I have the world's best manager. Typically, I go to him and say, "Please tell me I'm not allowed to do X." His response, "You are not allowed to do X! (Now tell me who actually needs to hear that you're not allowed to do this, and why.)"
Absolutely. Wasn't it the Bard who said, The first thing we do, let's kill all the process junkies!?
Or, in this more enlightened era, maybe we can send them out to work on a farm for awhile--the fresh air, sunshine, and exercise would do them a world of good, and they'd at long last get the chance to learn a useful trade. Not to mention the most excellent poetic justice factor when they're the ones shovelling the horseshit...
A/C? Are you kidding? It's 2 degrees and snowing here, they've got the heat shut down this afternoon while they're flushing the radiators, and I've got my space heater going. Why do they not do this in, say, August?
That's rich. Pretty fucking difficult not to react "negatively" to removing features with every new release of late. (Which seems to be all the UX clowns are good for.)
We're not complaining about change. We're complaining about (a) constantly taking things away, and (b) constantly breaking extensions. Extensibility supposedly being a key selling point for Firefox in the first fucking place.
I use Firefox for work. Big UI changes mess with my workflow. You're saying that FF was never meant to be used for work, maybe?
Having to edit my userChrome.css file to put the tabs back where I had them because some genius at Mozilla decided it'd be funky to break the tab paradigm itself by moving the tab bar way the fuck to the top of the window while giving me neither any choice in the matter nor any way to put it back without hacking the UI is not a "pea under the mattress". It's fucked up, is what it is. KGFY.
The other thing I hate about the mobile version of Firefox is that it puts the page title in the location bar, so I can't really tell what site I'm on...
Same here.
Believe it or not, there's actually a preference for this. It's under "Settings... Display... Title Bar".
Aboard an incoming flight, you can see Beijing's air long before you can see anything of the city itself. Looks like a big inverted bowlful of smoke about 5 km high and 50 km in radius.
I've lived in Stockholm for 7+ years, and it's never seriously occurred to me to buy a car. I've rented a car or van a couple of times when I've needed to haul something across town or between cities, but that's been it.
...you just have to have the right number of stops. Stopping in every town is stupid. But if the train stopped every hour or so that might well make sense.
This is what the Jingguang does. It's about 2400 km with 14 stops if you go the whole route from Beijing to Guangzhou. 8+ hours station to station makes for a stop about every 40 minutes. Most of the stops are for just long enough to people to get on/off, but every third (or so) stop is a provincial capital, and is generally long enough to step out on the platform and grab a cigarette if you're so inclined. Nice seats, smooth ride, minimal baggage and security hassles, and about 20% cheaper than going by air. We figured we would have saved maybe 2 hours maximum by flying, assuming no delays or other foul-ups at either end.
GMO crops do reduce margins, no doubt. But the notion that they turn a formerly profit-rich enterprise into slave labor is laughable.
That's a notion that exists only in your imagination. Nobody's claiming that farmers were formerly wealthy (except folks like you looking to tilt at strawmen). What actually happens is that people who don't have a lot already (subsistence farmers) and what few resources they have get turned into profit-generation centres for multinationals. They *possibly* might grow more crops; they *possibly* might eat a bit better; they *certainly* will not be any better off economically, since all the money (and the political power that accompanies it) goes into InterAgriCo.
Um, which market would that be? Over here it looks like the market has chosen otherwise.
Also, get back to us when you understand what "choice" means. The fact you can begin a sentence with, "It not like someone takes a gun and forces...," and apparently keep a straight face tells us that you don't.
Come to Scandinavia, where there are lots of folks named "Thor" or "Tor", including the guy who lives just above me. He's a handyman and swings a very real hammer.

French press, hand grinder, beans, and boiling water, baby. Unadulterated and cheap.

...some boilerplate garbage cut and pasted from stackoverflow.
Is the text still available on Stackoverflow following the paste operation?
Then you meant "copied and pasted". Not quite the same thing. You should use the one that actually means what you apparently want to say.
The capitalisation of Slashdot titles is incorrect by American standards as well, as anyone with a copy of the Chicago Manual of Style can tell you.
€10 says this is because you can't build 64-bit binaries with the free version of MSVS.

I currently know zero tech people still using Firefox.
No longer true. I'm Zontar--how do you do?

It's quite common in Australia to refer to kilometres as "Ks".

The first amendment lists no exceptions, so he's 100% protected.
Try shouting, "Fire!", in a crowded theatre and see how far that gets you.

The market chooses GMO.

There's no reason to make up lies about a group whose truths don't mesh with your worldview.
Double-click + double-click (or double-click + drag to tab bar) WFM.
state ownership of the means of production, in that the state claims a monopoly on anything produced as described in the patent or copyright
That's a pretty gross mischaracterisation of patents and copyrights.
200 years is a limited time. Quit yer grousing.
Oh, yeah, the video-on-a-chip-and-only-on-a-chip people. Was always surprised that Sun didn't try to sue them over their logo.

Nouveau was flaky as hell with my Nvidia card in 13.1. Switched to the Nvidia driver, smooth sailing ever since.
