    Vivaldi is still Chrome.

  2. Re:Chromium's memory issues... on Former Mozilla CTO: 'Chrome Won' (andreasgal.com) · · Score: 1

    I used Chromium for a while on my (Lubuntu) laptop, only to notice that it had what appeared to be memory leaks in it -- gradually escalating RAM usage until it blew up the entire system, if I didn't kill the process once in a while and restart it.

    Now I'm using Opera which doesn't do this, but seems just as fast.

    Those aren't memory leaks. That's memory use. Memory is there to be used. If you have 16 gigs of RAM and freak out any time your system goes over 2 gigs then you're doing it wrong.

    People bitching that their web browser, one of the heaviest parts of your systems that you probably use as much or more than anything else, uses a couple gigs of cheap as fuck memory really is ridiculous.

    "1. Because it's a whole lot cheaper than paying for a hospital delivery, and then for health care for a kid."

    Why should it pay for delivery? The mother does all the fucking work. If there are complications then those should be covered but delivery can be done at home, or in a car, or fucking anywhere.

    Sorry but birth control is dirt fucking cheap. Pay for it yourself. It'll cost less than your fucking latte and you'll be less of a drain on civilized society. Stop being a leach.

    The failure is in letting a bunch of whiny little bitches work for them in the first place.

  7. There is zero reason to keep money in a savings account right now. Its much better to put money to work in mutual funds or contribute to my 401k than putting anything at all in my savings. In fact my savings account is just an annoyance, i'd rather just leave it in checking for when I need it.

    Why? Because I don't earn anything on my savings account. The bank does but I don't get shit for it.

    They've been actively destoying themselves for years. With the increasingly liberal bent on everything they produce to the selling of most of their studios to China, they are pretty much dead. Most movies aren't even shot in Hollywood anymore but Canada and Australia.

    It's too bad too, Hollywood was one of Americas success stories. Now it's just a sad lesson in what not to do.

    What leads a person to grow up to be so morally compromised as to think this kind of behaviour is acceptable?

    Have you seen the people that run big business and government around the world today? This is child play compared to the shit that not only happens but is greatly rewarded. Ethics are gone in the world today.

    Wrong, they are crimes, hence the word "illegal" before immigrant. Granted they are misdemeanors but they sure as fuck aren't civil matters.

    llegal immigrants are just regular people, so you may know some of them without realizing.

    NO, illegal immigrants are people who have NO LEGAL RIGHT to be in the country.

    Yes, but I believe most people think "bad hombres", not "my neighbors".
    Case in point woman who voted for Trump thinking only illegal immigrants with criminal records will be deported.

    Maybe you think everyone should go, but many people assume a more nuanced definition will apply.

    If they came here illegally then they by definition have a criminal record. This isn't fucking rocket surgery

    Try comparing your average "socialist" European country with the US and take a look at various social aspects. I'm not even talking about soft mushy things like "quality of life", just look at the expense for things like social security, internal security (i.e. police), along with factors like crime statistics, suicide rates and educational standard.

    Give those Euro countries our criminal black and mexican population and see how they fair. If we did that crime in this country would be reduced by 80%, welfare would be virtually non-existent and we wouldn't have to spend trillions in unfunded liabilities. I'm sorry if that isn't PC enough for people but its the truth.
