Firefox 1.5 update

The Mozilla Corporation has released Firefox 1.5 web browser. Like my fellow coworker I have updated and really didn’t have any issues. 1.5 looks very much like previous versions. I don’t use any themes or extensions so to me it seems to be exactly the same. I do agree with Bryan about the memory leaks. On occasion I have experienced the memory leaks along with high cpu utilization when Firefox is open for extended periods of time.

I do have to say though when IE 7 comes out, I will probably go back to IE as my main browser.
The only reason I use Firefox now is the tabbed browsing. Not that there is anything wrong with Firefox, just always liked IE.

I do agree with Bryan that Mozilla needs to have some sort of corporate solution for rolling out and managing Firefox to multiply machines. This would really help their image for the corporate market share.

Lent house in shambles

When the Firm Foundation Worship Center got the call that a family of nine escaping Hurricane Katrina had arrived in Westminster needing a house, church members jumped into action.

“They came here with nothing,” said Marge DiMaggio, the church’s co-pastor.

As quickly as possible, church members made a house on church property look like a home.

When the Brown family left on Sunday, the DiMaggios were horrified to find the house in shambles. [.continue.]

While it can be demeaning according to Graning, that is not the reason for destruction. I hardly think if I was put in the same situation I would have responded in the same way. I would be very appreciated to the church giving me and my family a free place to stay with really not any bills to pay. I would focus my ‘frustration’ into starting over, getting a job, establishing myself, etc. I suspect the Brown’s social and economic situation in Louisiana before the hurricane had a greater impact on their behavior here in Maryland than anything else.

Former Canadian Minister Of Defence Asks Canadian Parliament Asked To Hold Hearings On Relations With Alien “Et” Civilizations

A former Canadian Minister of Defence and Deputy Prime Minister under Pierre Trudeau has joined forces with three Non-governmental organizations to ask the Parliament of Canada to hold public hearings on Exopolitics — relations with Mr. Hellyer and these organizations mean ethical, advanced extraterrestrial civilizations that may now be visiting Earth. [.contine.]

“UFOs, are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head.”
“I’m so concerned about what the consequences might be of starting an intergalactic war, that I just think I had to say something.”
“The United States military are preparing weapons which could be used against the aliens, and they could get us into an intergalactic war without us ever having any warning. He stated, “The Bush administration has finally agreed to let the military build a forward base on the moon, which will put them in a better position to keep track of the goings and comings of the visitors from space, and to shoot at them, if they so decide.”

I spent all that time running seti@home for nothing!

Oklahoma Pastor Shakes Off Punch During Mass

A well known Oklahoma pastor was attacked Sunday while giving the altar call at his church.
Pastor Billy Joe Daugherty of Victory Christian Center in Tulsa was almost knocked out when 50-year-old Steven Rogers walked forward and punched him during the time when people were joining the church. [.continue. - with video]

That’s just crazy, walking up to a guy like that and punching him. What impressed me about this is the pastor’s reaction. No anger, no wanting to retaliate, just kept preaching.
He turned the other cheek. The world would be a much better place if more people followed his example.
