No matter; it was in the article. (blush) "Firefox" "Firefox was back at this year’s Pwn2Own after missing last year, seemingly because the browser would’ve been too easy to hack. Things have changed a little since then, though; Firefox has gained some partial sandboxing capabilities. Two hacking attempts were made against Mozilla’s browser during the contest. Only one succeeded through an integer overflow in Firefox and an uninitialized buffer in the Windows kernel to elevate system privileges."

Does anyone have the results for Ff? Was it included?

Not great. Now Google will have unrestricted access to my activity. Right now, I can download a 'log out' app to unhitch me from the forced marrriage to Google. This will be Google's work around for that, too; an unavoidable, continuous login.

That sounds like typical denialist diversion. We DO know that adding heat to a fluid body does increase motion. Not buying "higher temperature = more vigourous" motion is denying thermodynamics. Care to posit an alternative theory?

I'll take the opportunity to re-state this: Global Warming is an accurate but misleading appellation. Warming a fluid system, such as a planet's atmosphere or water in a pot, results in more, and more vigourous motion. Weather will become more violent. Some places will get colder or wetter. Larger weather systems will mean, at times, more icy air will be swept from the poles into the temperate zones and similarly sweep warmer air to the poles. It will be disastrous and expensive. People who rarely see frost will get heavy snow, like us, today. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/5443420/Major-weather-disruption-around-NZ

That's not the silliest parliamentary crap:

Here's a YouTube mashup of the speech given in parliament by one of the committee members who considered this amendment to the bill, saying that file-sharing is illegal.

Any file-sharing, as she reads it. The mashup is of National list MP Katrina Shanks ("I think I'm fairly savvy about computers...my son's got an iPad") and Miss North Carolina ("I think American education should help the eye-rack and the Asian countries").

Laughable.

Hat Tip: Public Address: Russell Brown's Hard News

Dear Firefox. Don't worry, Chrome is a browser for amateurs. If you're looking for more real estate up top, I'd be quite happy with the address going in the status bar. The status bar that I had to put back in, thanks to the last improvement. I'd actually like the extra real estate. Right now I've got my address bar in with tabs, and it gets squashed to useless. There's still plenty of space in the status -- sorry -- 'add-on' bar. Thanks.

An aside, but Do schools in the US give/lend laptops to kids? Is this normal? "... officials brag that they give every one of their 1800 high-schoolers laptop computers"
