"[A] law in the country requires movies to not appear in home platforms for 36 months after their theatrical release" - customers want it now, not later, and they will probably get it now, or not at all. This kind of law ensures jobs for lawyers, though, I guess...

Hardware switches for turning things like GPS and WiFi off, too!

Some of those appliance switches are 'soft' switches, so not the same. If find switchless outlets disturbing.

As a dev: if I make it work in Firefox, it will likely work in all other browsers; if I make it work in Chrome, it might work in other browsers; and if I make it work in IE, it could work in other browsers. Lesson: using Firefox for dev reduces effort and widens your potential audience.

Rubber hose decryption, like they've used for centuries.

The nineties called: they want their internet banking login Java applets back.

The new Performance page will allow tech-savvy users to control how much RAM Firefox will be using. The more "content" processes Firefox will be allowed to use, the more responsive the browser will get, and the easier will be to handle tens or hundreds of tabs.

The downside is that more "content" processes means more RAM usage, but if users have RAM to spare, this shouldn't be a problem. It is a problem, though, on older systems. This is where the new Performance section comes to help, allowing users to put a muzzle on Firefox's unwieldy memory usage, preventing crashes or computer freezes.

I'd mod you up. I grew up with DST, and now have lived as much of my life without. I prefer DST.

I don't know where you're at, but no DOSA I've ever been in excludes alcohol. That just wouldn't fly.

A lot of people only smoke socially, so it's busier inside than you assume. Furthermore, people inside now have a choice not to sit in smoke.

I started smoking when I was performing in bars (musician). I stopped when smoking was banned inside bars. People can still smoke in the DOSA (Designated Outdoor Smoking Area).

There's nothing preventing you from running an agile project with a robust and complete design. Agility allows you to pivot if and when required.

The easiest way to think of agile projects is a series of really small waterfall-like mini-projects that deliver a working product at the end. As you complete each mini-project, your product comprises a larger set of features. When your feature set reaches MVP, you can release or continue iterating to complete more features, but you can feasibly release at the end of any mini-project.

All of the arguments I've seen around [Aa]gile have shown that both sides are unwilling to concede that they don't actually understand the others' points of view.

There is no project that can't benefit from the ideas agile project management introduces, and there's no rule that says you should throw away your working model to implement agile (although it is generally easier to start with a single team that does start from scratch).

ALL projects benefit from measuring the outcomes of small, incremental changes and continually finding and limiting waste.
