Note that it means also that the plane's safety procedure works, too. As with any software, I'm sure there are bugs left too. And as with any hardware, I'm sure there are design issues left too. Even with the most perfect testing procedure and coding practices, there can still be failures. We're only humans.
And that's not limited to Airbus. That's also not limited to planes.
They had to beat iOS. Can't do that with a closed source clone that isn't as good.Can do with an open source clone that's close enough, and allow rooting (aka "jail breaking") more easily.
they will eventually close up , maybe claiming pirating issues (what matters most is control tho)
Google are evil. Seriously tho. Google ARE evil in many ways. No matter how many great things come out. They are as evil as it gets. Everything think about the "open" Google yet, as you point out, most of it is GPL abuse (which is legal, but not moral). It's the same for all their products, behavior, data gathering, etc.
They're also geniuses. People DO believe they're angels. They DO believe they're open, and sharing. Evil geniuses.
About that, you should try pdfjs in Nightly. it's currently an addon, but i'm guessing eventually it might get integrated. that's the mozilla js pdf viewer. its very fast and light, much better than acrobat, and much better than anything i had so far because its so fast.
there are still some issues which i run into *sometimes* like editable fields that aren't always working, but for 99% of the tasks it's really cool.
that's pretty dumb. i was looking for some reasons you listed as like "oh yeah, hes right on that". and im just wondering "is that a plot from Googlers to up rank this AC comment?" instead.
Each point is wrong. if they were to follow ANY of the one listed, it would be their doom, but for real this time.
What they gotta do:
1) have a F* working update process. no screens. no nagging. no extensions breaking. just painless upgrade. that should have been done BEFORE rapid release even. but hey, its actually in progress 2) asynchronous UI. and its working in fennec. 3) have a few true innovations that make a difference (not UI changes that no one care about, seriously, the new statusbar, url bar, etc is fine, just like its fine in chrome). For example the side tabs on android tablets are awesome.
Hopefully 1. will be fixed soon. Chrome and Firefox are roughly as fast. Some pages load faster on Firefox. Some faster on Chrome. But ALL Google pages load faster on Chome (and Chromium of course). That's because they all use Google-only protocols (such as SPDY) which do make a difference.
That's how you segment the web by the way, even if it's using open source stuff. Thanksfully, for that very one (SPDY) it's going to be in Firefox soon, hence, 1 would be fixed soon. But I'm *sure* Google will find other ways.
They're probably going to include Chome-only tags (oh wait, they already do that! offline gmail anyone?) or NaCl components, or Dart only component.
And that's why Google's actually turning evil after all.
Chrome includes flash and a pdf viewer and both are binary. Also a terminal client, native code implementation, yada yada. if anything chrome's "bloated"
But the asynchronous UI is good. Fennec (Firefox for mobile) adopted *FINALLY* a truely asynchronous UI and let me tell you: it rocks. pure and simple. I just wish this will happen on Desktop too. That's the one thing to steal from Chrome (albeit it's a different technical implementation of it).
It basically means UI never blocks, nothing ever feels laggy.
They don't care about opera. It's not a technical study. It's a marketing study. Opera has no market share. Chrome's easiest target is Firefox. IE's easiest target is Firefox too, and they made a similar advertising study, where IE is on top of security, way ahead of Chrome - but not too much. Both put Firefox down.
All of them fail to mention other security features of Firefox. All of them fail to mention noscript and the like. (and before you ask a list, take a look at Firefox's separated memory management per tab, or frame poisoning protection, etc.) Also, no mention of CVE count of course, aka the actual discovered vulnerabilities.
That's just making a checklist where you put names of technologies that the opponent doesn't have, but don't put names of the ones you do not have. Then put a mark in front of them to make you appear better.
In the past they've been (as in all corporations) doing that for ages, Microsoft certainly did a lot of it. The difference here is that they now buy out companies to do it for them.
SPDY and WebM are not the same as Dart and NaCl. WebM is just plain good, no doubt. SPDY gave them an advantage since they had it first and others were shy to make such a hack (because it is a hack), however, its getting adopted since SCTP would be a pain.
Dart and NaCl received a strong push back from half or more of the community so I don't need to bore you with details you have already read.
So they enforce it - and they can, due to Chrome's grow rate and their hand over a lot of things. They buy out companies to develop for it. Microsoft style.
I'd point out that Firefox isn't dying. It's actively developed and fully open (top to bottom), faster than many in some areas (slower in some others - so far). Plus, it stills gains more users every day - its just that the others, well, THE other (Chrome) is gaining *even more* users per day.
The heavy advertising, bundling as opt-in and so on is probably working out. And that, and the Google integration you describe certainly reflect the issue.
Google finally will be able to control the web search, content, *your* content too,your apps, your endpoints, almost everything. They just failed to kickstart their ISP, but eventually, they'll succeed. And to kickstart ChromeOS, but there's Android, and eventually, they'll succeed too.
Scary? yes, damn scary. And in 5 years from now, there's no stopping them. The devs at Google will eventually realize that, and some probably did, but hey, wont spit on the high pay:)
The only way I know, is communicate, make people aware of the issue, and start using stuff that support *true* standards. Heck even IE10 is rather good, and Opera ain't bad either. Firefox too.
You can use Firefox Sync with your own server as well. The advantage is that it's integrated. Also if you don't choose that, full sync data is encrypted by your key.
I highly doubt Chrome will ever support natively syncing to your own server. Chrome sync data is only partially encrypted and only if you figure out how to enable that.
the fuzz is that it can run in the browser sandbox, a requirement for chrome extensions, and for firefox's "restartless" extensions/jetpack (not for the good old ones)
If you consider how many times the scientists have been wrong in history, you'll have a pretty good guess. Now non-scientists have been wrong too, so it's closer to say "humans have been wrong".
Bottom line: we actually don't know. There may, or may not be alien life. Heck, we don't understand the universe either.
We often pretend to be the best specie there is, because we kill all the other ones we've found so far (which makes it fun as we are afraid another specie from space would do that to us lol). And that therefore, we'd know a lot already. The thing is, we don't have really a scale of things, or if any, we're meaningless compared to the universe.

