Because I'm often times researching several things at the same time and like to keep them grouped together on different pages rather than having over 100 tabs open on one window.
I also have multiple monitors and will have a group of publications open on one and another group that I'm cross-referencing and comparing on the other. If it's something that I'm not going to use for a couple of months, I may bookmark the entire group and save it to bookmarks. But my bookmarks folder is enormous, so if it's something that I might need to get to I keep it open.
Is Pale Moon from before Mozilla removed the bookmark editing features? That was one of the reasons I started looking for another browser. But I still need the tree-style tabs.
I strongly suggest moving on to Pale Moon. NoScript works with it, so what are you waiting for?
I'm waiting for tree-style tabs to work on Pale Moon. The way things have gone with FF the last few years, I've been looking for something else. But I have to have vertical tabs, preferably nested. So far, Opera with it's vertical tabs is the best option I've found. But it's not nested and it also duplicates the tabs horizontally as well. Opera also appears to create a new process for every tab. Which I find kind of annoying as I normally have a dozen, or more, browser pages open with 5 to 20+ tabs open in each.
You'd think that, that many views would tell apple that people would like the headphone jack to remain. But I know they don't care. Hopefully other manufacturers will realize this and not remove it too. Regardless, I have no plans to get a new phone until my currently 2 generation old phone dies.
Except that's not how it will work. All of the people you stated will be let go, certainly will. The line workers may get a little more money, but the CEO and such will get most of it. Then new line workers will be hired for half of what the current ones are paid, with less benefits. Then anyone close to retirement age will be offered early retirement and replaced with more lower wage people. Any one else left will be given some sort of payoff to leave, or outright fired and in the end the line will be staffed with people who make a third to half of what the original workers did. The C level folks will get big bonuses. Then the customers will realize the quality of their products has gotten worse and profits will slide a little. And a new CEO will be brought in to cut costs and they will go on a steady decline and eventually offshore to China. Sadly, this seems to be the way of business these days.
Does that mean if people keep using the phrase "I could care less", then the words could and couldn't officially switch meaning?
Yes, actually it does. The term "awful" used to mean the exact opposite of what it does currently. At one time if someone was in awe of something it was awful. Now awesome has replaced it and awful means the opposite.
Hillary is plainly a Sociopath. She has demonstrated no regard what-so-ever for the rule of law or the well being of anyone.
Being a sociopath is practically a prerequisite for running for a federal office these days. Sadly, I'm fairly certain this is the worst presidential election with regards to choices of candidates that I can recall. I'm not sure about Ford, Carter and McCarthy in '76 as it's been a while and I tend to remember the good more so than the bad. I usually vote third party, but even those choices seem pretty bad to me this time around.
She either lied to the FBI, has dementia, or is an idiot. There's no fourth option.
Option 4. She was kidnapped by aliens between her briefing and her interview and who we currently think is Hillary is a cleverly disguised replacement.
Option 5. Bill had her replaced with a Stepford wife type robot years ago and a few bits got flipped regarding the briefing.
See, there are lots more options. Just none of them are good... or plausible. Unless you believe the stories in the World Weekly News. But they're still not good options.
I believe this is the first time I've every heard of "aggravated" identity theft. Did he have a knife in his hand while doing this? Of course being the person he targeted, I'm surprised he didn't get charged with "aggravated attempted assassination" and "1st degree capital fraud".
Oh, thank you for clarifying that. I didn't understand it after reading it twice. But after reading it a dozen times in a row, it made perfect sense. You could have left off the extra two sentences at the end tough. That was over doing it.
He claimed Ireland was being "picked on" and that he hoped to see the Irish government launch an appeal against the ruling.
I'm sure Ireland will stand up for their rights and not be forced to accept this kind of treatment. It's appalling. I sure would if someone would "pick on" me by ordering a foreign company to pay me 15 billion euros. I mean really, who would put up with that kind of treatment? What's wrong with Europeans, this isn't the dark ages, you can't treat people like that.
Aren't particles microscopic, something that can be measured in millimetres doesn't seem like it ought to be described as a particle...
In physics, yes. But they were using the general definition, which does seem somewhat out of place in this case, but is correct. This is similar to talking about a particle of dust getting into a camera lens.
That may be shortening the story a little too much. Or did the Earth get here via a signal from another star 95 light years away? I'd say that's some pretty big news.
The summary gave a list of people he'd outlived. It didn't say that he'd lost the ability to form new relationships (and 4 wives suggests that wasn't the case), or even to care about people he wasn't directly related to.
I never said he couldn't. But I've know people who have lost a child. It's awful. I can't imagine how it would be to outlive all of them.
What an exhilarating challenge!
I think you've told us more about yourself than the subject of the article.
Not really. I lived in a house that didn't have running water when I was a kid. Unless you count the hand pump in the kitchen. I've seen a lot of change in my comparably short life. Many have been good, some miraculous, and some not so good.
There's nothing exhilarating about being challenged to fit into society. I hope I never get old enough that it becomes such. But I do find constantly learning new thing to be wonderful. I'd love to live that long, or longer. But only if I don't become a burden on society or spend my days thinking how awful everything is.
