NotSafeForSome:

FORREST GUMP GOES TO HEAVEN........
The day finally arrived.  Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven.  He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the gates are closed and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper.

St. Peter said,
'Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you.  We have heard a lot about you.  I must tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast, and we have been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven.'

Forrest responds,
'It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the test ain't too hard.
Life was a big enough test as it was.
 
St. Peter continued,
'Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three questions.
First:
What two days of the week begin with the letter T?
Second:
How many seconds are there in a year?
Third:
What is God's first name?'
 
Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day and sees St. Peter, who waves him up, and says, 'Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers'
 
Forrest replied,
'Well, the first one -- which two days in the week begins with the letter 'T'?  Shucks, that one is easy.  That would be Today and Tomorrow.'
 
The Saint's eyes opened wide andhe exclaimed,
'Forrest, that is not what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I did not specify, so I will give you credit for that answer.  How about the next one?' asked St. Peter.
'How many seconds in a year?
 
Now that one is harder,' replied Forrest, but I thunk and thunk about that, and I guess the only answer can be twelve.'
 
Astounded, St. Peter said, 'Twelve?
Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven's name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?'
 
Forrest replied,
'Shucks, there's got to be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd... '
 
'Hold it,' interrupts St. Peter.  'I see where you are going with this, and I see your point, though that was not quite what I had in mind....but I will have to give you credit for that one, too. Let us go on with the third and final question.
Can you tell me God's first name'?
 
'Sure,' Forrest replied,
'it's Andy.'
 
'Andy!' exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter.
'Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name Andy as the first name of God?'
 
'Shucks, that was the easiest one of all,' Forrest replied.
'I learnt it from the song,
'ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN.'
 
St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates,and said:
'Run Forrest, run.'

Hope this noble effort will help Legacy add-on devs to continue their good work.

Living Room / Re: Can DC member bail out Firefox via Waterfox ?
« on: August 22, 2017, 07:26 AM »
@Tuxman - Palemoon is a decent browser, very fast just as Firefox should have always been.
But, have had various issues (other than the fact that i don't like their themes and selection of extensions).

Waterfox 55.0.2 just came out for Windows:
https://www.waterfoxproject.org/downloads

Sure, Waterfox may not be "open source" as Firefox (which imo is obtusely closed to core users wants and needs) and, if Waterfox fails, my fall back is going to be Vivaldi.

Living Room / Can DC member bail out Firefox via Waterfox ?
« on: August 20, 2017, 10:55 AM »
Firefox as most longtime users know has been going downhill for quite some time (cf. Dedoimedo's recent article).

The Waterfox Project seems to be the only viable alternative that bears the promise of maintaining the legacy add-ons which shall soon no longer be compatible with Firefox.

Many legacy devs have already abandonned ship and so, i was wondering if DC members could come to the rescue and help with the upkeep of these illustrious extensions or to even touch base with the add-on devs to let them know that we are people wanting to help them?

Just a thought.

It could be part of a N.A.N.Y. project.
