I also heard that the new calendar is several steps backwards.

Not yet. Sandbox is heavily tied to e10s aka. electrolysis, what is planned for Fx39 (meaning that we should expect it for Fx41+).

Doesn't HSA support comes in Java 9 too?

There also is/was an arewe* site for Firefox installer size by releases, but I can't remember the URL.

Doesn't that mean that Google giving up on one of the biggest markets means they no longer need Mozilla and it can ditch it's support altogether? Will Yahoo be able to support Moz as Google did? Will this became precedence for other countries too (aside from exceptions like Russia's yandex)?

I have seen it for many cases how Rust's strictness (no null pointers and other things) has a positive effect on safety, but I am curious: does this also affect reliability or stability to the better?

I would like to know the thoughts of someone experienced with Rust.

Samsung has a counterpart for pretty much every notable app Google has to offer on Android, investing in Servo may be a part of this.

Last ETA was Firefox 36: http://www.ghacks.net/2014/07/12/mozilla-plans-release-elect...

No lolligaggin'.

They are working on it on several fronts, constantly cutting off tasks from the main thread onto their own ones (downloading, cache v2, Awesomebar), making other things asynchronous (project snappy), garbage collection improvements also help in some cases. Most of these are smaller wins, and several big ones like OMTC, tiled rendering or e10s are yet to come.

Edit: It may not be as responsive as Chrome (I don't know as I don't use it), but I believe it is miles ahead of it's former self.

AMD GPU's have no CUDA support, if someone wants to do some computing on it, usually OpenCL is the way to go.

Dev Tools load on demand and do not affect casual browsing.

The most accurate description of cat-human relationships I have ever seen.

Is that so? Than I guess you won't mind it either if I walk up to you and order you to hand it over, right?

C'mon, they are all just ex-soldiers who are on vacation or exeat.

Though, it must be one hack of a rest if they are allowed to bring tanks and military equipment with them without punishment.

Problem is, this won't get them any new users, but it may be just enough to drive away a lot of remaining ones.

That one doesn't seem to be a year old, but the lack of comments make this bump reasonable IMO.

Was that made by the MS folks, or it is only hosted on their site?

> Cats are not domesticated in the same way dogs are. There is a wide genetic variance in cats, coming from hundreds or thousands of local strains. Dogs are two or three main groups, bred over 1000's of years to make the kinds we see today.

Also, count in the fact that dogs (and formerly wolves) were living in packs, but cats did not, and this is still in their genes. Dogs are used to, and more willing to obey someone considered the pack leader, while cats retained most of loner traits even after domestication.

Well, afaik they didn't break their bones to do so before. Also, if Google is gone, no matter how small amount MS would offer for defaulting Bing, Mozilla would have no choice but to accept it.

IE caused problems by not implementing standards (or not doing it correctly) On the contrary, Chrome is causing problems with implementing pretty much everything the devs come up in their offices or only partly implementing standards.

Or, at least, that is how I experience things.

IMHO, more than half of the US folks can't even place Germany on the map, so how or why would they be afraid of something they don't know about?

The only thing I find to be strange: why there isn't a small metal plate with this written on it, just to make sure people won't panic when this happens?

edit: something like this "The top layer of glass is used to protect the rest from scratches and wear of use. The covering glass is designed to crack at it's end-of-life, but this will not effect the integrity of the structure."

NSA decides to ignore law, as it did before. Other news at 11.

Guess that makes bug #923590 a RESOLVED WONTFIX.

Edit: right on the spot...

Honestly, I was hoping to see an FxOS phone on the charts. I mean, the whole thing is about the web apps, so what else could be a better way to measure it's gaming capabilities than the Construct 2? And vice versa, the FxOS seems to be an ideal (or at least, logical) target for Scirra.

That's a helluva lot of improvements they shipped in v31, I am impressed.

Tab sandboxing is planned to be part of the ongoing e10s (Electrolysis).
