50 It's not the movie, I just don't like princess movies. It's got some pretty funny parts, but for the simple fact that it stars a princess it turns me away.
Technicality does not account for the fact that Leia is not a woman who just sits in a castle and waits for Prince Charming to come and rescue, and that she is also adopted, which, in a monarchy, means that she will NOT be the next in line for the throne.
I don't watch Game of Thrones, so I don't care :/
You forgot a message.

Moana is a great film; while she does fit the definition of princess somewhat (daughter of the chief), she's a pretty far cry from your typical Disney "heroine".
Well you can't assume that AT ALL! Hell, Naboo had an elected monarchy! She's a princess. And that's only one type of princess that sits in the castle and yadda yadda, yes its the stereotypical view purported by a lot of the disney films but still.

47. Just reading that made me feel like someone prodded me gently on the nose. The power of memes, people.
49 Fine by me.
Yes, she is a princess. However, you do not account for the fact that the Alderaanian government is not elected. It is bloodline-based. This means that, since Leia was adopted, she (would not have) been Queen of Alderaan because she is half Tatooinite, half Noobian. (This is stuff that I am knowledgeable on
) Thank you for putting up with my rant
52 mozilla brought an update to the dev version of firefox.
They basically changed the whole interface, including the dev tools and DAMM it looks promising.
They also started to take code from their servo project now, they claim its 2 times faster as the old firefox and most likely more speed improvements are coming as there is still a lot of the servo engine that is not in firefox yet. (note that I have not been able to actually check if this is true and though it feels faster that may just me buying into the hype and stuff.)
They also included a nice way to make screenshots. I now can make a screenshot of the whole page (including the stuff that does not fit on my page) in just 2 clicks and maybe less if there are shortcuts for it. (Haven't check that). It also allows you to just select an area, the screen or just a single element.

52 also, the reason I believe that more speed improvements are coming is because I saw a benchmark of the servo engine vs the old firefox and chrome.
It was a very simple benchmark consisting of a single page full of colored squares that where rotating.
Firefox only managed to get 9 FPS out of it
Chrome did a bit better with 15 FPS
Meanwhile, Servo got a very solid 60 FPS
From my understanding this is the case because the servo engine is build to be extremely parallel and thus can use a lot of CPU cores at the same time to render a page. They also treated Servo as a game engine while building it and thus added a lot of optimizations that you would see in those things. Like custom shaders instead of code that generates them, reducing the amount of drawcalls, making great use of openGL and some other stuff.

Yes, but you're basing that on our monarchy - its a little more complicated than that And bear in mind that Leia's parentage was kept a secret - Bail Organa even had C-3PO's memory wiped to prevent him giving it away. As far as anyone knew, Leia was the child of himself and Breha.
