Recently I bought a new computer(PC), so I needed to download the most current version of Firefox. I had been using Firefox Beta on the old computer and had a few issues starting to show up, so I thought I'd try the latest version of Firefox. And for 10 plus days it seemed okay. There some tell tale signs that there might be a problem but they went away... until late Wednesday.
All of a sudden I was having issues on Dkos. The old Rate All buttton showed up and wouldn't go away. And when I clicked it, I was sent back to the Front Page not the -diary- post I was in. And speaking of Post, my Recommend star went away. I tried several things, the last of which was to Log Out so I could log back in (which has resolved issues before). I say last thing because then I couldn't Log In, not in FF. I'm using Explorer.
Somewhere along the way I went to tools, options, manage add-ons. It was in manage add-ons that I saw the message; Java not compatible with 6.01 version of Firefox. For the next several hours I searched for a patch, tool, add-on, substitution for Java etc. I can only assume Java is necessary for the funtions that weren't working correctly to work. The frustration was building. I also ran across an article discussing the on-going battle between Microsoft and Sun. Fuck their battle, I want my software to work, not a corporate version of the GOP and Dems failing to co-operate.
There are tons of knowledge here on DK. I'm assuming someone will have an answer. I may not be happy with it, but I'll have an answer. So have at it guys, the floor is open for discussion.
On with the games!!
Mojo Friday Guidelines
1) If you comment you have to recommend all comments. (in order to receive mojo you have to give mojo. It's only good mojo manners.)
2) Everything you say may be taken as a joke (so if you ask a question, expect a silly answer)
3) You must recommend the diary (and pimp it unapologetically)
4) You don't have to comment to recommend.
5) You can't steal my idea (right, like that ain't goin' to happen)
6) Please, no pictures or YouTubes until after 300 comments. Now, after 300, use a little common courtesy and be responsible in the number.
7) Mojo mojo mojo mojo, mojo mojo mojo.
8) TexDem (that's me) is not bound by the guidelines. Heh
Mojo Friday Goals
A. At least 300 different commenters and 1000 comments by 1:30 PM EST and 1500 by 5:00 PM EST Friday Night that it's posted.
B. 100 recommends for each comment, at least.
C. Stay on Recommend List at least five hours (this requires some strategic planning by you guys, refer to guideline #3)
D. At least 200 diary recommends. 300 would be better, spread the word.
E. And always, fun fun fun.
F. Have at least 75% average participation rate as seen here in the Mojo Friday Postgame Show by Woodtick.
G. (New) Have at least 30 kossacks over 90% participation (see here for some tips).
H. Overload the servers with recommends, not to mention dominate Top Comments Mojo list. (we do tend to mess with the site with all of our recommends at one time)(also, to dominate the Top Comments Top Mojo we need at least 50 comments with over 200 recommends, see guideline B)
I. That's enough for now. (Have a suggestion? Post it.)
