I Googled Gooface. Pro-tip: never Google Gooface

But seriously; all modern browsers have this built in. Just use Private Browsing/Incognito mode and disable plugins unless you need them.

There is a typo in the third paragraph that made me fall off my chair laughing. Immaturity. I have it.

[JavaRa (Lng)*] LangSecRef=English Language DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\JavaRa\JavaRa.exe Default=False Filekey1=%ProgramFiles%\JavaRa\|*.lng JavaRa 2.0 uses the .locale format, so make sure you add that too. (shameless plug: JavaRa 2.0 is now the stable version. Because "beta" just isn't cool anymore)

So Palemoon is having issues related to changes in the profile structure too. That confirms that Mozilla have made (another) stupid error.

Okay; MozillaDocs confirms that it's used by HTML5 apps.

Try the Firefox reset feature. I read somewhere on MDN that they changed the structure of user profiles slightly between Firefox 14 and Firefox 15. Perhaps something corrupted slightly; which is causing a lockup.

I don't know exactly; I had to stop counting on the 8th because the amount of access logs being written overloaded the hard drive If I scale previous months winapp2 downloads to the total HTTP requests of August (which is somewhat sketchy math) I get about 1.1-1.2 million.

It's worth making trees stronger than kevlar just to watch a lumberjack's reaction.

I'm fairly sure that it's the index of HTML5 Offline Data. Modern web apps made in JavaScript and HTML5 can store their data (.html, .js and .css) files inside your browser's cache so they don't require re-downloading when they're next needed. It's also designed to allow HTML5 apps to run offline. The index.sqlite file is a database of what files are stored on the computer and what app they belong to. This works like the Windows MFT.

Since we're sharing fun facts; my HTTP server has delivered over 12,000,000 downloads of winapp2.ini. Terabytes are so much cooler than Gigabytes

Don't confuse web-based Java (applets etc) with the general purpose Java Platform. It's only the web where Java needs to die; everywhere else it's actually immensely useful. Android apps almost exclusively run on Java, as do many other cool things.

My online banking site is valid HTML5. They're trendy like that.

Much too complicated.I guarantee that 99% of users will be confused and do this wrong.

Some fun facts: JavaRa (the Java repair/removal tool that I write/maintain) download numbers have quadrupled since Oracle's mess started. An average of 18,000 people are using it to remove Java every single day.

There's nothing you can do to significantly improve the speed. Defragmenting your hard drive could help; as would ending any unneeded background programs.

I know Google Chrome doesn't run Java content without manual approval. Do other browsers do this too?

Good point Alan. In that case; replace "safe" with "unintentionally harmful" Side note: HTML5 isn't more popular because it sucks. Browser vendors can't decide on spec standards, fallbacks for legacy browsers are inconsistent and it's just painfully complex to do anything non-primitive. That said; HTML5 will eventually dominate because it still sucks less than Flash.

No, it's not. Browser favicon storage is powered by witchcraft alone. It's probably just being cached somewhere else in the browser. Firefox ships with the ebay search engine, right? Have you considered that the ebay favicon is marked as persistent so that the search engine thingamajig doesn't break? (Keep in mind, this is only speculation since I have no intention of installing a three year old browser to test it)

Adobe uses wildcard subdomains; allowing them to generate multiple subdomains all pointing to the same content. This is primarily done for analytic or load balancing reasons. I've personally used wildcards to circumvent poorly designed web content filters, back in high school. tl;dr: If it's pointing to *.adobe.com, it's safe.

Primary storage refers to memory. Sorry, I'm in essay mode at the moment.

There is also the issue of thread conflicts. Threads are designed not to interact with one another, which means that it's possible for two threads to simultaneously move the same block of data. This would cause data loss or (at the very least) cause the hard drive to become more fragmented. These apps perform most of their work on data containing in primary storage; not the hard drive. In the case of games; they utilize multi-threading to allow for background processing without delaying the foreground thread, which would cause choppyness.

I love cloud computing. It's nice having access to all of my data; wherever I am with whatever device I'm currently using. For example; I'm currently 15,000 miles away from my home; accessing the internet on a my smartphone. Even though my hard drive is so far away, all of my email, bookmarks, calendar items, contacts, media/files and RSS feeds are available. That said; I always make sure that I have multiple ways of accessing that data, even if a cloud service goes down. I've configured Gmail to automatically forward all of my mail to a server on the other side of the world. My contacts are stored locally on all devices and synced with my Google Account. All of my Twitter tweets are archived using a script running on another server. All of my files are stored in Dropbox; which is synced with a Network Attached Storage device on my home network. This means the contents of my hard drive is still accessible worldwide; even if my dropbox account is hacked. TL;DR: Cloud is great; but have a contingency.

Don't be intimidated by rich girls. They're usually lonely; mostly because everyone assumes they're whingy little snobs. The only thing you need to be worried about is their father. One of my female friends' father owns a rather large law firm - scariest dude I've ever encountered.

I think Hazelnut is referring to economic, disruptive innovation and socio-political variables; more than past qualifications. In Australia especially; a growing number of employers are totally ignoring the resume/references system and judging potential employees based on the skills they can demonstrate in an interview. I have a friend who recently got a job at BAE systems. In the interview he was asked to produce a fully functional program to calculate the amount fuel a jet would consume after travelling a user-defined distance. Not overly difficult; but still challenging to do under the stress of an interview. The unlikeness of that statement makes me smile slightly.
