Comment Re:Version 3.12.123.56 v2.2 versus Version 25 (Score 1) 173

I really like to just glance at a version number and see what it is.

And how much information does this single number provide?

What's wrong with the commonly accepted scheme of <major>.<minor>.<patch> where:
<patch> changed - bug and/or security fixes
<minor> changed - some added features and/or minor UI changes
<major> changed - significant changes that may cause compatibility and/or workflow issues.

eh?

They will also reject any password that contains your name or email address (before the @ part).

For example, if your name is Bob or your email is bob@example.com, then apparently the password asdFAS$@#42Dsd53$*jds22bob,"sK!SsdF$5+x is not considered secure. Idiots.

From TFA:

a warning sign behind the cashier informed him that the store “reserves the right to limit the daily amount of prepaid card purchases and has an obligation to report excessive transactions to the authorities.”

If that is not a sign of a totalitarian state, I don't know what is.

Is it fair to blame Firefox for an addon that is abandon-ware?

Yes, it is, because the (salaried) FF developers keep removing useful features under the impression that some (unpaid) extension writers will re-implement them and provide permanent support .
