Firefox 3 switch (Updated)
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Other/Undefined
Well I have finely made the switch to Firefox 3 on Windows. I have yet to make the switch in Linux or OS X yet but I will shortly.
After some time using the beta I am about ready (not quite) to fully transition over to FF3. Most of my plug-ins now work for FF3 but there are still a few that still don’t. All of my “Must Have” plug-ins now work though. I am happy to say all of my plug-ins work in FF3!
My Plug-ins:

(Update)
OK so I decided to install MR. Tech Toolkit, sue me… 
I have now made the switch to Firefox 3 on all my computers (Mac, Linux, and Windows)!

Comcast gets H4×3d
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Comcast
Comcast might want to rethink who they are messing with as their DNS records get hijacked leaving people without webmail access. While this attack is very “script kiddy”-esk and fairly harmless it’s just the first of many attacks that may be planned for Comcast.
Comcast should really be worried about messing with the technology they think they own… The internet does not belong to anyone, nor will it be controlled by anyone! Beware Comcast, you are treading on thin ice… Quoted from my own article here
This is not the first time that an organization opposed to user rights has been attacked. The RIAA’s site has been hacked many times over the years. Let that be a lesson do fuck with technology! H4x 7h3 P14n37!

Comcast’s evil plot…
Posted by trm96 | Filed under Comcast, Technology News
After Comcast figured they could not out wit, or out smart, or even get by the FCC it has seamed as thought that overnight they have become “friendly” with some key P2P organizations who happen to develop technologies for pear to pear services. It just seams to me like Comcast is trying to get on the good side of such organizations to be able to reverse engineer their technologies to be able to control the traffic on their (Comcast’s) networks. What happens when Comcast gets their greedy little hands on Bittorrent’s method of connection encryption? IMO I think they will take that technology and use it to make a filtering system that detects such traffic regardless of encryption type or port number and possibly inject their own packets into the stream. Comcast has already proved they have the power detect the use of BT and also spoof packets.

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.
