You can hold shift while right clicking to get the normal menu anywhere that it is disabled/replaced


I find that really useful


You sound like an entitled employer


I tried a MacBook touchpad in the Apple store and I didn't get what the fuss was about. It has that annoying feature where when you click the cursor freezes for some period of time, which stops you clicking on multiple things in quick succession. It didn't feel any more precise to me in terms of pointing. I realise it has gesture support that works in close harmony with OS features, but just in terms of pointing and clicking it was nothing special.


It's so responsive and smooth, especially double-finger scrolling


HP Chromebooks are exactly the same. It's all down to the driver.


That would include domains like dropbox.com or drive.google.com then?


Do you trust dropbox.com that they separate their servers, do you trust google that they do good job in terms of security and containing malware to single file? If yes then there is no need to include those.

On the other hand if you don't trust then those should be included.

Question is, does Mozilla trust google enough? Does Mozilla trust some random website where people host pirated content?

That is random article written by some random guy. Seems like he is more technical than average Joe, but he does not have any statistics to show why this behaviour was implemented. It just looks like a nag that he get his pirated downloads flagged by Firefox. It is backed up by bunch of people who also use it on /r/libgen. If they don't like it they can move to IE6.


Security is always complex, and simple rules always have flaws. That doesn’t mean simple rules are always bad, it just means people who build systems around them do need to understand they need to do more than just blindly follow simple rules. I’m pretty sure you’ll find FF doesn’t alert on those sites, because they are being handled by a more complex rule than a vanilla low or medium traffic site.


Funny thing is article is saying "Unfortunately, this message isn’t always accurate. Apparently, sometimes this message is an outright lie.".

So it is not like this domain hosts one bad file and it got flagged, it is apparently more often if it "sometimes .. is .. lie".


Open about:config and search for 'wheel'. There are ~50 options for tweaking scrolling, including one to disable smooth scroll and ones to tweak the scroll distance.


>you can easily add in an additional 24 or 56

Yeah, for like $700


>The only significant thing to change was American policy

Straw man - the above was just objecting to this characterisation of recent SK political changes as insignificant


>The foreign minister is likely smart enough to fluff up the leader of their most critical ally, regardless of how much they feel he contributed internally, and especially when you know that specific foreign leader responds really well to praise.

This is what I'm replying to.


Can you clarify what you object to in that statement?

I think we've all been in a scenario where a manager or group project member gets praised for all their hard work, when everyone in the room knows they didn't do very much.

It's entirely possible this is what South Korea is doing here. Trump's well known to be easy to negotiate with if his ego is stroked, and quick to anger if it isn't. SK risks nothing by praising him, even if it's not fully warranted... and diplomats are pretty used to mouthing bullshit.


Is it possible to just 'hire more teachers' though? The teachers that I had in university didn't seem to be the type of people you could just hire more of.


Yes, it is. The fight for jobs in the academic market is fierce; there are far more people looking for academic jobs than there are positions.


But your ability to do that may be directly infringing on the ex-convict's right to make a living or feel safe themselves
