Traffic Stops =/= Speeding Tickets These are two very different metrics and I'd be interested to see what a proper comparison actually looks like here. As it's currently presented, this feels kind of dishonest. Rather than co

If you have been given the guilty verdict, then you have been proven guilty. Subsequent DNA testing in this instance would be to exonerate this verdict. So innocent until proven guilty, then once proven guilty, it becomes guilty until pro

If Mozilla disappeared then I don't think that would imply the death of Firefox, I suspect there is enough motivation in the community to support a "successor" fork to fill the vacuum. I'm sure the transition would be pr
