It’s looking increasingly likely that the US Department of Justice is going to succeed in their antitrust efforts against Google. Currently, Mozilla gets something like 85% of their funding from Google for being the default search engine in Firefox. That may be deemed anticompetitive behavior by a judge, at which point Mozilla will be left with very little funding compared to their current situation.

I’d bet these actions are in anticipation of that happening.

Maddrey said the officers followed the man, each firing a Taser which proved ineffective in subduing the man. He then exited the train while it was still at the station and charged the officers with the knife, the chief said.

What, it's not a good idea to do that now?

It's why they had to launch it outside of the environment

If Gob is on the ISS, I'll finally respect him as a magician.

I would have signed it too, but only because I'm awesome on fiddle and I could totally win my soul back.
