Yeah, now I'm picturing some misguided idiot wandering into one of these houses to "prove a point," the owner blows him away, and they use that as "evidence" that the gun owners are crazy and should have their guns taken away.
He assumes that the home invaders are never going to invade someone else's home and end up killing *them*, too, which seems to prove the very view he's arguing against.
I'd call that a decision that only the guy who intervened could make. And he did, so it would appear that he considered the risk to his own life to be worth it.
You mean the completely irrelevant second quote that was shoehorned into the middle of the summary?

Yes, that's what everyone says to do, but it doesn't work. It still inserts new tabs at the right end of the tab bar. Middle-clicking on a tab puts it next to it, sure, but that's not everything.

Plus, customization requires code to handle customization changes.
The more damning part is where the customization code already existed, but they keep taking it out.
One example that immediately springs to mind is the old download window--clean, efficient, did one thing and did it very well. Now it's been converted into the Library window with a bunch of shit I don't care about (and didn't they mash the Bookmarks window into it, too?). For the first version or two after that, they had an about:config setting to revert to the old one. Now they killed that.
Another--the status bar. Killed, but they added "add-on bars" to compensate. Now those have been killed, my Status4Evar is apparently dead (not so "forever" after all...), and the ~tooltip that used to be in the status bar when you hovered over a link is now crammed into a tiny text field only 2 inches across up in the right corner that's not even wide enough to display some fucking top-level domain names! I am literally unable to imagine how they could make that particular feature more inconvenient.

Just tried switching to Pale Moon in the last week here, and I like it (it brought back the classic download window! and status bar!). Only a couple little niggles: It seems to ignore the "open tab next to the current one" setting mentioned in the FAQ (but I use a vertical tab addon anyway so it doesn't really matter) and the close X for the search is on the opposite side of the bar from Firefox...but I'm half-conditioned to do a C-F Esc to close it anyway.
There *is* in fact a workable Linux version; you might just have to find it on Google since IIRC it wasn't listed on the official website as it's an unsupported build.
So...basically, anyone whose job involves doing physical actions gets your thumbs-up? Sounds like theoretical physicists would be lower-middle and prostitutes would be near the top.
Are you going off some other source that describes the plot? Your link says they travel back in time to (presumably Earth's) prehistoric times. Not really the same as going to an alternate universe...unless they also go to prehistoric parts, the argument could be made. But more or less all the big ideas have already been done in sci fi, haven't they?
If the first few seasons of Doctor Who are any indication of quality in the mid 60's, this is one of the few exceptions where I'd be in favor of a reimagining/refilming/whatever.
There are 1000 cubic meters in a metric ton...so divide that efficiency by 1000? So a ton of granite is worth about 1/2 barrel of oil after you've separated out the relevant elements?
Even granite, as has been pointed out by Harrison Brown (1954) and by Brown and Silver (1955), contains about 13 grams of thorium and 4 grams of uranium per ton, which is equivalent to about 50 tons of coal or 220 barrels of petroleum per metric ton of granite.”
Metric ton, not cubic meter. I'm having a hard time motivating myself to do the conversions necessary to compare cubic meters of granite to metric tons, but Wikipedia says granite has a density of ~2.7 g/cm^3 so knock yourself out.
Unfortunate for any people who are, to extend the analogy, hit by a flaming satellite when we start deorbiting them by the thousands and decide it's no longer worth insuring; not unfortunate for the company not seeking the insurance, since we've already established that they will in fact save money.

What could possibly go wrong

I applaud that.

You're right. They should have stopped at the previous version.
No, they *should've* stopped at 3.6 or 4. People in hell want out; they'll settle for water.
Damn progression! Who cares if most consumers are drawn to a minimalist interface.
A) I want to see those metrics.
B) Most consumers are idiots.
C) I don't own a tablet. Stop ramming tablet interfaces down my throat.
We want it to look the same. Forever.
Damn straight. I know how it already works. Are you a Ribbon fan, too? Or Unity?
N/A
Exactly what I've been saying, every word.
Time for the rats to flee the sinking ship. SeaMonkey or Pale Moon.
I notice that Status4Evar no longer works in 9 either. Fuck figuring out how to fix Firefox for the 12th time; I'm going full Pale Moon.

Hell, I'd like any sci fi on TV these days. I want my spaceships, dammit!
Producting, have producted, will product. What's your point?

It's like "gifting" something..."to product" is "to make a product", right?
I thought I had massaged Google into spitting out that result in their unit converter somehow....hmm. Can't seem to duplicate it now.
Oh snap. I never actually thought of that. A tip of my hat to you, sir.

I guess it all depends on your definition of "a lot," yes. But apparently I'm just a "pea-brained Marxist fuckwit."
In that money was spent by the government and the end result was cheaper access to oil, can't the argument be made that it was in fact a subsidy?
