I guess J.J. Abrams is somewhat forgiven for this, then: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/startrek/images/2/29/Vulcan_dies_in_Delta_Vegan_skies.jpg http://v

  Firefox tries to download this file
  • throwanem 10y ago
    It's a webp. Firefox doesn't support those.
    • kakarot 10y ago
      What? Worked just fine for me.
      • throwanem 10y ago
        In which Firefox version?
        • yellowapple 10y ago
          Worked for me in Firefox for Android (53, Aurora build).
          • throwanem 10y ago
            Maybe it's a prerelease feature, or maybe Firefox is falling back on a capability that at least some desktop OSes don't have.

          51.0.1 32bit. Don't ask me why I'm running 32bit FF, this is news to me as well.
          • throwanem 10y ago
            I'd be more inclined to ask why it worked for you in that exact version, but not for me in the very same one. (Mine might be 64-bit, but I can't see that making a difference here.)

              I went to investigate for curiosity's sake but OP changed the link on us!
  • pshposh 10y ago
    It doesn't work in Microsoft Edge either (yup I use it).
    • capote 10y ago
      Is this taboo? I also use Edge and find it great.
      • pshposh 10y ago
        I don't see many people using Edge. I mostly don't have any problems now that it has extensions for ad block and lastpass. Sometimes opening a new tab just mysteriously doesn't work (it sits with the tab open doing nothing) or the website barely works without Edge freezing up (CarMax.com). The battery life is really good though.

    Doesn't work on IOS either (chrome specifically).
  • SSLy 10y ago
    works on Arch Linux FF

    Apologies, sloppy link-copying. Should be pointing to the .jpg now.

  I always thought that Firefly's scenario of a bunch of Earth-like worlds in close enough proximity to have regular trading ships flying between them was unrealistic. Now, not so much. This system even fits in with the "Abandon Earth en-mass, move to new set of worlds" backstory. So, what did J.J. know, and when did he know it? And for that matter, how did he know?
  • roninb 10y ago
    Just making sure, but I hope you know that JJ Abrams had literally absolutely nothing to do with Firefly and wasn't even tangentially related to its creation nor production. Also, I'm relatively positive that JJ (in the sci-fi works he actually, well, worked on), himself, knew nothing (see Armageddon for sources) and that his script supervisors dealt with any discrepancies with reality JJ had.
    • DougWebb 10y ago
      Man, I feel dumb. Yeah I meant Joss Whedon. Too many J's in sci-fi I like, I guess.

    Joss Whedon is the name you're looking for, not JJ Abrams.

    Corrections aside, it is an interesting observation that Firefly is less outlandish with this discovery (not a criticism, Firefly is optimized for fun, not scientific plausibility). Still, assuming light speed travel, Firefly's inhabited planets are still a heck of a lot closer, since the crew doesn't seem to noticeably age between the half dozen or so star systems that they visit, and don't appear to have any kind of tech to reversibly[1] halt their metabolisms. [1] the reversibility it the hard part. Tech for halting metabolic processes irreversibly has been around for quite some time ;)

  Except bigger, with multiple planets in the sky at once.
