or, they mean the same feature but extended to include "oops, i didn't mean to click that tab, shit" which i happen to do frequently and would like to see in FF
It's under History...Recently Closed Tabs. Just open the tab(s) you didn't mean to close from there.
Yes, that's how the data is sent more rapidly. It's a little known fact that the UHF waves from 802.11g wireless points travel about 5 times the speed of those from 802.11b points.
I could only find a thread for this from google with one response, which the guy never replied to so I'm not sure what makes you think the given solution didn't work? Is there another thread? Feel free to let him know about the above repository.
How come I ended up paying 5 pounds 45 pence when I said I wanted to pay 5 pounds?
Because you didn't click back and enter £4.55 when you found out about the transaction fee? They needed to do it this way because otherwise entering, say, 10p would be worse for them than entering nothing, as they'd lose 35p on the "sale" to the credit card firm.
Are you really blaming Radiohead because you were too lazy to go back and enter a different amount?
Bingo! I have to wonder how many of the studies tracking CO2 concentrations against temperature, have bothered to ask the question whether or not the increase in CO2 is the cause or the effect.
None. Not a single one. Even people who've been studying this subject for the past 20 years have never thought of this. You are, in fact, the first person in the world to consider it. You should write in to Climate Policy and let them know about your radical new theory.
You know, next time you post, it's worth bearing in mind that 95% of the people on this planet are more intelligent than you. Hope this helps.
Font sizes are in points. They won't be the correct size if your display size isn't being picked up correctly, which sounds likely. Try setting DisplaySize in your xorg.conf and see if it makes a difference. Remember to make a backup copy first, so you can just copy it back in play if something screws up.
And heaven forbid if you don't specify a chart title during the wizard process. Because as far as I can tell there is no way to add a chart title afterward.
When you select the chart the main menu changes. Go to Insert...Title.
Actually, yes, but not as you put it. The Return of the King should have ended with Aragorn's crowning which seems a natural end. Then the Scouring of the Shire could have been a seperate short film. Saruman is assumed locked up in Orthanc, guarded by the Ents, so nothing more needs to be done there.
Mind you, I really liked the films and I'd already read the books too many times too count, so it's not all fans who were disappointed. There were some aspects I didn't like, but I can see why PJ felt they were required. I like his attitude of considering it as if it were an actual event, and he was simply retelling the story.
Just because we pay for health insurance through our taxes does not make it free. Our taxes are much higher than yours. In addition, many of us end up paying for additional medical insurance, as the government provision is not adequate.
Actually, people in the US pay more per capita in tax for public healthcare than we do in the UK. When you then consider that I can get comprehensive private care, with no excess, for around £40 ($80 USD) a month, with no risk of becoming uninsurable as I always have the NHS to fall back on, and prescriptions capped at £6.85...well, we're doing a fair bit better than the US in that regard.
Shielding and other techniques to reduce the noise. It's not a new problem. An article from 1998 discusses it here. You can google for "emi cpu emissions" for more stuff on this.
Fact of the matter is (as of 6 months ago at least, last I tried) you can't - you need to share the same abscissa for each data series plotted on a chart.
Well, I'll take your word for it you couldn't do this, as I'm not going to downgrade and check, but unless I'm misunderstanding the problem, OOo 2.3 handles this just fine (was only released recently, so you probably tried 2.2).
Actually, they seem to have totally updated the graphing tool. I'm sure it didn't used to update the actual graph in real-time as you changed options. You might want to have another look and see if it's fixed your previous complaints.
goes way too far into Christian apologetics to follow through on any sort of constructive argument.
Dawkins is wrong because... the Bible is right? Wow.
I've really no idea how you could read that, and summarise it as pretty much the complete opposite of what it says. At no point does he say the Bible is right. In fact, what does the Bible being "right" have to do with anything in there? I can only presume that you started skimming it about half way through and mistook the explanation of the theology (your "Christian apologetics") as an endorsement of the views.
I read this recently, and it seems appropriate to this discussion (if only vaguely:)

Re:Why I switched from The GIMP to Photoshop
on
The GIMP UI Redesign
·
· Score: 1
As an end user I went to Gimp channel and asked about the lack of 16bit colour support. All I got was "Because you didn't code it", I went furiously to adobe.com to order Photoshop Elements which, amateur thing supports 16bit.
I'm curious; what did you expect them to say? That it was a hidden option? That they would get working on it right away and have it for you tomorrow? Obviously if it's not there, it's because no-one coded it!
It should be included. See if/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/ exists. If it doesn't, ask in your distro's forums. If it does, maybe just ask in your distro's forums if there's a gui for setting it up!:) But, if you really want to command-line it, next step is check if/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register exists. If not try:
mount -t binfmt_misc none/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
and then check again if the "register" file exists. If it doesn't...something's wrong. If it does, then you can add entries like the wikipedia article says. So, you can "cd/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc" and then add a line to "register" of the form:name:type:offset:magic:mask:interpreter:
Here's an example for Windows applications, using Wine.
Which has: name = Windows type = M (use the magic number, rather than "E" which means use the extension) offset = just left blank magic = MZ (magic number for Windows executables, if you'd used "E" previous, you'd put "exe" here) mask = left blank interpreter =/usr/bin/wine (full path to wherever the "wine" program is)
Now you can run Windows apps just by typing their name, like any Linux program. In fact, since we used the magic number rather than the extension, you could remove the.exe extension and it would still run fine.
You'd probably want to put this in a startup script, or something:)
What says they're going to be able to maintain their water system if something breaks (especially something as complex & expensive as a purification system)That's what the education is for; they're poor not stupid.
or if a war breaks out in the neighborhood and their supply is damaged?
I guess they'll have to fix it, assuming they're still alive and haven't fled.
You'll at least want these portable filters as a backup plan.
So, given the choice between water for villages A, B and C, or water + "backup plan" for village A, and nothing for villages B and C, what are you going to choose?
Who says that they require short-term relief of this form? Maybe they can implement sanitary measures immediately once they have the money, without spending as much as 16 LifeStraws would cost. Or perhaps 16 LifeStraws per village would save a few lives in the first three villages, but leave no money left for any improvement at all to the fourth, ultimately resulting in more death and disease.
I don't know. But I'm betting that Mr Hetherington knows better than either of us since he works in that area, so I'll take his word for it that he has more cost-effective measures at his disposal. What makes you think that this is a more cost-effective solution than ones they already have in place? Do you know something about this area you haven't told me?
And on that subject, jackasses like this are why it's hard to help anyone:
Why is he a jackass for pointing out the truth?
Of course, if "there is decent water resource management in the country" in the first place, none of this would be necessary.
No, you can have plenty of water available, but if it's inaccessible and unsanitary further measures are still required.
And never mind that if I'd have to make a trek for water anyway, I'd prefer it to be clean when I got there.
And Mr Hetherington would prefer that they didn't have to make the trek and it was clean.
If the LifeStraw at $3.00 will actually hurt women and girls and not solve the rest of society's ills
I think maybe you're reading too much into the article's phrasing where it says he "condemned" it.
The charity doesn't have infinite resources. If you had $300 dollars to spend, would you:
(A) Put in place a water system (which lasts for a lifetime) that would provide water directly (so no trekking 20 km), that was sanitary and have money left over to provide some hygiene education
(B) Buy 100 LifeStraws (which last 6 months) for them instead?
I don't think Mr Hetherington is a jackass for rejecting the latter suggestion.

My point was more a general one on predicting limitations on technology.

There are always a few of these.
I do recall someone telling me that no CPU would ever run at more than 2GHz, as it would then start emitting microwave radiation...
