The opening scene of Woody Allen's 1979 movie Manhattan featured a couple in a convertible driving by. Unfortunately, the woman in the car was NOT the man's wife and the two of them were in the theater together when that scene played on the big screen! Lots of hilarity ensued...
Thank you! I was going to post something along these lines but wanted to see if anyone else did too. There was a time nearly every single automobile and motorcycle dealership ran Pick/OS to maintain their inventory and ordering systems! I don't know if this is still true.
I'm thinking it COULD be if the developer wanted to bother. Goanna is a fork of Gecko, and a lot of older Firefox and Seamonkey extensions work with it so it couldn't be THAT different...
I was all ready to make Pale Moon my ONLY browser until I discovered that it just plain SUCKS for streaming video sites. YouTube videos never start, and the developer stubbornly REFUSES to include the Widevine DRM extension essential for Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, etc.
So it remains an interesting curiosity and helpful for debugging web code, but useless as an "only browser" or "primary browser." Sad, because it has real potential.
Some people are "enraged" over just about ANYTHING! Sheesh! This is just a big "Nothingburger." Move along.
It's ALWAYS about eliminating redundancies. How stupid or naive do you have to be in order to believe otherwise???
Years ago the bulb on my Epson Scanner burnt out. Replacing a bulb should be a simple repair, right? No... there wasn't any way I could even figure out how to open the unit to get to the bulb to replace it. Searching around I found a local Epson repair center and what they wanted to replace the bulb was TWICE the price of just buying a new scanner!!
I was part of a group that the company used to explore the possibility of people returning to the office full time. I was working three days a week in the office, two days a week from home. Unfortunately, that all changed in December when I was struck by a truck while riding my motorcycle back from lunch. Since then, I've been working from home full time till my leg is fully healed.
...that the United States was founded by Puritans. After over 200 years, very little has changed.
I was hoping the number was "42"
This is an "hypothesis." I WISH people would learn the difference...
It was absolutely awesome. I enjoyed it far more than the anime trilogy on Netflix (that made no sense to me, and they really screwed up both Godzilla AND Ghidorah in that one). Also, saw Shin Godzilla when it was released here and thought that was awful too.
This is a surprise? They did the same thing YEARS ago when AT&T decided their 3G+ network was really 4G. Same ol' same ol' from two companies known for misleading their customers.
And anyone who disagrees with me is CLEARLY mistaken:
