Decent rant, but he contradicts his own argument about how the USAF only likes sleek, fast air-to-air planes when he rambles on about how they loved the ugly, slow, air-to-ground F-117.
Sports oriented vehicles often sacrifice Cd to obtain downforce, since top speed is not advertised as heavily or reached as easily in many modern designs.
Short body length vehicles have less space to adopt Cd optimized forms than longer vehicles. The larger Model S has a claimed 0.24 Cd.
The liberal Democrats of 2000 are not the liberal Democrats of 1940. Why didn't you call them neoliberals, you moron?
The fact that the core missions of Democrats and Republicans have varied wildly over the existence of both parties just shows how limiting and misleading the whole R/D/. debate is.
Google has never provided binaries on their Chromium site and that has always seemed like a very deliberate choice to deter would be users.
To run Chromium (on Windows) you must to dig through third party sites which may or may not have the latest version of Chromium available and may or may not bundle adware garbage installers.
Chrome binary download links, in contrast, are featured prominently on many sites. It is heavily advertised.
The main advantage of Firefox has always been the add-on system, and these aren't getting ported to ARM. They're all x86. They're even having problem convincing add-on makers to recompile them for x64 version of the browser which is why it has remained a non-starter so far. ARM recompiling is basically "not going to happen" land, which means that Firefox on phones is just another browser that has no advantages over most of the other ones.
This is false. Firefox addons are interpreted Javascript, not compiled code. They work the same on all FF browsers. On Linux we've been running 64-bit for many years with no addon problems.
It's worth pointing out that the cause of this shortage is a political issue rather than a technical one. It started with a non-proliferation bill during the Carter era.
Candidates from elections are prone to endorse whatever view the polls say their constituents are interested in.
This recent election provided a great counterexample in the minimum wage increases that passed in 4 red states. There were no Republicans taking up this popular policy position.
DDG's search has become very close in quality to Google's these days, so whatever the reality of their privacy protection claims at least they no longer have reduced functionality compared to the market leader.
They are a worthy competitor on the merits now in a way they were not even 1 year ago.
Firefox existed before it was a huge business and it will still exist if the huge business aspect falls apart.
I don't think it's controversial to ask if all those Google millions really made the program's development arc better than it was in the more fallow old days.

Plenty of Iraq pilots got shot down by missiles far beyond the 100miles range without even ever noticing the F-15 or F-16 that shot the missiles.
Bullshit.
The only operational US missile to have sort of range was the Phoenix, which was carried by neither the F-15 nor the F-16.
It was launched exactly twice in its service history on the F-14 with no hits scored.
2 factors come to mind:

When Slashdot first gave me the option of disabling ads I had the same reaction...
"This site has ads?"
Did you see the AdNauseam story?

Finally get back some of the vertical space lost when every laptop and desktop downgraded to "HD".
It's time to retire this complaint because the fact is that screen resolutions have started to increase again
Your old 1200 pixel tall non-16:9 display isn't anything to brag about anymore. 1440p is quite cheap nowadays and 2160p is gaining traction.
It's among the worst nationalistic hogwash misconceptions ever, easily on par with North Korea rambling about its moon base.
Pretending that the EU is a singular nation in the way that the US or North Korea are is itself "hogwash".
And runs the comparison over several thousand files (or even hundreds of thousands, or millions)
Ah yes... the joys of Internet Art collecting!
True, but I have never seen anyone argue that "the main advantage of Firefox has always been the plugin system".
That's a halfhearted moisture application. Have her put them in her mouth instead so you get the full luck application.
The US might adopt this tech.
The kinds of fraud that have Washington Consensus stamps of approval don't involve physical bills and will not be impacted.

It looks like you are experiencing a sensation.
Would you like help?
_Get help with experiencing the sensation.
_Just experience the sensation without help.
_Don't show me this tip again.

I have read that half of the USA's total daily public transportation ridership is found in a single city... New York City
This one factoid portrays our public transport situation very well...
but we won't say who we are, eh?
Canada, is that you?

No, that disability probably makes it more likely you will be happily married.
You're not going back far enough. Check out what Nixon was doing in 1974.

.NET seems to be common for game modding/editing programs, actually.
I can play Borderlands 2 on Linux natively, but I have to use a VM to run the Gibbed save editor which is a .NET 4.0 program.
Just look for the tab which is running the Flash plugin and close it.
