God, it's sad how quickly Firefox has become such a joke. It wasn't all that long ago that it was the best browser around. Now it's so far back it will likely never catch up. And Servo? LOL! It makes Firefox look superb, Servo is so frigging awful!
I remember huge excitement around Version 3.0 release (which corresponds with the absolute peak in the trend in 2008)
Then they started going on a 45 minute release cycle, moving menus around randomly, and adding Hello, Pocket, and other useless addons. Now I dread Firefox updates.
I deploy an image with Firefox (company standard), think I set all the required defaults: Clear history on exit, don't remember passwords, etc.
Restore the image and I get "You haven't used Firefox in a while, do you want to reset it and restore defaults? Do you want to use Reader view?" WTF? Get out of the way!
If the battery is dead enough that remote entry doesn't work, it's unlikely to have enough power for the fuel pump, ECU, and injectors for a bump start.
Three of them? Microsoft is still updating Windows XP. Just not consumer versions. Embedded and POSReady versions of xp have updates till 2019. When companies pay exorbitant amounts for extended xp support, Microsoft is just giving them updates they already wrote for embedded versions.
They never released a rollup / service pack at XP EOL. Windows update servers still remain active for EOL versions. Just no new updates. Regardless WSUS Offline will let you build a backup of available updates.
I no longer believe you take yourself seriously or ever form coherent sentences at all, instead preferring to go through life just rambling whatever incoherent jumble of words produces itself from the mass of diseased tissue you call a brain.
I initially read this as "deceased". It had the same effect.
Back in the Windows 9x days I remember adding a realmode program to autoexec that would compensate for natural drift in the clock. Sync the clock to atomic, sync it again in a week when it was way off, and then it would calculate the error and continuously apply it to the RTC. It worked surprisingly well.
but there is right and wrong and I think they should pack up and leave the US. I think that would be big bump for others to follow. As a Apple hater and a Canadian I for one would welcome the Apple job creating Overlords into Canada with open arms.
They can move into Waterloo and hire all the ex-RIM employees.
uBlock Origin is still working just fine. I suggest you move away from ABP immediately and shift over to something which hasn't, yet, been corrupted by the industry.
More than that, uBlock bases itself around higher performance than ABP. That was the reason I switched.
What's different between Windows RT and Windows CE ?
I would say that WinCE is designed to run native applications (like iOS), while WinRT is designed to run.net bytecode on CLR (like Android running Java bytecode on Dalvik.
I would say WinCE is unrelated to the WindowsNT architecture used on Windows XP/Vista/7, etc. It still seems to operate like the PDA operating system it's based on. I have experienced WinCE 6.0 on embedded applications. At first blush it "looks" like XP, only because it borrowed Luna theme, but applications are coded on a different API, and it's fundamentally different than normal Desktop versions of Windows.
Windows RT is Windows 8 (a release of Windows NT) recompiled for ARM processors. Control panels, everything, is the "same" as x86 Windows 8. Although it requires jailbreaking, it can run x86 Win32 desktop applications if they are simply recompiled for ARM. The preferred way to load apps is from Microsoft's store, so they can own your device. This is using newer APIs (WinRT API aka Metro apps). The same app can be recompiled to target x86 Windows 8, or ARM WindowsRT. Unfortunately it was a failure to make this optional. So of the few Metro Apps in their store, even fewer were recompiled to target ARM.
It was a single lane with enough width (normally) to accommodate two vehicles for the purposes of facilitating right turns. In this case, the lane was unexpectedly narrowed by sand bags, so two vehicles attempted to share the lane briefly when there was insufficient space. Fault in these cases is difficult to determine. Technically, since it is still considered a single lane, the bus should not have the right of way.
Based on the street view it looks like it's primarily that wide to facilitate the ability to park, and drive, in the same lane. By the same note if a parked car pulls out in front of a bus is it still the bus's fault? The report mentions it is an articulated bus. That means it's even heavier and less maneuverable than a normal bus.
The article mentioned the car signaled the intention to turn right, however there was no mention whether it canceled the signal, or signaled left to indicate the desire to move into the center portion of the lane. This could be confusing / conflicting information for the bus driver. A stopped (or virtually stopped) car in the right side of the lane, near an intersection, with a right turn signal, is not expected to move left.
Personally, I'd like to see copyright changed to be 14 years automatic, then extendable by application in 7 year increments.
To me it should be 20 years full stop, like a patent. In the case of a major "pop culture" hit, the majority of revenue should be in the first 5 years. In the case of a creator, 20 years is 2/3-1/2 of a career, and more than enough time to recoup costs from one project.
I hate being coerced to "donate" to a charity. I'll donate however much I want, to whatever charity I chose. Plus rather than a random basket being passed around, if my donation is actually registered, I can get a tax receipt, so I can actually spend more on charity.
The problem I think comes in when fractions or percentages below 1% try to be expressed.
The newer batteries at 5cm are half as big. The newest batters are a fifth the size at 1cm. The bleeding edge batteries are 0.5% the size at 50 Micrometers.
You are there already - or at least most people are. When I turned on my smartphone the first time, it wanted a credit card number. This ostensibly so I can purchase "apps". Most people accept that, because they get themselves some nice $1 apps/games - no big expense.
I refused. As in "do that later" and never following up.
There are some cheapo apps I would like too. But I will NOT have my phone linked to a credit card. First, there are these "in-app purchases" they try to trick you into at every opportunity. I refuse to take part in that show. Then, there is rtb61 robbery scenario: someone mug me for my phone, simply to "buy" the mafia's $999 "app" and get some kickback? That is possible already, with the credit card link.
I'll happily buy some cheap apps the day I can use the credit card and not have the phone remember it. Similiar to how I use the credit card for web purchases - the browser/pc/os do not remember the number. I enter it everytime, someone stealing my PC would not get it. And "in-game" purchases won't happen from a PC/game with no idea of my payment details.
Can't you get both Apple iTunes and Google Play store gift cards from a brick and mortar store, paid with cash, to then use to buy apps?

Peak Firefox happened with Version 4.0. It was all downhill from there:
Firefox Popularity trend. Relative peak at March 2011
Firefox Release history

I remember years ago (15?) there were companies that would pay you to watch ads by allowing a toolbar in the browser.
I set up a macro to make it think the computer and browser were active. I think I made all of $100. This was in real dollars, sent as a check.
The notifications also block the "extended" tray icons when present.
More likely he forgot to turn off the car when he parked.

The last time I installed Windows 98 (years ago) you had to manually install IE6, then Automatic updates worked.
Also Windows 98 doesn't support USB mass storage out of the box. You need Third party Drivers on Network,CD, or floppy.

To bad a similar algorithm is not still used.

When Firefox crashes and is restarted, the tabs will be unloaded. They will only load once the tab is activated.

Here's someone that basically parked in the passing lane of a highway to help ducklings cross the road. They were charged with criminal negligence causing death when they were rear ended by a motorcycle that killed the riders

Not as awkward as your use of quoting.

I like the free version of PDF-Xchange viewer. I found it outperforms Adobe and FOXit in performance, and included annotation features.
I also get annoyed when Chrome and Firefox keep showing PDFs in their shitty built in viewers.
Oh and GIFs bottomed out in 2011, and have been rising, and are now back up to 2007 levels
