From the responses, I see everyone wants different things. We can't have everything and still be a lightweight browser. That's the problem with all browsers. They are trying to give everything that everyone wants.
I had to return my parents Comcast equipment when we sold their house. I took it to the local Comcast office. I was stunned by the level of security. Inch thick bulletproof glass. You couldn't even touch the workers, everything had to be passed through lock boxes which would only open on one side at a time. I personally live in a rural area. The local cable company is located in a converted ranch house. You can walk in and talk to them at any time. Just a counter you can step around, not even a door in the way. If Comcast needs that level of security to protect the workers, it must be one of the most hated companies around.
The company was going in the wrong direction before she was even hired. They hired her as a gamble to make a big change to save the company. It didn't work. Going back to the way it was is stupid, it wasn't working before. The only things worth keeping are its overseas holdings. The core company is worthless. Firing her and hiring a replacement won't change that. They took a big gamble and lost. There is no going back.
The base OS does not use 32 or 64 bit addresses. Like MS-DOS, you can run programs and utilities in a DOS extender which allows access to 32 bit code and addresses. When a processor is running in 64bit mode, it cannot access or run 16 bit software. So there is no way to build a 64 bit DOS extender which can return operation to a 16 bit OS.
Actually, the 640K limit came from the 20 bit external address bus of the Intel 8086/8088 processor. That gives 1 megabyte of address space. 640K to RAM, 384K to address hardware such as video, keyboard, clock, etc. MS-DOS was built to run on that hardware design.
Water freezes at a much higher temperature than many of the other compounds. You think it would have frozen first and be buried under everything else. Some action must bring it back up and deposit it on the surface.
All the best programmers used to work for IBM. IBM ruled computing. Who buys anything from them anymore? The great ideas started to come from other places, and IBM couldn't adapt. Apple may go the same way. Remember, IBM is still a big company. Just not cutting edge any more.
The pad abort test didn't need high speed parachutes. The in flight abort test does.
The pad abort test landing in water, so it didn't need the hover capability. Future attempts will be made on land.
These tests are being conducted to prepare for the MaxQ in flight abort test.

We have enough landing crash videos to last us a while. Might as well land one successfully now.

What do the users want that they aren't supplying? I haven't noticed a problem.
Yes. When a game is listed as for PC, it means Windows. Apple has never referred to its computers as PCs.

This place has 10 times more security than any local bank. I don't think they have that much cash on hand.

I don't think that technical support for your driver issue is a good reason to post on /.
But how much are they paying for these Yahoo services? If they aren't making more from them than they cost to operate, the company won't last.
If the tomato picking company is spending more money than it is making, yes, you should fire a bunch of people. That's what is going on at Yahoo.
Then there will be a /. thread complaining about why you should have been fired.
And the competent replacement will need to start off by firing thousands of workers. What competent person is going to want the job?

Next they will have to x-ray the riders to make sure they don't have mechanical implants.

Will this still run on the 80386, which was the original goal of Linux?
But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked
It's just pining for the fjords
