Also, I'm seeing a lot of people writing "allot" when trying to write "a lot." Now you're just making up fucking words that phonetically match what you're trying to say.
Idiots in this upcoming generation.
rant..FAIL
allot is a word.
Go back to sleep, idiot.
Yeah, but to his credit, in this sense it is incorrect in context. Allot and 'a lot' do not mean the same thing.
Indeed, that is the universal way that the electronics industry works, company A makes the product, company b. makes it smaller/better/faster Company C makes it smaller better faster and cheaper, company B sues company C. Claiming smaller better faster are unobvious progressions of the technology.
XSS, cookies and local storage is where the most privacy concerns crop up. Mostly XSS. I saw no mention of that on the chrome vs iron page.
That's a good point, but shouldn't those be taken care of in the Chromium source?
NoScript looks after it on Firefox. I'll have to assume that it goes over each script when it's loaded and looks for external references, or it traps script load requests, which might be easier.
I suppose you could write it into the ECMAScript interpreter. In any event, it needs to be there before Iron it can be considered a replacement for Firefox.
OK, you nailed a spelling error. Personally I see nothing wrong with the context. And as far as spelling errors go, at least it's a slightly esoteric phrase, your work would be best directed at people who can't deal with simple English and word sets like: to/two/too your/you're their/there/they're past/passed &etc.
I see that they have an Ad Blocker. That's nice, and one reason to use firefox. But ads aren't the real problem, they are just annoying (OK, A real problem, but not THE real problem).

Agreed, but I think it fails as a WYSIWYG HTML editor...and, probably for the purposes of the post, it equals vi...
Yes, it equals vi, and in fact it is launched when you type vi. But, but, but, do you have a browser? Does it not show you the web page? Is:w, -Tab, F5 too much of a burden? Don't all of the browsers show you a total breakdown of every element in a page if there is a conflict?
I don't understand the attractiveness of WYSIWIG, it's free no matter how you work. It certainly doesn't qualify as a feature.
I don't like eclipse much either, but if you want WYSIWIG, you can have it by opening your page in a browser. You know, the target client? I don't get this WYSIWIG crap.
WYSIWYG editors are wildly helpful when it comes to saving time and opportunities to typo your code. If you can put together an error-free 7x9 table in Notepad++ in five seconds, get off Slashdot and get back to your hyperproductive life. (Also, I call BS.) If time and accuracy are no object, it's a hobby or you're learning. In those cases, by all means, use a straight up text editor, because you're writing web pages for the joy of doing it, or you need to do it more to practice and get better at it.
For the rest of us, who do this sort of thing for a living, or as a time-sensitive project, we need pages coded quickly and accurately, which is why we (convince our employers to) pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for products like Dreamweaver. The split view in Dreamweaver is really useful for doing tricky layouts. Let the program do the heavy lifting by dropping in whatever blocks/tables/whatever that you need, tweak the code as necessary to get the desired result, push the changes up to pre-production, and get on to the next thing that needs to be done ALL WITHOUT SWITCHING WINDOWS. It doesn't leave out tags, it doesn't typo parameters, it doesn't forget the name of that one variable you need to change to get what you're looking for.
If you're shunning tools to make you more productive in the name of intellectual purity, you're just being difficult and spiteful to yourself, your boss, your employer, your client, or any number of other stakeholders, people who need to see the work done for a reason other than to demonstrate you can do it.
tl;dr: No.
I can produce an error free 7x9 table in microseconds if I generate it. Using an editor, 5 seconds? No.
I switch windows a lot too. I'm also shunning tools to make me more productive. (Couldn't resist)
WYSIWIG tools create shite. I love the little band of content that decorates the middle of my huge web browser. Yeah, that's why HTML was designed to flow, so you could pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to use a tool that produces that stripe, not to mention automatically including 87 XSS scripts to track my every move. I actually don't know that they do that, it's an empirical observation on crap sites. It could be similar to the "research causes cancer in rats" model.
A web page isn't WYSIWYG... the content is supposed to flow depending on the size of the browser window. Any tool that abuses tables for screen layout is hopelessly fucked. I've probably cursed one of your websites trying to view it on a smartphone. I suppose you use Word because TEX or LATEX isn't WYSIWYG...
LOL!
I agree 100%, too bad you have described 80% of the web.
Turns out we're both right. In Canada, OZ, and GB, treaties cannot change domestic law without a further act of parliament. It is only in the US that treaties become law by default.
The governments of all the countries I mention can sign treaties without further approval.
I stand corrected and I'm glad I looked that up. I'm not an American and I thought that that rule was more or less international.
The final link actually shows Firefox is one of the most memory inefficient browsers in heavy usage.
That depends on how you look at it. With one tab open it is comparatively poor, but with 40 tabs open it's very good.
I don't particularly think FFX has even close to the best performance, but those metrics are good. What's more important, good management with a low footprint or a high one? I have to disagree with you there.
Slashdot Mirror
Apparently the group has become self aware!
Nuke from orbit. It's the only way to be sure!
Once again I feel I have to point out. THAT DIDN'T WORK! So it is not a way to be sure.
That's not the problem. The problem is that moderators gave him +5 Informative and are now modding down the accused, even for legitimate posts.
Even the legitimate posts? We'll have to be more careful and not mod the legitimate posts down. Sorry, sometimes it's hard to tell.

I'm not a grammar nazi, but I don't understand how you can fuck this up because the words don't even sound the same.
Nah, you're just a dick.

Rest assured that Israel dishes it out at least as well as they get it. They're hardly innocent babes in the woods.
I'd like to nominate that as the understatement of the year.

Samsung is one of those companies whose business is centered on making commodity knock-offs of popular products
Canon does that too. The products are generally superior, the business model is the same.
Don't forget Facebook. TechGuys wuvs Facebook.
"Hey TechGuys, do you think MS/FB behave ethically?". Anything other than a negative would indicate such.
LOL! OK, you ask him, see if he answers.
Didn't you hear, last years colder wetter winter was caused by global warming.
You must live in Texas.
That depends on how you look at it. With one tab open it is comparatively poor, but with 40 tabs open it's very good.
And in which of these states is it most likely a typical (non-Slashdotter) Firefox user will be?
What difference does it make?

They stalk you because you are loved.
But let's be honest, looking at your post history, one would expect you to insert a Google bash here.
I don't like eclipse much either, but if you want WYSIWIG, you can have it by opening your page in a browser. You know, the target client? I don't get this WYSIWIG crap.
vim rocks.
Way to really not even try to be helpful.

Any other opinions on that?
Maybe this one.
Cool.
Only runs on Windows though, that leaves me out.
I use other browsers for development, but only Firefox to browse, it's the only browser that I feel is actively protecting my privacy.
Any other opinions on that?
Interesting that my totally on topic relevant post attracted one Troll and an Offtopic. I have buddies modding me down! Yay!
And I thought no one cared.
Nothing supersedes the domestic law. NOTHING.
You force me to Google.
Turns out we're both right. In Canada, OZ, and GB, treaties cannot change domestic law without a further act of parliament. It is only in the US that treaties become law by default.
The governments of all the countries I mention can sign treaties without further approval.
I stand corrected and I'm glad I looked that up. I'm not an American and I thought that that rule was more or less international.
