APL is the strangest language I have ever encountered (college late 70s computer science), nothing like a traditional programming "language". I vaguely remember it being very cryptic and the idea was to write as much code as possible on a single line. One had to understand the parsing of the code, in addition to its cryptic use of symbols not represented in ascii/ebcdic.
Red Hat > Fedora > PCLinuxOS > Mint > Kubuntu Netbook > Mint LXDE, Mint XFCE > Debian LXDE
Left Red Hat/Fedora after many years due to updates breaking the system. Left Mint and Kubuntu after disliking the direction of Gnome and KDE. The Kubuntu was to tryout a netbook edition. Finally settled with Debian LXDE due to its the most lightweight, stripped down, simple version I can find.
I used Mozilla back when Mozilla was a browser.
Then Phoenix came along, and I started using that. Much more lightweight. At some point it got renamed to Firebird. Later on, it became Firefox. All was well. It was a great browser.
Then at some point in the past, I dunno, 3 years, these UI people (who probably know fuckall about software engineering) got their grubby fingers into the project and started rearranging the entire user interface. A user interface that had looked THE EXACT SAME FOR THE BETTER PART OF A DECADE.
Then I entered this painful stage of Firefox use, where every time I'd upgrade it, I'd have to fuck around trying to get it to look and act like the browser I'd been using for years. Eventually I realized that they were trying to make it look like Chrome. Then it started wanting me to upgrade it every week. Fuck that. I use a browser to do work, I know for a lot of people the browser is mostly a toy. But I need my tools to be stable, reliable, and behave consistently and predictably.
So I switched to Chrome. Haven't looked back.
hmmm. Exactly same here.
After a number of decimal places, nobody gives a damn.
