After all these years, I too miss some of the features. Especially the tiles for specific persons were lovely. A combination of person specific notificatios, previews, and if I don't remember incorrectly, photos, was rather nifty.
Yeah, I can get a separate icon for my wife for opening Whatsapp conversation currently. And it shares the notifications with the Whatsapp process. Meh.
So the punchline is that since competition is not possible, it hasn't been stifled.
Why should it be "support" and not "be supporting," ?
I'm pretty sure the person cannot read, and missed the word "be" every time.
I drag the laptop around holding it from the top bezel. No laptop has ever failed me.
Nothing is free. Using tax revenue to undercut an entire industry that creates jobs doesn't really sit well. There is no free, everyone is paying for it
Wouldn't it make more sense to promote industries that produce actual productive work? Having an industry that takes money from people on top of the taxes just because they can doesn't really make sense. Especially, as noted here, the actual functionality still needs to exist in IRS. Having a pre-filled suggested form which you correct as needed would save everybody's time.
In Finland there's an app for emergency services. "The 112 Suomi application enables the automatic delivery of the caller's location information to the emergency service dispatcher (in Finland)."
And the app shows your coordinates, so you can tell them to the emergency services if there's no data connection available. Not quite as good as automatic location information sending built into the phone, but better than nothing.
I've been doing it for free until now.
Sure, but if the specs I found were accurate, Nokia 1020 had 2/3" sensor and iPhone 7 has 1/3" sensor. Of course both are a long way from DSLRs.
This may sound like the usual iHate, but having a single iPhone in an otherwise non-Apple household is a chore. Just having it sync media with the various other devices requires many extra steps not to mention installing iTunes, etc.
Yeah, there's now an iPhone in our house. So long sharing images via NFC or bluetooth to SO. A minor dissappointment. Nothing that can't be worked around, but since the capability exists on the phone, the walled garden is somewhat tangible.
it's not consensus, its *expert* consensus
Experts according to consensus. I rest my case.
Definition of expert : having, involving, or displaying special skill or knowledge derived from training or experience
Consensus not exactly mentioned in the definition
The Daily Mail is the exactly opposite of what you describe. A typical story starts with several paragraphs of reaction and outrage, before right at the end on page 7 mentioning the facts.
I came here to post this. This is exactly my experience with Daily Mail. The articles (and I am using the word loosely) start with pure distilled lying shit, and IF you happen to read the end, there is (if they lied enough) their 'get out of jail' card where they briefly state what actually happened (quite contrary to what they wrote above), so they can't be sued.
Extensions are the reason Firefox is popular with me. I'm happy to have any suggestions for improvements of the list.
My favorite: Tree Style Tab ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-... ).
Just out of curiousity, what if I told you that 1 time in 10,000 the brand name will make the difference over the generic?
"Source please"
The same goes for memory usage. I wouldn't say that Chrome is as much of a winner here, but it isn't unusual for me to look at top or some other process manager and seeing Firefox with many gigabytes of resident memory. Yeah, RAM is "cheap" these days, but that doesn't mean I want it to be wasted. Browsing Slashdot and a few other web sites shouldn't lead to gigabyte after gigabyte of memory being consumed!
At least on Windows, the memory and CPU usage is somewhat difficult to compare due to the Chrome being in lots of smallish chunks, but based on my own anecdotal experience, Chrome keeps chugging quite a bit of memory and plenty of CPU per process after a while, so when you count all the processes together, Firefox is often using less CPU and about the same amount of memory than Chrome. I do use the Chrome dev tools more (better source view), but closing them does not seem to help at all.
