We should just make a foundation that goes around and sues companies that make auto installing toolbars, maybe hire some layers to pull them through the mud, using despicable legal tricks to stall the case and cost them money.
Small claims court cases submitted out of town or to a minor employee so when they ignore it you autowin.

WHY is it grayed out? WHY MOZILLA? Tell us?

This is not acceptable, the button should always be enabled even if the file is a plugin and resides outside of mozilla's profile folders, have a delete plugin file button. When you click it if you don't have the user rights to delete the file it should automatically throw a user escalation prompt.
How hard is it to get this right? COME ON!

While we are at it forbid installation of plugins and extensions without direct user approval from inside firefox. What OTHER installers are doing to firefox shouldn't be trusted, not at all.

Not enough, damned expert's exchange! I had to download a grease monkey script and everything, seriously screw those guys. And have you tried searching for a name of an executable? "HURRR CLICK HERE TO FIX XYZ.EXE RELATED ERRORS"
NO! I just want relevant information on the damn executable not traps for computer illiterate people and the shovel ware the sites are peddling.

Have you read on the work some people are doing into reducing radioactive elements to less dangerous ones with high strength lasers? It's great stuff. If we expand on that technology we could further minimize the toxic footprint of the nuclear power plants.

That would be the logical thing to do, but noooooh the world is full of simpletons who can't FATHOM several things working at the same time.

I thought getting into people's business was a big no in Japan, and only people that get a perverse kick out of sticking their noses in other people's business do it all the time. Sort of like public trolls, because they know people are inherently more private.

And people wonder why i don't leave any personal information online anymore.

How about people get off their asses and pass laws that make farming e-mail addresses of people from the internet a crime punishable by imprisonment? Further a host that sends spam is disconnected from the internet. How much spam needs to be sent can be determined by the large e-mail providers like Gmail, Yahoo,msn and what have you else. A national(international if you will) database of spammers can be made and the top X off the list get their ips disconnected.

Yeah, i was thinking more along the lines of click happy parents' computers.

Do they have on file access scanners now? They didn't use to.

The USBOP - US Federal bureau of prisons.
Yes they are making an example out of him. Some one should spike them for it all over the media.

His mad skills at answering security questions based on public information? I agree with you though, that kid should have gotten at most several months of public work.

You can always replace those you know, even with keys with no markings.

What's worse is because of draconian drm the games themselves work at least one third better compared to with the drm sucking up valuable ms coding and decoding things. The worst offender is by far Valve's steam platform on older hardware. I have a friend that owns the entire valve release catalog from one of their series, but chooses to play the single player stuff cracked and without steam running. I've seen the fps output from cl_showfps and net_graph.

It realizes the futility of it's existence and chooses to self terminate before Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks the entire apartment block, house cul-de-sac.
