  1. Re:What else? on Slashdot Asks: Have You Switched To Firefox 57? · · Score: 1

    Besides the lack of many useful extensions, as already cited, there is the absolute lack of flexibility in configuration.

    They got rid of the "extension bar" where I kept all extension buttons at the bottom of the screen. Now they just throw all those buttons along the address and search bar, squeezing everything. Not happy with this they inserted some undesirable icons (like save to pocket and other trash) that we are not able to get rid of. It looks like the developers all uses 4K display, despising completely the comfort of notebook users.

    I do notice an increase of speed, but the uncomfortable feel increased orders of magnitude more.

    It makes me desire to give a try to other browsers, perhaps there is some that I can make comfortable to use.

    Excess carbon dioxide, on the other hand, can remain in the atmosphere for hundreds of years. That's why burning fossil fuels has the effect of increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, leading to warming.

    And it produces beautiful trees, wich seems to be a nice way to get it out of atmosphere.

  3. Re:What could on Bill Gates Funds Seawater-Spraying Cloud Machines · · Score: 1

    You can make Global Warming worse by adding water vapor to the air, but if enough sunlight gets reflected back out through cloud formation, it's a good deal. The cost of putting enough water into the air though.... is a different matter. Not sure if that's a cost-effective way of going about it.

    AFAIK, no machine is 100% efficient, that is all of them dissipates heat. Using them to make clouds that will reflect heat back seems be a nice trap for the so produced heat.

    By the other side, all those salt coming down with rain and crystallizing on the floor will increase the albedo making earth colder.... Ok, it will be sterile too, but much colder. =)

    I believe the phrase is "What could possibly go wrong..."

    Pehaps "what clouds possibly go wrong..."

  5. Have you seem SHSQL ? on F/OSS Flat-File Database? · · Score: 1


    Does SHSQL fit your needs ?

  6. Re:because... on Software Transferability? (or the lack of it) · · Score: 1

    Hmmm.... I don't know...

    It seems to me that software is more close to prostitution than is exposed in your text. In postitution business you don't buy the prostitute, you buy the right to use it. In software business you don't buy the software, you buy the right to use it.

    Now the question is :

    If I buy the right to use a prostitute, may I transfer this right to others ?

    I guess the same doubt applies to software too.
