If you think Pale moon has greater security than firefox you are a drooler.
It has a better adblock than regular firefox, which is all I meant. Less chance of malware hitting your system.

It was solved in the 80s and then crapped on in the 90s in the name of making ever-cheaper disposable printers for the purpose of selling million-dollar ink cartridges and print heads.
Why would we need another firefox-based browser designed for security? I thought that's what pale moon was. In the bargain you get 64-bit builds.
Their initial page load is only about ten times as long as Google. I can't imagine why I've never heard of them before, and expect to never hear of them again.
You pay US income tax, right?
As little as possible, and only because men with guns will come to incarcerate you if you don't give them more money to hire more men with guns. Go back and re-read my comment until enlightenment reaches you.
Is that still true in Nvidia's case? I originally bought an Nvidia card because of the supposed Linux-friendliness, but it's been giving me trouble.
Sorry to hear that, try another driver, an older one if necessary. I have a multitude of nVidia cards, and they all work right if you pin down the right driver. I have 6150 LE onboard in nForce-chipset boards, I have a Quadro 295 NVS in an HP C2D I just bought, might upgrade it to a C2Q for $50, really slick low-power setup there with support for CUDA 6.5 anyway, not too bad. 240GT, 450GTS OC, 750 Ti. Seriously all working great under Linux, but seriously none of them using the suggested driver.
I keep hearing stories about nVidia driver being hard to install manually but I'm doing Linux From Scratch right now (I'm currently starting over after a successful LFS 7.7 build now that I'm educated, and combining CLFS 3 and LFS 7.7 along with building with GCC 5.1 and multilib glibc 2.21, libressl, compiz...) and I've found that the nVidia driver still installs flawlessly on LFS just like it did on say Slack back when the nvidia driver was new. But like I said, you have to go driver hunting. For example the driver which comes with CUDA 6.5 won't build with a modern kernel and/or toolchain, so I had to hunt up a different driver (340.76) to support my NVS 295. And when I got my spanking new 240GT, it wasn't even officially supported by the driver yet but being 3/4 of a 250GTS it did actually work... as long as I installed the next-to-newest driver, and not the very newest one. Then another version or two later they added explicit support for my card.
On the other hand, I tend to try an ATI card every two or three GPUs, and I am always pissed off. I bought a gateway netbook with R690M chipset and that still isn't properly supported several years later. fglrx never supported it (said it was "too old") and radeon still trashes the display when used.
If you want proper Linux support, you're better off with nVidia. If you want open-source driver support for a moderately new card, you may be better off with ATI, but it depends on the specific GPU. If you want open-source driver support for a very new card, that's pretty much just Intel anyway.
Typical zealot. I use whatever tool is best for the job, be it AMD or Intel.
History has shown that, like Microsoft, if you give Intel money they will use it for evil. Specifically, it will fund illegal anticompetitive behavior that retards progress in computing.
If you're happy with that, keep giving Intel money. But keep in mind that yes, it really does make you an asshole when you give known assholes money on purpose.
This is someone's cue, apparently mine, to mention Murphy's Law, since this is to what it originally applied. The term was coined after Murphy incorrectly connected a wiring harness. Since the same connectors were used and in the same genders in two places on the harness, it was possible to connect it wrong, and therefore he did. The rest is history.
If it can be installed wrong, then the installer sucks (software) or the hardware design sucks (hardware).
Do we really need to see an article from MojoKid every day to drive traffic to his site?
The answer depends on how that question is interpreted. No, we don't need to see such an article. Yes, such an article is necessary to drive traffic to said site, if that's your goal anyway.
Then I guess we'll never know.
It looks like the answer is "it's always a pain in the asshole" which is why OSM sucks so bad. I have a dozen hobbies already. Make it easy to add map data or GTFO. Use a typical web-of-trust model to determine which map data gets published automatically.
Does the thruster operate only in a vacuum ?
What does that have to do with anything? Besides absolutely nothing?
Are you saying the writer and director of the original movie doesn't understand his own writing and direction for his own movie? That other people know the movie better than that guy?
That's a stupid thing to say, and you are a stupid person for saying it. I'm saying that this doesn't necessarily result in something you'd want to watch. Someone else might well do a better job with the franchise. There's no reason to believe otherwise.
Wait, you mean you will not buy a movie that you otherwise would have just because there are significant female characters in it?
No one is impressed by disingenuous bullshit like that question, you can do better, I've seen you.
I will not buy a movie that I might otherwise have bought if I suspect that the plot has been tampered with to make it more PC.
4k capable small form factor PCs cost more than $100 and 4k hdmi is even more rare. Eventually this will change, but probably not until Christmas 2016 if you want to wait. Meanwhile you can buy a smart tv and use the 4k smart stuff now and buy the SFF box next year and hook it to a 4k input.
How many of those 4k smart tvs actually have 4k output from their internal smartass? And when they do, how often is it actually any better than upscaled 1080p? And how many people who are buying 4k TVs can't afford a SFF PC over $100?
So then it could not have possibly have been "bait and switch" because you weren't going to go see the movie anyway.
Ah, but I might have just bought it sight-unseen. I do that sometimes. Now I know better. Will still watch it on Netflix, though.
