You didn't cause any inconvenience, but we would have preferred to solve your problem rather than sending you back to IE. :)

Grey marked one of Thomas' replies in Twitter as useful. Thomas replied to the problem "Is Twitter being hacked, How tight is security at Twitter?".

From what I understand, their policy is much like Freenode, in that a dormant account can be requested by a third party to be removed and reregistered (or some effective analog). Pretty much as shicaca said. At this point, you're complaining they followed their policy about a dead account that hasn't been used in ages (which it seems Thomas has proven) and someone else requested. I'm sorry you're upset by this, but at least someone who wants it is using it, as opposed to just tying up and being unused.

Grey replied on July 28, 2008 05:14 to the question "REAL" in Mozilla:

As we've asked you for twice already in your two other threads, we need more detailed information. What game, exact steps to reproduce, as much detail as you can give us. just telling us "I can't play" and "it tells me to use explorer" isn't enough. Please give us exact details or we just won't be able to help you.

Grey replied on July 28, 2008 04:32 to the question "This can't be real" in Mozilla:

We still need more detailed information. Exactly what you're doing and exact error messages.

Grey replied on July 27, 2008 22:51 to the question "Not playing for real" in Mozilla:

We'll need more details as to exactly what problems you're seeing.

Grey replied on July 20, 2008 20:20 to the idea "Akismet-like Spam Repository for Twitter" in Twitter:

bob: Go to your Yahoo account, and open the SPAM folder. That's not a folder full of myth, now is it?

That spam got there because there are spammers who carpet bomb Yahoo with every possible permutation, and because there ARE email address harvesting bots in the wild. How you can say they're a myth boggles my mind. There are tens of thousands of different variants of spambots too. They're like insects. Most are just spiders like Google, but they only collect email addresses, not links. Some are malware that harvest email addresses from your email client.

Grey replied on July 07, 2008 07:56 to the discussion "Rendering issues in Firefox 3" in Mozilla:

Well, we need information, to start with. A step by step break down of what you are doing, rather than a few off the cuff comments would be extremely helpful in us reproducing the error. Such as:

1. Are you using SSL Explorer Enterprise or Community edition.
2. What do you mean by "login to my ssl explorer site"? Do you mean you begin a VPN session?
3. What RDP client are you using? Windows XP's built in Remote Desktop applet, or something else? Or are we on Vista?
4. Can you define exactly how your RDP session launches the JS script?
5. What actions does the script perform? Can we get a copy of it for debugging and testing?

Also, ano additional information abotu your exact steps to produce this error will be very helpful. Thanks.

After querying other sources, there is no method to disable this short of that patch. It is not yet currently in the tree.

Grey replied on June 23, 2008 07:49 to the problem "Java LiveConnect's cryptography has broken our extension" in Mozilla:

I didn't mean to sound insulting, it's just that a little research on the topics would have revealed that LiveConecnt is dying for a reason, not just to annoy people, and that there are BETTER replacements for LC already in place.

Now, as for examples, I Can't say I know of any off hand, however there are many pages on the net that script with Flash, so that'd be a good thing to look into as a demo, how to script with Flash. The underlying ideas would still carry over to Java.

Grey replied on June 23, 2008 05:58 to the problem "Java LiveConnect's cryptography has broken our extension" in Mozilla:

Live Connect is DEAD people. It's DEAD. Get over it. If your favorite plugin uses LC in 2008 then they need to join the 21st century. Sun is one of the companies agreeing to use the new NPRuntime api.

Mozilla, Adobe, Apple, Opera, and Sun are all on board. You should be too.

Grey replied on June 05, 2008 23:53 to the question "What are the proper ways to shorten Firefox?" in Mozilla:

Tom is right, Fx is the "official" abbrv as used by Mozilla. I would wager they are the definitive source.
