2005: it is ridiculous to call a $350 GPU "midrange".

Yes, I would and would not ;-) The technology in use is called XPFE. For a full (graphical) overview, see http://mb.eschew.org/1 It is different sorts of XML (XBL, XUL, RDF, DTD) controlled via Javascript and styled by CSS

Thunderbird is an XML+CSS+Javascript app. Just like Electron (well, Electron is not XML).

How would anyone post such a picture of himself? https://phylogenyexplorerproject.com/images/aron.png Too bad, one has to sign up, otherwise I'd be very interested in such a interactive document. EDIT: Ah, it&#x27

Sure. tl;dr: As soon as the "digital domain" steps into the "physical domain", you can not guarantee a "side effects" free system. Let's start with a real-life example: I have a Macbook from 2006, which ha

You don't understand the concept of "race condition"?

You mean like those people, who argue, that: "Everything is a sequence of Zeroes and Ones, therefore the signal either gets transmitted or not !", while totally leaving out the fact, that this digital signal material izes in t

Arghl! How do I get rid of that horrible techno music, after I closed all the pop-unders?

Fuck adults, who even remotely come up with such ideas. They (also) are our enemies!

I wonder, why not a single word has been spoken about Keepass/X, which is available on all platforms (not sure about iOS, though), can work with UbiKeys, afaik, has huge im- and export support and is free from any corporate interests.

That's because it's brand new tech. I assume, that the Chinese, who came up with Arduino boards, that cost USD1.99 will also create knock-offs of these and prices will fall extremley.

You are right. But I remember, that I had read a similar story, a week, or two, ago and the topic was, that the police found out about the killer in a murder case, by listening to Echo recordings from the kitchen. I doubt, that this would b

Didn't Amazon tell it's customers, that Alexa constantly records locally, but only sends the words after the "Alexa" magic, including 6 seconds before and 6 seconds after it, to the servers?

While I agree, that macOS is a UNIX, backup tends to be a very sensitive form of software (think scalpell, not hammer) and I would not dare to use it on a platform without certification by its vendor (in this case an "OK" by the

I am actually only interested in scriptable XML technologies, so pretty much like Mozilla's XPFE (XUL) was.

That is, what I guess, though I have no numbers. That dot-matrix ribbon ink is cheaper than toner. Also, I'd like to have a A3 sized, colored dot matrix printer. That as Laser would be extremly expensive.
387.
by zmix 8y ago
Yes, I understand. InkJets bring in the money via the ink and also, the market for dot-matrix must now be smaller, than it was, when that printing technique was the only affordable on the market.

So, lots of opinions and critics. But: Did you donate? I did :-) And I did it because of the donation matching being done. This way my donation results in 50USD instead of 25USD.

And that is the main reason, IMO. Mozilla Inc. never wanted to do more with it.

Just a few days ago, I realized, the best thing to update somebody else's code, would be to print it out and take it to bed with me, so I can read the source without starring into that lamp (the monitor). I also could make notes with a
