I'm not sure which browser you're praising, since both have been able to do this for quite some time.

Yeah, it's been pretty good for science, actually. In addition to this new discovery, another one of these deep mines in the shield made for an excellent neutrino observatory.
Huh, I had no idea franchise laws like this existed.
I'm no supporter of laissez-faire capitalism, but it really seems like dealers should be able to get this protection via contractual stipulations rather than laws.
I'm pretty sure the GP was talking about Alot, the town in India. It should have read:
you will still have to deal with it, Alot.
Yeah. Deal with it.
all the functionality of all the versions of Windows, with no lacking features whatever
Look, I like Linux, and it has a lot of benefits that Windows doesn't have, but when you say that Linux has everything that Windows has, you make it clear that you're either:
Do you really want people to think those things about you? And do you think you're helping the Linux with an image like that?
You're looking through history for examples where humans have treated an entire race as slaves, and the best you can come up with is domesticated animals?
Boredom counts as an input.
There should have to be some test they would be capable of passing, first, and I don't mean Turing's test, which is grossly insufficient.
Perhaps the Voight-Kampff test?
Paper documents went out of vogue a long time ago. Your choice now is whether the digital documents are made private or public.
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Seriously?
Okay, here's what you were thinking:
"Duh! Obviously sleep deprivation is bad for children!"
But here's the full implication of your response:
"Duh! Anybody who doesn't know that 73% of 9-10 year olds and 80% of 13-14 year olds in the US are sleep deprived is a moron."
Measurements are important. That's what science is all about.
And that works reasonably well for popular open source projects, where volunteers can build new binaries to keep up with updated dependencies, but it's a real problem for closed-source projects.
Whether or not paving the way for closed-source projects on Linux is a good thing will depend on whom you ask, but I suspect that's one of the major motivations for this project.
Colour me curious. I've never met a programmer who's capable of writing an H.264 codec but still has the arrogance of a sophomore. Do you have a link to your project?
You know, I'd be perfectly happy if HTML supported COBOL. My problem with JavaScript isn't that it's a terrible language, it's that it's the only language.
I'd be much happier if HTML had a standard VM and a standard API, so that we could use whatever language we want.
HTML is a software platform now, and being stuck with one programming language is stifling. Can you imagine if we were only allowed to use one language when writing Windows/Linux/Mac software?
Get back to us when you've written a GPU-powered database.
The Wayland devs were definitely a little too obscure whenever the issue of remoting came up. They kept saying that remoting was out of scope with regard to Wayland, and technically, they were right, but it lead to a lot of misunderstandings.
Imagine if somebody asked "Does the Linux kernel support email?" Of course it doesn't; email is done way higher in the stack. There's not a single line of code in the Linux kernel that has anything to do with email. But you would be giving people the wrong impression if you said "Linux doesn't support email", and that's exactly what the Wayland devs were doing.
