it's also still standard practice in most companies to either read the source code of open-source stuff before deploying it to production Eh, no.

At several points real world scenarios are described, so just skim ahead to those. Users could end up seeing private information in each others' accounts, for example.

That would have meant everyone would've been stuck with SQLite3's quirks forever. It may be good but it's not that good!

[2, 1] in [[1,2], [2, 1], [3, 5]] Does it handle this? CoffeeScript was a bit too close to JS to get this correct.

Now I really hope that Spartan can implement WebSQL as well... Sounds unlikely given that the standard was superseded by IndexedDB. http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webdatabase/websql-in... Most brows

I would think it did? ext4 is the most deployed when you don't need extra features, because it's very stable, seamless upgrading from ext3, universaly GRUB support, and has little surprises and is actually pretty fast. ReiserFS is

I literally don't know anyone that has either a Chromecast, a Roku, or an Apple TV. I watch Netflix via the Wii (or the PC, which is nowhere near a TV).

I can play six with my keyboard too! USB keyboards are limited to 6-key rollover. Using a PS/2 connector will fix that. http://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/nydvp/why_does_usb...

So just point out where it's wrong, instead of making a fairly disingenuous appeal to non-authority or however you want to call it?

Notice that this is a feature you have to turn on (try it!). Can you use an Android phone without this? AFAIK that's essentially impossible without very deep technical knowledge.

That's specifically limited to Google services. It says nothing whatsoever about the rest of the internet! Also note that for Google services there's no point in collecting that data because Google already has it.

I don't see any reason to doubt anything or for that matter give anyone "the benefit". Firefox is still open source, unlike IE, Safari and Chrome, so just look.

Chrome was also an insurance policy. You can't buy away Google being the default search engine in Chrome. Imagine pre-Chrome browser marketshares and imagine the impact the Firefox-Yahoo deal would have had.

I think the point is more that the contract with Yahoo in the USA doesn't prevent Mozilla from making deals with smaller[1] players elsewhere (which they've been doing). [1] Smaller than Google. The search box isn't given awa

with no indication of requiring royalty Irrelevant. Did they give a promise not to do so? If not, using that API would be commercial suicide.

But as pointed out in other comments, it looks like SuperFish does install the extra cert in Firefox's database too, but only after a restart.

But webapps still work fine on Windows, and they'll work on iOS and Android, too.

One thing they've gotten better at is exactly that: it's no longer "their" ecosystem. They're much more heavily into standard HTML5 now than Google, for example. They don't need people to build for their ecos

If I base myself on that statement to decide that there's no need to remove the software, then get my bank account emptied, won't that backfire pretty hard on them?

Your response has absolutely nothing to do with the point the parent poster makes and completely and utterly misses the point. He is arguing that "percentage of winning" is not linearly related to "pawn or equivalent advantag

I'm not sure how you can use Chrome with a lot of tabs anyway. Maybe with a mouse with a DPI switch so you can hit the few pixes they size down to if you have 20+?

1) What do you do to make "Firefox memory goes too high" 2) What does about:crashes say for the crashes you get? Are those known bugs?

Plus Firefox crashing is a huge downside. How do you get Firefox to crash? What does about:crashes say? Did you report the bug?

The Firefox Devtools team regularly probes the webdev community on the features they need - make sure you let them know (and don't be surprised if they're in Aurora already).

I'm not sure how you get Firefox to use more memory than Chrome. Like literally, I wouldn't manage it even if I tried. (Cheating by installing extensions notwithstanding) I left Chrome open overnight and by the time I came back it
