Verizon collides with Firefox and lead poisoning

ReV smokey255 · Jan 1, 2005, 10:35 PM

The same works for Mozilla. I have tried it a long time ago. However, if your secure OpenVMS/Alpha systems happens to be behind a firewall of the government that is suppose to protect your VMS system from all the nasty PC (say non-Alpha) MS-DoS (say non-OpenVMS) exploits on the web, then you may find that too many concurrent connexions will be interpreted by the smart PC quality firewall software as a DDoS attempt. As a result your tweaked web browser will get you nowhere. Now, don't ask me why some government agencies protect OpenVMS/Alpha systems from PC software problems. It's a regulation thing.

Um.....this article...seems to be more of an argument and a collection from an inquirer mailbag than any news that makes a collective amount of worthwhile sense.
