@Jet Except that it means too many things want me to stay up too late, which is problematic when I want to get to bed and get up for work the next day!
I also have other things but that's my most modern hardware.
I could set up a decent game room once I get a house.
@allquixotic Netherlands. The grading here is most done from 1 to 10 points. (think of it of 10''s of % correct answers. A 6 (60% correct) would be barely passing. A 7 would be ok. And 8 is fine. a 9 is very good. A 10 depends on the teacher. SOme thing it should never ever be given except for absolute perfection.
And Since Einstein even had things wrong, even he should not get a 10
But they do say that you can download lists of trackers to block, and just like many hosts list, the tracking lists are conspiculously absent of huge corperate tracking agencies.
what is most amasing about tracking and marketing and all on the web, besides the results being about 50% wrong most of the time, is that there seems to be no end to it. It makes no sence to me that they track everybody 5-17 times over, and there is still no market saturation.
Advertisers pass to other advertisers , to other marketers, all a huge circle jerk economy, but where does anyone actually A) sell anything B) gain any competitive edge over the knowns that 98% of people point thier browser to to shop, without any marketing telling them what to do.
@allquixotic don't be so sure, everyone has his own place in this world. One can always change himself, it requires trying,trying harder, failing, and reaching (I know it on my own). However, if you don't want to talk about it, it's ok
@allquixotic (1) it is, but one can always change to better and be in a better place, (2) trying to change to be someone you want is something you should aspire to, even if it seems impossible, it's not that hard
@ThatBrazilianGuy I see squares in place of letters in your post, and only "web" word is readable :)
You should be happy being who you are, and you should be with someone who is happy with who you are too. If those two people are the same person then who cares?
@allquixotic I never noticed in my younger years just how many episodes were highly morally charged, even when they seemed "just fun". I suspect a lot of them formed part of the basis of my world view without me noticing...
@allquixotic For example the episodes that question Data's autonomy and that of his "daughter", it wouldn't even occur to me to question that he has self-determination and the same right to free will as anyone else.
I think my favourite episode was the probe that forced Picard to live a life on a planet whose sun was expanding and was going nova. The planet was doomed and they couldn't save their people so they sent a probe and one dying wish: "Remember Us"
Annoyance of the day: pretty much all of the mobile browsers are based on WebKit, so if you hate Chrome then your only real choice is one the Big Three Desktop Browsers.
Fun fact of the day: Firefox for Android doesn't suck as much as it did.
@MichaelFrank It used to be slow and chuggy, but seemingly it now runs perfectly fine on my Nexus. I tried it about 6 months ago and found it painful, but now its okay.
@allquixotic I'm actually not married, and don't expect to (by choice). I also am analytical and engineering, and can troubleshoot. Hence my patronage of this site. :) (@Jet)
@Jet I can see it all just fine in IE 11. :)
@Mokubai How is Opera doing in the mobile browser space these days? Is it Webkit as well? It used to be king on mobile. I used it on my old Symbian S60 phones and it rocked.
@BenRichards not tried Opera in a few years (I have a minor phobia of it for some reason, not sure why) but I assume it isn't utter rubbish because it isn't Yet Another Bloody WebKit browser
keep in mind, Blink and Webkit will diverge over time ;p
@Mokubai lol, actually the latest version of Opera for mobile and desktop ISWebKit a Google+Opera fork of WebKit called Blink
Opera is closer to Chrome than Safari now
the Presto renderer that was in-house Opera IP is pretty much dead now, and I don't think they're releasing any new products that contain it, unless some random ISV asks to license it for some reason when they could get WebKit for free instead (or Gecko, or...)
The browser I was using instead of Chrome was UC Browser, but an update means it now has the Webkit-ism called the Link Disambiguation Popup (AKA "We believe our users are all fat fingered idiots who couldn't tap a single link in the middle of a blank page without our help")
There exists a special circle in Hull for the person who came up with that misfeature.
@allquixotic well that would explain my current feeling of mistrust with Opera, and reduces my choice to The Big Two Desktop Browsers. I'm stuck with Firefox forever, until they go to WebKit and I pray to Microsoft to give me Internet Explorer Android. What is the world coming to?
@MichaelFrank The Android version of it spends its time finding new and intriguing ways of causing me aggravation. The Link Disambiguation Popup is designed for small screens yet they arbitrarily decided everyone should have it just because a) they're idiots, b) no one has any kind of screen larger than 3 inches, c) there are no phones with Digitiser's (cough Galaxy Note cough), and d) they're idiots.
Hence I have declared war on it. I'm almost tempted to make IE my default browser at work.
