They don't refine crude into bunker oil so the ship's engine can use it. They do it to strip more valuable products out of the oil before using what's left to power the ship.

Intentionally? I've only ever "used" it when trying to copy a link to an image.

The option with the most text is always the correct choice. Both for the diagnosis and the solution.

At least until problem 11, which I can't advance to because it tells me I have to solve the previous case even though it's solved.

Relays were standardized.

Other parts were sourced from outside suppliers, which also supplied the same or similar parts to other automakers. Some of them were direct replacements, some were easily modified to work, and some could be robbed for components to refurbish your old part.

The set the limit to 85 in 1999 because people turned the state into a race track.

If you're at the top of the buffer, guG will lowercase the whole thing.

So if you open a file, go to type G to jump to a line, but accidentally hit g, then try to undo it with u out of habit, before hitting G again, you do the same thing.

Yes, you don't make that 4 percent bigger unless you get people who don't use Linux to use Linux.

They didn't accumulate "problem" users, they drove off everyone else.

Throwing their fans under the bus to try and get new users has been Mozilla's tactic for the last 15 years. Which is why they're down to 2% market share.

Doing it harder isn't going to help them.

From the same Wikipedia page:

"On July 15, 2003, Time Warner (formerly AOL Time Warner) disbanded Netscape. Most of the programmers were laid off, and the Netscape logo was removed from the building."

Peak Netscape was 1996. By 2003, they had already handed development off to Mozilla, and Netscape the browser was just a thin veneer over Mozilla's browser.

By 2007, it was just Mozilla with AOL branding and almost all of it's users were people still using AOL in 2007.
