Cool. I didn't know that ctrl-H hides Opera. That's too freaky. Thanks.
Anyway, sessions are not history. Sessions can have history, which is nice. But the idea is that I can have a group of windows all come up just the way they were when I left them.
They are two different features, both of which are very useful, and IMHO should be in every browser, especially sessions in browsers that crash a lot.
Faith, knave, canst thou not see that the parent post is funny? Hast thou the humure of a werme? Forsoothe, the dating may be off a bit, but the very satire shines.
Seriously, how we classify these animals is very much a political game. We can do things like figure out which animals had common ancestors and guess at how far back, but to say "X is a Q" is merely a labelling convenience. I'm not entirely sure where the religion came into this thread. I guess people can get pretty dogmatic about the labelling on both sides, but FSMs aren't directly involved.
I consider humans to be apes, but I think that there enough differences between "classical" dinosaurs and what we generally refer to as "birds" to have separate classifications. I would likely be hard pressed to draw the line between them, but there are species I would put on one side or the other. Of course, IANAT (I am not a taxonomist).
birds are highly evolved dinosaurs
That just says they are greatly changed from dinosaurs. We (humans and avians) are "highly evolved fish" from another perspective.
How about this link instead. It has been a while since that affair. Some of the younger viewers might not remember. (And older ones forgotten about it.)
I had wondered as a kid why CTV suddenly stopped showing Bab 5.
I've decided that you're old enough to be told now. The CTV execs were/are a bunch of pricks. They actually had a webpage saying basically "B5 fans - shut the **** up."
Don't blame me - I complained about the disappearance.
One of these days I'll have to get ahold of the DVDs and watch the series in its entirety...
From TFA "If you have to reboot, then what happens is that the system, together with the applications, takes a snapshot of the state: the way things are on the screen at that very moment, and then it just updates and restarts the application, or in the case of an operating system update, it will bring the operating system back exactly where it was," Allchin said. ... the user goes home leaving open files, the system would update and the screens would come back right to where they were before,
As others have indicated, the no-reboot feature is merely an advance on their current state of affairs.
This part sounds more ambitious, and a bit scary. It will be convenient for most users. But, there are times when I don't want an application saving what it has in memory to a file and going back to same spot.
I'm not sure that I'd leave this feature alive on my desktop.
When slashdot goes dark, at least we'll know why;-) Perhaps we could tell them what happened to their server.
Seriously, the original post in this thread is on the right path. If you are using software that is working well, is compatible with the existing tools, and you're happy with it - why change?
Immediacy of security patches might be one reason, but with the user base, I'd say that 1.3 will be around for a long time.
I read this as MPG sunglasses, and presumed that they had a video projection system. That product, I might be interested in. Sunglasses with music? Sorry, not interested.
The video-glasses won't be anymore distracting while driving than a cell phone, right?
A pandemic has reoccured with regularity every few decades, but this is shaping up to be
the deadliest in modern times if the mortality rates are anywhere near what they are now.
It's nothing (on a global scale) if the reported morbidity rates are anywhere near what they are now. Of course, that is the problem... if the disease becomes highly contagious, then we have problems.
While we should be concerned about pandemics, don't panic (yet;-).
Related to the quoted article, I can't find an original source of the report of Lance Jennings saying that there will be 75% mortality. This may be from the current reported cases, but to extrapolate this to the entire population seems a bit extreme. (Especially when your other article indicates that we have no idea of the incidence of infection.) Later in the Medical News article, a Chinese doctor predicts 300,000 fatalities in Hong Kong alone - which is a bit over 4% of the population. It is a significant number, but not the "end of civilisation" numbers predicted.
"Not to start a flamewar", but why is it that any time that phrase is used, it is followed by something inflammatory? Um, oh yeah inflammatory... don't blame me - I use the GOOD browser.
some I miss particularly - live headers , url navigator and the flash click to play thingee
Okay, I'm not familiar with all the extensions available for FF. However, the last one can be handled with a filteringproxy of some sort. As mentioned elsewhere you can "F12 u ctrl-R" in Opera to en/dis-able the plugins as well.
While everyone has their own tastes, Opera suits me fine. The only drawback it had for me is the lack of an ftp upload tool, but there are actually ftp clients, so I'm told;-)
I had forgotten that story was Clarke's. For some reason I had thought that was Asimov's. It doesn't ring the way a lot of Clarke's work does for me.
"People who say this is their favorite story of mine get a cooler and cooler reception as the years go on."
I can't find this quote online (even paraphrased), but I can hear him saying that. My favorite A C Clarke quote is his 69th Law.

Then you call the Vortex Blaster.
I think the original post meant this Aryan invasion theory.
The parent poster just does that because, deep down, he doesn't like you and wants you to suffer with FF. ;-)

Try them out.

New Scientist has a better picture of the foot detail.

Really? I know that FF 1.0.x was (I tested it), but 1.5 seems to work okay.
Opera isn't affected. ;-)
So these are the Great Toonolian Marshes, just buried?

Well according to the article, she couldn't speak or eat properly. (Okay, I don't eat properly, but that is by "choice", sort of.)
That would be pretty close to medically necessary. It's not strictly "cosmetic".

That was a case of Opera saving your life, just in case you had been in an environment with other people.
OMG - you mean by not buying an XBox ... I'm helping the enemy!?
Check this out. It is a beta release so you will want to watch out for some instabilities. Do not install over your working opera installation.
Not according to this. The rapture index is declining. (Must be a poll amongst married folk. How does one get to be a false prophet, anyway?)
The biggest WTF?
34 The Antichrist:
The French no vote on the EU constitution has downgraded this category.
Fasten your seat belts so the rapture don't suck you into them clouds.
The positive side of the ice core results: the water content of the atmosphere seems to have decreased - the core is almost full of it!
Warning: modding this down could unleash the Rapture!
Try a filtering proxy - I know you're going toget hints for various extesions, but you should check out proxomitron.
