_Mission Control_ is what Netscape used to have for "deployment of Navigator and Communicator":http://wp.netscape.com/communicator/missioncontrol/v4.0/: the possibility of having corporate browser and e-mail client preconfigured and locked down for end-users. I used this very successfully in the late ninetees for locking down preferences in [...]
I'd "already written":http://blog.fupps.com/2005/11/27/backup-your-delicious-bookmarks/ about how your "del.icio.us":http://del.icio.us bookmarks could be backed up, but after the "total blackout at the del.icio.us site":http://blog.del.icio.us/blog/2005/12/yet_another_pow.html a few days ago, I decided to do this more carefully.

In the default setting, the font-sizes of the page are increased respectively decreased depending on the down or up direction respectively. To disable that handling, enter about:config in the URL(Uniform Resource Locator) bar of _Firefox_, search for the mousewheel.withmetakey.action which [...]
Obwohl einige Schrekensmeldungen über den Umschwung zu Arcor kursieren, habe ich absolut keinen Grund zur Beschwerde. Die Bestellung habe ich online am 30.11 abgegeben, die Auftragsbestätigung am 11.12 verschickt (war im Urlaub) und alsbald kam dann die Ankündigung der Aufschaltung für den 28.12.
