Yeah, I'll be using the extended support version until they stop supporting it but I honestly see not much reason to use Firefox after the extensions are crippled to be no better than Chrome ones. At that point, even being marginally quicker gives me little reason to use Firefox.

Doesn't a CD-R cost like 50 cents? Is recording a cassette really cheaper than burning a CD?

Even for those there exists these cassette adapters to serve as AUX-IN

There are even Bluetooth ones: https://www.amazon.ca/Audio-Ca...

2015 actually delivered an exception to the mediocre Nexus phone rule with the Nexus 6p. But that's only viable if you want a large-class phone. The Nexus 5x certainly falls into the suck category.

Actually it's because Firefox is doing so badly in the security front that they're not bothering: https://it.slashdot.org/story/...


I'm typing this from Firefox but it's truly sad how Mozilla is caught up with things that are ultimately worthless (Firefox OS) instead of working on their core competency (or "competency").

Would be pretty much impossible since any sort of instantaneous action at a distance implies breaking cause and effect. The speed of light isn't so much the speed limit of light but rather the speed of "causality".

It's astounding how his predictions continue to be verified to incredible precision a hundred years later even as we _know_ there's something in there missing at the tiniest scales.


So score one for the ability to start "looking" at the universe with what could be described as a new wavelength, but it's too bad there's no new theories that have to be made to describe a discrepancy.

I agree, just did the check and the first two characters were "pa" which is obviously the throwaway "password" I used before.


I have 2FA enabled so my actual gmail account is pretty safe I'd think.

There's a called YesScript that lets you do that in Firefox. Extensions is still the reason why I use Firefox/Pale Moon.

If you don't like Australis, there's an extension to make Firefox look like classic. If you think the Australis buttons are too large (like me) then you can install an extension to make them smaller.

Unless you haven't used Firefox for a while, it's been noticeably quicker to load than Chrome for some while now. Chrome invariably uses more RAM ,takes longer to start up and load pages although it has faster javascript and is unlikely to "stutter" because it's process-per-tab.


Something of a trade-off in any case.

Well, that depends on whether it's a "first generation" star that began as just hydrogen or a second,third,fourth,etc. "generation" star that uses the gas from a previous star's supernova gas cloud thus incorporating some of the elements created during said supernova.

The Sun is still mostly hydrogen and helium but there are trrace amounts of other elements: http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr162/lect/sun/composition.html

Since the Earth has elements that aren't hydrogen and helium, we know our Sun isn't a "first generation".

Regular star fuel is hydrogen (and helium very late) which undergoes fusion.

When this fuel is exhausted, the star collapses under its own gravity. This can be extremely sudden (even in human terms).

The collapse can only go so far before the star is compressed to its limit. Where this limit is depends on how massive the star is. Unless the star is massive enough to crush right into a black hole, the collapse will also stop suddenly and "bounce back" as the core instantly reheats from the compression. This is the supernova explosion as all the stuff that normally wouldn't fuse goes and fuses anyway (this is where elements past iron come from).

Modern Plasmas last 100,000 hours just like LEDs (http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/TC-P65ST60)

Are the numbers from this article just pulled out of a hat?
