Bug#319074: mozilla-firefox: Freezes on a specific page

Niklas Vainio Tue, 19 Jul 2005 11:35:07 -0700

Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.5-1
Severity: important

Firefox freezes when I go to http://hietanen.typepad.com/copyfraud/ in
its current form. I have had no problems with this site before when
using Firefox 1.0.4. Today I started having the problem with 1.0.4 and
also with 1.0.5-1.


The problem only occurs if I open the page in the current tab but not
if I open it in a new tab with the middle mouse button. I made a local
copy of the page (attached). The problem also occurs if I open the
local file. I tried linting the local file and opening that but it
doesn't help.

The program freezes with the message "Waiting for
hietanen.typepad.com..." on the status line. Strace shows it is stuck
in some kind of loop:

Free as in Free beer

Link: ..::...Vores ØL...::...

We are "Vores ØL Group", a group of students at the IT-University in Copenhagen and have created Our Beer in collaboration with Superflex as an experiment in applying modern open source ideas and methods on a traditional real-world product (beer).

Recipe for approx. 85 ltr. Vores Øl (Our Beer) (approx. 6% alchohol by volume).

Malt extract

For Vores Øl we use four types malted barley:

6 kg pilsner malt

4 kg münsner malt

1 kg caramel malt

1 kg lager malt

The malt is crushed and put in 55-60°C hot water for 1-2 hours.

The mixture is filtered and the liquid now contains about 10 kg malt extract.

Taste and sugar

Besides malt we use:

60 g Tetnang bitter hops

50 g Hallertaver aroma hops

300 g Guarana beans

4 kg sugar

(Guarana beans can typically be bought at health food stores).

The malt extact is brought to a boil in a large pot with the hops and approx. 70 ltr. of water.

After half an hour, the Guarana beans and sugar is added.

The mixture simmers for about an hour, and is then filtered and cooled in a sealed container.

Fermentation

Yeast is added and the beer is fermented at room temperature for approx. 2 weeks.

When the beer is fully fermentet it is transferred to bottles. First 4 g sugar is added per liter and some yeast from the bottom of the fermentation tanks for priming.

Vores Øl is then left in the bottles at room temperature for 8-10 days for carbonation. Then the beer is ready to enjoy; cold and refreshing.

Joke is over!

A online joke site is down. It was accused of distributing antisemitist jokes. Apparently the aim of the site was to collect all the jokes possible to the site. The site had several categories and one of them was jokes about jews. He is commenting the takedown on his site:

Syynä tähän on saamani syyte "kiihotuksesta kansanryhmiä vastaan". Koska sivuston alkuperäinen tarkoitus, kerätä kaikki mahdolliset vitsit näille sivuille on mahdotonta, en näe muuta mahdollisuutta kuin lopettaa sivuston ylläpito. Sensuroitua sivustoa en halua alkaa ylläpitämään, huomenna kun ruotsalaiset tai blondit voivat nostaa syytteen minua vastaan.

Here is one from jewish jokes website

There was an amazing accident involving a Rabbi and a Priest. The cars are completetly shaterred though the Rabbi and the Preist don't even bare a scratch on them The Preists looks at the rabbi's kippa and says:
"Oh You're a Rabbi"
Then the Rabbi looks at the Preists collar and says:
"Oh You're a Priest"
"Yes" Amswered the Priest
"Well look at this both of our cars are shattered to bits, but none of us bare a scratch this must be a sign of G-D that we should be friends"
"Yes this is a sign" exclaimed the Priest
The Rabbi notices in his car that a wine bottle with a Mogen David on it isn't broken"
"Look" The rabbi points to the bottle, he continues "My wine bottle isn't shattered this must be a sign from G-D that we should drink this to commemerate that we are friends"
"Yes this must be a sign" says the priest who takes the bottle from the Rabbi's car and starts to drink until he is half-way done with the bottle then hands it to the rabbi, where the Rabbi takes it and closes the bottle.
"Aren't you going to have a sip Rabbi"
"Nahh..... I think I'll wait for the police"

rms vs creative commons @ copyright2005 :: July :: 2005

RMS has withdrawn explicit support for the Creative Commons project (though he recognizes it is a “better” option than the mainstream) because CC has added several new licence options (to the original six), at least one of which, in rms’s view, do not do an adequate job of protecting freedom.

Uh. Lessig sits inthe board of FSF. Knowing the absolute dedication of RMS this came as no surprise. I do agree that CC is drifting away from the core mission by adding new licenses.

Keeper of Expired Web Pages Is Sued Because Archive Was Used in Another Suit - New York Times

Link: Keeper of Expired Web Pages Is Sued Because Archive Was Used in Another Suit - New York Times.

The Internet Archive was created in 1996 as the institutional memory of the online world, storing snapshots of ever-changing Web sites and collecting other multimedia artifacts. Now the nonprofit archive is on the defensive in a legal case that represents a strange turn in the debate over copyrights in the digital age.

Beyond its utility for Internet historians, the Web page database, searchable with a form called the Wayback Machine, is also routinely used by intellectual property lawyers to help learn, for example, when and how a trademark might have been historically used or violated.

"information that they had formerly made publicly available didn't stay hidden"

Apparently the case will come to dispute the robot.txt file automation. I am amazed that these sort of cases haven't come upon archive.org previously.

When the studios won't give permission

Link: Darknet: When the studios won't give permission.

JD Lasica has documented his experiences asking movie studios for permission to include small clips of movies in a home video he's making with his 5-year-old son.

Paramount declined to answer my written request to use, for a home movie project, 10 seconds from the 1994 film “Forrest Gump”: the scene in which Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump says, “Life is like a box of chocolates ... you never know what you’re gonna get.”

Hello? The guy had fair use rights + he was ready to pay + Forrest gump is made of pieces and clips from movies and news material... Cmon still no permission. Disney is going even further:

we have had to establish a general policy of non-cooperation with requests of this nature!

History's New First Draft More than ever before, citizen journalists provided some of the best coverage on Thursday's London bombings.

Good article of how people use blogs and wikipedia to search for information that newspapers and TV simply can't provide. There is a Creative Commons licensed photo on of people leaving one of the smoked filled trains. Can't see no license with the story though.

I am sorry about the events in London.Terrorism doesn't solve anything. Seems that Blair has to bear the consecuenses of Iraq war on his own soil.

Open Business : Open Business

Link: Open Business.

The vision of the Open Business Guide is to share, mix and facilitate the spread of innovative business ideas. Here the entrepreneurial community can share success stories and failures. From both we can learn.

Seems that there are't too many business model case studies posted yet. This might be a good site to keep eye on.

New Google Map hacks keep pouring in. This is a revenue generating free wireless hotspot service. The service uses affiliate programmes. Free hotspots just plug in to the services DNS server that keeps track of the users behaviour. If users buy something from lets say Amazon, the provider of the hot spot and the service provider get revenue! They are claiming that the average revenue is 4800/yr. Nice business idea for the free hot spots.
