I don't think the government should have access to such info precisely for the same reason I don't want Google to have it and in fact, part of my complain against Google's data mining is that it enables governments to outsource fascism.

My policy is that, anything you don't want your government to do, or you don't want them to do without a warrant, you don't want a corporation to do freely either.

The "broadcasting your data..." is silly for reasons I won't get into in this post.

That's not true, I'll use Firefox until someone else duplicates the functionality of Firebug. I just don't see the browser as some sort of panacea.

Most of the people I've "friended" are in other States. I never "friend" someone I see more than once a week, because I connect IRL. But I've got friends I've known since 1970 that I keep in touch with on FB. And FB was wonderful when a friend got deployed to Iraq.
