In the ideal world - sure. But FF has bugs, thousands of them as well as our products. The goal of QA is to find the version of the Browser that works best. I'll check our docs to see if Chrome is supported.
I know, I'm also well aware that they do not care about the enterprise. It's not just our weird policy, I was just pointing out that their rapid/rolling release is incompatible with how majority of software is produced.
If they do not care about our corporate workstations - fine, but when companies start dropping FF from their supported browsers list (since noone is going to setup a special QA lab to continuously test it) this is going affect the home market too, something I think they do care about.
Or at least create a long term support build that will be getting bug fixes over a few years, we do not support debian unstable and will not support a rolling release browser. We need to put a supported version in release notes, version as in something you can see in the "about.." box.
You are on a rapid release - we are NOT. Which means we are dropping FF support both internally and from supported browsers for our products. You made traditional QA impossible and support too expensive.
Are you sure? I distinctly remember plugging voodoo 1 into my matrox card with a pass-through cable to play Lara Croft, but I thought they move on from this scheme in subsequent models.
I got an alienware gaming laptop, the build quality is very good, the whole things feels really solid. One thing to note - be aware that the advertized Razer machine uses Optimus tech which means you would not be able to use Nvidia GPU in Linux at all. I specifically got a version of aliwenware mx11 that uses pre-Optimus GPU switching.
1) it's crazy to even suggest that China will start a major war with Russia. The potential for nuclear escalation is just to great
2) The Chinese-taking-over scare is not really based on anything, while there is a sizable Chinese presence in near border areas in general Chinese migrate from the country side to well-off coastal cities and other major population centers. Living in Siberia or anywhere in Russia is not very high on their priority list
3) China is swimming in cash, they'd much rather continue their strategy of investing in resources all over the world then risk a nuclear war.
Here in Russia we have millions of sq. kilometers of land locked by permafrost. Structures are built on special platforms, resource extraction is difficult and much of the North has to by supplied by ice-breakers.
I see much benefit to my country.
Americans like to talk about how they cherish democracy but my experience over the years has shown it to be hypocrisy mostly. During my travels I have seen Americans adjusting perfectly well in countries that are plain authoritarian (China) or of questionable democratic standard (like Malaysia and S./Latin America). As long as they had a well paying job and access to latest toys and entertainment they did not care about voting and human rights.
The real 3rd world grade poverty that is engulfing America is still hidden (but not for long) from what remains of the middle class.
This person from the excellent "Voices of the unemployed" used to have a job and a future, now he is faced with starvation br>
"My family is eating stir-fried dandelions out of yards to keep from starving."
Some are lucky enough to find a palace an one of the numerous tent cities that have sprouted around major population centers.
When your time comes to lose your job, car and house will you still blame the poor for resorting to crime in order to feed themselves?
America is a strange country. On one hand it used to have a really developed science and technology, but on the other hand a large segment of the population always shared a deeply anti-intellectual bias. These people have deep mistrust for abstraction and allegories. Only in such poisonous atmosphere of anti-intellectual backlash literalist interpretation of the Bible could develop, these literal interpretations gave then something concrete and immutable to hold on to.
You're right, people from all over sub Saharan Africa and even neighboring North African countries came to Libya looking for work. I studied many various sources and not just corrupt Western media that is 100% behind rebel scum. Now you have my support Gaddafi, people of Libya support you and I believe you will come out of this victorious.
Yes and no. Essentially you are right, but it only works well when industry decline and replacement by new tech takes many years, decades. People get a chance to adapt, to learn new skills. It's like AGW, climate change is normal, but becomes dangerous when it's starts happening too fast, leaves us not time to adapt and evolve. I've seen entire industries disappear in a year or less. But at the same time we are essentially the same as when we first got out of Africa, it still takes 10 years to become an expert in a new field and you do not even know if it will be there in 10 years.
Wtf is "subconscious biases"? Admit it's something you made up yourself and in any case has no scientific meaning. Along with the questionable statement that you need to somehow "combat" it and even alluding to "formal training" in the black art of overcoming said bias.
This makes you think. When the West supports protestors in Libya, Syria, Egypt, how can be one be sure that most of these people are not opportunists
just waiting for breakdown of law and order to go on raping and pillaging rampage?
UK and US are harboring several people wanted and inn some case convicted by Russian courts. Would it be OK for us to raid London and kill/kidnap Berezovsky?
Nevertheless Firefox made it into enterprise and now we have to abandon it for something else. We have it deployed on hundreds of workstations mainly to interact with our heavily customized version of RT. We are using 3.6 because 4 breaks out webapp in subtle ways. Continuing to use a rapid-release browser with no clear builds and milestones and no rear testing? No way.
In Russia superstitious people believe that if things are going too well something bad is about to happen. And it did. Out of the blue several successful high-profile free software projects have stepped onto the path of self-destruction. Ubuntu, Gnome and now Firefox.
I used to love Firefox and was so happy when it started gaining on IE, every percent was like a small victory. Now developers are destroying this hard-earned users and businesses by their own hand. It's sad.

I'd loved to seek the look on his ex-wife's face when she found out her hubby was into animals. Some funny shit here.

I must be really behind times, but would not informational in RAM disappear without refresh?
I agree, entering Emacs combos with one hand is a bitch, he should switch to vi.

I find your advice puzzling, in my experience drinking vodka greatly increases procreation desires.

I remember discovering The Wheel, but coffee and fire was not available for researching.

I'm reserving judgement until Netcraft confirms it.
