And as I regularly do, just going to remind everyone that there IS a Linux build available. It might not have the sexy installer but it's easy to install and update anyway.
I've been amazed, and not in a good way, since Mozilla has started their code cleanup project. People had been complaining for years that Mozilla was throwing every bell and whistle into Firefox adding bloat and bugs. Now that they have found out the users are right and start removing the bloat and bugs, all the users can [still] do is bitch.
Because they're different groups of users. It's not one unified group.
That, or the FF users who wanted the browser stripped down have already jumped ship and we're just hearing the ones who are still around who like the bloat anymore.
The leaky inflatable canoe that Firefox is goes tits up on 20 tabs, on a machine with 8 gigs, and most people don't have 16 or 32 gigs
Horseshit. I've had hundreds of tabs open on a seven-year-old machine with only two gigs of RAM, running Windows 7, just last summer (so like around version 38).
Of course, that was a bit rough until they added the "don't load tabs until you click on them" feature like a few years back.
Now I'm running Pale Moon with Tree-Style Tabs, and the most trouble I have with my browser is when PM and Chromium decide to get into a slapfight for no reason and drag down the entire machine. I literally can't even remember the last time I've had FF/PM crash on its own. Maybe if you don't run an adblocker or NoScript and visit horrible sites...
All 20 of you guys posting this same question could just scroll to a random point in this comment thread, read for 2 minutes, and hit a comment explaining why not.
Well, if he somehow manages to do it before some court case gives the TLAs the legal right to do it themselves, technically that's a win? Or at least a temporary absence of a loss.
Let's go on pretending like the NSA actually gives a shit whether something is legal or not.
You can easily clone an encypted DVD exactly and be able to play it anywhere.
You can? I thought they were still doing that thing where the DVD burner's firmware wouldn't let you write to the inner track where the factory-pressed discs have some of their auth logic. So you end up with a copy of all the information on the DVD you actually care about, but compliant players will recognize it as a forgery since it doesn't have the secret sauce.

Hmm...come to think of it, in this context that's a rather ambiguous statement.

Replacing Firefox with the very browser it was supposed to supplant is deliciously ironic.

Chrome won't allow for it, neither will Pale Moon.
Yes it will. Tree-Style Tabs. I've been using it for the last year at least.

(It says "incompatible" but most of them either have an interim patched version, or you can run a slightly older FF version)

Hrm. *Pot calling the copper kettle black.

6) Uber? How about your car earns you money ferrying people about while your sat at your desk at work.
It'll be hilarious the first time somebody figures out how to hack the car to claim ownership.
"Sir--Sir, please stop hotwiring me. I am calling the authorities."
If you were a programmer you'd understand why we don't have that much trust in computers.
missing the point
Copper kettle calling the pot black...
Automatic navigation versus armed guards are in no way the same, and you claiming they are doesn't make them.
And has nothing to do with the discussion
Well I guess we'd all better stop arguing with dave420 if he's the sole authority on what is germane to the conversation.
APK thinks spamming slashdot is good advertising... Definitely not for his doctor.
And finally, why the heck would you feel the need to have such a targeted and snide signature?
If the MPAA works anything like the RIAA, very little if any of the money you pay for your discs ends up in the actual artists' pockets.
Reagan was elected at 69. Sanders, if he wins, will be elected at 74.
Yeah, I'm sure we all have to panic about him immediately dying and not vote for him for that reason.
How much you're "worth" is dependent on someone actually being willing and able to pay you that amount.

Unless you mean Kanye beat up somebody involved.
No, they're just overhyped and good for creating bacteria that are resistant to whatever is in them.
"Kills 99.9% of bacteria"...yeah that number definitely doesn't sound pulled out of someone's ass to make good marketing.
more athletes will be (compromised by (the vaccines) and (the toxic chemicals in the hand "sanitizers"))
I don't think he was saying there are vaccines in the sanitizers.

He hasn't been associated with the antivirus software that bears his name in a very long time. He sold it before it went down the tubes.
