It's exactly that kind of thinking that worked so brilliantly for Firefox, isn't it?

What sort of moronic thinking leads developers to 'remove the override' for advanced users?

It's thoughtfully done, but it is also useless as a dashboard, providing too little to do. I personally prefer Rubber New Tab because it is minimal in design, not content. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail&

I suppose the OP thought, like I do too, that it is obvious what positive effects come from fraternal relations with politicians. Have you read the newspapers lately from ANY part of the world? Does it still need to be explained why, in gen

Honest Question: What circumstances force you to browse without Javascript? It feels a little like running a car constantly in first gear. It is going to be a guaranteed sub-optimal experience.

I am still waiting for a proper browser based mail client that will let me read email from a variety of IMAP servers, rather than email 'clients' that are actually not clients, but just interfaces to a particular email service.

I liked the idea of a free and open-source password manager. It seems that Mitro has been around for nearly a year.[1]. It does not seem anywhere near as mature as Lastpass though. There are no additional features such as a credit card or n

The centroid is the average of all points of a shape. It is therefore the only point that contains information about the entire shape. Any other point doesn't. Naturally, since paths are distances and can also be averaged in the same w

The way this is presented in the blog post is as if this is a really insightful but now under-appreciated gem of mathematics. But all that description is saying is, when a 2D shape is made by rotation, its area is the multiple of the 1D gen

How about we make a wifi tax so that everyone pays for it and then have open networks ? How about WiMax? How about asking the ISPs to implement the free WiFi and flat subscription rates with no tiers? How about asking the mobile companies t

0.25 = 0.25 1 - 3 + 2.25 = 4 - 6 + 2.25 1^2 + 2(1)(1.5) + (1.5)^2 = (2)^2 - 2(2)(1.5) + (1.5)^2 Since a^2 - 2ab + b^2 = (a - b)^2 (1-1.5)^2 = (2-1.5)^2 1 = 2 QED.

I am surprised why anyone is still using Chrome. Their debacle with remotely disabling extensions that are not from the Web Store should have spooked users enough.

The only advantage you would get with a Chrome extension is distribution platform (Web store). Chrome extensions are not in principle 'more dicoverable'. Now it really depends on what your application does if you are considering d

Good work, though I largely prefer Source Code Pro (Medium). This is probably the most well-done monospace font I've seen. If you want to take a look see here : http://store1.adobe.com/cfusion/store/html/

GIMP is not trying to emulate Photoshop. That is their problem. Really, they should ape every single one of Photoshop's functional features. Photoshop is the standard in the arts industry. Photoshop is also darn good at what it does, c

OpenEmu is a game emulator for Mac. Retroarch http://themaister.net/retroarch.html has existed for ages though. What's different about this?
