Actually I'm wrong. With Firefox's EPup Reader, you can "Inspect Element" and get a full-fledged Dev Tool, instead of the crippled Dev Tool "Inspect" in Calibre.
A top 10 global mobile-phone manufacturer (this year) that has diversified into numerous other markets. Although not even a year ago, Xiaomi was the number 1 Chinese manufacturer, but they have been eclipsed by Huawei. Xiaomi and Lenovo (+Motorola) recently dropped another notch, as Oppo and Vivo took over the 4th and 5th spots in the global mobile phone market.
Yeah but the extension is pretty non-functional for a "local" program.
EPub Reader:
* Can only drag one file to the "ePub Catalog" at a time.
* Can't open a folder of ePub's.
* Doesn't support additional tabstops (metaTag fields).
Unless your workplace wont allow program installs, there's absolutely no reason to use the Firefox extension over Calibre.
I get where Canonical is coming from regarding Snaps as such, but I fail to see why it's not implemented with softlinks.
Install all libraries into "/snaps/lib/<NAME>/<version.X.Y.Z>/" and link to the directory.
Worst-case scenario in that setup, would be at most a single duplication of a given library version - that you already have installed in your system.
Then ALL "snaps" could run a compatibility-check when updating the snaps shared-libraries before linking to the new version, as well as easily fall back to the old-library-version if necessary.
I was extremely surprised and impressed with Calibre. I tried at least a half-dozen different applications to just be able to "view epub's" on a PC.
Microsoft's Store was useless. Over half of the apps listed weren't even epub readers. You can't install even or download a "windows store" app without activating a Microsoft Account.
The included "pdf" viewer can't read epubs.
Every single other native-windows (non-Windows Store) app that I installed required an account to be setup with them - just to manage LOCAL files.
Then finally, ok lets try Calibre. It just works.
Then... I realize (after "Inspecting") epub|mobi is freaking just HTML.
Even FF requires a 1MB extension add-on to view epubs. W-T-F.
There has been far more music created that is NOT available ANYWHERE than ALL of the Music services combined.
they write that the current online copyright law has allowed YouTube and other sites to "generate huge profits by creating ease of use for consumers to carry almost every recorded song in history
James Piazza, Music Archivist, Audiophile Paul Mawhinney's record collection consists of ~1 million LPs and ~1.5 million singles. The Library of Congress conducted a study of Mawhinney's collection and found that only 17% of the titles were available to the public on CD.
A smaller fraction still were made commercially available in a digital file format like MP3 or FLAC.
And to take it one step further, the majority of the LPs in Paul's collection are American and UK recordings. That doesn't even begin to consider the musical output of the rest of planet earth.
The iTunes library (or that of Spotify for that matter) comprise a tiny, tiny fraction of the history of recorded music. 26 million digital songs is a starting point, but the world's catalog of recorded sound extends so much farther than that.
And once you've finished the lifetimes it would take to play through official recordings from the Library of Congress and other national archives, you could then move on to the libraries of the universities of the world which will open you up to demos and performances from some of the greatest composers in the world, none of which are available commercially.
Without some concrete figures from the LOC, national archives and from universities, I cannot provide even a ballpark of an exact total track duration, but I hope my answer gives you some perspective beyond the limitations of digital music.
Considering that Total Commander still:
1) Can't natively handle Junctions|Hardlinks (2000), nor Symlinks (2008?).
2) Has no native Regex quick-filter.
3) Has no Per Tab History; Global Left|Right Panel History only.
4) Has no control over what Tab activates when a tab closes.
5) Doesn't respect the Recycle Bin setting for file deletion, requiring you to Click a delete confirmation dialog every single time.
6) Doesn't understand "Libraries" at all. Nor virtual folders like the "Desktop".
7) Has no native "Virtual Tab|Panel/File List" - not counting MVC's hacky DOS-interface.
Anyone that has used TC extensively over the last 10+ years could list dozens of such "quirks".
We use Firefox, because it's customizable, can open a shit-load of tabs. The constant bitch about Firefox's GUI|Australis by a handful of users - is so a NON-ISSUE. Australis is more customizable than Firefox 4. Full Stop. Any missing "bars" can be added back - easily, incl additional addon-bars (as many as you want), status bar, bookmark bars. You need a bar? Firefox has you covered.
Open Source doesn't suck any more or less than commercial software. They both suck in their own lovely ways.
Open Source:
Documentation is usually almost non-existent. Config is likely a flat-text file, that may need to be edited by hand.
Closed Source|Commercial:
Documentation is likely to be thorough and offered in multiple languages. Config is likely an accessible Dialog organized by category.
Both Open Source and Closed Source suffer from project abandonment.
It does seem though that Closed Source gets away with ignoring usability feature requests, and feature requests in generall
It's pretty much up to the Dev.
1) WinRar -> constantly developed and updated. Very usable.
2) Total Commander -> rarely developed. Curmudgeon single developer that hasn't implemented a single usability UI request in 10 years.
3) EmEditor -> frequent (small updates). Possibly single developer, that hasn't implemented a single usability UI request in 10 years.
I used to use Request Policy, it has a generally more user-friendly interface (in the beginning). RPc also has more limitations than uMatrix - you need more rules and more micromanagement with RPc to achieve site-compatibility. So I ran them side by side for a while, until I got the hang of uMatrix, and kept up with RPc on GitHub, but it's development is very slow.
RequestPolicy - even before it was forked was pretty awesome compared to AdBlock and co, but uMatrix just takes it to another level - most general users likely don't care about that level, and will just (primarily) use the standard block lists.
Aye. Whereas almost all of Microsoft's filesystem advances are hidden in shadow-copies and inaccessible system folders. Or enterprise-version only RAID-like features. We can't even freaking tag files n folders unless they are "media" files.
Why the hell was this upvoted? Updating a Bios is "terrifying". A whole bunch of unqualified bitches. Alienware was always in the "you must think I'm stupid" range. Maybe OP is just less stupid now.

Or you could just learn how to pronounce it?

TLDR; My phone: Xiaomi RedMi3 Pro Prime @ $146.99 - $10 cheaper than it was two weeks ago.

Considering it has more users than Firefox, when you include Opera Mini - I would say a fair number of people "knew".
Also some manufacturers just give you an external drive. I was quite surprised when my Lenovo Y700 came with an external-DVD RW.
How many songs have been recorded since the beginning of time?

I'm opting for F'N-Batshit-Crazy - which could include him thinking everyone else is stupid.
Interesting Thanks.
uMatrix (replacement for Ghostery, AdBlock|uBlock, etc) - blocks by default:
All 3rd party cookies.
All 3rd party scripts.
All iFrames.
What do you think this is?
Now they just need to figure out how Pi and Planck's constant fit in and we'll should get the Universal Equation.
It'll be interesting to what kind of effect, if any, this has on Rhapsody.
No it wont. Rhapsody is already branded as Napster in all the other countries it operates in except for the United States.
I didn't even know it existed as a Music Streaming service, and according to this, is possibly even better than Pandora.
Good thing lightning didn't strike during the 3 seconds it takes to flash the bios rom then.

Would you want to be licensing anything from Oracle today?
