Thank God, as incompetent as Mozilla's management appears, they're still not that stupid.

1) You don't "ask" a child molester to leave the kids alone. MS obviously wants more of a presence in the internet niche of the industry. They've allowed IE to become irrelevant for at least since 2009. They've wasted a ton of money on Edge's development, and MS needs something to make Windows 10 look like its a winner. Its a cheap way for MS to get new Windows 10 users to take a look at their new web browser, and its not like MS makes it impossible to go back to making chrome or an inferior 3rd party browser the default again.

2) Speaking as an actual firefox user, for some inexplicable reason, the CEO of firefox insists on releasing notably inferior web browsers from its previous versions at the beginning of 2015!!! They are slower than the firefox versions from the start of the year, and the older firefox versions were still noticeably slower than the competition. The only reason why the older versions were tolerable was that they weren't horribly slow like your current product! Now I frequently get odd moments when firefox seems to need to hit up the CPU, without browsing activity, and because the firefox code has such poorly implemented threading, the browser will seize up while waiting for firefox to resolve its background knitting! And that's on machines with an i7 desktop CPU, and 16GB of RAM!

3) Its a sign of extreme cluelessness when Beard thinks he can deflect from his failure as a CEO, and blame Microsoft for his incompetence. This isn't 2003; no one thinks of MS as the evil empire anymore; more like the asshole grandpa who still doesn't need a bedpan. How about securing patrons or a financing model after Google decided not to give you a free lunch anymore? How about not releasing new versions with new features that denigrate what little positive opinion firefox has left with its users?!?! Your CTO(?) had the right idea when he suggested chucking non-webkit code and starting from scratch. It sounds like unthinkable refactoring that would leave firefox dead in the water for a year, but at least you would retain your current user base!!! Instead of trying to build a McMansion on top of a crumbling foundation.

4) Since he doesn't code, the only constructive thing Beard can do at this point, is try to help find a CEO less incompetent than he is (preferably with a development background), or at least put a deadline on your resignation within 6 months, in order to force the board to find a replacement.

Yup, I'm glad you see what its about. The Democrats don't need a trojan horse for the 2016 general election.

With regard to your comment, you are a fucking moron. Consensual sex between two legal adults = sexual predator??? Also, private corporations cannot convict and imprison an employee. CEO's don't even necessarily lose their job when they violate corporate bylaws, if he/she properly fixed the board. Sexual harrassment suits are settled in CIVIL court; no jail time. And finally, this is slashdot. You're not inciting outrage from the female community, because its miniscule in size. You're just demonstrating your cluelessness.

Actually, I'm guessing Hilary did the private email setup to conceal her communications vis a vis her husband cutting deals for his foundation, and what she directed state department personnel to do afterwards. If she "really" was a smart woman with a lot of experience dealing with scandals, she wouldn't have been running a private email server at her home. It alone should be a strike against voting for her as POTUS; the problem is we don't know who's going to roll out of the Republican clown car for the general election.

What deletions? Its all backed up on NSA harddrives; everyone knows this. The NSA has no methods to hide, in this case. There isn't going to be any felony prosecution for hiding email, or for Benghazi. What I'm waiting for is a Hilary quid pro quo for her globe trotting, schmoozing husband.

Bahahahahahahahahahahhahaahhahahahahahahh *choke* *wheeze* *giggle*

That's precious. There's no way Sanders wins the Democrat nomination for POTUS, even if Hillary gets knocked out of the race. The Powers That Be would smother Sanders with campaign spending against him before that point.

You're an idiot. GWB was warned in august in the National Security briefing. He decided to ignore the memo.

You're an idiot. The answer is "sequestration".

No one with an ounce of common sense gives a rat fuck about Libya. Foreign service personnel die all the time on the job; just like soldiers do in a war zone.

No, the time bomb I'm looking for is if Hilary did a quid pro quo on behalf of her schmoozing, globe-trotting husband.

I'm sick of seeing Hilary as an election trojan horse for the Democrats. I'll be glad if the DoJ launches an investigation on emailgate. If they find something that kills her candidacy, best do it before the Democrat National Convention. If not, there's no chance any Republican in the clown car will beat Hilary.

Doctors are expected to understand confidentiality. Now they just can't provide information on their "triage evaluation" on a specific patient. That triage secrecy would only last for a week tops; the surgery in most cases would be complete by then. We're just trying to prevent "gaming" the system by avoiding low survival percentage patients before a surgeon commits to a patient. Once they're "locked in", they can talk to the triage doctor as much as they like.

Tier the settlement payouts. The higher win percentage won't matter if payouts are "egregiously" lower than what could be obtained in court.

The result of "Payment for each Service" rather than "Payment for Outcomes". Standardize on what level of hopelessness the insurance company aren't required to pay, and doctors will cease to prescribe "Hail Mary's".

It doesn't matter. The metrics/system will be determined by the state's medical board, based on national research by statisticians & epidemiologists. The important thing is to prevent hospital managers and surgeons from "gaming" the system.

1) Have a different doctor triage the patient, standardize the criteria, keep the evaluation secret. Strip privileges from doctor that leaks evaluations, and/or fine hospitals for staff caught revealing evaluations.
2) Initially round robin assign the patient to the surgeon pool. If the surgeon declines the patient, keep going to the "pool". If all available surgeons reject patient, null the evaluation value, randomly assign to available surgeon. Add death panel criteria to reject operating on patient.
3) Change the formula to give "more points" to more difficult surgeries.
4) The end result should focus on "doctors that lose the most patients that should "survive" the operation". Add extra penalty points for medical inquests (triggered by lawsuit) that determine the doctor/staff goofed for the final weighted score.
5) Optionally allow publicly available tiered ratings.
