Comment Missed the Compact Mode (Score 1) 163

Basically, Mozilla was chasing the newness of tablets like a dog chasing squirrels, when the took out the compact mode, and replaced it with Touch mode. I don't know why they couldn't have left both in. Anyway, thank you Mozilla for eventually doing the right thing. Perhaps someday, we will really have privacy, and maybe even we will have Scrapbook working, just like it was, because it was the most useful web-research tool ever made, and that is why Mozilla tried and failed to copy it with Pocket.

Comment We should be sensible about lighting (Score 1) 111

No crime happens in the day, right? Not exactly. Letting people see the stars and the their place in everything is just not scientists--it's for all people. Just because we live in cities it doesn't mean that we have to deprive ourselves of part of our natural existence--only because manufactures and people want to install thoughtless light fixtures, that light up the sky. Living in an age where humans are running out of sources of energy sources--should we just waste it?

Comment Whammo Car Was Confused/Stuck in San Jose (Score 1) 241

I have video of a Whammo! car stuck at a construction site, on Meorpark avenue in San Jose. It trapped itself in the right-turn lane, which to any human--was blocked off.

Any data would have to allow for the fact that Whammo cars are easily recognizable, and people keep away from them, because they don't want to get hit.

Comment Sigh (Score 1) 4

Hmm, my languishing submission has generated 3 comments already. I do mostly Teensy/Arduino-style programming, as well as CAD/Design/Graphics, so, programming a browser is not my cup of tea. I don't think they even if I could code a fix that it would go live, anyway. I am all for Privacy-by-Default, and might have coined the term? I would like some light shined in this small dark corner of Firefox. Ironically, I like Firefox, and have used it since it was a 5mb download. Still, want it to do well, but in the end, how is a browser that touts privacy but denies it going to prosper?

[I could ever have one more Slashdot submission go live, I really want it to be one about Privacy-By-Default, the idea that everyone is entitled to privacy in their hardware and software products--unless you explicitly give your permission to relinquish it.]
