   How does he cope with the acidic community? They seem to be crying out for new features and can be very critical, particularly over the "slow" development of Elite and buggy/patched releases. Many of those on the forums deman

   Yes this is precisely what I meant. eg. Electron apps, Slack, VS Code, Skype etc. etc. ad nauseum

   Out of curiosity, why would C or C++ not be good for web services?

   Yes, let's all run separate web browsers as the application and run our own JavaScript inside our browser. Who cares if there's 5 other "apps" doing exactly the same! Insanity.

   No way, I didn't know Abebooks was owned by Amazon. I always found it far easier to use than Amazon's own site for finding books.

   Very interesting, I did not know you could use a RPi as a second processor. My dad has a 6502 second processor and we were wowed by the hidden line removal and colour on Elite at the time. Didn't make me play any better though. I just

   Conversely, your entire statement could be said about Google or Facebook surely??? Thought-provoking for sure. I suppose we are all bystanders in these commercial battles and I am not sure we all win. Sorry times.

    I have noticed this too. It is very odd. I suppose everybody walking around with 2 cameras and a microphone in their pocket with widespread high-speed Internet connectivity is too much of a chance to miss for some institutions / agenci

    Doesn't that just move the problem from the boat to land?? I think that's precisely why the substance was there in Beirut anyway - it HAD been confiscated.

    This is a good point. I am just not a huge fan of the vague mission statement.

    Thanks. I did not edit it. I did indeed state that they "seemed superfluous" and that I am willing to be educated.

    How am I "empowered" on the Internet? If I do not use Mozilla products, am I powerless when I use the Internet? Are all Apple iPhone users powerless? Can I no longer "shape my own experience" if I use an iPhone with Safa

    I wonder if it is not so much "the cult of the free" as "the art of directionless misspending". Look at all the projects Mozilla got involved in that were not really related to the browser. Also, from the list of jobs la

    I used the first version and remember it being like a stripped-down version of Firefox at the time. It was the same codebase but with most of the useful UI ripped out.

    Very informative! I remember using Mozilla alongside Netscape with the entire suite for editing etc. versus Frontpage. And when Phoenix/Firebird came out how it was very basic but a slimmed down version of Mozilla. It seemed they lost

    I also find that people forget about the tricks on macos: You can drag the icon from any title of a window into a finder window or dialog to go to that directory. You can right-click on the title bar of any window and see the path to that w

    I have the non-retina version of the 2012 and it is still going strong. Battery is still fine, screen has nothing wrong with it, and I upgraded the RAM to 16GB as it only came with 8, then shoved in a 1TB SSD to replace the incredibly slow

    It's not a good advert for their services, and won't encourage anyone to buy into anything new they create if they just keep closing down services, including paid-for services. You just can't trust them to keep the service ru

    Call me old fashioned, but what about a large capacity iPod or phone storage? And then just store the "master" on your laptop and sync as appropriate.

    I too had this opinion of it from starting to read a (now out-of-date) book on Swift and Cocoa. It seemed some of the decisions eg. no fall-through for switch statements were done to reduce the possibility of bugs but just made it more irri
