Even if you don't, others do. I read plenty of comments on the link in TFA where people explained their setups. Many users are using ext for its featureset, and don't need compatibility with Windows systems.
The minute Google touches Gmail again to do any improvements, they're going to change the interface to their new cardifided bullshit, just like Google+ and Drive. I don't want them gimping the Gmail interface on the web with unremovable whitespace and hidden details.
That's 'cause he let the Indian programmers log in to his VPN directly. Always route your outsourced workers through your US computer to avoid suspicious IPs.
You mean let the whole UI stagnate so that the small minority can be satisfied? I don't think you understand how products are made. Yes, of course the onus is on you to make a customizable product look the way you want it to.
Besides, you can make the FF UI look like anything you want. Here's what a friend has his looking like, which is nothing like how I'd want to use a browser, but it shows off the extensibility of Firefox: http://i.imgur.com/587msTp.jpg
Except the whole draw of Firefox is its extensibility. If you just wanted a browser that wasn't Internet Explorer, why not use Chrome? Or Opera? Or Seamonkey? The whole problem that you've devised is in your head, not at Mozilla or the Firefox devs. If you don't like the UI, change it, that's the point.
For the sake of keeping these tools out of the greedy hands of corporations, I'd almost be okay with using GPL for this project. It's not a cool license for developers, but I'd almost consider the value for end-users more important in this case. Locking this technology up behind a paywall won't do anyone any good.
My Nissan Juke has a wireless key fob. I can just sit down in the car, and it's ready to start. No messing with fobs in a certain position or keys in a switch. Just sit down, press the break, tap the start button.

Which is exactly what happens with Android (see: microSD support debate). I'm glad the Chromebook community is nascent enough to avoid the sheeple.

Wernher von Braun, however, was an ex-Nazi.
The US became the space leader because the N-1 failed. Had the Russian moonshot rocket worked, they would have beaten us to the moon by a week or so.

Spiritual retreat.

Yeah, boo on progress! How dare the silly programs introduce new features! Let's just make our world a perpetual 1999.

Wait, you're telling me that Uber drivers aren't trying to make a profit? That's news to me.
Have you been awake for the last 20 years? Putin does not bluff. If anything, Putin is the revolver in Russian Roulette.
I came here to write something like this, but the parent nailed it. I have no mod points, someone please mod him up.
Are you sending anonymous statistics? Or allowing auto-complete in the browser bar? All of these features rely on data being sent to Google's servers.
...the sky is blue.
Carry on.
Same here. I'd jump at the chance to get LASIK if the technology was there, and I had the money.
Unfortunately, I fear that's a distinct possibility.
This ticket would be a high schooler by now. Scary thought.
Your math skills need work.
He's confusing Windows ME with Windows 2000, which are two completely different releases.

I'm pretty sure your traditional-starting car's battery would be just as susceptible to an EMP blast. Better break out the hand crank.
lol,wut?
I'm sure at some point, someone thought the same of missiles, cannons or even bow & arrows. Eventually, a defense will be discovered.
