Yeah I definitely have no problem helping someone, as long as it doesn't take away time for me to do my job.

I have a burning curiosity to know if there are any out there who are not very competitive (such as myself) who don't mind sharing and then get treated as a fool because I share knowledge so freely? It doesn't really bother me sin

Obviously, it could be useful if Android finds its way onto more "desktop-like" devices, with keyboards, mice, large displays, etc.

Yes I agree, his benchmarks seem like mostly fluff to me.

I'm not sure, but I used to run the Nightly build on all of my Windows machines in order to use 64-bit Firefox and anecdotally Waterfox does "feel" quite a bit faster. I definitely notice fewer pauses.

I think the idea of an HTML5 runtime that integrates well with an OS is a great and powerful concept. However I'm not certain about an entire OS being restricted to that runtime - at the end of day, tricky situations arise and in those

Does this also allow us to assume that any unique properties that we observe from this quasi-particle will have a good chance of being applicable to an actual particle, and thus help us discover the first actual Majorana particle?

Perhaps our problem on this planet is that there are just too many of us here.

I use this occasionally, it works okay. I have to say though, with the introduction of the GGC, and all of the improvements to the JS runtime recently in Firefox, that it has gotten much faster. Electrolysis should bring "smoothness&qu

I disagree. The closer humans (preferably scientists themselves) are to scientific instruments, the more quickly observations can be made and new (even spontaneous) experiments be performed.

I'm actually quite surprised by this. I thought once the congressmen started complaining that it needed to be single contract[1] that NASA would go all Boeing. Good on them, I think they've struck the best balance they can do poli

I have developed software for generating legal documents. Believe me, legal documents have a much higher degree of ambiguity than most business processes.

I do both native development for windows and web development, and believe me, I'll take HTML/CSS/JS any day. IMO, the box model is extremely conducive to pushing you in the right direction for a clean layout, and maybe CSS is
