  1. Re:What?!?! on DHTML Bug Found in Mozilla 1.2 · · Score: 1

    Did you try it?

    I was sceptical until I downloaded Mozilla and started using it.

    I can't work without this feature any more. At the moment I have nine tabs opened across three desktops in four windows.

    Also take in consideration the other applications that are running and imagine ALT-TABBING through all those windows to get what you want at any particular moment.

    Getting used to tabs however, takes a bit of time. So until you appreciate tabs, enjoy the pop-up control, which is king among killer features.

    Beam me up, Scottie.

    Accepting buybacks?

    I have worked in a record store for a couple of years and have never seen any of the majors do any thing like that. There was one world music label that took returns when placing a new order.

    However that was an order one, return one kind of deal.

    It's been awhile so maybe things have changed.

    I believe the cd became mass market, because of everybody replacing their vinyl copy of Sgt Pepper.

    You configure sources for apt.

    If you have a deb repository locally you won't need to go online..

    If you have the bandwidth you only need 20 or 30 MB for an initial install and then apt-get the rest from a mirror. For a dial-up user getting an ISO is the best way to install Debian.

    Apt-get warns and asks for confirmation in advance about the amount and size of packages it will need.
