I have not yet had time to check the add-ons page at the Opera site. The Xmarks app syncs not only between devices, but stores a copy ONLINE. That way they are accessible on any machine. And/or they can restore a new copy of FF bookmarks on a new machine. I will check out the features you mentioned.
Version 10.53. Correct. Add ons would be Firebug, Color Tabs, Xmarks bookmark synchronizer and all-in-one sidebar. I will check out Opera. Will have to as I plan to finish my schooling and develop web pages.
As far as I can tell, the "big crunch" hypothesis isn't yet totally ruled out, though majority opinion is probably against it.
I have some on this point in astrophysics. I think "continual expansion" continues for one trillion years, then "heat death" and the universe goes dark. Even read a GREAT SF story on it once. Most of this comes from string theory and the "brane thing".
I downloaded 10.52 and the UI has changed a lot. I will futz around with it and see what happens. Even so I long for my FF3 and it's 10 gazillion add-ons. It is slow on a a slow connection and an old PC, but I hope to correct both of those soon. I HAVE been impressed with Chromes magic address line. Since it has all Google data to deal with, usually the site one is looking for is showing before the address is finished. IE I will NEVER use again.
I would agree, except I have not used Opera since version 9. I found the interface "cluttered". Subjective, I know. Maybe I should try it again. I know that it is the most standards compliant, even implementing parts of HTML 5. I am staying at a relatives house and am using an ancient laptop. It slooooooooooow. So I installed Chrome and the pages just POP. IE is nowhere and even FF is impossibly slow. This is discouraging because I love all the extensions.
I found a good article in the Scientific American re dispersants. The article says they are a tool in the shed, but often be part of the problem. As you say, the dispersants increase the surface area of the oil and this increases the bacteria who eat the oil, depleting the oxygen, sending the oil in three directions and making some of it sinking to the bottom where is coats and is ingested by shellfish. It can even kill fish eggs. Here is the link: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=spill-clean-up-chemicals&page=2.
I agree with all you said, totally. Getting our own oil by drilling in the gulf means buying less from rogue nations (mostly). Why is it the oil is in the hands of bad people? But essentially, the point is moot; we use 25% of the worlds oil, and possess only about 3% of the global reserves. I am sure anyone would agree that is not a sustainable model.
Guess they didn't think it through. Anyway, I consider iTunes and Quicktime MALWARE. When either program is installed, a process called qtask is installed to run at boot time, eating up clock cycles. I had to use Autoruns to stop it. And there are many other programs that can run Quicktime movies. I don't even see it on the 'Net that much anymore.
These products are fun toys (for now). But Apple is on to something nonetheless. Mobile computing IS a part of the picture. I just hope Android and such do so in the FOSS arena.
Indeed! I was an electronic spy in the Army. I analyzed enemy communications. Learned cryptanalysis in spy school. Nice message. From a story in todays Slashdot re the oil leakage in the Gulf: 4c 65 74 27 73 20 6e 75 6b 65 20 69 74 21.
Okay, I guess you got me there. I didn't think it through. I myself have not had use for most of the fancier features of MS Office, nor could I afford the cost for the piddling home projects I was involved in. I found OpenOffice to be the ticket for me, even if some of the features were weak.
The Google Docs programs are severely deficient in features to me, but, as you said, I LIKE the idea of my document always being available on any computer, never to be lost. I recently had my thumb drive goes tits up. My LIFE was on there, and that info is unrecoverable. I think the "cloud" is the future, and MS is building huge cloud facilities to take advantage.
I agree. I know a little physics. I am not wild about nuclear fallout, but it WOULD close the leak permanently. Maybe burn a little of the crude, although I am not certain of that. It wouldn't have to be huge and as numerous posters and the news story from Russian said, it has an 80% chance of working. BP has farted around for what, three weeks and still no solution?
Point of fact, no nation has ever bombed us. Unless you count the WTC attack as a "kerosene bomb". But even then, they were terrorists INDIVIDUALS, not a nation. Even so, I understand your point. The US does tend to have a hypocritical view about use of force.
Well, if true, I guess you could count my (rather large) organization as one that would never used Google Docs. Tracking changes alone is a feature used extensively by our business departments.
I honestly don't think any web-based document system will can compete with MS Office (desktop version). If you've ever worked for any type of large business lately, word processing is WAY past the basic formatting options I've seen in any online suite.
If that is so, why is MS itself releasing a stripped-down version of MS Office 2010 FREE on their cloud (presumably to compete with Google)?
I have to thank you for the translation. I just put in random ones and zeros. I guess I can put in an actual encoded message now. Vista has the new fancy Scientific calculator and I can translate from various number formats (hex, octal, binary, etc. I will change the sig to something more meaningful. BTW, dig your sig a lot.
I believe you probably have a point. I was a bit "put off" by the whole mannequin thing. But then they would have faced the question - what skin color? Nonetheless, it is interesting, and I will follow it from time to time.
Its honestly quite difficult to tell which grey cartoon body model is more attractive. I tried doing it, but I really just felt like I was making the ratings up...There are a few that looked like ogres that I could tell weren't attractive to me, but honestly that was about it.
I think you may have proved the point of the study. It is a study of body type perception. Many DID look similar, but I tried my best to be honest and rate it according my preference. Whether that is a general perception, the study will no doubt determine over time.

It is as fast as Chrome. It works fine on this old laptop with hardly any memory.

The Japanese actually did bomb mainland USA with fire balloons, albeit with very little military effect. There were also other attempts.
I had no idea. Guess I had better bone up on my WW2 history as concerns attacks on the USA. Thanks for the education.
Will an airline gate agent scan an iPad?
Think I read a story where it said they would NOT, but I could be wrong. I often am.

I think this was more cannonballs, artillery and rockets. But technically you have a point. Guess I was a little quick on the draw. My bad!

Whups! Guess I was thinking of the lower 48. My bad!

God bless the USDIA and their evil overlords the CIA plus the DEA who keeps the warlords in business.

Yes, I agree, Soviet engineering somewhat is lacking, despite Sputnik and all. BTW dig your sig.

Okay I have changed it to something more meaningful. God bless Google. Found a text translation page. Sig is Hex (sure you knew that).

But, so what?
If you understand programming, picking up any given language is straightforward.
If you don't understand programming, it doesn't really matter what languages you know.
