as long as long as the plutocrats and their champagne caviar cocktails arrive safely. Somehow I think Marketing and Legal will want to rework that presentation. And BTW, I'm pretty sure Pedestrians (in the US) have right of way in just about every situation. So deliberately programming the car to violate that is saying you don't care what harm you do. Legal may not be happy with that either.

Comment I stopped getting FF notices (Score 1) 113

I mostly like FF design and functionality. But I am sick to death of the rapid point releases. Every few weeks, one more update, one more version number, one more download and install. Tried just going to reminder status, until that was hounding me to distraction too. I finally turned it all off. I still remember to check for updates, but I do it on my schedule, and only once per month or so.

I realize Mozilla can be bothered to do their own final quality checking until someone else finds it in the field, but I don't want to be part of the experiment. People say the XP model is better for everyone, but all it says to me is you want to be more like Microsoft. Welcome to Planet Beta Test

It wasn't until the early 90's that PC's actually became viable, somewhat decent systems (ie. cheap 386DX's)

I was running multi-user, multi-threaded, Cromix (Cromemco UNIX) on an 8-bit 4MHz Z-80 system back in the early 80s, when I was barely 20. One processor, three TTY terms, 10MB harddrive and a NEC Spinwriter were all we needed for a 12 man engineering office.

Them's the good old days, sonny!
