Firefox 3 RC1 now available!
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Other News
Thats right Firefox 3 RC1 is out now but only for nightly tester/Minefield users.
Assuming no new issues are found today the build team will start official prep work for Release Candidate 1 (RC1) tomorrow. QA will start their extensive RC1 test pass on Monday. If all goes well we should have the Release Candidate publicly available in late May.
RC1 is intended for wider scale public testing. Our 1.2M+ active beta users will automatically get updated to RC1 when it is released. If no new showstopper issues are found in RC1 it will become Firefox 3 final. If we find any critical issues we will continue to release new Release Candidates until we are ready for final ship.

Is Comcast done with screwing around with bittorrent?
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Comcast, Technology News
I think not… A new study shows that Comcast as well as Cox are still delaying or even blocking bittorrent connections. Right now if you use encryption (and use a non standard port number [I use 2460]) for your bittorrent connections you should be still be safe from their screwing around with your connection. Please support both Net Neutrality as well as Open Internet by contributing to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

Service Pack 1 for Office 2008 for Mac out now
Posted by trm96 | Filed under MacOS, Microsoft News
A warning to those of you who have a “pirated” copy of the app if you install this latest update you will find your self not being able to launch any of the Office 2008 apps with out using a new “valid” product key. You will find that it will keep on starting up the setup app every time you launch any of the apps. To remove this “pirated” key you have to remove 2 files:
here:
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Office/OfficePID.plist
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Microsoft Office 2008 settings.plist
After that you run one of the Office apps and the setup app will run but this time asking you for a product key where you will have to enter a “valid” one, after that you are good to go!

Comcast to maybe employ bandwidth cap
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Comcast, Technology News
An “insider” is saying that Comcast is planning to employ a 250GB/month bandwidth cap with an overage fee to it’s customers. No official word has come from Comcast. If it’s not one thing with Comcast it’s something else. I know I would be one of the ones to go over 250GB/month, while I don’t know off hand how much bandwidth I do use in a month I would estimate it’s over 250GB.
