"Bimbo" is miles different in meaning and connotation from "Bozo". "Bimbo", as I'm sure you well know, is derogatory term used to denote sexual promiscuity. Calling Mayers a bad business woman is one thing, but casting doubt on her sexual practices is uncalled for and if anything is indicative of the gross chauvinism in the geek world.
And for the record I'm a guy.

I understand the "overrated" part, but why the "bimbo" part?

So because it has a Fisher-Price interface (something you personally don't like) makes it's success irrelevant? Just because it doesn't say Linux on the sticker makes it somehow not Linux?
That's exactly the sort of arrogance that has kept Linux away from the common users all these years.

Yes they are. Dinosauria is a clade under Reptilia. But they are more closely related to birds than they are to lizards, crocodiles and turtles (which we traditionally think of as reptiles).

That's the old theory. Now that their connection with birds is gained more ground, scientists believe that many (if not all) dinosaur species were warm blooded.

Why do birds descending from dinosaurs rule out reptiles descending from dinosaurs?
Given the huge amount of dinosaur races, wouldn't it be more likely that different dinosaur races evolved into different types of animals over time? This would make them equally related to dinosaurs, but not the same dinosaurs. For all we know their common ancestor could be a pre dinosaur animal even though both were dinosaurs at one point in time.
Actually dinosaurs (and birds now) are reptiles, but they're not lizards. While dinosaurs and lizards (and crocodilians) are descended from the same family tree, the dinosaurs and birds have very distinguishable anatomic differences. Dinos and birds have their legs stretched under them, while the rest of the reptiles have their legs stretched out of the sides.

Emscripten and New Javascript Engine Bring Unreal Engine To Firefox 124
MojoKid writes "There's no doubt that gaming on the Web has improved dramatically in recent years, but Mozilla believes it has developed new technology that will deliver a big leap in what browser-based gaming can become. The company developed a highly-optimized version of Javascript that's designed to 'supercharge' a game's code to deliver near-native performance. And now that innovation has enabled Mozilla to bring Epic's Unreal Engine 3 to the browser. As a sort of proof of concept, Mozilla debuted this BananaBread game demo that was built using WebGL, Emscripten, and the new JavaScript version called 'asm.js.' Mozilla says that it's working with the likes of EA, Disney, and ZeptoLab to optimize games for the mobile Web, as well."
Emscripten was previously used to port Doom to the browser.
