I think you're confusing this with JavaScript. Yes it shares Safari JavaScript but there is no technical reason to not port the HTML and CSS layout code
I would happily use it considering I keep getting Chrome hijacked with short battery life and a hand warmer on Android as it doesn't support extensions to block these. If Edge has extensions like ublock it would be a game changer
I can't believe anyone would even support XP? There has to be only about a dozen users running Vista. I think any software should just stop support when the OS is not receiving any kind of extended support. When that ends, everything should end. Enabling people to use a OS that old is not benefiting anyone.
XP is very popular and has die hard users even on slashdot with titles like "YOU CAN TAKE XP AWAY FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!" Etc. Windows 10 == spyware comments make some want to stick with XP longer too.
It's also very popular in India and China thanks to encryption export laws forcing banks and e-commerce websites to use ActiveX controls tied to IE 6 to 8. Also simple economics too in these countries makes them stick to XP. Not everyone is a software engineer in America making $100K a year and many blue collar baby boomers are retired too and have little cash in the western world too.
It's frustrating. I am in the upgrade camp. Perhaps Mozilla could recommend and link a Linux distro for those wanting to still run Firefox on their hardware
Dude it's about 17 years old which is a long long ancient time on a technology scale. It's time to move on. Do you get free car service too for 17 year old cars?
What is reasonable? Most users are just waiting for their caps in their power supplies or motherboard to blow and they will be replaced. Some are old people afraid of change who go out of their way to use ancient software on new hardware. That is on them.
Mozilla should display a friendly message claiming their PC will no longer be supported and it's time to upgrade
Its called the CPU. It had I/O offloading for awhile now this decade in hardware with zero latency to process compared to something dangling off the PCI bus.
It is not fake raid as the CPU since 2009 does I/O. With hardly any latency at all compared to going through a bus and being limited by it's speed and slow latency for the overhead.
CPU I/O raid is superior in almost everyway with the exception of battery backup in case of a power failure. It isn't 2003 anymore
Yeah, you're right. Maybe Windows should be in smartphones. *snicker*
Laugh all you want but Windows8 is far superior to Android in terms of speed, reliability, and support. I hated going back to Android.
My Windows Phone with 1 gig of ram was faster than my $700 Nexus6P with 4 gigs of RAM. I bought my mother a $60 Nokia 640 and it lasts for days with battery life and is snappy with 1 gig of ram.
This is not possible on an Android device for those specs
I still use a haswel i7 at home and needed to replace a damaged board. All the popular MSI, Gigabyte, and Asus boards with 97 stopped being updated with new EFI.
I googled for Windows 10 compability and use the latest 2015 UEFI flashes.
Do Macs need them updated or tied to specific releases of MacOSX?
The real one in a fortune 1000 company. We have 2 sunfire Solaris, one Linux we hardly ever use and 60 Windows servers in our MDF for everything else. This is normal outside of Silicon Valley.
I have done IT work in 5 different organizations over decades and never seen a mainframe before. I hear about them but they seem dead outside niche uses. In every organization Windows run everywhere in the MDF with the exception of XServer and Novell Netware early last decade.
It seemed to improve WIndows quality tremendously though over the past 20 years. Windows 7/10 is not WIndows 98/ME by a longshot in terms of BSOD, security, or crashes.
Linux kind of oddly is degrading with SystemD, gnome3, pulse audio, wayland, and so many dependencies that not everyone knows what they are trying to make Linux be the end all be all.
For servers the idea of running FreeBSD is becoming quite popular for this reason.
It certainly is not GNU. Disclaimer I hate Android with a passion but own an Android phone because of it's near monopoly so I am biased. Android uses Java which says right there the problems it has. It is very closed source in ASOP and many components. Sure it has a kernel but big deal it's not linux.
My Linux Vm's never crash, slow down, or needed to be rebooted a few times a week in order to get Google Voice to work and have apps respond..... infact that kind of sounds familiar. Familiar as in the symptoms above in another well known operating system from 20 years ago that slashdotters used to use. The kernel is rock solid though I gave it that. But Android reminds me of Windows 98SE in terms of stability and would jump ship if another OS could take over that was credible and not 0wned by Apple.
Not in hiring Indians per say, but still charing 10's of millions of dollars and getting someone whose only experience is working help desk instead of an enterprise architect with 15 years experience for projects.
So a normal project that would cost $250,000 IBM wants to charge $10,000,000 but doesn't even include architects or maybe one senior level guy and the rest help desk gurus still studying for the MCSE implementing it.
Gee customers are going elsewhere. I can't imagine why? There is nothing wrong with going to cheap to India to save $$$$. What is wrong is charging a premium for it. If I want to pay $10,000,000 instead of $250,000 then dammit I want 15 year experienced architects with a world wide portfolio working at Google, Akamia, and other top end institutions for that price for my project. If not then I am going to go $250,000 and going INFOsys if I do not care about quality
Honestly, Putin probably would have preferred Clinton in office. (No, hold on, let me finish.)
No. But you can pay out just enough rope to hang your ridiculous idea.
Because if that had been the only election day difference, the GOP would still have control of both the House and the Senate. Clinton would be unable to get anything done, and come on, the calls for her impeachment would have started the day after the election.
Putin doesn't want nothing to get done. He wants nothing good for America to get done. Trump has failed at lots of things, but he also has got lots of other things done — all of them bad for us, and most of them consequently good for Russia.
Clinton was the status quo candidate, and even the status quo was better for us than this shit.
But the emails! What about the emails!
Sigh... yep it proves people are gullible and stupid and open to psychological manipulation and will even avoid truth!
You must have missed the memo reporting that a lot of these ads were plugging Black Lives Matter, Hillary's widespread support, and similar topics. If those messages helped get Donald Trump elected, why are all the Democrats colluding with Russia?
So far we have evidence that the Russians unanimously supported Trump. Putin even said American relations would be better under Trump. However, they support both sides in non presidential races to create distrust and anger and deadlock.
I have seen a quote from a well known former Soviet espianage agent at the KGB. There plan to end America long term was to slowly erode patriotism and trust in the local government or governments in the west over several decades. When people get fud up they are more likely to vote for extremist candidates and be apatehtic to a takeover. After a series of weak governments econimic and socio political chaos ensures as the government will be too weak to lead and resolve further eroding the populations trust. What ends up is you have candidates very far left and right. Then they support the one at the far left and BAM you got communist USA.
This happened in Wiemar Germany which gave rise to Hitler as well as pre-Soviet Russia during the last days of the Tsars with crippling infighting and reforms. Lennin then used this to start the red communist revolution.
So Russia is trying to turn western governments and especially the USA into a Weimar Germany or Pre-Soviet Russia so it can do less damage internationally and eventually be ripe with a far left candidate who can change it to something different than it is today.
That is HUGE. All it takes is one viral negative ad that sticks and is shared to get a large section of the population not to vote.
Kerry may have been president if he never said "...I voted for this after I voted agaisn't it..". This turned into an ad with a waffle and was repeated over and over again by Bush and Cheney and he went down 10% in the polls. Enough to seal the deal for Bush to win re-election.

