Because one of those tabs is a sports site and sometimes I do not want to see race results. And I like to retain control. You know, that part of usability that lets you control the software you use for it to work the way you want it to.
I don't use Firefox because when I got fed up with it years ago, Opera seemed to be set up in a way that made sense to me. Many of the recent changes seem like copy of what Opera has had. Things like going back to the last tab you viewed when closing a tab, instead of the next to last tab, as was the case previously. Or being able to paste multi-line text into an input window (google maps, for example) without the text being broken and/or missing the second line, the way Firefox used to do when you pasted a multi line address into google maps. The menu in FF is also taking ques from Opera, with the menu-less look, etc. I use Opera because it makes sense for me.
I'm also curious as to where I was less than open about the browser I use. Or, for that matter, when I made _any_ comment on the browser I use.
Are you honestly comparing hunger and disease that he's now giving money to cure to you having to use one type of computer? Are you for real? Maybe you should take this to r/firstworldproblems. "Dear FWP, I was forced to use one type of operating system to make my life just a tad easier." Tell that to someone whose main task is to find some drinking water for today.
Right. "Force" people to use computers that were a vast improvement over what they had before, or help all kinds of underprivileged people via an array of humanitarian efforts. Yup, definitely a scumbag. He gave us Windows, after all, and might have prevented other multinationals from making more money than they did.
No, it isn't a bookmark grid. It is a list of sites you most frequently visit, albeit set manually.
I don't think I would want one that changes dynamically based on the past 3 days of my surfing. When I open Opera, I hit Ctrl+3, Ctrl+5, Ctrl+6, Crtl+2 and have the pages I want to see at the outset. I remember what spot each page is and can open it in a new tab blindfolded.
As is, Firefox's version is a bit gimmicky, trying to one-up Speed Dial in order not to make it seem like a feature copy.
Back them up with PAR files. Sometimes, optical media may have trouble reading a specific file, or files after a certain point, at which point PAR files could recover your stuff.
All you have to do realize what Google does with your data is to exchange an email with someone about an Audi, then see nothing but Audi banners for the next 3 weeks on every site you visit. This isn't cynicism.
Not sure what sqrt means, but Calibre has many recipes for many sites to create "issues" from their headlines. It has support for subscription based sites, many international ones, etc.
The only negative is that it doesn't keep track of what you've already downloaded, so for a less frequently updated site, it would compile in the same article it did yesterday, making it less of a "daily edition" feel to your download.
The burning of e-waste to extract metals, the mining of precious metals, shipping from 2nd/3rd world producing countries to consuming countries, and discarding/replacing electronics prematurely, datacenters to host, replicate, and backup the offerings, the air-conditioning. It's probably a more involved analysis than just paper versus 300kb of data.
But it's definitely nice not to have to end up with a stack of paper every week.
Speaking of TV, you probably have the option of ordering pay-per-view and probably took the time to make it so that your boys can't just press a button and start ordering movies all day long. I don't have an iPhone, but doubt iOS is too onerous to learn. Just go through all the available options. This isn't sifting through man pages we're talking about here.
You need a large number of participants to have a class action, so it's not just him. But what will happen is what always happen: the "participants" will get a check for $32 and the lawyers will keep the millions.
Are you basing your sarcasm on anything specific, or just baseless supposition? Because for many athletes, simply making it onto the olympic team is a life goal and separate from getting paid for it. I'm not sure how their finances work (you seem to know all the details, so please share) but they aren't getting rich off it. Maybe if they get that coveted Wheaties sponsorship, but that has nothing to do with the IOC and their business model.
And one wonders why the olympics still go on, let alone command so much power, when the governments hosting them don't even break even on their investment, as far as I remember reading in the past.
So do you honestly want the FBI to tell the people they are investigating that they will be coming in one hour to seize their system? Hope you have enough time to remove anything you might not want us to see? The amount of anti FBI venom on here is really grating, simply because it has to do with a computer.
Even if the driver not at fault was going 4 or 5 over, and his speed did not contribute to the crash? Are you ready to be fleeced by the insurance company on technicalities like this?
Don't you get it? He's standing up for all the parents in the US that were fleeced of tens of dollars. Learn the options of the device and set limits? It shouldn't be my responsibility to control my child.
Kickstarter should view this as a chance to build up their defenses, if the spam flood comes. When will they get around to doing that, when they've grown large, about to issue an IPO, or sell to someone? It seems to me that they're sticking their heads in the sand a bit in this instance.
And who's going to sit down with local PD detectives and spend 2 hours explaining to them how anyone can send an email as billclinton@whitehouse.gov and not actually be the former president?
But it seems like kickstarter has a service that's vulnerable to a fairly simple attack. Unless this stalker controls a huge botnet, how much spam posts can he really make on their forum? Why not let her moderate her forum to see if it gets out of hand?
And don't they have any sort of anti-abuse systems? Limit posts per day. Wait X minutes before another post. Per user limits. Per IP limits. Captchas. Moderated sub-forum that requires posts to be allowed. There are quite a number of options.

What a shortsighted nerd view.

I think being on FM might actually be counter to your social status.

Just as bold to be making claims about something you haven't even seen yet.

Most tablets I see have some game or video on them. eInk readers are obviously always displaying text.

The Financial Times costs $1, tax free. I think print is $3. The WSJ is $2 plus tax. Last I saw, it was $2.50 for print.

They'd like to be treated to dinner before going to second or third base, maybe?

Doesn't the summary say they weren't exactly told their activity would be monitored?
Instead, tell Ted Nugent they are wild turkeys.
