Automobile firmware - so we can keep companies such as Tesla honest by not sending home every piece of obscure data they have on the driver back home
i wonder how hard that is to achieve by a hardware hack. Just disconnect the antenna or something. Of course the car's firmware can't be updated anymore then, but is that really a bad thing? The car also can't be remotely hacked anymore, which is a plus.
You can't expect a 3D modeling program to be as 'simple' as Photoshop and Gimp and the like. Introducing that extra dimension while still using a 2D screen just opens a big can of worms concerning the interface.
Thank you for restoring a bit of confidence in Firefox in me. I tried Chrome, but FF has a few things I find very handy, like the 'Show All Bookmarks' command that opens a little bookmarks manager. So I will hang on to Firefox for longer. As to the flash thing: I review free adventure games at Adventure Gamers every month, together with my co-writer. Of course Adventure Gamers has no influence whatsoever over the choices of engine the game developers use. Luckily most people see the need to find an alternative to Flash and more and more games appear using other engines. But some are still stubbornly clinging on to the dying horse. We'll see how that turns out.
I have been using Firefox since the Netscape days but I'm quickly losing patience with it these last months. It was getting slower and slower, and they kept promising that it would be faster. The last version would be really fast, they said. I have it on my Macs, and on both of them it often just hangs for tens of seconds during loading a page. It's getting unusable so I am now thinking about switching to another browser, after more than 20 years. If version 57 turns out to be as bad as it sounds here, FF will be sent out the door. Which brings me to my question: what is a good cross-platform alternative to FF? I need it to be able to synchronize bookmarks. And it has to be able to run Flash. I need that for my work, unfortunately.
No it is not. FF is the only main stream browser apart from Safari that doesn't send your browsing data to its maker to sell it for money. So if you care about your privacy you should use FF. Then again, most people, including myself, use FF to browse to Google or FB or you name it, so that point has become moot over the years.
That's an argument religious people use a lot to 'prove' their point. They ask you: "Were you there?" when you talk about dinosaurs or other things that are older than 6000 years. I'd rather trust experts in their field than someone who tells me I'm ignorant without giving any proof.
We had one at school, back in the early 1980s. I learnt some BASIC on it and we played Eliza on it. Good times. It was the only computer we had at school so we couldn't spend hours and hours on it. Later we got a classroom full of Commodore 64s and a clueless teacher. He did his best and was interested in learning to program them but he also taught physics so he just didn't have enough time for that.
I think many of his voters are disappointed with Trump and will vote differently next time. The problem is: four years is not enough time for the next president to clear out the enormous mess Trump has made even in the six months he has now been in office. So the people will be disappointed in the next president too, and will vote for a new con man (if available) next.
Indeed. The rule is that articles with a question in the title answer this question with 'no,' but in this case a resounding 'YES' is in order. So the question should be: Is Our Privacy Safe in the Smart City?

Easy. 17 words. First word... sounds like...
What good drawing and illustration applications are there? I don't mind paying for one if it's not too deer.
Oh, a Mac version of Corel Draw would be fantastic! I now use Inkscape, which works but lacks a lot of CD's functions.

It's not hidden. It's in the settings menu. You're right about Chrome though. I think I will go there too. FF is just getting too bad.

So why should I use this over Chrome? It sure looks the same to me.
Because Chrome is a way for Google to learn more about you and make money with that data.
Mac OS.
Indeed, starting up a web browser in order to take a screen shot is counterintuitive and ridiculous.
In the old days you just ignored IE only sites.
My opponent has started using profanity. That means I have won the argument.

That's a chilling display of ignorance but unfortunately not chilling enough to compensate for global warming.

If it was a crappy safe it would take 30 seconds to open it, not 30 minutes.
That's strange. I could play the video on my iPad, which doesn't have any Flash software.
We do understand them. However, we also understand that a lazy narcistic lunatic con man is not fit for the presidency.
its.

Maybe not in the US but it did happen in Europe. Philips even had its own pension system, and it was not alone in that.
