    Even if we don't let the new immigrants in Europe, we still have the old ones, their children and grandchildren to deal with.

    Some of the old ones may not even have been regarded as immigrants at the time. IIRC, Algeria was considered part of France for about 125 years until Algeria achieved independence in the early 1960s.

    It's a dependent clause.

    No, it's not.

    The "also" applies to "the decision", as opposed to "the initial results".

    No, it doesn't.

    The sentence is quite the run-on, and it's awkwardly constructed; however, it's grammatically correct.

    No, it's not.

    Stop trying to put lipstick on a pig, willya?

    Busted. We're writers, not developers, so we wrote our XML processing toolchain with XSLT, Bash, Perl, Ruby, Python, and PHP. We only re-publish about 30,000 pages of documentation in about 20 different end-user formats every single day, so it's not like it's a *real* application or anything...

    Themes go heaps further than what colour the buttons are.

    Themes are (or were) our way of undoing self-serving/short-sighted UI changes otherwise forced down our throats.

    Or maybe you missed it when, for example, some tool at Mozilla decided that since he didn't like the status bar, no-one was going to have one anymore...?

    I am SO VERY tired of hacking profiles, extensions, and theme files every 3-4 weeks to get them to keep working. I am tired of the never-ending Gypsy Switch.

    I've used almost nothing but mainline Firefox since before it was Firefox (Mozilla Phoenix 0.6, late 2000--and my original profile that I've been migrating all these years dates back to Netscape 2.0 ca 1995). I've been stubborn as hell about sticking with it.

    Because I WANTED TO BELIEVE, but fuck that noise.

    I want to BELIEVE but at the end of the day I need to GET STUFF DONE. Time to try something else. Thanks for the link.
