Firefox always was fast. You were using it wrong.

In one (mostly non-canon-ish) novel, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_The_Ultimate_Evil , he did take on a guy who was terrifyingly like Epstein; among others.

Well, I'm now going to be following Stallman without the FSF around. His (admittedly) iconoclastic views are important, and I appreciate what he says about technology and privacy. His legal views are questionable, yes, but I don'

All those technologies you named above are part of my daily life. I can't imagine not saving my (plaintext) writing on a floppy. I listen to CDs, and I watch DVDs. All of my video output is VGA or CGA. My DVD player uses RCA. The 3.5 m

You can have my scrollbar when you pull it from my cold, dead, GUI. If I don't have a scrollbar visible (with or without cursor), I'd better be in console.

His work isn't done, but I'd say it's definitely good enough. I'll get my coat.

This doesn't even get into the expansion, which I find odd. Sure there's aliens, but what about the Free Drones, or the Data Angels? It feels like there's a clear analogy to some of the discussion going on today (re: Google)

What they should be saying is, "No, what Google is doing is Wrong with a capital WRONG and we're not going to accept their wishes in closing off what's left of the open Web." But then they'd have to give up all thei

Oh, it could do that? I still use Calibre and Sigil. Then again, how can any browser not in some way support ePUB? It's just a bunch of hyperlinked XML files in a container. Rename it to a .ZIP and you're good to go.

And what will this do to fares? If they stop being the cheapest fast option between two points, I don't feel like I'd be alone in going another way.

Unfortunately, to most of the adtech and copyright lobby, those two things are always going to go together.

Maybe it's the new Assembly. With what little hacking and programming I am willing to put effort into, I will always prefer to work at the direct hardware access level rather than the massive abstraction that is required to run C &

I upgraded from Thunderbird to Interlink (the UXP equivalent) when WebExtensions became the Mozilla demand. Since then I've had no complaints. Is there any valid reason to consider trying the program again?

Yes, and the issue is that the trains were put in places that never were destinations. You would have to change the long-standing habits of businesses and commuters to alter that. Even they light rail doesn't change that. Mass transit

I can think of three that fit that description. Or the ones up a bunch of stairs, with no parking and no real signs.

I can't ride a scooter or a bicycle - no balance and I can't even see well enough to get a license. So yes, 10 minutes' walk from a station to work, I'm probably getting into a climate-controlled Uber if there's no

I wish I did. I would suggest looking in Reddit's r/writing for advice.

I can speak to the NJTransit example briefly buzzed past. In NJ, train stations are not destinations. Most people I see get off the train and into either an Uber or some other NJTransit vehicle. Edited because of a misclick.

I have an 'L' key. It works well enough for my needs.

That's perfectly correct, dude.

Why should anyone worry about 'authenticity' in food? Perhaps I'm very American in my view here, but my thought is that taste comes before history. Crab Rangoon, which I've interestingly never seen relabeled Crab Yangon,

It's amazing how much this applies to fiction writing, too. Having a clear outline and keeping it updated really helps - especially if you're not a linear writer and work on multiple points in a single session. Then again, if more

Okay, but do bromide and chlorine naturally occur in the water in that area? Or was it because of human meddling?

I'm of two minds about what you're saying. On the one hand, it looked like a bold failure from the start. On the other hand, it put the idea of solar generation in "unorthodox" places into the minds of normal people and

If direct sunlight triggers a harmful reaction in your water, you need to reconsider what's in your water.

I actually love seeing the "pavement lights" in NYC when I walk past them, or recognize that I'm walking under them. At this point, I know they're purely decorative, but it was a nice touch and something idealistic that

You know, I always wondered why they didn't go for solar covered sidewalks, which would provide shade to pedestrians and power to everything that needs it. Roads seem like a better place for pressure-based generation (of anything, fra

When you have a piece of consumer-focused hardware which could help bridge the gap for mainstream users into a world of Free & Private, what you should be doing is actively seeking ways to bring them in. Besides that, it's an expen

My dander's up over that indictment of my use-case, so this is probably going to sound like a rant, maybe even a counter attack. It's very nice of you to live in the future and dictate what my budget should be. For those of us liv
