Ruthenium is an extremely hard shiny gray metal that is used as a premier alloy for palladium and platinum to make them more wear resistant. Objects plated with ruthenium have exceptional resistance to scratching and abrasion. In fact ruthenium plated finishes are the hardest and toughest of all the plating choices we offer.

Microsoft Windows Media – Windows Media Player 10 gives you more music and more choices, and for the first time makes it possible to sync high-quality music, video, and photos to the latest portable devices.

Why was the term copying in Media Player 9 changed to ripping in Media Player 10 ?

Answers.com: ripping : …Ripping is nothing more than CD-DA (audio CD) to MP3 conversion; however, when the term was coined, it had a perverse meaning.

Both of the above urls are generated as /2005/200501/ in IE, while in Firefox, former is /2005/200501/ while latter becomes /2005/200501/20050126/\2005\200501\20050126\

Firefox Help: Reporting Bugs states …There are four crucial steps that you should follow before filing your first bug report:…

1) Use the latest nightly build of Firefox with a new profile >>> Am downloading the latest nightly build – firefox-1.0+.en-US.win32.installer.exe – 25-Jan-2005 – 17:43 – 4.6M

2) Check if you can reproduce the bug in Mozilla (Application Suite) >>> Bug is reproducable in the latest builds of both Firefox and Mozilla

3) Check if the bug is already filed >>> whoa! – The Firefox Bug List is Long !

4) Finally, read the official Bug Writing Guidelines : “…The Mozilla bug tracking system (Bugzilla) allows any interested individuals on the Internet to directly report and track bugs in mozilla.org open-source projects like the Mozilla Application Suite or Mozilla Firefox…” >>> Done !

Enter a bug : “50% of the bugs filed in Bugzilla are duplicates” – Oh !

searched with “slash” and there seems to be nothing similar…
