A lot of businesses do conferencing and desktop sharing through java applets so it's more likely companies will be running them than consumers.

As someone who developed Java for a few years, I never enabled applets. No one really develops applets.

Yeah but a lot of console games are more arcade-like and fast action rather than slow with strategy. That and a lot of people would still be thrilled to get 100 ms ping.

Seriously, who uses a reusable bag and doesn't wash it? You wouldn't (I hope) wear underwear forever without washing them so why would you do that with the thing that holds meats and veg?

Netbsd is a big gaming platform after all.

Possibly. I assume it would be a cost issue for you but people do build their own cars. They might not make their own windshield but a lot of manufacturers probably don't either.

None of those old single player games were designed for lag and the vast majority of people just don't have the net connection for it. There's a reason online streaming of games went no where, it sucks.

Maybe runover him with an electric car? He won't hear it coming!

The only way to ensure more of the population gets a degree is by lowering the bar. Face it, a lot of people aren't that smart especially if they went through mandatory schooling where you can't fail and they just slide you through.

Did you know mobile gaming is going to be bigger than everything? It's true, any day now. Everyone should be into it.

I'm not sure you can blame WebKit for JS issues unless it's tied directly to the Dom. But either way I left chrome because it is a bit shit actually. The two biggest things are how often tabs go sad faced and won't fix themselves on refresh and if something isn't perfect in the HTML it can render an obscene amount of elements trying to resolve it and performance is out the window. This has gone on for years and probably still does. So with that and being spied on it seemed going back to Firefox was the same choice. Firefox has been improving and chrome isn't really. It also still has some really dumb UI issues too.

It only simplifies things by adding something that should be in the core language anyway but that doesn't include jqueryui. Which shouldn't be core functionality nor is it that nice to use unless you want a cookie cutter site appearance. Your right in that many professions don't abuse JS but a lot of people do use it unnecessarily and often ruining performance.

Now it's all about bad devs working on a chrome monoculture. You get all the same problems plus a lack of privacy.

Neither to be honest but in this case I'll give the CEO my trust. By calling him out he'll have to make sure he's telling the truth or it could cause him serious problems. Where as nothing will happen to the journalist for lying.

As usual Clarkson was being a twat pushing his agenda rather than being truthful.
