It's not really that they didn't include an icon -- that problem only happens on Win9x/Me. Sure including a main-window.ico does the job, but it's more like a hack than a fix. They want to solve the real problem, not include the icon file just because it works.
Agreed. This is especially true for a logarithmic graph, since most small e-mails got condensed in the bottom (while they may be even 4 times bigger than their surrounding neighboors). Those excessively big messages are distorting our view on the smaller ones.
One nice solution would be a not-so-tall version, so we can catch the density of each column more easily, while still making some idea of e-mail size.
But if we just wanted to check the load, a more conventional amount/time graph would be much better.
Considering their unique cookies and all, I believe they could provide a fairly accurate unique users total.
However, there's a minority that may block Google's cookies (or disable any cookies) or anonymize it. Blocking cookies will give you a new ID for every search, thus making you count a lot more in the statistics (and favoring your minority); anonymizing (like changing ID to 0) tends to make all anonymous users count as a single person, then decreasing the stats for these users.
But still, I do find Google has enough data to give us somewhat accurate results. Accurate enough for me to care.
The calendar extension is Sunbird's predecessor.
Though it is not bad, Sunbird has a nicer look (I wish I could say more, especially if it fixed the silly interface bugs from the extension, if only Sunbird didn't go into an infinite loop here when starting).
But, anyway, what matters is that Sunbird is the next step, and it's more recommended than the calendar.

In other words, it's easier to be saved by a spaceship in less than 30 seconds when you're abandoned in the outer space.
use whatever algorithm you can find a useful tool for, be it md5, sha1, or even crc32
Jeez, you just made me wonder: is it some kind of requirement to place a number at the end of every widely used hashing algorithm? Maybe it's the key to success we've all missed!
May I suggest an alternative? Sorry for being off-topic (yet related to the parent post), but I believe this may be valuable to some.
If you access/. through a RSS feed, you'll both save some time (because of how fast reading a tiny feed file is) and get rid of the weird color schemes, because all links from the feed point to slashdot.org, no subdomains.
If you're wondering about a practical RSS aggregator, well, the next Firefox release will feature that (pretty basic, but it will). For the impatient, there are the nightly builds (but you know, no guarantees and all).
Firefox, being a browser, just displays fairly well-written HTML pages.
GMail, being a web service, interfaces with browsers in HTML.
It's not like they made GMail with Firefox or any other browser exclusively in mind. While, of course, they want to make something that works consistently in various browsers, they didn't target it to the minority using Firefox, just to the browsers as a whole.
I'd suggest Keyconfig. Though, if I recall, you can't disable the shortcut (setting a shortcut to blank screwed up the whole shortcut system last time I tried), you may remap it to a different key set.
Yeah, that seems logical... but remember, there's the tracking cookie. That could make statistics a lot more reliable for those who maintain their cookies.
Linux users (and maybe Mac too) have a greater proportion of geeks and others aware of security and privacy concerns, agree? And here lies the people who may have anonymized their cookies or even blocked cookies. These people will be counted more than once, unlike those who keep their cookies.
So there, I just showed how the opposite scenario could happen.

I can't work on a place that produces such outdated code. What might their products look like? '98 stuff? I have my dignity!
Looks like you've found where the author was working on it!
I think Bush would say "both".
So this guy got a dozen Oscars, millions of dollars and still wants more!
I'm not from the US, you insensitive clod!

That's half 1337.
Anyone noticed the title of the song being played on this screenshot? (see the bottom right)

What's that exactly? An earthquake that copulates or something like if all the chinese went to bed at the same time?
Anyway, sounds fun! At least more interesting than building a house of cards.
Viruses don't need to self-propagate do succeed, they just need charisma. Take a look at my signature and see if you can resist.
You're right, maybe they should target more worlds :-)

I think you meant creative developers :-)
Ohh, sorry but you were not the first to think of that.
FYI, I'm using Mozilla Powermoose right now, sucker.
