  1. Re:Restoring Firefox session while offline on Microsoft Is Downloading Windows 10 Without Asking · · Score: 1

    There is a function in Firefox to not try to load the restored tabs till you activate them. I recommend it. I hate about chrome that 5 youtube videos start playing at the same time whenever I start the browser.

    I had one of those beasts at home,I thought it was beautiful and was very glad to not have to use chain paper any more (the stuff that's strongest at the perforations), but the cartridges did dry up rather quickly if you didn't print regularly and then you got stripes. It got replaced by a cheap laser printer that doesn't mind longer times of inactivity.

    Interesting idea, but we need numbers. How much would the difference in length due to uneven heating have been in a realistic scenario and was that enough to cause sufficient damage to cause it to fail catastrophically?
