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.

Don't give them ideas.

I remember when it was Romneycare.

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.

They make better parabolic reflectors than Faraday cages.

Imagine a disc spinning clockwise, the top edge is moving to the right, the bottom is moving to the left, and the right edge is moving down and the left edge is moving up.

By mounting that disc at an angle and changing which edge makes contact with whatever rests on it (your foot in this case), you can change the direction the disc's rotation moves it.

The sun contains 99.86% of the solar system's mass. Jupiter contains .2%. The other gas giants make up the rest, and everything else combined rounds down to zero. You could dump everything from Mercury to the Oort cloud into Jupiter and it's still not enough mass to turn it into a star.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

I'm not laughing because it won't end with this lawsuit.

Just as many as on Mars, but hardly any compared to Venus.

I get why they changed it, but they could have come up with something better than a horned yoga ball to replace it with.

A bunch of people who didn't watch their commercials and don't have that feeling about Burger King just got a reminder that they still exist.

In spite of your hatred for them, you just provided better advertising than they did for free.

Oddly enough, zip files are a supported playlist format in VLC, so you can just have them open the zip file. I don't recommend it, but it's technically a solution.

Making an actual playlist and having them load that instead would work around your VLC problem and should work in other music players. An .m3u playlist is fairly well supported, and it's really just a list of file names in the order you want them played. Remember to use relative filenames so it works wherever the zip file is extracted.

1: agreed

2: they did that two and a half years ago and you apparently just noticed so maybe they had a point

They'll compromise on willingness if need be. Just like they did two centuries ago.

They were regularly beating Lexus on quality surveys at that time.

Not saying that Porsche didn't improve their quality a lot, but it was Lexus that really dropped the ball there.

They added half a ton of hybrid system.

That would be the punchline for a kids joke. As a dad joke, it subverts the expected punchline with something even cheesier.

So nothing new.

The ECU puts you in what's basically valet mode until you hit the mileage.

It's got far more than an actual penny-farthing. Not needing to pedal it means they didn't have to compromise stability to put the pedals under the rider.

They've all let me down over the years.
