This is a {bad_thing}. Still, we colonials are diligently attempting to
keep pace - our President has decided to begin locking up American
citizens without benefit of trial, council or grand jury indictment,
citing a edict pronounced in a declared war that occured half a century
ago. Kinda makes me wonder why we bothered fighting you lot in the
first place. Gotta do a "hats off" to the Pres, though. This sure
showed the American public that he isn't just some dangerously insecure
Tejano FDR wanna-be, but is instead firmly in control of the war on
terror.

Re: Mozilla 1.0 BugFeature
I forget where I got this info from, but netscape has an option which allows
you to open a link in a running instance of netscape. Netscape starts with a
script, so the following script I put together (full of bugs but it works):
#!/bin/bash
a=`ps xuw | grep mozilla | grep -v grep`
# [ "$a" ] || a=`ps xuw | grep netscape | grep -v grep`
[ -n "$a" ] && {
/usr/local/netscape/netscape -remote "openURL(`xclip -o`)" &
}
[ -z "$a" ] && {
/usr/local/netscape/netscape "`xclip -o`" &
}
Mozilla may have a similar option.
Of course, I can't even find where the binary is anymore.

Feds, industry battle the biggest network bug (The Register)
This story (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/25693.html) talks about the ASN.1 problems. To a neophyte of the protocols etc., of the internet it seems worrying: to a computer user the following is frightening: "So severe are the potential ramifications of widespread ASN.1 security holes, that President Bush was personally briefed on the matter, according to cyber security czar Richard Clarke, speaking at a meeting of the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee (NSTAC) last March." Then: "With that mandate, Howard Schmidt, FORMER MICROSOFT SECURITY CHIEF (my caps) and newly-appointed vice chairman of the President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board, created a full-time "Cyber Interagency Working Group" in February to examine the government's vulnerability to ASN.1 implementation holes."

FWIW, I grabbed the tarball from balckdown proper.

Additionally, when I create the link as shown, ln -s /opt/mozilla/mozilla /usr/bin/mozilla, then try to run /usr/bin/mozilla, I get an error: Cannot find runtime directory. Exiting. Running /opt/mozilla/mozilla works (I get an error that freetype support is not compiled in, but I don't know how inportant that is).
