And some of them add more bullshit on the packaging saying that if you open it you agree to the bullshit legal mumbo-jumbo user agreement sealed inside the packaging that you can't read before opening it.
When courts in some countries struck down those sorts of hidden agreements, publishers started to print on the box the URL of the agreement that applies to a work, which URL remains valid as long as the work remains in print. This way, the prospective licensee has reasonable access to view the terms before purchase.
So, if you think the prices for a product are too expensive, that gives you the license to just take it without paying?
What about piracy because the media companies are too bone-headed to sell their media in my country?
You could start a media distribution company in your country and buy the license for your country. I admit that's impractical for most, but it's technically a subset of "if you think the prices for a product are too expensive".
Will the features being worked on for Tree Style Tab, in particular bug 1332447 about hiding the top tabs, be in place as of the date Firefox 57 becomes available for auto-update in the stable channel? Or will users of Firefox with Tree Style Tab have the blatant lack of polish that is two sets of tabs for a month and a half until Firefox 58?
I can kind of sympathize with the removal of the status bar and menu bar, but only for people stuck on rubbish 1280x720 and 1366x768 screens
Or for people on laptops with 1920x1080 screens that have such a high pixel density (DPI) that the fonts need to be cranked up to the point where there's no more usable space than on a 1366x768 screen.
Part of the reason of switching to webextensions is to get a massive performance boost while at the same time limiting the damage that plugins cause such as lockups and memory leaks.
At the cost of losing my data. Sometimes when reaching for Ctrl+W or Ctrl+Tab, I accidentally press the adjacent Ctrl+Q. This activates the Quit or Exit command, which closes all tabs in Firefox for Linux. When I reopen the browser and click Restore Previous Session, the tabs come back, but data entered into unsubmitted forms is lost. I haven't tried it for every site in existence, but it never restores a comment form in a Slashdot D2 page correctly.
Then mount the image in your VM as a virtual USB Mass Storage device. Or write it to a physical flash drive and enable USB passthrough in your VM. Both.iso and.e4fs are disk images; they just use a different file system.
Ideally, one would be able to install an Android container to run Android apps on a desktop Linux operating system. Only app publishers' dependence on Google Play Store and Google Play Services keeps this from being a reality.
If a site offers a stark white page, visit it's competitor that offers something other than a stark white page, such as a static (HTML+CSS only) document or a native application for Windows or Wine.
With firewalls in so many places blocking everything but 443 and 80 out, and with device makers blocking native apps from their walled gardens based on ambiguous content criteria, www is the Internet as end users experience it.
Rosewill/Newegg or Intel or Kingston or Supermicro [,,,] that's the most maintainable, longest-lasting, best-value computer that you can get. No Dell or Apple customer will ever have it so good, so easy, so dependable, so long-lasting, or so reliable.
If phones were like that, everyone would be happy instead of sad.
I searched the brand names you provided, and most of them appear to be servers and desktops. True, servers and desktops can be like that. But in order for phones to have a chance of being like that, laptops first have to be like that.
At this moment there is no way your web app be able to call native libs in client.
True, but if I tried, I could probably think of a few applications that require some WebWhatever functionality that exists in the HTML living standard but has no counterpart in the Java SE standard library.
FamiTracker version 0.4.6 from famitracker.com works correctly under Wine. A fork called 0CC-FamiTracker 0.3.14.5 from hertzdevil.com does not, instead working only under Windows.
I estimate that on over 95 percent of new, fully assembled desktop and laptop PCs sold in retail stores in Google's home country, EFI is bundled with one of two operating systems: macOS on Apple PCs or Windows on other brands.
Same way the "GNU/Linux" stuff was always dead in the water too.
What's a better term to distinguish GNU/Linux, which uses Linux as its kernel, from Android, which also uses Linux as its kernel?
PC is an architecture and even "Macs" are really just "PCs" now (as is XBox and so on).
Macs are personal computers because the person who owns it directs what computing is done on it. This has been the case as long as Xcode has been available. An unmodded retail Xbox, by contrast, is not a personal computer because Microsoft uses code signing to control what code is allowed to run. The same is true of a Windows RT or Windows 10 S device.
This just in: remote filesystems are not as good as distributed revisions control systems at being a distributed revision control systems. Film at 11.
Google used to offer revision control under the name Google Code. It no longer does. So which service do you recommend for hosting a private distributed revision control repository? Is $108 per year (source) a good deal?
And how well do popular distributed revision control systems handle things other than the relatively small, diff-friendly plain text files that make up computer program source code? Examples include design documents made with LibreOffice or large graphics files made with GIMP.
You need "a real domain name" just for your household if you're going to be running any local webservers, as CAs don't issue TLS certificates for RFC 1918 IP addresses or made-up TLDs, and both Chrome and Firefox restrict cleartext HTTP servers from using sensitive JavaScript APIs.
There's no problem, just another's computers somewhere
Without the use of someone else's computer, how else are you supposed to send a file from your computer behind a firewall that blocks incoming connections to a colleague's computer behind a firewall that blocks incoming connections?
Email? FTP site? VPN? All use someone else's computer, unless you spend big bucks to colo your own.
I get pissed whenever someone pulls working software from under my feet to replace it with something newer and "better" ( may GNOME3 burn in hell). Give me something static that stays out of my way and not an ever changing mess of "upgrades".
When GNOME 2 was pulled from under my bottom in Ubuntu 11.10 in favor of Un(usabil)ity, I did sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and never looked back. It's been nearly six years since I switched to Xfce, and it has proven to be comfortably static in the way you describe.
Often the problem is with accessing Google Search in the first place, which makes the "Google the name of the program plus a few words related to what you want to do. Follow any instructions." node ineffective. Or they get to the "Pick one at random." node and end up picking the one option that causes data loss, not knowing that it will cause data loss. For this and other reasons, certain of my relatives reach the "Have you been trying this for over half an hour? - Yes" edge fairly consistently.
"Never" is a strong word. I contend that the following is a counterexample: The application FamiTracker has no Mac port. It is made for Windows and works correctly in GNU/Linux under Wine.
The world is full of cross platform software.
I imagine that much of multi-platform software exists because the company that made it was large enough to afford the extra expense of a multi-platform release.
Slashdot Mirror
AMO robo-signs unlisted Firefox extensions without any sort of manual review of whether or not an extension infringes a third party's copyright.

I type in LAN IP addresses all the time. By default in Chrome is just works as expected.
I expect doing so in Chrome to send the LAN IP address to Google. I expect this but do not desire this.

In the old days of Jetpack extensions, the Keybinder extension was useful for disabling Ctrl+Q. But Keybinder will not be ported to WebExtensions, and the comparable WebExtension Disable Ctrl-Q and Cmd-Q doesn't work in Linux because of bug 1325692, which will not be fixed in time for Firefox 57.
Only very recently have the MP3 patents expired in Slashdot's home country.
