   Wow, this was a really interesting explanation. I think this is perfectly appropriate for junior school while the explanation about non-converging limits offerred above by someone is well suited to college students.

   Well you gave the answer. This was the way my maths teacher taught us about why 0 is a curious number.

   I agree. I was contributing to a project on GitHub and after trying continuosly for two days I was stuck. I then came back to the issue after a week and fixed it almost instantly. It was just a stupid mistake that slipped my mind the first

   Sure. I'll start reading up. I'll join after the new year. Thanks for replying.

   I can't say about Pentadactyl but I do think it is a good enough replacement for Vimperator. Sorry.

   I started using Nightly for kicks and giggle around 6 months ago and my about:crashes shows me only 6 crashes (none of which were able to kill anything more than a tab (and in all the cases, the offending website was YouTube)). Nightly is a

   I have stock on 153 tabs with two processes each using 670MB of memory (1.3 GB total) and CPU is at a comfortable 1.5% + 0.9% (2.4%). EDIT: Oh, I do have 22 extensions installed. [1]: http://i.imgur.com/Epkfydj.png

   Same here, at the start of August I had a total of around 350 tabs, divided into 8 groups according to topics (General, Entertainment, GitHub, Firefox Dev, GNOME Dev, Thesis, Interview Preps etc.) and my CPU idled at around 4% (2.2GHz - 2.7

   Yes. I do think you it enabled. To confirm, go to about:support, and look for the field that says, "Multiprocess Windows". If it is a value > 0, you do have multiprocess. If you are on an old version, check for the string &quot

    I would like to help out in any way I can. Where should I look to get an idea of the project and what do I need to know to be able to work on it?

    Check out VimFX. It is a very capable substitute.

    Thanks. That's a really good explanation about dual-licensing.

    Check again. A refresh was launched recently and it even has Matte screen, upto 2TB of mSATA RAID0, 32GB of RAM, desktop GPU, i7-6x series (2.6Gto 3.5G Turbo).

    I do agree with the support. I have a cheap Dell Inspiron with 1 year complete warranty which I extended to 3 years (very cheap package) and their service is so great that they came the next day I called them to ask about a keyboard replace

    I have the Blade Stealth and haven't had any problems with it yet apart from an update that caused my fans to keep on spinning. It's been fixed since then. I do agree that Linux has very variable performance and experiences across

    Any serious CAD or simulation software is not easily available on MacOS.

    Check out Razer Blade or the Blade Pro, any Alienware, any System86 machine, most of the Dell XPS series. Don't touch HP with Linux (really bad firmware and driver compat issues).

    Damn, you stole my chance to link to the xkcd comic. Randall does have an xkcd for everything.

    Try the Razer Blade or the Razer Blade Pro. Except for the green logo on the top nothing makes it look like a gaming machine. And the Pro even has mechanical switches.

    I think you'd like the upgraded Razer Pro (announced just a few months ago) if cost is not a very big issue.

    Lifehacker introduced me to them and I've been a happy reader since then. The thing I like the most is that don't play the "analogy game" too much and instead generally teach a small concept and then build up on it. Whil

    I would like to take a moment to praise Quanta Magazine. They really are the one magazine that got me reading all forms of long form articles about science which if it were written plainly would go high above my head and/or would seem

    Well, I agree with them not being innovators but they definitely made a marketable product. It's the same thing for which business circles praise Apple. Apple turn already known things into a marketable package which is not so differen

    I am about to start contributing. I currently keep reading the changesets to get an idea of how things work and hang out on irc and bugzilla. I am just waiting for my winter vacations to start working of Mozilla stuff. Thanks for the links.

    I actually published such an image. You can find it at https://hub.docker.com/r/hashhar/mozilla-build/ It only includes the build tools though. You need the source code separately. I think I have provided eno

    It's really amazing how the list you created includes different products for each bullet but Microsoft (or M$ if you prefer) combined all of them into a single product which actually functions.

    It's kinda funny how that the blog link was posted to HN even before this Google one and still the third party Google one made it to the frontpage.

    Thanks a lot. This explained it beautifully. I have a spare keyboard that I am hoping to change to DVORAK to get some experience.
