Mozilla in all their wisdom decided to remove those options when they removed the settings to disable JavaScript all together. I'm not entirely sure what the rationale for that decision was
Possibly to reduce the cost of supporting users in case Firefox extensions and Firefox apps do not work correctly when JavaScript is turned off.
"You could have always not used the website for finding housing." Then you'd run afoul of the city's sit/lie law. My point is that governments forcing people to use a particular private-sector service can be less direct and more subtle than one might initially think.
non-repeating characters (in fact it reduces entropy by some security admins seems to think it is a good idea), numbers and so on.
If there are 64 choices for each character, a requirement for non-repeating characters reduces the number of choices for characters after the first to 63, for a total of -log[2]((63/64)^9) =.2 bits of entropy lost in a 10-character password.
Let me spell it out: Intel probably is having a hard time figuring out how to release a Direct Rendering Manager module that upholds its Digital Restrictions Management obligations.
the links GP provided are for RAM disk cards which can only be used as storage, not as system RAM.
I intended "and then swap to it" to mean that the external storage would be used to hold a page file, which in effect augments your system RAM. But because it's RAM, it wouldn't have quite as much slowdown as swapping to a hard disk.
"Attempts to download high traffic release files from this server will get a '550 Permission denied.' response." Yet you managed to download the ESR.
You hid a lot of the log with "(...)", including the part where you navigated within the pub directory. Did this "(...)" contain any "550 Permission denied." responses?
Perhaps downloading the ESR worked because apparently Mozilla doesn't consider ESRs to be "high traffic release files". So I guess you have to download the ESR (47 megs) and then use that to download the current version (another 47 megs or so).
I thought Mozilla removed releases from ftp.mozilla.org and disabled the FTP protocol on releases.mozilla.org. From messages that I get while logging in to ftp.mozilla.org anonymously:
releases.mozilla.org now points to our CDN distribution network and no longer works for FTP traffic [...] Attempts to download high traffic release files from this server will get a "550 Permission denied." response.
Though it has broader meanings in Chinese and Japanese, the English loanword qi specifically means the energy sustaining one's life, the same thing that the Bible means when it says "spirit" (Greek pneuma; Hebrew ruach).
Which raises another question: How would Scrabble work in Chinese? Do they make Pinyin Scrabble or something?
So where can I buy these mythical Thunderbolt RAM modules then?
It'd be possible to make a Thunderbolt enclosure for DIMMs. For example, you could put a PCI-e RAM drive in a Thunderbolt card cage or a SATA RAM drive in a Thunderbolt SATA cage and then swap to it. In practice, no, I don't know who still makes these.
Amazon's Fire TV is a piece of hardware. Use of "the" with hardware sounds more justified to me than use of "the" with software (which is considered the title of a work).
The autoplay attribute of the <video> element controls this. Which browser autoplays even if the autoplay attribute is not specified?
Some systems may display a play/pause/bla bar, others will not.
The controls attribute of the <video> element controls this. Which browser shows controls if the controls attribute is not specified or hides controls if the controls attribute is specified? But I'll grant that live streaming is more likely to need custom JavaScript controls.
If the employer allows me to work without having to buy a car and gas, the employer has to pay me $A + $B to retain me, where $B is the price of bicycle maintenance, 1-day bus passes for wet days, and 31-day bus passes for the coldest months. If the employer requires me to buy a car and gas, the employer has to pay me $A + $G to retain me, where $G is the price of a car and gas. So by locating my office within reasonable cycling distance of my home and near a bus route, the employer saves $G - $B.
If the employer allows me to take breaks without having to buy cellular Internet, the employer has to pay me $A to retain me and pay its wired ISP $D for the modest extra bandwidth I use during breaks. If the employer requires me to buy cellular Internet for use during breaks, the employer has to pay me $A + $C to retain me, where $C is the price of cellular Internet and much larger than $D. So by allowing reasonable use of company Internet during breaks, the employer saves $C - $D.
The Supreme Court of the United States held in Eldred v. Ashcroft (2003) that a copyright term is "limited" so long as it is limited at any given point in time. An extension of 20 years every 20 years is still "limited".
If the PSU fails, you have Apple replace it. If the logic board fails, you have Apple replace it.
I think Eloking's point is that Apple would charge substantially more for this replacement after the warranty expires than a retailer would charge for a PC motherboard or PSU that the end user installs.
What if the I want to upgrade the graphic card or the CPU?
I can't speak for replacing the CPU, PSU, or motherboard after Apple's warranty expires, but Google thunderbolt gpu returns results that appear relevant. And how would an "internal" hard drive be significantly faster than one that connects over "SuperSpeed" USB 3?
Again...you're kidding right?
Why the fuck would I want a desktop with Intel Xeon E5 and dual AMD FirePro, 4 USB port (my desktop have 8 and I have to use a splitter) at 3K$ for my home?
I don't entirely understand what you find significant about the exact specs you quote. Are you trying to tell me you think the Mac Pro is overspecced in certain expensive ways that you find useless?

The password prompt on Frontier DSL router administration page blocks both the clipboard and usage without JavaScript.
Famiclones appeared prior to 1997 when NESticle became usable.
the Chinese are great at pirating software. Hardware was the real hurdle.
If you know what a "Famiclone" is, you might see why it's not too much of a hurdle.
Let me spell it out: Intel probably is having a hard time figuring out how to release a Direct Rendering Manager module that upholds its Digital Restrictions Management obligations.
Intel has yet to release the inteldrm module for Broadwell chips.
Let me hazard a guess why:
"the inteldrm module"
"inteldrm"
"drm"
Digital restrictions management strokes again.

I've since discovered that a crossword game using Pinyin that is similar to Scrabble exists.
With agile you can't just decide to take a sprint to do investigation, there always has to be a deliverable of some sort
According to this list of agile deliverable names, you might be able to get away with an investigation that produces a "roadmap for repayment of technical debt".
The housing market only matters if you have two houses or if you are changing housing markets.
Why doesn't relocation count as "changing housing markets"?

And the fact that he does ask for permission is why he doesn't appear suppressed to the general public. There are plenty of parodies that casual fans may not be aware of, such as "Chicken Pot Pie". In practice, it's often not a judge as much as an E&O insurer that decides what's safe to release.
A 1920x1080 TV is bigger in both ways than a 1366x768 panel in an entry-level laptop.