The license is not an argument against evilness. That's why it modded +5. People aren't that easily tricked anymore, sorry.
That's true, but that's a one time event. This probably won't happen ever again (sadly)

Yeah BSD is great to turn open source into proprietary software. woot woot.

I'll just mention Firefox is half the size of Chrome, on disk. (on Windows at least)
I'm sure you can link to the bug right? Yes? No? How convenient!

Chrome doesn't support DPI changes. And for that alone, it's UNUSEABLE for me. 1080p screen on a 13 inches.
Funny.
You're using the same tactic I pointed out Google is using.
September 2011, median of all worldwide browser usage statistics:
Opera 2.7% = Yay for CIS 10 users! 2.7% woohoo!
Chrome was at 20%, Firefox 25 and IE 38%. See the difference?
That doesn't mean Opera is a bad browser. In fact, Opera mobile is very, very good. But that doesn't mean one should write FUD now should it?
They don't care about opera. It's not a technical study. It's a marketing study.
Opera has no market share. Chrome's easiest target is Firefox.
IE's easiest target is Firefox too, and they made a similar advertising study, where IE is on top of security, way ahead of Chrome - but not too much.

No, you're entirely right.

Talking native syncs (not addons):
You can use Firefox Sync with your own server as well. The advantage is that it's integrated.
Also if you don't choose that, full sync data is encrypted by your key.
I highly doubt Chrome will ever support natively syncing to your own server.
Chrome sync data is only partially encrypted and only if you figure out how to enable that.
Of course, the deal with Mozilla is actually very juicy for Google.
They gain a lot more than they pay for.
As long as Firefox has a decent market share the deal will live on. This headline i just some Chrome fanboi line.
Remember the last attempt to have some "binary hard to read" format designed to "be more secure"? :-)
Hello wtmp horror
Thanks god Zap3 (which is a "hack" tool) can wipe or edit entries at will, better than the non-existing tools to manage it ;-)
I'll just add there are 2 common logging formats proposed to fix the formatting issue. :)
One is CEE and the other is CEF. Can Google em up
Systemd-journal's formatting is certainly horrific.
Yes and no.
How do you know if you lost messages? How do you know if some messages are removed?
Well, you don't. Some apps include a counter for this very reason AFAIK.
Regardless, in all cases, if someone compromises the logger, he can also make proper hashs/counts.
But until he does, being sure you get all messages is quite important.
(not saying that systemd is the right solution, but thats a problem)
the fuzz is that it can run in the browser sandbox, a requirement for chrome extensions, and for firefox's "restartless" extensions/jetpack (not for the good old ones)

in fact they wanted to tax Google because Google makes WAY more money than any ISP EVER made
but Google is very powerful, and the government is always controlled by the most powerful.
so the tax will go instead on the ISPs.
note that both ways are wrong, of course
