Just use Firefox with browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction = 0?

Dip ATMs (where you insert your card then pull it out) wouldn't have any trouble with chips either. I can see why it'd be an issue with swipe ATMs though. I still think ATMs that eat your card up are terrible.

What possible use case exists for that ability? The card's generally blocked after a set number of incorrect attempts anyway, so it's not as if it could be used anywhere else. ATMs that keep your card for the duration of the transaction on

I believe this is a US-only problem. I haven't seen that sort of ATM in the last ten years where I'm from (India), and I was pretty shocked to see them in the US.

And even on 64-bit Windows, 32-bit Firefox will get the full 4 GB of address space.

I don't use Chrome at all, and don't even have it installed on most of my OS installs. I have Firefox everywhere though, and I'm pretty happy with IE and Safari respectively as backup browsers.

Chrome is closed source.

How would a client-side application access the Facebook API if it didn't distribute the API key?

AMO auto-bumps versions for addons that pass through automated checks.

What do you consider as poor social skills, if I may ask? I spent most of my time in high school behind the computer, and never played sports (I find sports not mentally stimulating enough relative to the effort). I'm pretty introverted, do

I find it hard to believe Valve has any debt whatsoever.

Except you need blades to shave -- most hats have no effect on gameplay.

You mentioned "shareholders". Think about who owns Valve -- I understand Gabe owns 100% of the company.

Thanks, I didn't know about that.

What about people who don't like or use the Gmail web UI (I use it over IMAP) but would still like to use Google Talk to stay in touch with friends? Is my only option to use third-party clients? I like Google Talk but dislike Gmail, and tyi

Did you just compare an unoriginal ripoff of five-year-old Flash games to a deservedly legendary classic?

Firefox extensions have exactly the same amount of power as Firefox itself.

Privacy. I don't think revenue is a factor, since it's probably hooked up to the address bar search too.

Didn't you also bring that upon yourself by buying a product from that particular vendor (Apple) as opposed to any other? Upgrade treadmills and forced obsolescence are always a risk with software, and users need to learn to account for it.

...and possibly include a commitment so that you can take credit for it after it's fixed? :)

> Wouldn't EKE require the other computer you're syncing to to be online? It would, yes. With Firefox Sync you have two choices, either exchange keys or type in the key. I carry the key around in my wallet, so I don't think that's a big

Well, if you actually encrypted data in a form that only the user could decrypt before uploading it to the server, you could simply hand that over to law enforcement in good faith and they wouldn't be able to do anything. I am a Dropbox use

Because every release of Firefox could potentially break APIs.

http://www.1800funjump.com seems to have the same pricing and schedule, and an AFF for $999, so I'm guessing that's the one. A bunch of friends and I were planning to go there for a jump, actually.

Sure, but the world would have been a better place had Go not existed and Rust had all the limelight.

Tons of functions in most imperative languages are structured in an early-return-on-error style, with exceptions simply being a special case of that. That is neither novel nor uncommon.

The set of problems for which Go is the best programming language to use is empty, simply because Rust exists. Rust has non-nullability, immutable shared state...
