It's only correct for modern automatic transmissions. Plus sometimes start/stop.

Probably not for old "3 gear with torque converter" or similiar.

This applies to my computer as well. I use it to drive on the information superhighway.

Lack of touchscreen was a + point when deciding to buy my current car.

IMO, if the touchscreen serves as more than one button/action while driving, it's a broken design.

Even the BMW "wheel button" is a better one.

This is why you don't buy DRM and root your devices.

Perhaps browsers should have p { max-width: 72ex; } by default. And a user setting for this, just like default font size.

How much power does that use? I run linux a firewall/router on an older laptop + usb ethernet(2) and it's about 20w. I'd prefer < 10. Perhaps I need to try Raspberry Pi next.

Is it because of an in-house software maintenance problem, or mostly due to being tied to 3rd party software and would have to buy new licenses / migrate?

I've used at times it to crash the program (core dump), producing a cleaner stack than abort().

Killing XUL has the potential of killing Firefox. I bet the last good XUL version will be forked.

There's nothing structured about core dumps. Better to do nothing so the developer can see a clean core dump.

+1 I really don't understand the fights about GNOME3 and Unity UI. They both suck for me. KDE is okay-ish, but needs a lot of polish compared to Gnome 2.

This reminds me of the good old days when you could actually set your own fonts and colors in a browser and disable javascript.

The inventors of CSS have failed greatly.

We need a declarative hypertext web back desperately. (I am running NoScript, but I have to enable it for too many sites)

I don't think this type of DRM (you get what you pay for, it's an appliance) can be fully compared to DRM in a computer which is designed to limit the use of a computer.

The problem is not encryption, S/MIME works well enough for that.

The problem is you don't have public keys for people you send to.

And there's not a reason for many to get the keys.

I wish I could say "I'll read your unencrypted email tomorrow" (and delay it from getting to my inbox).

Not when you have companies forcing online registration, expiring software, cloud services/storage, DRM, ...

That's why web is/was better for many things, especially when you could increate fonts only (unfortunately, many sites have bad css that breaks this).

Looks like squares to me.
