And in case you don't already know, when you fly you should go out of your way to wear natural fibers. Never wear artificial fibers. For women, wearing hose is especially bad. All too often, hose becomes permanently bonded to the flesh in even minor flash-overs, which would otherwise not necessarily be life threatening or even disfiguring. The result of wearing hose can be horribly disfiguring. Besides, most natural fibers have a natural resistance to burning, tend to burn less vigorously when they do burn, and frequently have less resistance to their removal than artificial fibers, such as poly-blends. Cotton is your friend.

Servicey! Also interesting, considering that most flight crew uniforms are pretty darn polyester.

Or Christian Slater? Trouble is no one would ask him these days. Also there was that little quip about how the new suit might not stand up to a big cat, and they're gonna need a new female lead... so they might throw her in on the periphery.

Firefox 2 Launch - Interview With Chris Beard 270

ReadWriteWeb writes "This afternoon Firefox 2 will be 'officially' launched. In anticipation of the unveiling, ReadWriteWeb has a brief interview with Chris Beard — Mozilla Vice President of Products. Subjects discussed include the growing enterprise usage of Firefox, the importance of user experience and security, Mozilla's theory behind Web feeds and why they haven't included an integrated RSS Reader, the growing add-on ecosystem, offline browsing, and finally a little about the future of the browser." From the article: "It felt to us like a 2.0 product, particularly if we looked at it from what 1.0 was, to 2.0. It was like half steps, from 1.0 to 1.5 to 2.0. It's also a very stable and rock solid release - it's really ready for the masses. So it really does feel like a 2, as opposed to a 1.x product. Firefox 2 has, we estimate, between 3-4 times the number of fixes than FF 1.5 did. And that doesn't just include fixes and bugs, but all of the feature work as well as memory, stability and security issues. But there's certainly a lot in it which makes it really solid." Also on the site is a concise review of the product, and an overview of Marketing Firefox 2.0.
