  1. Because hipsters are being super extra-loud at the moment and the government is close to passing laws requiring workforce diversity in big companies?

    And seeing the typo you made in your title, I'd say there's enough Mexicans, too.

    Hey man, if you can be racist, so can I. ;-)

    Stop it with this stupid "diversity" crap already. Not everyone is predisposed to like doing the same thing. It varies by race, sex, beliefs, interests, etc. Asking or even forcing the tech industry to have the same numbers of white/black/asian/etc and 50/50 male/female employes is just incredibly dumb and short-sighted.

    Why are women under-represented in construction yards? Why is there a lack of men in nurses and flight attendants jobs? You will find discrepancies like that in all domains. Some are due to male chauvinism but for the most part I think women, in general, are more interested in particular types of jobs and the same goes for men. It's not about inequalities, it's just life. Get over it.

    Complaining about diversity is like women complaining that guys prefer blondes or men complaining that women don't like their fat ass. Everyone is different, the population of the planet doesn't come from a dozen pre-made moulds to help you sort them all in neat little boxes afterward.

    Not with the kind of lag seen in those videos. They'd fall down at the first step. We'll have to reach the Robot Jox stage and then the Pacific Rim stage before we can even begin to think of something as agile as a Gundam.

    My "You're are" typo aside, I was only addressing the "number of dispensers on a pump" dispute between the two of them. How it works internally, I have no idea.

    To answer both of you, I'm guessing things differ in your part of the world and you're simply not aware that things can be different. You're are both right.

    On Windows, your choices are:

    • Firefox, the bloated browser with memory leaks who forgot the whole point of its creation
    • Chrome, the fast browser with built-in spyware from the Do-no-evil-but-let's-datamine-the-shit-out-of-our-users-anyway company
    • Edge, the browser made by the company with possibly the worst security history on the planet
    • Opera, the company that dropped its own engine and is now just basically a Chrome clone

    Why does a Web browser have a built-in PDF viewer in the first place?

    A PDF file is an external document not meant to be viewed inside a browser. Or is Firefox also planning to add a Microsoft Word viewer, an Apple Keynote viewer, etc?
