I traded in my TDI for a Bolt. You get used to 'single pedal mode' pretty quickly and it's actually less tiring than driving normally. Moving your foot back and forth is way more intensive, doubly so in stop and go traffic. You can still smash the normal brake if there's an emergency. I feel like you'll stop sooner due to the fact that it'll already be slowing while you're moving between pedals while a gas car would just be coasting.
How do you drive normally if you can't keep your foot on the pedal? Relying on cruse control constantly seems way more hazardous.
I just looked at the users statistics for Classic Theme Restorer. I'd think an increase of 7962% in users from version 28 to 29 would suggest a good chunk of the Firefox user community doesn't in fact like the new UI. Granted that's not the entire userbase, but the number of people using the addon is still increasing.
I used to be a theme developer until this update, but with the recent UI changes I give up. I've been dealing with their crappy versioning system which makes addon development and testing a total pain in the ass, but this is just too much. There are only so many things I'm willing to fix. With 28 I was running 6 addons just to restore basic theme functionality and adding even more and getting a 'kinda but not quite what it was' look with 29 isn't worth it.
I don't understand why the UI needed 'fixing'. Where there a sea of complaints coming in that I couldn't see? The only ones in bugzilla seem to be people asking for old features to be restored or to fix the memory problems. I guess this means the UI is more important then all the other bugs at this point. I suspect we'll be seeing a spike of people stuck on 28, or just dropping Firefox entirely. If you want a Chrome browser you pick Chrome, and not a knockoff clone.
Just sharing the love (or the protection from decisions for the sake of everyone): this extension apparently allows you to hide the tab bar complete (didn't check), and this hiding the tab bar when single-tab browsing.
And wasn't it Mozilla who complained that the main reason Firefox ate up so much memory was because people were running 'too many addons'? It seems we're nearing a point where Firefox is only an addon manager, and all the functionality is addon based.
This removal of features is getting extremely irritating, I want to customize my browser to look the way I want it to, not some dev, not some group of self-proclaimed experts. If I wanted lack of choice I'd be using IE or Chrome. What worries me is that fact that the new UI 'upgrade' (aka Australis) looks almost exactly like Chrome. I have a feeling once it oozes from the ground and smears itself all over the interface even more addons will be necessary to restore the classic look and feel.
I agree, I was only pointing out how Alt+F4 is easy to find in the dark.:)
Some interfaces are going to be more efficient than others depending on where your hands are at the moment. For most desktop usage a touchscreen is going to be the furthest thing from your working area. Even more so for a media center PC, unless the remote is the touchscreen.
Personally I never understood the reasoning for hiding the keyboard shortcuts entirely. I think it started with XP? I know it looks a little cleaner, but how are you supposed to know what keyboard shortcuts do when the visual hints have been totally disabled? I know they can be turned back on, but what's the chance of the average user even finding the option?
Totally intuitive... unfortunately, ALT + F4 is one of those "look in order to find it" sequences, that are much harder to find than other shortcuts in the dark.
I disagree, Alt is right next to the spacebar and F4 has a physical break between it and F5 on most desktop keyboards.
Both keys are pretty easy to find by touch in the dark, although it does require you to know the basic layout.
Mod parent up! I just spent the last 30 minutes reading about Norman Borlaug on Wikipedia. I have no idea why I've never heard of this man, his accomplishments are amazing.
I played a bit with the beta, but I just can't get used to Metro. Maybe it's because my monitors aren't touch sensitive. Seems like it would be a decent tablet UI, but on the desktop it's just too cumbersome. Hopefully they'll let people turn it off in SP1, otherwise I'll probably be on 7 until 9 comes out.
In actual money terms. I'm sure it's done quite a bit to harm both theirs and the US' reputation. I can't believe they would attempt to do something that they should already know they legally can't do. At least the lawsuits that will likely result from this should be a little interesting.
I really wish the government was able to kick out incompetence before things got to the 'scandal' level. It always seems like they're reacting to the latest disaster instead of preventing it from happening.
I think that only the thin black line at the end of the larger black line is recent proxies. It looks like the large black line was the mean. There's a good chance I'm wrong here though.:)
Although, looking at that chart it would appear that the mean has never moved much beyond 0.5 over baseline. It would appear that the latest graph shows 0.6 over baseline and is continuing to trend upwards.
When was Steam dropping credit card numbers everywhere?
My PS3 hasn't even been physically connected to the internet since the incident. Screw their Trophies, I can get most PSN games on the 360 or PC anyway.
I also haven't bought anything from Ubisoft since the incident with Silent Hunter. I can wait with the hopes they'll eventually come around and patch all this crap out. I have to confess though: I did buy Assassins Creed 2 for the 360. I did, however, go out of my way to grab a used copy.
I've never understood the 'PS3 is quieter' argument.
I have both the 360 and a PS3 and, while the 360 does start being more noisy then the PS3, the PS3 eventually becomes louder after about 20 minutes of being on as the fans switch to higher speeds.
Both are horizontal and sitting in an open media rack with no sides, and the PS3 has done this since I bought it. It may be because I'm operating it at high altitude, but I suspect I may just be unlucky.

Not to mention that if you're running an older version of Windows you CAN'T upgrade to a newer Intel processor due to a lack of functioning drivers.
Do they also prevent you from transferring it? I could see if they blocked payments but blocking transfers would be super shady.

You MAY want to look at an alternative like Pale Moon. The UI option still exists in that fork and I don't expect them to remove it.
For reference, it looks like they pulled it out here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=851701
Yes. In about:config set browser.tabs.closeButtons to 3.
This only works in Pale Moon; this setting has been removed from Firefox proper.

That's an unusual and quite unexpected number of tagged categories.
NZ purposly made legal mistakes and are now intentionally hindering the US!
Wouldn't that also imply that they purposely killed megaupload? What would they gain from that?

Yep, moved all 18 of mine. I've been unhappy with their service for some time, and this finally gave me the little extra push needed.

Except for all the people still on XP, which has no native IPv6 support... http://www.techi.com/2010/10/windows-xp-still-the-most-widespread-windows-os/ and the fact that MacOS still doesn't work quite right with it... http://openradar.appspot.com/7333104
Since a standard 2003 install can live pretty happily with a 10GB system drive, but a 2008 install needs over 30GB to function.
