Well that would make sense. Unfortunately as most of where you'd use new tabs is where you'd also use open in new window, it still removes the advantage.
Unless it has an "open new windows in new process" option that I don't recall, and can't find looking now, of course...
Not that I've thought about whether the comment was right or not, I should point out that I don't think the suggestion was that it examines the entire structure, just reads the beginning of the file, all executables starting with the same bit pattern, most likely.
Sprint has admitted that their marketing of CDMA2000 1x services as 3G is a joke, when really they're more comparative to GPRS than true 3G. CDMA2000 I think has a full 3G variation, and apparently in some way it's compatable with what most of the world calls 3G (3GSM WCDMA based services).
Not sure how that would work, though it's slightly different from being able to do that, using AGPS lik e the new 3G phones have, and then being able to pop up a map on the screen showing exactly where you are, and exactly where the cashpoint is.
Yup, that's the problem with 3's services in the UK. They have all these silly music and news downloads, location services, video calls, things like that, with a specific charge for each. What I want to be able to do though is check my home imap server from my phone... can I do that? No chance. I use the phone because they also have cheap calls, but it certainly isn't for the 3g services. They are slowly considering opening it up properly, and keep saying they will, but it's been 18 months and they've not done it yet.
Yet to come? My 3G phone will pull 300k quite happily... depends on where you are in the world, of course, and 3 doesn't offer proper data services in the UK, annoyingly. Vodafone does offer a 3G card for laptops, with fast, but very expensive, mobile data.
Digital ones will usually do both at the press of a button. I agree that really the change should be made, people resist these things though, unfortunately. "Oh, but they sound wrong", not realising that if you get used to km measurements for a few months, they won't sound wrong. People seem to have this strange idea that moving to metric is Europe taking over the world, really not totally sure why.
But they are forcing people to do it, so I wasn't wrong, was I? I agree that most people have comfortably moved over though, even my grandfather has realised how much better metric is and is now using it for his models.
In the UK they're still forcing shops to measure in metric, and all sorts of things like that. Road signs, on the other hand, they've made no real effort to change. I can only imagine it's partly expense, and partly safety... although I can only imagine people slowing down with metric signs really, as the numbers would seem bigger in the short term.
Ok, your comment might be fine if you were talking about environmental damage through recycling, but you're not. In fact you're talking about financial reasons. On those same grounds you can argue that renewable energy is bullshit because it costs more than burning fossil fuels... ooo, that's the most important thing isn't it?
Cost is not the most important thing. As far damage to the environment through increased energy use, which is a valid argument, I don't agree with that either, on the grounds that we are increasing the amount of energy being produced by renewable forms. If we can get that level high enough then producing more energy isn't going to cause major environmental damage, and so the advantage of reusing natural resources rather than waiting until we actually run out of, say, oil is fairly clear.
Ah, now I didn't say it was guaranteed, and I wouldn't dream of storing vital e-mail on it with any degree of security, but that doesn't mean I don't expect it to be there for a period of time.
Even if I wouldn't expect it to outlast my own domain and server (which is up to me really I suppose), the chances are good that it will outlast most peoples' ISP e-mail accounts.
Hmm, I'd have said VHS looks lower quality than broadcast TV, actually, and that DVD is broadcast quality (but without interference and higher bitrate than broadcast digital). Not that that matters, DVDs are clearly better than VHS, so you have a point anyway:)
I was just thinking that, RISC OS's 3 button mouse made it *very* quick and easy to browse the file system, and as you say other similar areas of the GUI. As I recall you could right click the window close icon and it would go up a directory level, too? Removing the need for clunky back and up a level buttons, that cleanness is nice, one of the first things I do in XP's explorer is take it back to classic mode just to tidy the windows up and give more space to work.
The reasons for everyone I know are: a) Half the shelf space taken up b) Don't have the degredation per play effects of VHS
You are right in saying it has nothing to do with surround sound or progressive-scan. I'm dubious about random access though, in my experience people actually find that annoying because they like to be able to take a VHS tape out when they're half way through a film to record something else, and put it back in again, just having to press play to go from where they left off, DVD makes that much more work.
But it's a very different thing trying to use VOIP over the internet itself, general public data networks with little by way of service guarantees, and converting a managed telecom backbone network to use IP.
But half the output power is not necessarily the same as half as loud, because the human ear hears along a log scale. Would you say an aircraft taking off is a billion times louded than your computer, for example (random and inaccurate number off the top of my head because I'm busy, but illustrates the point to a certain extent).

Which is all very well, as long as you weren't there first.

Anywhere that is cooperating, so both, one would assume (though in the case of the poster it was from the point of view of one or other, presumably).
Not that I've thought about whether the comment was right or not, I should point out that I don't think the suggestion was that it examines the entire structure, just reads the beginning of the file, all executables starting with the same bit pattern, most likely.
> And if one of those windows crashes or hangs, I don't lose the others (or their back-traces).
A valid argument, but one that surprises me, I don't think IE's ever managed to crash just a single window...

An imperial ton is 2240lbs, so that would equate to your long ton, not short.
This is according to Google's wonderful calculator, incidentally, so it could be wrong, but I'd like to hope not.
With unit conversions nothing is more useful than typing something like "1 imperial ton in pounds" into google.
I'd naturally have pronounced it more like "My you-id", as GUID would be "goo-id"
Has to be said I love how cheap DVD players are... I just bought 2 :S
:)
Let the working man work for his money!

Many many people. I fully expect it to last longer than my domain really... no sign of Yahoo dying anytime soon.
And were everyone like you, that would work well.

No reason it couldn't be, it's just statiscally unlikely.
