Well, you kind of just supported the statement you were attacking: "Google Chrome is arguably the best browser...". Well, you disagreed and argued. What's the problem?
As to your actual points, I disagree with number 1. Tabs do not BELONG anywhere except where each user wants them. Your own arrogance sucks.
Number two, of course it was created for that.
Number three, this Pale Moon is new to me, I'll check it out, thanks! I loved Firefox back when it was still Firebird...hate to see what it's become these days...
I really don't know. Depends on power consumption, more data means more power...might have to upgrade to bigger/more power lines to the devices...maybe that's what they've already accounted for. Same with data lines.
The 5G spec isn't stable yet, and isn't the 6G spec just a glint in someone's eye at this point? Not sure how he could have "baked in" support for them yet...
It's easy. You've already got the tower!
All you have to do is change the equipment, data lines, power lines, and antennas!
Or maybe "baked in" support means the tower supports are literally baked in clay...
Basically; we had these in the Marine Corps. They sucked. Army has more money, so maybe they'll be able to/willing to devote more money into the development and make them not suck.
Still an extra piece of gear to keep track of and take care of and inventory and pack and carry...not worth it.
One of my favorite passwords was based on the word wizard. I didn't often type z's, let alone x's...I set up a new Linux box and my root account (before all this safe don't-ever-use-root-use-sudo bullshit). Trying to log on to my system the first time, I couldn't get the password right no matter how careful I was.
Finally, I decided to type it quickly and see what "muscle memory" did. wixard.
Ahh! There it was, a simple typo (I had to type it at the prompt to see what the text actually came out to be), but made my "wizard130" intended password a little bit stronger: "wixard130". Not much, but a bit. Me and a buddy used variations on that for years. I still use it on some of my offline Linux boxes because that's one that I'll never forget.
Autocorrect be damned; let the users mess up their own shit and quit automatically fixing stupid.
I can set up a computer for my HTPC, and have a remote for it, one for my surround sound, one for my TV, plus navigating the inputs for my XBox, maybe putting it all through the HTPC so I can recor..
But I'm married. My wife needs simple. TVersity was almost too much for her; Netflix, Plex, antenna. All controlled from the TV and the same remote that is designed specifically for that TV.
I also have visitors. They'd much rather not learn the intricate in's and out's of some weird cobbled-together (as they see it (and as it really would be!)) system just to watch TV.
No, instead I can tell them, "The big V button in the middle opens up the option for Netflix of Plex. Plex is my own movie collection. Navigate it the same as Netflix." That's it, done. And I didn't have to spend hours and days configuring user interfaces and setting up remote controls.
- she uses google task with dates and they show up in google web interface in the calendar as events, but while ubuntu phone do synchronize the calendar, it do not synchronize the tasks and they never show in the ubuntu phone calendar
She's not alone, though this is a Google Calendar issue, not Ubuntu: Clicky. As far as I know, this issue is still relevant.
I use(d) tasks to schedule all my bills; since they don't sync easily, I instead set them all to be all-day events, and they show up at the top of each day similar to how a task would display. Fairly simple workaround, but I was annoyed that I had to do it.
Let's quit wasting time saying the world is going to go to shit because we're burning up too many fossil fuels. We know. 200 years, 237 years...let's just start working, now, to fix it.
Hell, in under 10 years we went from stuck within a few thousand feet of our planet to walking on another celestial body. We can kick this fossil fuels habit. All we have to do is quit bickering about how hard it is and put our axes to the grindstone.
For myself, The Project I want to create is currently beyond my skills. I've done a R/C car programmed in assembly to not be R/C and to keep itself away from walls. I've done serial communication to monitor temperature of a brewery bright tank in C. I've done a single-seat car with self-driving capability in C++. I did a text-based adventure game in C. I'll need other projects to build me up to where I want to be, but I'd like them to be something interesting.
I'm currently working on putting a team together to build Something that can hopefully work us towards my Project...but ideas of WHAT to actually create are few and far between for us, something interesting that won't bore us to death. Certainly one could break down each component and learn that: I need graphics editing, network communication, user interface, social network integration, data analysis, mobile...
I know I really should just sit down and code stuff; do some smaller boring projects, but again I find myself: do what? I know the ends I'm working toward, it's the path there that I'm unsure about. I've noted a handful of good ideas and advice in this thread that I'll undoubtedly take up.
Some people are definitely in the "dot bomb" category and picked it up to make money. I know of 3 I met at school who quit CS because they couldn't hack it. I think the majority that are learning because they are interested might be in a similar situation as me: knowing we have to build up, and needing these intermediate projects to continue. But WHAT intermediate projects. Maybe the key is to create small projects to mimic components like I stated above, or like re-writing a library for practice. Again though, boring.
This isn't a bad idea. I just took an Applied Aerodynamics course where the instructor gave us some software he created...he kept touting it's user-friendliness and whatnot...
To solve different systems, you have to change the values in the code, and recompile. This is not a user interface. To top it off, he didn't know how to begin a Visual Studio project without precompiled headers, and several class sessions were spent troubleshooting this for various students.
I took the code, rewrote it in Java, am building a frontend, and will try to make an Android interface for it. Should be fun.
But our course wasn't about coding or editing source code; it was about changing some values, hitting "Go" and interpreting the results returned in text files. Because of this terrible setup, I was required to have a laptop during the exam and I don't even own a laptop! If there were a proper interface, it would have saved 3 or 4 class period, and we could have spent more time on aerodynamics.
Long story short, I completely agree with parent; talk to the engineering instructors, especially the higher-level courses. I also recall seeing, in several textbooks, end of chapter problems that ask to write a program to solve a system; most of these were in Thermodyamics. Maybe ask students if they've seen anything like that and code some of those up.

I think you're right on point, and the implication is that they threw it away to dispose of evidence of faking the explosion.
I don't get the need to constantly rename the same thing over and over. Just don't kill products that people actually like that work Google.
Not a Star Wars fan, then, huh?

That's what I'm waiting for. I'll do it myself if I have to, but I'd rather someone with a faster connection begin the seed.

The next step addresses those other avenues, don't worry.

...I really don't trust either of these two companies anymore.
They were trustworthy once?
Should I downgrade to Microsoft Windows so that I can become as exasperated as some of my friends ?
Do you hate yourself? If so, then yes, join your friends.
This is exactly the problem: the terrorists won.
Because that costs more than they're going to lose in customers leaving.

Who's got the oil Chantrix?
Right. Why do we have to suffer because some idiots can't manage to make sure their cursor is in a text box?
Did Youtube demand money from her in exchange for fire, theft, and kneecap insurance?
I hope so.

Suck it up, buttercup (as my wife loves to say)!
Wait, you're not charging for this, are you?
Tribes and Mechwarrior. Yes. Haven't played Eve Online much but that could be tons of fun, too! Also the Wordpress without LAMP.

I have the other side of your problem: a (beginner) team together that wants to make a video game, but no good ideas of what to make!
