        Critical security issue in Firefox: http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/11/tor-rel...
      • Fixed in 50.0.2 and 45.5.1 ESR.

        oh sweet
      • chirlu
        So one can assume that all the intermediate releases and some before 45 are affected, too.

        Anyone want to help me clean? There'll be plenty of CDs to add to MusicBrainz!
      • CallerNo6
        hibiscuskazeneko, that's true of copyrighted material, certainly. I don't know if copyright really covers (or is meant to cover) a phrase like that. I mean, how many ways are there to say the same thing? If you needed to come up with a different way to describe every metal band from texas, you'd need to start making new words, wouldn't you?
      • hibiscuskazeneko
        It's kinds pointless to add info like that to the disamb when we have artist area fields
      • CallerNo6
        You're not the only editor who feels that way.
      • I kind of like it. It makes artists easy to spot in a search.
      • I'm confused, though, about the artist area guideline.
      • drsaunders
        you need the area because you can't see the area field when selecting an artist
      • CallerNo6
        you see the area if you do a regular search, but yeah, for relationships the disambig is reallly helpful
      • Leftmost
        Or editing track artists on a release.
      • CallerNo6
        style/artist seems to discourage using areas smaller than country unless the artist "is most commonly associated with an area smaller than a country"
      • I don't really know how to apply that. Everybody's from somewhere, aren't they?
      • (well, maybe not the Monkees)
      • (okay, fine, a lot of groups are probably not from any one place)
      • Leftmost
        Well, I think of U2 as being from Ireland, versus Nirvana as being from Seattle.
      • CallerNo6
        Would that be true if you were Irish?
      • CatQuest
        i thought u2 was american or something :P
      • sows what i know
      • shows*
      • Leftmost
        Hard to say. I'm trying to answer that myself.
      • CallerNo6
        Become Irish. It's the only way to be sure.
      • CatQuest
        you're atleast leftmost. that's..
      • irland is leftmost in the uk?
      • Leftmost
        Ireland isn't in the UK.
      • Though I also tend to think of Journey as American, not San Franciscan.
      • CatQuest
        I said he wrong word for mening the stupid islands down there ffs. it's 4:40 >_<
      • also
      • also
      • yes
      • CallerNo6
        In the Bay Area, Journey is totally thought of as a local band.
      • CatQuest
        don't nag on me for saying there wrong word for some dumb place man, :rarg:!!!
      • CatQuest isn't really mad, sjut sleep deprived
      • CallerNo6
        As is, say, Tom Waits. But he's probably not thought of that way worldwide.
      • Leftmost
        No. I would also think of Tom Waits as American.
      • CatQuest
        you guys are totally not even looking at what i'm writing. just having a conversation witouth me. well whatever
      • CatQuest goes back to binge-watching adventure time
      • CallerNo6
        Right, so the guideline is weird because everybody sees it slightly differently. Naturally, to me all local musicians are local musicians.
      • Leftmost
        I read it, but I didn't really have a response. :-P
      • CallerNo6, probably not everybody. Just lots of people. ;)
      • CallerNo6
        Okay, so like, Guns n Roses?
      • I only think of LA, but that's probably not everybody's first thought.
      • Leftmost
        I'd say American again
      • .
      • CallerNo6
        haha. they were literally formed by members of L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose.
      • What does a butt metal band need to do to be considered "LA" around here?

        Call themselves Los Angeles.
      • CallerNo6
        I'll make some calls, see if we can get 'er done.
      • Leftmost
        Even then, I might think they were posers from Ohio.

        "Posers from Ohio" sounds like a totes legit bandname
      • sorry, I want attention :(
      • CallerNo6
        I have no reason to believe that that's not a band.
      • CatQuest
        indeed
      • CallerNo6 catches himself having double-standards. Van Halen? Totally L.A,. Frank Zappa? not L.A.!
      • I only know these as "american" :/
      • CallerNo6
      • Leftmost
        Do we have Utopia as an area?
