  1. I hope they don't kill it. I love it. I do remember they were still hiring and updating.

    Ditto. I still use Mozilla's suite product, SeaMonkey, since I was always had been a fan of those since Netscape days. SeaMonkey hasn't changed its GUI frontend much like Firefox and others. It uses the older Firefox/Gecko versions. Its v2.48's user agent shows "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0 SeaMonkey/2.48". Upcoming versions will be relying on ESR versions.

    Also, isn't it possible to recover its datas with those disk recovery companies?

    Ditto. I just upgraded my TV and computer monitor to 1080P HD in 2014! I am not getting 4K and 8K for several years or more.

    And Pros!! Frak the touchbar, etc.

  15. Also, I thought it was already included if one subscribes to Showtime on cable TV too when I checked on CATurday evening/night. Lame!

  16. Re:I knew nothing of him, so I checked Wikipedia.. on Facebook's 21-Year-Old Wunderkind Leaves For Google (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    It's like the old dotcom days. :(

  17. None of the new stuff and forced hardware changes with USB3, no lame touchbar, etc. I am bummed that Apple no longer offers to customize and order 2015 model online like its MF839LL (http://apple.com/us-hed/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=MF839LL/A&step=config). The defaults are crap like the small SSD, RAM, etc. sizes. :(

    Ah thanks. I have never heard of that brand before. It seems people love it.

    ... with a homemade cardbox set up to view a partial solar eclipse. It wasn't darker and cooler in my rural area. :( This would had been my second time in my life for any solar eclipses so far.

  24. Ditto. I didn't think I would like Portal game when I bought The Orange Box from the local retail stores. Since it came with HL2, I decided to try it. Oh man. Valve Software made a good decision to include it with HL2 and TF2. I still haven't bought and played Portal 2. I am still trying to resume and finish my old computer games (finished Crysis 1 & Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wraith, and trying to finish World in Conflict) from a decade ago during my unemployment period.
