Why can't some other needy person outbid the local needy person? The book can always be resold over and over again. Everybody ought to take care of books, until the cost of the item is $0.
With the current system, books probably get thrown away.
Oh, okay. I think that you might be right about Flash. That makes more sense. I wonder if there is a way to get it to empty its own cache. I'll have to look that up.
Yeah, there are widgets that are supposed to be equivalent to extensions. That was the hype. The widgets were supposed to be good enough, compared to extensions, so there was supposed to be no need for extensions. I have not looked into those, though. I have been happy just browsing in a very simple way. I might start looking into using some Twitter widgets.
I honestly suspect that Opera is taking a different course than what they did in the past. I suspect that they are innovating a lot less, for better or for worse. The latest innovations have not captured market share, as people might have hoped. I have sensed that they are beginning to look towards Firefox for innovative ideas. Last time I tried Firefox, I have been very impressed with the way that they deal with RSS feeds.
I find that I can grind it to a halt, in about 5 minutes. If I watch several YouTube videos, or load pages with lots of Flash, then it seems to slow down. I typically shutdown my computer at the end of each day, or several times per day, and I still encounter the problem.
Do you know of any settings that can get rid of the Flash files from the cache when I leave the page?
I find it frustrating, because if I browse to another page accidentally and come back, then I have to reload the entire video. Why does Opera store that video in a cache, if I would have to reload it, anyways?
Any help would be appreciated. I assumed that most people experienced the same problem as me, and didn't bother raising any concerns. If anybody could offer advice, then that would probably redeem Opera, in my eyes.
In general, it is good to research the obvious questions, because often times, the answer is counter-intuitive. I think that this question was a bit unnecessary, though, because trying to predict what a stranger would prefer [e.g. aisle or window] is not as relevant as what your friend would prefer. Also, we have more data and life experience with friends, which enables us to predict what our friends want.
That being said, I hesitate to question any of this, because I'm not an expert.
I mostly agree. I think that both can pull it off, but women are more suited to wearing the sheer stuff. The opaque stuff is more suited to the way that we live and the way that we look at ourselves.
Why would you want the real data? You weren't planning on reading it were you?
The article contained experiment information: dogs were trained to react to bowls, bowls were placed in neutral positions, dogs reactions to bowls were monitored. The summary never contained that info.
I disagree with their interpretations. I could imagine that optimistic people and dogs walk towards food.
I almost think that as soon as the President wins an election, he or she needs to go and campaign at every federal office building and get those people on his side.
That would be very interesting. I would definitely support that.
I'd like to take it a step further, just for the sake of experiment, just for 1 election. I'd support the idea where the tax payer doesn't get involved in the next election, at all. Instead, the candidates have to gain the votes of the various government organizations.
That sounds kind of scary, but often times the best solutions are counter intuitive. I suppose that the intuitive outcome is that the government would become corrupt, or would cater to the government organizations.
That being said, my suggested system does not have a different outcome than what we have now. We have taxpayers doing the voting, but the government does not have to keep its campaign promises. The government still caters to government organizations.
Another thing to bear in mind, is that if it is a legitimate government service, then it should not be completely subject to the free market. For example, libraries should not be able to dictate prices, but they should be able to bargain for book purchases like regular customers. For another example, non-coastal states and provinces should not need a navy, but because it is a legitimate government service all states and provinces should contribute to the navy's overall well being.
With my suggestion, we could probably find a way to make it transparent.
The only problem, of course, is that we can never really trust government.
Yes, I understand, and mostly agree. So, if we hold them accountable, just as we hold other researchers accountable, then we might have a positive outcome.
That's interesting. If universities pay researchers, then maybe paying journalists is a great idea. I personally wish that we could get away from that, but it would be something that I would explore.
I assume that you're joking, but I want to tell everybody about my blog.
I have a blog to share my experiences in wearing shorts and hosiery [i.e. pantyhose; tights; nylons; etc.] in public. I'm trying to bring this style into the mainstream man's wardrobe, to test my ability to bring about societal change.
I agree with your overall direction. I thought that the limit should be getting it to market. Honestly, why invent something that you can't get to market? Would you do all that hard work, if you knew that you couldn't get your product to market, or obviously, to someone who can? If we predict that we can't get it to market, then we should just open the idea to others or let somebody else take care of it.
Like I said, I agree with you. There should be lots of deadlines to enforce progress.
I like what you say about retweeting. I am a bit more extreme than you, in that I hate all retweets that aren't emergencies, or something that absolutely must know.
I totally agree with you. I truly believe that if an author can't edit his own work, then he can't write.
As for doing 1000 words in an hour and a half, I don't count his 1000 words, as 1000 words, because that's only brainstorming words. If I have to write 100 words, then I would prefer to give myself a full hour, to type it out, proof read for the overall flow, proof read again, for small grammatical and spelling errors, and then make a final check. In between those steps, I will make several checks for user friendly readability.
When I write, I rarely think about the tools that I use. If I need to make a PDF, then I'll use a word processor. If I'm just writing on/. or in my blog, then I'll just use the text box.
I had a difficult time reading the summary and story, because I couldn't figure out what he was trying to do.
Yeah, it's worth forcing people to pay, because it gathers more money for the firemen. It's relatively safe to tax people like this, because it's not as if people typically abuse the privilege. How often do we say, "Well, it's so cheap to get them to come and wet my house, so I'll keep doing this dangerous thing."? People think along those lines with welfare [e.g. "I can't get a job, because I might get fired, and that will put an end to my income."], but that type of situation is a totally different ball of wax.
On top of that, I read somewhere that firemen have the most trusted reputations.
Paying for the fire department is probably 1 of the most legitimate insurances available, if not the most legitimate.
That's absolutely right. 1 scratch could prevent the whole DVD from being played, while you could damage half a video cassette, and the remainder would still be fine.
When customers set aside an evening for movies, they don't want to be told that they can't watch a movie due to a scratch.
I totally agree with both of you. I think that mail order DVD rentals are totally underrated. I think that that should be the norm, and that small shops should only be there to fill in the remaining small niches.
Exactly. I actually just came back from returning DVDs to the library. I didn't even think about late fees once. It caused so much heart ache to have to make a special trip just to return the DVDs. I never really felt that way, when returning DVDs with Zip.ca. The truth is that if you have to go to the post office when you get your groceries, then you probably live further away from it, than I do from the public library. I could walk back and forth in about 8 minutes. Despite having weeks to watch the movies, I just dreaded returning the videos.
I bet if every organization offered a return envelop, for mailing, and somehow factored it into the price, then they'd have much happier customers, even if the total price is more expensive.
Don't forget that he probably doesn't shut off his computer, when he is away for 5 minutes or more. Does he shut off his screen? I don't know if we can trust that guy.

I always thought that a restraining order would have a lot more legal text. I guess not. :^)

I find that Opera already does leak memory.

FB also has a standard way of unsubscribing from things, which email doesn't have.