Politeness and paying attention are two things that I do miss. If you would have read the first part of my post you would have noticed that I was looking at both the good and the bad side of living that long, not simply the down side.
Not sure where you are from, but that is exactly how this works in the Netherlands. You are responsible for providing the correct information. If after several years you are audited and you did not provide the correct information, you sure as hell will pay the taxes still owed, plus interest.
I'm not an Apple fan, but in this case I disagree. Yes, of course if I file incorrect tax returns the IRS (I'm in the US) can audit me and force me to pay the difference plus interest and penalties. But that's not what's happening in this case.
In this case, Apple paid what they were supposed to according to Irish tax law. Now they are being told that the the law was incorrect and they need to pay up.
How would you feel if you government suddenly informed you that you need to pay them and extra 30% (estimated Apple yearly gross from the EU at $50 billion for 2015) of your yearly gross income this year? Not because of a mistake you made, but because they didn't think you had paid enough, even though you complied with your taxes.
We've seen how this goes in Greece. Hell, they're pissed because this was necessary to keep the county solvent. That's not even the case here. This is just a case of them following the law and a governing body deciding that the law wasn't good enough and punishing them retroactively.
he's already outlived four wives, all 10 of his brothers and sisters, and all of his children.
On one hand it would be kind of Interesting to be around that long. On the other, I can't imagine how terrible it would be to out live everyone you care about. And I would think it would be difficult to live in the world with the number of changes that have occurred over that amount of time. Think about the pace of life when he was a young adult compared to now.
If it was easy for third party states to gain information from her e-mail server then the "justice system" could have gained it just as easily. Maybe foreign states did hack her server.
For it to be admissible in court the Justice system needs to get a warrant first. A foreign agency or individual does not. There's a big damn difference.
It's just as likely that the NSA
It's very apparent that the NSA need(ed/s) to be reined in. While they were created in a different time and, possibly, needed to operate by a different set of rules at that time, it's become fairly obvious that they've over stepped their limits. I doubt any evidence that they may have gathered regarding the situation with Mr.s Clinton's email server would be admissible in court.
I used reliable brands at the time. Sony, TDK, etc. All of them fade over time.
Memorex and TDK were terrible for longevity, though both had good names years ago. I can't say I ever used Sony though. But there are/were a lot of really bad brands. I have Verbatim CD's that are over 20 years old now and are still fine. I also have Verbatim DVDs that are well over 10 years old that are readable. Which brand media you use makes a big difference. Most Memorex and TDK DVD disks I've burned had errors within a year and I don't think any made it longer than three.
HP intentionally discriminated against its older employees by targeting them for termination [...] and then systematically replacing them with machines
On August 24, 2016 Skynet became self aware and started terminating those who were old enough to be a threat, or at least look up from their cell phone occasionally. Fortunately for humanity, John Connor (in 2027) sent Kyle Reese back in time to save them...
Kyle Reese: You've been targeted for termination!
Arun Vatturi: What? You're going to have to speak up sonny.
Kyle Reese: Come with me if you want to live!
Arun Vatturi:Sorry young man, my hearing-aid...[falls to the floor after multiple gunshots]
Kyle Reese: You've been targeted for termination!
Sidney Staton: Slow down, this walker only has one speed [drops over from a heart attack]
Kyle Reese: Shit. Sara Conner was never this difficult. [suddenly is aware of approaching terminator].
Terminator: [Raises hand and stops] Don't leave me hanging.
Kyle Reese: Wait. What! Why do you want a hi-five?
Terminator: You saved me a couple of bullets, and blood on my new leather jacket. It's Prada
Terminator: I'm going hack the 401K of a guy in Texas and another in Washington.
Kyle Reese: Why would you do that? You don't need money.
Terminator: Half the time they drop over dead when they realize they lost their retirement.
Kyle Reese: You don't hunt them down?
Terminator: No. Telecommuting is more efficient. And the weight fees for the extra seat on flights is ridiculous.
Kyle Reese: Eff this, I'm going to go find Sara Connor. Don't you usually go after her?
Terminator: After five movies, a TV series, and a tepid reboot it's too expensive. IT workers are like fish in a barrel.
Well, umm, actually we are. The only countries in the world that don't use the metric system are the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar.
Damn near anything that you can purchase by weight or volume is listed in imperial and metric on the label. Just look at the labels. So it is in use.
Canada still uses imperial units for many things. If you ask most Canadians how much they weight, they'll tell you in pounds. Speed limits in the UK are in MPH. Real estate in Hong Kong is measured by the sq. foot. Gas (petrol) is sold by the gallon in a dozen or so countries still. While the US, Myanmar and Liberia are the only three countries to not make metric the official system, the usage of imperial units is still very common in many countries.

Alas, the car still has rubber tires, and some of the rubber is worn away during braking,
Unless you are constantly locking up the wheels during braking, I'm not sure how braking would wear the tires more than driving.

But I think you give people too much credit in assuming that everyone would instinctively understand that charging past "100" would be bad.