Its called the CPU. It had I/O offloading for awhile now this decade in hardware with zero latency to process compared to something dangling off the PCI bus.
You're wrong and 10 years out of date.
It is not fake raid as the CPU since 2009 does I/O. With hardly any latency at all compared to going through a bus and being limited by it's speed and slow latency for the overhead.
CPU I/O raid is superior in almost everyway with the exception of battery backup in case of a power failure. It isn't 2003 anymore
No, it really should only apply to Emacs.
Yeah too bad it comes with a shitty text editor though
There are serious concerns with NSA writting SELinuxwhile Microsoft has been fighting them and requiring court orders
So does Ubuntu and Chrome.
Perhaps it's due to Cannoical dropping support for 32 bit in the next version of Ubuntu
Yeah, you're right. Maybe Windows should be in smartphones. *snicker*

It's time to upgrade again and throw out your glued in batteries and ssds for a new system

Majority of the worlds servers run Windows. PHBs looove Microsoft because they feel it's an integrated platform with what they run on the desktops.
Windows too I may add. Though Windows 10 is certainly an improvement over WIndows 8, it still is no Windows 7 when it comes to the GUI.
Stupid Android auto correct ... I'ts on Windows 10 toda! You said you wanted it on the desktop right?
THe problem is pure greed.

Good as I am sure now we are going to see cheaper rates now from IBM .... BAHAHA who am I kidding
It's on Windows 10 toda! What? You said you Windows on the desktop right??

Negative ads and news really do work well.
