I don't mind title and status bars on Linux dekstops being smaller than their less capable counterparts (Windows, MacOS, OS/2), because we have sane key modifiers - alt-drag to move a window and alt-right-drag to resize it. No need to hunt for widgets, just put your pointer anywhere in the target window.
I barely use the title bar for moving windows any more, but I do use it for rolling them up (mouse wheel over the titlebar), pinning, minimizing, maximizing, closing, and most importantly to provide a visual cue for what each window is and which one has focus.
Yes, and there will be a good chance that those people imagine AutoPilot as some Sci-Fi level AI that can safely drive you to your destination while you kick back with a good book. That does not exist.
At the risk of sounding like an MBA bot: Interesting take on the brand identity though - could be scope for a marketing survey there.
I'm finding I have to re-start my browser due to memory exhaustion once a day since upgrading to FF57. Prior to that it was once a week, with the same content open.
Unfortunately "Minimize Memory Usage" in the about:memory dialog does not help in this case.
But I do agree it is much faster (and not just at eating memory!)
This is a fairly common flow of events, and often goes a little like this:
CEO doesn't like wage bill on balance sheet. CEO looks at workers and can't figure out what they all do. CEO decides to downsize. CEO hires a consulting company to conduct interviews and tell CEO what s/he wants to hear. Consulting company recommends firing workers, and CEO acts. Time passes. CEO doesn't like sales figures on balance sheet. CEO discovers they actually need workers to get stuff done. CEO hires back workers as consultants on contract basis at 3x their prior wage. Everybody smiles.
All good questions that Elon Musk should be asking himself about now.
Given that he has carefully constructed a very successful brand that is practically synonymous with "Electric Car" for many people despite other popular models existing, why is he adding these useless and potentially harmful anti-features that can only damage this brand's reputation?
I realize there's a strong pro-self-driving-vehicle lobby here on/. but they conveniently ignore the need for and complete lack of software that, despite what marketing droids will tell you, is anywhere near ready for actual road driving.
Don't get me wrong, I like working at a company that tries hard to recruit women, because the gender balance is healthier, but it isn't doing the industry as a whole any favors, and might even be making things worse, because the pool of applicants is largely a zero-sum game. When one company succeeds, it does so to the detriment of all the other companies.
No, it's to the detriment of your company since your competitors will still hire based on actual merit so will have more capable staff.
Luke had X hours of training from Obi-Wan en route to Alderaan, and the benefit of a disembodied voice instructing him when the time came for the vital shot.
Rey managed a mind trick and a force pull with apparently no training whatsoever.
Not that any of this is necessarily bad, it just needs a damn good explanation.
Clearly you see a problem, but what is an ideal situation for you, and how does it change things from how they are now for a typical consumer?
The fact that with more money than God it will now be even easier for them to buy more laws that serve their ends (see theft of the Public Domain for one prime example).
Look on the bright side. After missing it for three movies we'll finally get the 20th Century Fox fanfare back at the start of the film where it belongs.
When Donald Trump pulled the US out of negotiations for the despicable TPPA for example, protesters around the world who were vehemently opposed to the deal suddenly fell silent and eventually came back saying perhaps the deal wasn't so bad after all.
The added friction could be a benefit in that it segregates the "drone" market into that which requires a registration and the toys; perhaps the chuckleheads the lack the necessary judgement not to cause an incident with their drone will be inclined to stick with the toy sized stuff.
Could do - this law only applies to drones between 0.55 and 55 pounds (250 g and 25 kg), so well covers the "enthusiast" hobby market.

Firefox already tried this on Windows and it looks horrible.
Those of you who use Firefox on Windows, how many of you don't switch off browser.tabs.drawinTitlebar immediately on every fresh install?
With statements like this, does this clown really wonder why no one takes GNOME seriously anymore?
Correct. Though they still run Linux just fine.
Pity you can't pair an Apple Watch with any non-Apple phone.
Except, unlike Palestine, Israel actually exists (despite the best efforts of its neighbours and propaganda machines).

Smaller... memory footprint?

Mostly on account of their quota being stupid.

Wait, what non-Apple phone produced within the past fifteen years doesn't come with an FM radio?
Of course many need a headphone plugged in to act as an antenna but a few, such as the Alcatel Pop, don't.
Job security.
It won't be a bullet-point feature. It will be integrated into some other must-have bullet-point feature.
Does your car have HomeSync®, Apple® FunTime® or WontCrashForSure®? Then it serves ads.
No they don't. The pre-LTE ones, perhaps, but this is 2017.

Very much so.
When Donald Trump pulled the US out of negotiations for the despicable TPPA for example, protesters around the world who were vehemently opposed to the deal suddenly fell silent and eventually came back saying perhaps the deal wasn't so bad after all.
Not even slightly.
But under this law they will be *treated* much the same, ie as motorised vehicles that can be harmful if used incorrectly.
I suspect this is part of the thought process that lead to this. Particularly the need for a unique identifier (a "plate") to be on show at all times.
The added friction could be a benefit in that it segregates the "drone" market into that which requires a registration and the toys; perhaps the chuckleheads the lack the necessary judgement not to cause an incident with their drone will be inclined to stick with the toy sized stuff.

Probably the same as when they bring their cars - can't drive them without local plates.
Can someone decipher this?
Is AC saying that Cerf was opposed to home servers, a position that no sane person with any technological inclination would take?
