the purpose of doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox"

Lol, replaced one bit of ambiguous rationalization with another, which holds no weight anyway. When it comes down to it, you'll use any collected data any way you wish to do whatever you want, and thumb tour nose at the users who helped you get there.

Nah, you stepped all in it on this one, and really exposed yourself and your intentions, especially since many of us have been around since before WWW even existed.

Firefox is becoming Microsoft Office for the Mac. And if you don't understand that, you probably weren't alive at the time.


I'd send this to Mozilla/FF, but it's a waste of bits.

Define "winter".

I've survived the coldest in the lower 48. Chicago, DC, Baltimore, Philly, etc, winters genwralky don't get below zero and stay there for 2 months.

Then places like Colorado, Utah, 4 corners states, etc, are pretty mild really. They get cold, but don't stay cold, and lots of sun.

Montana, the Dakotas, those have bitter winters.

-32 F or C?

Though that low they're getting pretty close.

Well, virtualizatiin systems tend to run at root level, since they need to emulate things like processors (yea, that's not the only way, but business-class virtualizatiin is done at the OS level).

So Linux is insecure?

Every programming language in existence?

The venerable C language, which can be argued to be the basis of most general computing today?

The violation they target users for is sharing a video, and that's usually through a file sharing service like torrenting.

Think of it this way - whatever you watch online via a browser you're already downloading. Or via an app.

You know, it really tweaks me that torrenting is associates with piracy, when it could've become the defacto way to share files between users, if OS devs had just included the protocol in the OS (looking at you Android, but Windows and Apple too).

I've often questioned why it wasn't...

I've found using a blow dryer works pretty well, and helps keep the wax liquid until the cloth can absorb it (often it's linseed mixed with beeswax, the linseed really makes a difference). The extra heat seems to help the fibers remain soft and the liquid flowing, while driving off the excess solvent

This is called tincloth, if OP's interested.

My experience with it - makes for a heavy material that is rain resistant, not proof.

If you've ever tried on a Western Duster coat, you know how heavy that stuff is.

I have a couple tincloth hats, works great for that, but I've had to retreat them annually, use a lot of wax when doing it, and they're still only rain resistant. Water will eventually work it's way in.

So promote violence?

Seems like that just provides justification for the powers-that-be to respond with violence... And they have the backing of institutional power.

That's an everyone-loses paradigm.

Very cool shot.

And who puts a phone number on a windows with no dashes?
