That is a lot of money. What could they possibly be spending it on because it certainly isn't firefox. I mean... it is a nice browser... but.... 314 million?
I'm a little flabbergasted by these numbers.
Some people never learned the lessons of Dot Com 1.0. Remember when Eazel got $20 million worth of venture capital just to make a file manager for Gnome?
Aggregate historical data is better than nothing; but I'd just fire up Waze.
Google hasn't killed Waze off... yet.
So either Firefox continues to make it dead easy to change the default search engine to Google, or people will dump Firefox.
I have my doubts regarding whether most users will go to the trouble to change it. I'm always surprised to see how many people never bother to change their landing page or search engine, no matter what the browser is.
... who read the village's name as "Hogwarts"?
I'm going to bed now.
Hopefully with a leggy woman.
Yeah, that silly statement in the summary stood out like a sore thumb.
(As does my bad metaphor)
it seems like more and more old people are dying in hang gliding accidents these days.
What orifice did you pull that from? He died from esophageal cancer.
Dice's finances are currently taking a hit, so they've asked Slashdot editors to conserve "R"s.
Employees having been whining about their boss' incompetence since the beginning of time
This is true. However sometimes a boss really is incompetent.
When you have to find ways to work around your boss to actually get your work done, it's probably a good indicator that your boss doesn't know what he's doing.
"Dark matter" and "dark energy" at least make some intuitive sense - we've postulated they exist, but have been unable to observe them. But, yeah, "dark magma"? We can see the magma just fine, and we know exactly where these hot spots are - we just don't completely understand why.
I guess next time I see a friend somewhere unexpected, I should refer to him as my "dark buddy".
I’ve never heard of such a brutal and shocking injustice that I cared so little about!
Rumour has it that the flooded basement rooms, which are currently inaccessible, house some strange and dark secrets.
Fortunately Gandalf killed that Balrog - so it's all good.
Will be built by Putin across Ukraine.
With his bare hands, while riding on a bear.
Curiously no one in germany talks about those people when it comes to the wall falling.
I lived in Germany as a kid (army brat), and frankly I wouldn't expect them to give any credit to any outsiders - deserved or not. Back in the 1970s it seemed pretty obvious many/most Germans highly resented the presence of American and British forces in Berlin as well as all the American bases around the country, back when the wall still stood. I suspect that resentment would overshadow most everything else.
... left-leaning I dividuals.
Hmm... looks like the "n" key in my iPad is broken.
Never ask two questions in a business letter. The reply will discuss the one you are least interested, and say nothing about the other.
