Firefox extensions work better; break more often.
Firefox extensions are needed in cases where other browsers build that functionality in.
( Hotkey|Shortcuts, Tab Options, etc )... instead Mozilla adds "Hello" and the like, cripes.
Firefox is the only browser with "native" (via extension, Tree Style Tabs|Tab Mix Plus) vertical|side tabs.
(Not counting Vivaldi and Slepnir's implementation of side tabs, as they are piss poor in comparison).
Chrome|Opera have a few options for side-like-tabs, but due to Chrome limitations in modifying the interface -
The damnable things have to run in a separate window.
Chrome|Opera don't even allow you to move "extension" icons anywhere except the Address Bar, nor can you organize them in any order whatsoever.
Firefox Australis duplicating Chrome? Bullshit. Australis is more like Opera 7 thru 12 in the flexibility that it gives end users to customize their environment.
Firefox isn't even remotely close to "kitchen-sink". You have to install add-ons for the most basic "tab options"... actually you pretty much have to install an Add-On to get any options at all. Want to change keyboard shortcuts? Add-on. Want to actually be able to manage your sessions? The "built-in" session manager... yeah it can't do that, go get another add-on.
Opera didn't face less negativity over their capitulation... but the only place to raise the issues was on the Opera Forums|Blog... Those "platforms" are actively censored... as well Opera ASA nixed "MyOpera" and all of its 10+ year content - including user-created Opera Documentation|Tips.
Fuck Opera.
You are posting as if I haven't tried almost all of those. AftershotPro I haven't heard of. Ashampoo? Really? Look at their offerings, it comes across as a scam company that breaks down individual "features" into separate products. ArcSoft - photoediting. The only half-decent thing in your list is ACDSEE.
There certainly are a shitload of shitty products. My desktop is offline atm, but there's at least 40+ so-called-managers that I've downloaded and tested over the last 5+ years. Along with these handful on my laptop.
Image and Media manipulation is not an issue. IrfanView works just fine - along with all of it's commands being available from the command line. ImageMagick's command-line is fine, we use it on the servers --- it could be a bit less convoluted though.
My choice of "home" OS, hardly affects my choice of software. Most of the Linux stuff runs just fine - if you want to bother with no documentation and limited support. Yet I'm not going to install Java for ANY software. Period. Nor is a PHP/Perl/Python script a DAM (Digital Asset Manager).
A real example: PICASA. Before Google bought it, there was a healthy market for local Image|Media Management Software. Picasa was free (and decent) there were better ones though ---- or at least software that had actual options --- All of them died and are gone, except for a couple majors.
Or Email clients. There was Opera's M2 - dead. And I found "PostBox" last year, but well f' them. It's based on Firefox with "free updates between major versions". Bought in September 2014 - and not a single update was released.... until PostBox 4 - June 2015... with new icons and bugfixes. Pay Again. No Thanks.
We also have Hulu Plus, so we can catch Modern Family and The Middle --- although I don't know if we actually need the subscription anymore...
On another note, what the F is up with slashdot these days?
With the ability to go in any direction they wanted, from a design perspective. I fail to understand why there aren't extra "programmable" keys, it would of interested a much wider audience.
Usually, products will be "Packaged in America" or something similar. Canada among other countries requires the label at LEAST indicate where the product originates|comes from. Packaged in a country doesn't tell you squat.
> History:
Tiny Personal Firewall (the best firewall), is acquired by Keiro. Keiro Personal Firewall - still good, but the interface is dumbed down, and it has some issues.
Keiro's non-enterprise division is acquired by SunBelt. The Firewall and AntiVirus "suite" is garbage nearly at this point --- both hose your system if you install them. They are problematic to install, overly complex and unstable.
Sunbelt gets acquired by... yeah I don't recall now, but an "enterprise" company.
Oh, here it is:
Sunbelt Software was acquired by GFI Software Inc., in 2010, becoming the GFI Software Security Business Unit. GFI Software is a leading provider of IT solutions for small and medium businesses, and its Security Business Unit continued to develop and enhance VIPRE, ThreatAnalyzer and ThreatIQ among other security solutions.
GFI Software announced plans to spin off its Security Business Unit in 2013, when ThreatTrack began operations as an independent company.
Maybe it doesn't completely suck anymore? Yet at one point, their software was so shitty, many of us went back to the Keiro version from 2005, before they were acquired by SunBelt.
How is the "standard release" of Firefox, newsworthy in the least (to nerds)?
Nightly is at 41. Threading is improving, but most extensions still don't support the API that is needed in order to access "page content".
Firefox is about the only browser you can open dozens of tabs in. Even Opera 12 crumbles - if those pages contain primarily images... Opera (pre-blink) started falling apart years ago, as images in the 2000x3000px size or larger started becoming the norm.
It would seem appropriate, when a company wastes the courts time, by appealing until they get the verdict they want, they should also be billed for all the courts costs, for the current and all prior guilty verdicts.
Have you ever considered officially rebalancing|changing the GURPs mechanics that rely on 3d6 rolls? It has been my experience over the years, when trying to use the GURPs ruleset directly (with no house-rules) that the way the skills/stats interact - at least as far as nearly automatic success is concerned... is quite broken (easily) for non-super players with attributes 14-15+. Compare to say, HERO, which doesn't have an automatic-success problem so much as an overly obtuse|complex modifier issue.
Different models are definitely a problem, what's worse though are completely different products. Like this UTech Mouse --- also lists 3 other mice, and two keyboards. The reviews and "product ratings" are *shared* by 5 different products.
When the wife (in california) switched from contractor to full-time employee, the only thing that changed was she got paid less.
The equipment and software she uses is still "provided by the company."
Her performance reviews are still "done by her "company-provided manager".
While a contractor if she had of failed performance reviews, she would of been let go.
--- which is an actual difference, failed performance reviews (for non-contractors) will more likely get you coaching than the door.
I don't think so, you could take the blurb from the summary, and insert any of the major tech companies that use contractors.
Apple|Microsoft|Google controls (and builds) the tools that are used, monitors their approval ratings and terminates their access to the system if their [internal employee ranking system] fall below X."
None of those "facts" can be used to determine who is a contractor and whom is an part-time or full-time employee.
Take a mouse that has 2 thumb buttons, plus the standard Left/Middle/Right click.
If you assign Ctrl, and Shift to the two thumb buttons, then you get 4 states for each of the 3 standard mouse buttons --- without reaching for a keyboard yet.
As far as the natural/neutral positioning of your hands is concerned... The Wii Pro Stick is by far the most comfortable controller to hold, it also has the least amount of "thumb-travel" to switch from the Control Sticks to the D-Pad or Buttons.
Even with fairly large (long) hands, the bulkier/larger bodied controllers aren't any more comfortable.
At least the XBox Elite solves one problem that nearly all game-pads have -- half of your fingers are underneath the controller body, and are not needed to hold/support the controller --- a well designed controller will comfortably est on the bottom and sides of your palms, which leaves your fingers nothing to do at all.
What the XBox Elite doesn't solve is a console control-scheme problem --- the complete inability to use a button/key press as a modifier key... along with console games that assign disparate actions to the same button in a different context, instead of considering the flexibility of a modifier key.
These ask slashdots are really getting fucking stupid.
YOU take control of the conversation. YOU tell them what YOU've done. When they ask you to do Y. YOU say I've done XYZ. Then, if they still dont listen. Ask for Level 2, or Billing so you can cancel. Guess what? Someone will listen then.
