Mozilla's bugzilla installation has a feature where people can vote on bugs (i.e. express their interest in getting a bug fixed or feature implemented), and this feature of the bug tracker has been there for 15+ years.

I can't remember the last time a bug with lots of votes was resolved.

In fact, I can't remember the last time a bug that was filed by a non-developer got resolved.

Here is a list of currently open bugs with at least 100 votes.

(My memory might be playing tricks on me, but I remember there being much more votes on bugs. Thousands, at least. The current number one has 571 votes. Perhaps they did a user purge which wiped out votes? It would certainly explain why the list is dominated by WebExtensions bugs -- a recent feature.)

The news article is dated 2019-01-05.

I have no idea when this was submitted to the board, but judging from the board's previous cases, a turnaround time of two years is not uncommon.

The machine translation link was for some reason cut from the submission.

The correct link is here: https://translate.google.com/t...

"to drop an exploit" means "to make an exploit public", so that the exploit is now worthless (dropped) because whatever it was exploiting will be fixed.

Black hat lingo I guess.

Here's an example: https://www.zdnet.com/article/...

True. You should finally abolish that silliness and join the rest of us with sane electoral systems.

Huh? What? It's the party that decides how they elect their candidates. It does not require a constitutional amendment to change, does it?

Look, if you have an "Intel Inside" sticker on your laptop, everybody with half a brain will know you are employed by an intelligence agency and you store espionage data on your hard drive.

What did you think the sticker was for?

I live at 60 degrees north.

The summer time switch happens so that there is clear effect for maybe two weeks (i.e. there is sunlight longer), and once those two weeks have passed, it doesn't matter since the sun is up for so long anyway.

The increase in sunlight is really rapid, summer time or no summer time.

The first AMD chip with SSE2 support was the Athlon 64 'Clawhammer', released in late 2003.

This is a rerun, actually.

With reruns, the former TV watchers will feel right at home on the Internet too.

I was under the impression that GVFS had been deprecated for many many years already too. We're talking about 2010 or so.

Oh wait.

GnomeVFS was the original project, and got replaced with GVFS, it seems.

Of course you could!

Unless the question is locked or protected, anybody -- even unregistered users -- can post an answer.

What you couldn't do was post a comment to the question. But comments are not answers. You are not supposed to post answers as comments.

I'd prefer the compromise to be a 3:2 ratio. I'm just afraid the last laptop sold with that ratio was a Macintosh fifteen years ago.

4:3 is too high (for a laptop), 16:10 is passable, but 3:2 (15:10) would be about right.

'S' in Japanese means 'sadist'.

Like 'M' means 'masochist'.

So I presume it's a sadist mode or something.

Just my opinion. You don't have to call it retarded just because you disagree with it.

I like most ACs and would like them to be a bit more visible when worthwhile.

Yeah, that would be nice.

People sometimes (IMHO) abuse their mod points by modding an AC down to -1 despite no clear reason why the post should be -1.

-1 should be reserved for the GNAA spam and other disgusting things.

Just leave the things be at +0 even if you don't agree with them. Getting visibility as an AC is difficult thing: most people browse at +1 so the AC posts are hidden already. A negative score makes them even more hidden.
