I run firefox on a quite memory constrained system (1G). I've noticed it has improved recently.

Most of the interesting problems are no longer "embarrassingly parallel". All the rest of them, if we care about getting them solved faster, we'll throw hardware at them to the degree we care about getting the result faster.

You yeard it here first! Predicting the weather is no longer interesting.

Ah fair enough. I'm not normally one for grammar-nazism and related things, but it just put me in mind of Vinnie Jones and people of his ilk. The juxtaposition of that and Winnie the Pooh was an entertaining mental image :)

I'm sure you are.

Vinnie the Pooh

That's Winnie's cousin who instead of hailing from the 100 Acre Wood is from the Isle a' Dogs in London innit mate

good dialog,

Well, they totally failed on that count.

Women are not paid less if they are doing the same jobs and spending the same time doing them as men do, otherwise businesses would only hire women if they could actually pay them less to do the same exact shit.

The hiring decisions are not mae by the company but by inividuals employed by the company. You are assuming that (a) people doing the hiring are rational and (b) there's some sort of feedback mechanism where better hiring decisions lead to better pay for the person making the decision.

One was competent (but a manly lumber dyke)

Translation: I'm jealous because she could bouth out code and out benchpress me.

Firefox barely has 25% market share in the browser area.

It's an unusual luxury that you can ignore 25% of your customers.

No, there is plenty of data to show what would and would not work, pointing out the obvious design failure is not 2nd guessing.

Ah we have word from the team at the ESA! I mean you must have been. You know all the tradeoffs they made and why and so youre fully informed to make such a bold statement. Or you're an unqualified ranter who likes shitting on the awesome achievements on the internet to eke out a tiny bit of meaning from your pathetic existence.

You mean the Europe that failed at the last, critical moment after 10 years?

Landing on a coment and doing 60 hours of science is not failing, you moron.

There is something strange. Voyager's RTG seems to have been more efficient (37.7kg for 150W output) than Curiosity's one.

The Curiosity one doesn't produce any waste heat most of the time: the heat is used to keep the rover warm. I think they needed a lot of heat for that, so there's no need to maximise the electrical conversion efficiency.

Chrome, Safari, IE11/10/8 even IE6 displays my website properly.

My guess is you've misinterpreted the standard and it's just luck it works on the others. No surprise that it will work on all webkit browsers if it works on any at all. Either that or you've found a bug. Did you file a report?

it is the last coffin in the nail for me in what respects firefox.

It's absoloutely reprehensible that Mozilla need to pay their staff. I cannot think of anything worse.

Dickheads.

Worse.

I thought mozilla was not for profit, so who's getting the money ?

Not for profit means "not for profit", not "no revenue". There's still programmers to employ, accounts to be done, servers to be paid for etc etc.
