For this reason, I have reverted to Firefox stable, and once Firefox 57 becomes stable, I plan to revert to Firefox ESR until bug 1325692 becomes fixed.
The problem is that once all major browsers support EME, website operators will feel more justified in requiring EME on grounds that users can choose to just switch on DRM as part of the economic bargain associated with visiting the site. The one thing that had been keeping website operators honest is the existence of at least one widely used browser that doesn't support EME at all.
The new set of browser extension APIs that make up WebExtensions, which are available in Firefox today, are inherently more secure than traditional add-ons
From the point of view of an end user, the transition just takes one problem (security) and replaces it with another (data loss). Ctrl+Q in Firefox 57 for Linux quits the whole browser without asking for confirmation, causing loss of data in unsubmitted forms. XUL extensions used to be able to prevent this, but WebExtensions cannot because bug 1325692 was marked as "wontfix" for Firefox 57.
And what happens when you can no longer afford new IP addresses
2^64 addresses ought to be enough for anyone. Make the origin server IPv6-only, and rely on your CDN to proxy the/64,/60, or/56 that your provider offers to the IPv4-net.
What might these "tells" be, so that a responsible server operator can avoid them in, say, legitimate notifications that a customer's order was accepted or shipped or that a product on a customer's wishlist has come back in stock?
How does cloudflare help if I know the actual IP address(es) of their customer's server(s)?
A CDN helps your site remain up while your origin server rolls over to a new IP address by caching logged-out viewers' view of popular documents. It also lets you use IPv6 on the origin server, which makes it easier to fast-flux its IP address while still serving to user agents behind legacy IPv4-only networks.
anything dynamic that you do, which is almost all of your web site.
Unless the vast majority of the dynamic stuff runs client-side. This can be true if your site is a client-side single-page application, with restricted or no functionality on no-script browsers. Then most data that the site's client-side script handles can have a far-future Expires date.
Can someone update Stallman to the fact that macOS and iOS are free?
First let me verify this: Where can the owner of a Mac or an iPhone get the source code of current macOS in order to adapt it to a Mac that Apple no longer supports, or the source code of current iOS in order to adapt it to an iPhone that Apple no longer supports?
In what way? I thought DKIM just required the operator of an MSA or other MTA to publish a public key as a TXT record of the form brisbane._domainkey.example.net. What in DKIM requires any CA, approved by Microsoft or not, to issue a certificate that cross-signs this public key?
Where on the USPTO's fee schedule (https://www.uspto.gov/learning-and-resources/fees-and-payment/uspto-fee-schedule) do you see a fee for issuing a patent?
Under "Patent Post-Allowance Fees" are several line items containing the term "issue fee". In addition, "fees to maintain an issued patent" apply only to issued patents, not to applications that do not result in issuing a patent.

As for "profit", are you talking about a paywall? Because people use tracking blockers nowadays to keep ad networks from stalking them with "retargeting", and unless you sell your own site's ad space directly to advertisers, you won't see a dime from them. Or what am I missing?
No, but the mice they're made in are. Humira (adalimumab) and other monoclonal antibodies are produced inside mice with human immunoglobulin genes, which are genetically modified organisms.
For a highly dynamic interface (e.g. a single page web app with more in common with a desktop app), it simply makes more sense to invert the flow of logic.
A vocal minority claim that developers of Internet applications ought to be releasing a desktop application for each major operating system, with public API specifications to allow third parties to develop clients for minor operating systems, instead of a single-page web application.
It's like when the news reports the Dow or S&P 500 were up 0.3 percent for the day. 0.3 percent of what figure? From 100? 1000? 10,000?
0.3 percent of the price at the previous trading day's close.
Giving that statistic is meaningless without a reference.
The reference is how invested you are in the market. A portfolio containing one unit of the basket for any particular index will be worth 0.3 percent more than it was worth yesterday. (The DJIA basket is currently 6.89 shares of each of 30 companies; S&P's is 112 trillionths of 500 companies' market cap.) Or if you had a $20,000 in an exchange traded fund (ETF) that tracks that index, such as DIA or SPY, it'll be worth $20,060.*
* Minus expenses, which tend to run lower for an ETF than for an actively managed mutual fund.
I see it as little different from the copyleft model used by the GNU project on which Fedora and RHEL are built: distribute your program as free software, and assert your copyright against those who refuse to pass on equivalent rights to the users.
The AC3 decoder in FFmpeg is GPL, I guess this falls in the 1%, because I know Dolby would sue are ass
How so? I thought Dolby Digital was used in DVD since 1997 and in cinema since 1992, putting it over the 20-year limit on patents. Which subsisting patents cover the standardized form of Dolby Digital?
Slashdot Mirror
I think those who like security updates but hate change use Firefox ESR.
When I tried Firefox 57 for Linux, an accidental press of Ctrl+Q suddenly closed all tabs in all windows without confirmation, causing loss of data in unsubmitted forms. Extensions to stop this behavior will not arrive by Firefox 57.

Does "better" mean "less objectionable to left-wing social justice warriors" or "less objectionable to right-wing paleoconservatives"?

Then the problem becomes how a new sender with valid DKIM and SPF becomes verified.

In practice, that'll only happen once Cygwin/X is ported to WSL. (Xming was ten years out of date last I checked: 2007-11-02.)
DKIM requires signed keys from Microsoft.

I thought using the 7 standard pieces in a Tetris clone was ruled in 2012 to be a copyright infringement.

Because 50 Hz SD video ought to be captured at 576i, not 480i like you said. Capturing 50 Hz SD video at 480i would result in loss of resolution.
Let me guess SuperDre's next excuse for copyright without compulsory license:
An unauthorized view of a publisher's out-of-print work causes the potential loss of a sale of the same publisher's in-print work.
