I don't want noscript in mozilla's hands, it's better that it's independent and constantly tweaked by enthusiast rather than in control of google-lovers who might have an interest to at some point allow some stuff we the user would not want to allow.
0nce too much is under some central control the road to disaster is nicely paved.

They should really take a peek at some of the work Ronald van den Heetkamp has done with Opera and javascript wrappers…

Did anyone else notice that FireFox's Security Chief is a Fox?

@17: Perhaps go back to grade school and take literature classes, or even introduction to english, too.

I was clearly addressing the "or you'd have heard things in unbigoted context" statement towards me.

What's funny is you actually in turn agreed that racism is being used, but sadly do to your poor interpretation/reading skills you labeled me as a racist(hopefully it won't be terrorist next(

oh, now racism isn’t bigotry. i need to update my dictionary, it was published before 1984.

@14: I agree, I did use too much sexual innuendo.

Too bad political correctness isn't used on ALL things politically incorrect here. I'm sure you calling me out on my first post is a bit hypocritical given stuff you've posted on the net before.

@13: How the hell is this bigotry?

Like I said this isn't advanced linguistics. The way they phrased it doesn't fit any other context. If it does then please enlighten me on what that is, using the whole context, and not just a fragment.

Like I said, the context is so blunt/obvious that by conjuring excuses you're doing nothing but trolling; frivolously at that.

“but it’s just racism under every context of ever written and spoken language”

You’re in fucking outer space. Are there no black people there? Must not be, or you’d have heard things in unbigoted context.

I was bored. That's the only reason I pointed it out. Seeing people excuse something so obvious was what made me make more responses.

She's the co-founder of one of the consultant firms they're bringing in.

Who the hell cares.

She's more of a mocha color.

Diversity fucking rules, I'm sure any of you would drink her up like a hot lil' latte, so quit talking shit.

Putting aside testostorone, why the hell hasn't this happened sooner lol?

Matasano Security is the firm that ‘accidentally’ leaked the DNS exploit details on their blog and then pulled it down and apologized, saying they meant to “only post it after someone ELSE leaked it”, right?

great…now firefox is gonna get a LeakThis! button right next to the Home button that autoposts stuff from your email account to your blog with no confirmation.

The person directly associated it with the fact "black" was in the name of the event she attended, and then followed it with "more like black face... am i rite?".

This isn't rocket science, or even advanced linguistics.

I'd like to throw down some triple syllable words to really set it in stone, but it's just racism under every context of ever written and spoken language. Excusing it is kind of instigating trolling and repetitive explanations of core language skills.

[tjhooker]: she has a pretty and black face, and those are valid observations. your objection is inappropriate.

what you seem to be objecting to is the _mention_ of and idea of conciousness about skin color, spurred by a common-sense connection between article title and picture. you call that racist, despite the lack of any judgment on any property of the person so far beside the compliment.

this isn't vaudville "black face" impersonation. this isn't that context. in another context, calling you a canine would be a prelude to violence and showing the sole of my foot a digusting display of disrespect.

any physical response can be justified if intent is deemed equivalent to imaginary offense. however, they are not the same. so until you actually _ask_ whether [joesph-walton] had ulterior meanings, try not assigning some of your own for irrelevant purposes.
