It sure did. We could've had at least one open-source, configurable, programmable browser for power users, now Firefox is removing XUL, and power users don't have a choice of a browser anymore. And for what purpose? Mozilla's

Is Ruby supposed to be an example of "not dying" language? Because it has certainly passed its glory days as well. Also Common Lisp is better in every way ;) There's even a JVM implementation (ABCL) for people who like that s

You're confusing Libertarians with Anarchists. As an aside: I've always been waiting for communists to declare North Korea heaven on earth.

At the time this was released, the game performed terribly (as in, incredibly slowly) on all but most advanced PCs. The "real gamedevs" (such as Carmack) were trying to optimize for performance and working on the most possible har

I can't look at the word "toot" without being reminded of a terrible, terrible Alvin and the Chipmunks song where it's an euphemism for farts.

As much as I dislike Trump (for being an obvious Putin shill) and Twitter (for the mindless 140-character "discourse" it propagates), it is absolutely not Twitter's fault Trump got elected. It's that Democratic Party has

Meanwhile Russia has banned LinkedIn, WeChat, LINE and plans to ban Telegram as well. At least Ukraine has a very good excuse.

It is worth saying it's an extremely difficult language to learn because most people are not prepared for what awaits them even if they learned another language before . Anyone can pick up how to read kana in a week or so, so it'

What were even her options to marry? Marrying somebody in a royal family from another country? European monarchs did that for a while, but it doesn't seem in the spirit of Japanese nationalism. Or does she have to marry within her ow

Why was it flagged? Saying that Assange is Putin's stooge is allowed, but not Snowden even though Snowden actually lives in Russia? Double standards, anyone?

So, he wasn't actually going to Equador like you said earlier , but "one of potential destinations". Yeah, right. You can't even keep your story straight, how am I supposed to argue with that? >You know he was en rou

I take it you haven't seen that (obviously staged) Q&A with Putin with Snowden calling in, asking a ridiculously softball question. Any person with integrity would refuse serving as cheap PR for Putin's regime. >You know he

This is great. I dislike the Gnome project itself, but they have some subprojects like GIMP that would benefit from this. Props for not just moving to the most popular service cough, Python , but the one that is actually free software.

I always recommend against Paint.NET precisely because of its adware-ridden website. There are enough free, open-source alternatives that you don't really need it. Hell, even IrfanView can do little image edits if you need something

Uber doesn't even have competitors in many markets they expanded to. Well, save for traditional taxis.

Books, and using your brain. I still hardly ever use Stack Overflow (never asked a question, might check out the answer if it comes up in Google results, but usually it's not very useful).

Looks like an EDGE ripoff. Why is there space to the left of pinned tabs and to the left of URL field? Is it used for something? I have no unused space in my Firefox UI right now, so this seems wasteful. The only thing I like is that they m

Adding another example, just the other day a video blogger in Russia has been convicted for 3 years (suspended sentence) for the "crime" of filming a video of playing Pokemon Go in a church. [1] He spent more than half a year in

What is this guy's opinion on BlaBlaCar? It's been quite popular in Europe for a while now. Is Uber being legally challenged only because it directly competes with taxis while BlaBlaCar doesn't?

Youtube search engine is absolutely disastrous. Think of a band (no matter how obscure). Search for "[band] live" and sort by upload date. Good luck scrolling through hundreds and hundreds of spam "streams" before you fi
