zzzzzzzzzzz…..
I feel asleep waiting for the download to start in FireFox. Automatic redirects are disabled for me (for obvious reasons – spam/redirecting).
In this case, just download the file directly by looking at the source.
ps – the email requirement is a joke…bugmenot.com for these sorts of things, or enter asdf@asdf.org
I recently switched from blogger.com to wordpress.com (open source).
The major difference here being you install the software on your own site, rather than using blogger.com’s interface.
One problem I had (which I just now resolved thanks to the intelligent software support system on freenode #wordpress)…was that when I posted, the browser would hang for over a minute.
Actually, the problem is that I am “pinging” nearly 50-100 xml-rpc blog ping services, and that takes a time to ping each one serially. I suggested they fork the ping process off, or close stdout.
It’s not too big an issue for me, if your browser starts timing out, that would be annoying.
But the solution I would implement in the source code would be to fork the xml-rpc ping process and/or close stdout so the browser can return.
If you don’t want to wait for that to make it down to the release, you can also weed out a lot of the xml-rpc ping services because of overlap.
By who’s standard is the universe considered “intelligently designed”? Our own, obviously…
It’s more like a child who burns his hands on the furnace, because it’s too hot. Then realizing this, he claims “Wow, that furnace was intelligently designed to burn me if I touched it!”, which really is not the case or purpose of the furnace.
All we are doing as a species is observing life. If we understand minute portions of it, we somehow lift ourselves up above the laws of physics and nature, and say “Oh, if we can understand it, it must be intelligent or designed by our creator”.
As a species, it’s a way of kissing our own asses at how “smart” we think we are. There is so much more to know beyond our wildest imagination, it’s actually pretty pathetic how little we can explain in the grand scheme of things.
