    Why? They both had "900" CPUs (two z900 vs two Xeon 900). After all, the most important aspect of a computer is the number on its CPUs, isn't it?

    I think you either don't use GMail or didn't examine the pages carefully. They have hell of a lot Javascript/XML parsing/CSS tricks and they change the method according to the browser. I'm sure that half of the development time went for Mozilla compatibility.

    If you keep GMail in a separate window (instead of a tab) you can see taskbar button changing to something like "Gmail (3)".

    I believe it still won't show the count when a message gets labelled and skips inbox because of a filter.

    Probably it won't beep for the same message more than once (it shows the message snippet in the popup, so I understand that it knows the message sender, content etc).

    So why does GMail works with Firefox then?

    If you are talking about the FireFox extension; the version on the Mozilla update site is old. Go to the the homepage of the extension and download the latest version.

    You know you've been hacking too long when...

    ...you test a program, and it fails, so you jump into the editor, look at it, jump out, recompile and test (without making changes) and it still doesn't work, so you jump ........ and it still doesn't work ...... recompile without any changes........

    Thank you... Did you know that typing about:config in the url bar saves the hassle of editing prefs.js?

    Also I advise you to enable HTTP pipelining support by changing the values of network.http.pipelining and network.http.proxy.pipelining to true, and setting network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to a higher (like 100) value.

    Try visiting CNN before and after changing these settings (of course, delete your cache too).

    As I wrote in another post, some digital watches in the 80s required you to double press a hardware button to perform some task.

    Seriously, I had a digital watch which required you to press a button twice to show you the seconds. If you press once, it showed the date. If you are late to press a second time, it timed out and return to the clock view. I think this is exactly a prior-art (as it was about 1983-84).

    If you have a relatively small application, MSI is overkill. You have to include the up-to-date Windows installers too (2 different versions, ~1 MB each) to be sure. NSIS with LZMA solid compression whereas, creates a very small installer executable.
