But... the operating system is allowing Firefox to keep allocating memory. It's not a BUG, you're just a moron. The web application needs to be designed properly. If Firefox requests more memory than is available, that's a different issue. But as long as it can request memory, it will do so, and the operating system will allow it to. After all, the operating system is just there to serve the applications. The web app needs more memory, so firefox needs more memory, so the operating system gives it to it and gets bogged down. The whole chain starts with the web app being badly designed.
Except that you're comparing apples with oranges. Way to go, troll. The programmers still have to pay sales tax, just like everyone else. The issue is that they're now taxing their services, which will basically start limiting the availability of those services and eliminate their associated jobs in-state since companies will now either farm out the work, bring it in-house, or just not do it.
What an example of shitty web design. Anyway, does flash require a full process for each object, or can you just start all flash objects in a single flash instance? And either way, 7 processes isn't that much once you have the data cached. I think it'd be worth it. Windows does have a penalty for starting up a process vs. a thread, but it's still negligible when you're talking about 7 processes. If it were 700, then we might have a problem.
You can't just turn the radio off and use it in "airplane mode", or just as a media player. Makes it a no-go for anyone who travels regularly by air and still wants a single device. On the plus side, I've found my Blackberry 8800 is a pretty capable media player when you put a decent capacity MicroSD card in it and transcode the movies to an appropriate resolution, you can hold 3 or 4 on a 1GB card. And it has a real airplane mode and GPS.
Hell, any KDE program that uses the KIO objects can do that. I open things remotely via fish:// in Kate all the time, so I can edit the HTML directly on the web server, and still use a GUI program. I save it, and it automatically pushes it over the SSH link.
Yes. You're not starting a lot of separate processes, you're starting one more. The overhead is more than worth it for the stability. If you were starting 100 copies of flash I'd think otherwise, but that's not the case with a browser.
Unless of course the AJAX app doesn't properly release memory, and just keeps allocating new objects and/or adding elements to the DOM. In which case, the memory "leak" is in your the AJAX app, not Firefox.
I don't know about Linux, but apparently Nero has a DriveSpeed application that will allow you to limit the speed of your CD-ROM drives. Just running them at 16x or 32x instead of 48x or whatever will significantly reduce your optical drive noise. I just tend to rip CD and DVD images to the hard drive, so I don't worry about it one way or the other;)
It's big, requires a plugin, and takes some time to initialize? A PDF isn't like a web page, where you already have the rendering engine loaded and running, so it's just courteous to give people a head's-up that they might be clicking on something that will disrupt their normal workflow.
I'm still not a fan of cocaine being unregulated and wantonly added to soft drinks;) Just because the reasons for the drugs becoming controlled substances were racist and/or based on other false pretense doesn't mean that it's a bad thing. Opium isn't great as an uncontrolled substance, as it's highly addictive to even non-addictive personalities. That said, marijuana is a retarded thing to try to control. If the government really knew what it was doing, it would legalize pot, and then tax the hell out of it just like cigarettes.
Only if that business doesn't have a presence in your state. So, the answer is "sometimes". If I buy from HP online, I still pay tax since they have plants and such in Colorado.
It's because you don't understand why something should valued significantly for anything other than it's function;) Don't worry, I don't either. Some people put the appearance higher than any actual value, though. Which is why Gucci sells.
Why only major religions? Or are (most*) Druids and Wiccans not as equally misinformed about science as (most*) Christians and Muslims?
* I put the word most in because someone would inevitably get their panties in a bunch about it otherwise, stating something similar to "I'm a Christian and I know the scientific method, you troll!"
Yeah, they'd be better off. But that would take ambition and competence. There are a LOT of people who are perfectly comfortable (if not happy) to just work only within what they know, and keep things from changing as much as possible. Change is bad. The old guys would stay there as long as they knew they'd get their regular pay increases, and know exactly what's expected of them, and don't have to do much work.
On the other hand, if you had taken control of someone's account, then you'd be masquerading as the intended recipient. Seems perfectly reasonable to work with someone who they'd think should be getting the message.
That's only the Catholics (of which I'm a recovering one). Most "religious right" people believe in a kinder, gentler God and kinda just ignore the Old Testament.
Is it just me, or is trying to believe someone has a cogent opinion of history with the above post like taking the guy seriously who is standing on the corner with the sign saying "The World is Ending Tomorrow at noon!"?
Fallout wasn't well understood at the time... the full implications of a nuclear attack were not known. There was an inkling, but there was no concept of "nuclear winter" or anything like the sterilization that happened around Chernobyl. Hell, they tested the bombs in the continental US. I'm not saying that there wouldn't have been second thoughts about dropping it, but I don't think they'd have been able to consider the ramifications from a modern perspective of nuclear issues.
I hear they've figured out how to make USB drives bootable any more, and there's this nifty little program called FreeDOS, so really, there's no reason for a floppy drive any more.
I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but when we process ore to get those materials (chrome, lead, etc.), they are pretty much never in that concentrated of a state in the environment. It's not that they don't exist in the environment, it's that they don't exist in high concentrations, or that they were previously locked in ore that groundwater wasn't being filtered through. Which is the main issue... heavy metals really fuck up kids, and to a lesser extent adults. So we don't really want them in the water supply. You're either a good troll, or slightly ignorant, in which case I hope I've aided in your edification:)
Just as an FYI, a lot of people get annoyed at the "screw the Brits" rates, and quite fairly most of the time. But realize that prices in the US are quoted WITHOUT tax. The British prices include VAT charges, because you have sensible price advertising rules:P So, in reality, when you see a US price of $1000, add 8.235% (or so) to get the actual price we'd pay. That $1000 price is actually $1082.35 (on average) in the US. Just some food for thought:)

I don't even see the code any more, all I see is blonde, brunette, redhead...
Or 31 if you change bases to 2 instead of 10.

Replace the backlight? There are multiple ways a flat panel can die, sometimes it's relatively inexpensively repairable.

I don't think you mean rubber-hose cryptography. Torturing someone to get them to... encrypt information? Maybe rubber-hose decryption...
