I couldn't care less about the few extra pennies it costs me. Especially when my Roku in the bedroom constantly sputters and lags while the PS3 in the living room streams flawlessly for hours on end. And I can turn the PS3 off. My Roku doesn't have an off switch.
The ultimate outcome will depend on how quickly existing OEM's can adapt. BlackBerry is actually well positioned to take advantage of its majority position in the infotainment arena and just announced a partnership with Delphi to develop autonomous tech for the masses.
Might I suggest Waterfox? It's based on the current Firefox code but strips out the tracking and puts NPAPI plugins back. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. No mobile version yet.
When this plant was proposed in 2006 nuclear was the most cost effective energy out there. Fracking drove the cost of natural gas into the basement and has remained there ever since. So nuclear is no longer the best bag for your buck in the energy industry and it comes with the NIMBY stigma associated with radiation. Duke probably ran the numbers and decided it was cheaper to take the hit and pay a fine rather than complete the project and be straddled with it for years to come.
Not sure if you were aware but BlackBerry doesn't do handsets anymore. The KEYone is made by TCL for BlackBerry Mobile. A new company TCL created when they licensed the BlackBerry brand. Now I hear they are resurrecting the Palm brand as well.
I was introduced to the ketogenic diet in March. I was intrigued and thought WTH. If it can help me lose weight then great! What I experienced was SOO much more. I've suffered from adult depression for over 30 years and taken different medications over the years. None of which even remotely helped. A week in ketosis and I threw away my current meds and never looked back. Three months in and I'd lost over 30lbs. as well.
If you look back at the start of the low fat movement you will find money. Always follow the money. At the time people were starting to use coconut oil more and soybean farmers got scared. Grease the right palm and viola...saturated fats are the cause of heart disease. This has since been completely debunked scientifically. But experts in the field have been beating the drum for so long they are having a hard time accepting that they have been wrong so their cognitive dissonance kicks in and they dig their heels in when presented with evidence.
look at how VB was used and abused by self defined "programmers" who were accountants, MBA, engineering managers, and even some VP's
YEARS ago an engineer I worked with spent two years working on an elaborate script in Excel. It was his masterpiece and then we upgraded to Office 95 which ditched the excel macro engine for VBA. He was crushed.
You could compile from source as soon as there was a 64 bit compiler and libraries available. But pre-compiled binaries weren't readily available from Mozilla like they are now. However I was referring to the Windows versions as Waterfox didn't compile Linux binaries until much later. I'm using Waterfox 55.0.1 on Mint 18.1 currently.
Jumped to Waterfox several years ago. At the time it was the only 64 bit version of FF code but it has matured and while it still follows FF core it didn't disable plug-ins and it strips out tracking.
Just eat healthy (Oh, yes I know, most people don't know what that means)
You don't know how right you actually are. Even doctors and nutritionists have been conned into believing lies about healthy eating. Just look at the newest research that completely blows the notion salt/fat cause heart disease. In fact fat may just be healthier than carbohydrates.
To date there is ZERO proof climate change is affected by humans. And yet the scientific community which keeps reminding us that "correlation does not imply causation" keep saying the "evidence" is overwhelming (again there is none). Is the climate rising? There is evidence to support that claim but it is hardly overwhelming and there is also research that seems to contradict (no I'm not talking about THAT "research") these findings. So without any factual research to tie humans to the research supporters of the theory turn to name calling anyone who calls them on their BS "climate-deniers". While there are a select few who simply deny climate is changing the vast majority do not. We simply refute the CONCLUSION that it is caused by human action. And rightly so. Show me some proof and I'll listen. When there is money to be made and politicians involved take everything you hear with a ton of sodium. Take a look at how much money Al Gore made buying and selling carbon credits which weren't even a thing in the US until his inconvenient lie prompted congress and the EPA to create them.
And here is why the problem gets so muddied.
First, a CDN is not a "fast lane" It is a copy once, share many server which alleviates the pressure on the ISP's peer with the backbone. In other words it saves the ISP money. Back when there was actual competition of ISP's they all welcomed CDN's as a means to serve their customers better and save money. Now that all competition has been eradicated the remaining IPS's charge content providers for the "privilege" of adding a CDN. Why? Because ISP's now own content companies that compete with the likes of Netflix. For years Netflix begged AT&T to let them put a CDN on their network for free but AT&T refused until Netflix agreed to pay for a "fast lane" The day they signed the contract Netflix throttling on AT&T disappeared despite the fact the CDN wasn't even in place yet.

Just because we haven't been able to measure anything smaller doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It just means it's beyond our ability to measure.

It's true! My PS3 makes a great Netflix streaming device.

Chrome on iOS is just a wrapper on top of webkit. Apple still doesn't allow native rendering engines so Google can't use Blink on iOS.

All I can say is...Hypocrites!
Food Town is open in NW. So is Dairy Queen on Antoine.
I'll get my raft and float over to our local Houston Whole Foods this morning to stock up.

That was true until the release of 55. You should be able to run both simultaneously now. I just tested on Windows and Linux and it works on both.

What would Godwin say about a post actually BEING about Nazis? Oh, nevermind...this is what he would say.

So Nissan gets their engines from Mazda and Cummins and now they'll get their batteries from someone else as well.

And I would have gotten away with it too. If it hadn't been for those meddling Sans Sherif fonts.
