I don't see why the US government wouldn't subcontract these sorts of things. In fact, it makes a lot of sense to offload the hosting of an anti-piracy site to the private sector as you know it's going to get DDOSed and attacked.
The fennec process lingering happens only sometimes, I think it has to do with whether I'm running other apps, and because i closed it because it appeared to be hanging. I'll try to find a way to reliably reproduce it and file a bug when I do.
Luckily the phone gets pretty hot when fennec doesn't close properly, so I know something's up when it happens
Use the hardware volume keys to zoom in and out in increments.
Which pisses me off as I want to use those keys to change the volume (but this isn't just Firefox doing this, MicroB and the photo viewer use them as zoom buttons too).
I wish Mozilla implemented the swirl thing for the n900, though, but maybe Nokia patented it or something.
I've installed it on my n900, but it's unusably slow, especially compared to MicroB, which is the default browser on Maemo (which also uses the gecko engine). It takes ages to start up, uses up all the CPU, and it takes 5 minutes before you finally managed to load a page. Also, after you close the browser, there's a 'fennec' process still using all the CPU cycles and draining your battery.
Too bad, because I do like its feature set: Firefox sync, addons, etc, but I'll stick to MicroB until they find a solution to the CPU use issue.
This is a preference in compiz. If you install compiz settings manager (ccsm), you can change this. Start it, click the 'move window' button, and uncheck 'constrain Y'.
This is the bug report on the default setting, if you want to vote for it..
Shareaza's EFF appointed legal counsel has been paid off by Discordia and has abandoned the case. The legal counsel was "pro bono" (free) as the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) asked Barbara Friedman's firm, Hanson Bridgett, to take on the case. It is unethical that she stops giving us counsel while we are in the MIDDLE of a settlement of getting the original domain back. However, I applaud the Electronic Frontier Foundation for helping us in the first place and continuing to help us through this difficult time. All donations to us and to them, are appreciated.
The Shareaza team is urging users to call Barbara L. Friedman (the FORMER Counsel) or to call the EFF and complain that the team urgently needs new council
Why do you even need to prefetch images? I haven't needed to do that in years. If you use it for rollovers, look into using css sprites. If it's for some fancy javascript stuff, use the javascript image object. If it's something else, please share.
