If you burn a disk, it stays put. The disk will never be changed. Every time you use that burnt DVD, you get the same results, unless it gets scratched. On the other hand, let's say you have a USB stick. 1. Download installer package.

For NYC, Sort of... maybe you'll pass the occasional cluster of ~10 cops on a subway platform, or other transportation hub. But if you also count police in police cars, and the likelihood of undercover cops and unmarked cars, and pass

They should include optical disk instructions (ISO-to-bootable-DVD), given that USB sticks are such an obvious security hazard. (...I realize it's trivial to create an ISO image for DVD burning, but gee it'd be nice if that was a

Access is access. Regardless of whether it's enabled by real time interception, SSH, remote desktop, FTP, a rich web app UI, or snail-mail based optical disk exchanges. And besides, whatever PRISM may or may not be, it's pretty cl

It does matter, because if you tack Point A down to a fixed position, and pull Point B away at a fixed speed, and the ant's speed is explicitly measured as relative to it's distance from A, then ant isn't catching a ride on t

...then POINT A and POINT B are both in motion, simultaneously, while the ant is walking . Which is great, except that when the original concept is framed to the reader, the simple word problem doesn't specifically express that bo

A Rubber Band is 100,000 centimeters long, from POINT A to POINT B . An ant starts at one end of the rubber band ( POINT A ), and walks toward the other end ( POINT B ), at 1 centimeter per second, for an infinite period of time. POINT

Uh, no thanks. That site does not readily provide hashes for their binaries (MD5, SHA512, whatever), and the page is smeared with ads. There's no way to know if the site is trustworthy. And, anyway, where would I get the trustworthy ha

I know. I know. Believe me, I know. That detail is not lost on me. My complaint is simply that it's hard to find, and for those who want it, there's no real road map or sign postings for where to get it.

I think it's mostly a tactic to mitigate, prevent, defend against denial of service, since the Mozilla user base is absolutely gigantic. My suspicion is that it's essentially a "security through obscurity" tactic, so tha

I find it irritating that Mozilla now herds its Firefox users toward the Stub installer, and not the full offline-install redistributable binary. The actual download itself is available on the "Systems & Languages" page: >

So where can I go to download an ISO? I'd like to burn a bootable DVD, and load it up as a non-networked offline install. Is such a thing even possible?
