Well, a joke is normally not funny when you have to explain it, but it's a game of words. Here's a couple of links to help you get it: 1[^] 2[^]
I found it hilarious when I heard it, anyway...

OK, my deepest apologies for ruining the joke, I read it too fast and did not see the flamOngo

No problem. It's not MY fault that I never get sent the really FUNNY stuff like Griff...

is our browser at work. Of course, no other allowed. And firefox "protection" function sucks : at least twice a day I cannot open a website because FF thinks it is unsecure or whatever they call it, and I cannot add an exception, etc... Oh mozilla, just let me turn this nonsense off with a setting, pleaaaaaase....

I asked that in the Moziall official FB page and was bashed by a lot of people telling me "you want to put at risk millions of people just because you know what you're doing?".
Apparently my response that people who didn't know what they were doing shouldn't be allowed near a computer wasn't well received...

Well, I do not need it to be standard, but at least be able to switch it off would be interesting.

That was what I was asking, an option in about:config. The answer: "every user will enable it and it will be useless".
1) If every user would disable it maybe it is an unwanted feature?
2) It's my fraking browser.
I don't want to use Chrome as I find it more cumbersome and less intuitive than FF but soon I'll be completely sick of all FF blockades. No access to port different form 80, with obscure configuration options to add in order to whitelist specific port numbers, asking each time for the "obsolete" plugins...

Could you elaborate on that ? I find Chrome much more intuitive, so now I am curious about what FF can do better. (the separation between navigation and search bar is one thing that belongs to the past, for instance).

Cumbersome as it kills the RAM on every computer I use it, and since I multitask a LOT (several VS instances at work, on 2GB of RAM, and videogame+download+browser at home) stealing over 2GB of RAM in any given moment is crippling. I had up to 2.5 GB of memory footprint for Chrome, with FF I rarely surpass 600 MB.
Less intuitive as I want an easy way to save images from the web, a usable menu bar and yes, I prefer search bar and address bar to be separated but that does not concern me much. Private navigation in Chroe is heavier, opening tabs is slower and loading pages too. On every workstation/pc I used, with very different configurations - form the EeePC 701 to my trusetd i7 laptop.

OK, I've heard about that but never paid attention, mostly because when I use Chrome @ home, I do not do something in parallel. I have never used it in a working environment.
den2k88 wrote: easy way to save images from the web
? Right-click "Save Image as ..." ?
OK, so I get performance is an issue. As a said, I don't (can't) use it at work, so it never occured to me. Thanks for the feedback !

I've not yet come upon the with FF. Could it be my A/V gets there first?
Maybe it's time to revisit SeaMonkey ?

COuld be also linked with the way my company (and the proxy etc) handles security. I might be blaming FF for the incompetence of my IT department.

Now there you've hit on something.
My box at work goes through the company SPAM filters. As part of IT, I'm supposed to be completely unblocked. Mostly yes. Once in a while, oops.
My box (95% of my time) has a static IP and is relatively well behaved in this respect. The VM, however, does not. Let's just say it's a bit shaky at times, dropping back to standard user settings.
Hopefully, if your IT dept knows you by the same name we do, they'll comply quickly.

Presumably you've visited about:config and checked the safe browsing settings?
- browser.safebrowsing.enabled
- browser.safebrowsing.allowOverride
And also tried changing the Options ⇒ Security ⇒ Block dangerous and deceptive content setting?

I love C#. The only time I really struggle is when looking at a new codebase, with datatypes. So, for example, I'm now learning a lot of Identity/OAuth related stuff, and code which is actually quite simple, becomes harder for me to understand when I am not familiar with the data types used. See this example:
public class ApplicationUserManager
: UserManager<ApplicationUser, string>
{
public ApplicationUserManager(IUserStore<ApplicationUser, string> store)
: base(store)
{
}
public static ApplicationUserManager Create(
IdentityFactoryOptions<ApplicationUserManager> options,
IOwinContext context)
{
var manager = new ApplicationUserManager(
new UserStore<ApplicationUser, ApplicationRole, string,
ApplicationUserLogin, ApplicationUserRole,
ApplicationUserClaim>(context.Get<ApplicationDbContext>()));
manager.UserValidator = new UserValidator<ApplicationUser>(manager)
{
AllowOnlyAlphanumericUserNames = false,
RequireUniqueEmail = true
};
manager.PasswordValidator = new PasswordValidator
{
RequiredLength = 6,
RequireNonLetterOrDigit = true,
RequireDigit = true,
RequireLowercase = true,
RequireUppercase = true,
};
var dataProtectionProvider = options.DataProtectionProvider;
if (dataProtectionProvider != null)
{
manager.UserTokenProvider =
new DataProtectorTokenProvider<ApplicationUser>(
dataProtectionProvider.Create("ASP.NET Identity"));
}
return manager;
}
}
What this code is doing is actually very simple, and I get that. But, there are a lot of types thrown around that I'm not familiar with... And then when I learn this particular codebase, the same thing will happen with another when I'm new to it. This was just a small example, but for example with the standard value types like int, double, string, it would be much more straightforward.
That said, my current strategy is usually to just hit ALT+F12 in Visual Studio to take a peak at the code and just try to memorize it... But sometimes, for example, I'll implement something like this and then not even have to mess with it for a while (month or more), then start to forget it... Especially when it is code in a totally customized codebase that is not part of any standard library.
Any tips appreciated!
