she didn't do jack shit, spent tax dollars buying a new Gucci bag and vacationing in luxury, showing up on Remembrance Day pretending to be the queen and getting paid for it, she couldn't be bothered with actual work.

apples and oranges. chrome and firefox is used by millions of people. of course its going to have more eyes on it but when was the last time you couldn't render something in your browser? phantomjs is used mainly by developers. you can

this reminds me of the time they removed the vulcan cannon during the start of vietnam war because they thought the days of dog fighting was over because of missiles. Then their jets started falling left and right and they ended up installi

Take headless browsers with a pinch of salt. They are not a replacement for a real browser. Don't be surprised when it renders or behaves differently from a real browser. Did they fix the memory leak issues in PhantomJS? Take a look at

it's over when you quit. plenty of people work on their startups/business without a salary, sometimes for years. it's fucking tough, it's no easy street. Get your shit together and then reassess, you need a roof over you

omg....when I was 10 I wrote a story about how humanity takes nuclear waste to the sun. tl;dr results in nuclear apocalypse destroying the entire solar system.
