Are you kidding me?! Surface is revolutionary! Its like a laptop, but the screen is where the keyboard goes and vice verse, and you use it the other way around! Then instead of a touchpad you just smear your fingers all over the screen and, if you are lucky, it doesn't tip over - Brilliant! Its like an ipad but without all the apps and fanboism, no wait... Its like a tablet for people that don't like tablets, wait...nobody likes tablets.

Hardly! Most addons default to compatible now. Those that cannot, simply set the max version to 50. The UI hasn't changed significantly since 4.0

It funny you say that, because the new rapid release cycle allows for twice as much bug finding/fixing time compared to the old way

ummm that wouldn't be implemented until at least firefox 18, so it won't be bothering you for another 6 months or so unless you are running on the beta channel - in which case it serves you right, but you'll have the chance to do something about it before it is too late

From the mozilla javascript blog:

Firefox 16 will be the first version to support incremental garbage collection. This is a major feature, over a year in the making, that makes Firefox smoother and less laggy. With incremental GC, Firefox responds more quickly to mouse clicks and key presses. Animations and games will also draw more smoothly.

If I lend you my gun and I find out you shot somebody with it, it is my moral responsibility to take it away from you (and report you, etc). Likewise, if I lend you my 3d printer and I find out you have been making illegal/unregistered firearms with it, the same responsibility applies

He mentions in TFA that your comments are stored on the server you are posting to. If that is the case then how can I control who sees what I write on someone elses profile? Can I still edit/delete my own comments?

Yea, a work of art, like picaso. That doesn't make it user friendly. The fact that you said linux is better pretty much sums it all up - it is good but not the best on the market

what happened to the days when 2.0 meant that it was either a complete rewrite or it had significant changes that made it incompatible with 1.x and had undergone extensive testing to qualify it as a "stable" release?
